    I do agree with what Ashton Kutcher and Christine Rosen are saying. Our technology is starting to pull us too close together. Today’s Facebook members are off the charts especially with younger people. Romance has changed from back in the day and has become a new completely different version. It is not all that bad if used the right way between people. Can we still live in a face to face world? Or will everything become digital?…

    The theme for my literacy is that everything has a connection. Such as during the summer, when I was on twitter I saw things regarding the shooting in the movie theater. I also saw news headlines on the subject along with facebook posts. At the time I was reading The City of Bones which is a book about violence and action and heroes. The connection between the book and the news was violence, violence is everywhere today, it has become ingrained in our civilization and is becoming a more regular thing. Back in the 1800's news of shootings outside of war was a very big deal. Nowadays, school shootings go nearly unnoticed after a couple of days, and no one seems to notice that in 24 hours 24 people were killed in shootings in the city of Chicago alone. Violence is a connection that can be seen in nearly everything today.…

    In everyday life situations we are arisen with problems that may challenge us. Reacting to these challenges, people take many different routes. How we respond to these bumps in the road is what defines us as individuals. In Freedom Writers we can see how the students face difficulties in their lives and in school; and how they choose to react to those challenges. The students of the film Freedom Writers choose to respond to challenge in three different ways; they give up, give in, or give it all they have.…

    Erich Fromm a psychoanalyst and social critic who stated we should be disobedient for an individual can create a whole new beginning to the society. Meaning, becoming obedient can change a certain man’s life rejecting from higher class and creating his own. But as one man invents the whole world would want it. Releasing a new introduction could lead to “commodity hunger” and becoming “one man” that can change the world. To become an individual, the best way to start is to disobey the law and be free from them to do whatever you want. Do your own material production.…

    12763502660015Many Jews were released from Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany. Thousands of Jews ran from the Buchenwald Camp as the resistance and the American army fought the Nazis - under the authority of Adolf Hitler. There are few Jewish survivors. Survivor Val Ginsburg sent a letter to Hírek Expert explaining his experience during the Holocaust. “When Hitler invaded Lithuania, my family chose to stay rather than flee, as we thought that direction under him would be better than our communist town. I was put to work as a slave laborer in the ghettos of Kaunas. All of my family was executed and I am the only one left. It is truly devastating.” Yesterday, April 10th, Jews planned to evacuate the premises, and the Buchenwald Camp would be liquidated. This took place at 10 o’clock am, and just minutes after, the first grenades and gunshots sounded, and the underground resistance started to rebel. Jews were told that they were to go towards the Appelplatz, as they were departing from the Buchenwald camp. This was when and where the underground resistance struck first. This rebellion occurred because certain people were opposed to the way the Jews were being treated, so they made a plan to annihilate the people who treated them like they didn’t want to be treated. This rebellion occurred because the resistance planned the rebellion. The American tanks arrived with armed men, guns, and grenades. Eliezer Wiesel, also a Holocaust survivor shares his thoughts on the Holocaust. “It was a miracle how the resistance happened, as I didn’t think I would make it out alive. My faith faltered during the first months, because of the events that have occurred. The Nazis treated us awfully, and the image and smell of people being burned, shot, and slaughtered will never leave my mind as long as I am alive.” These events have changed the lives of people all around the world: the people who were…

    The Universal Declaration Of Human Right is a document that was drafted by representatives from all over the world both in the legal field as cultural on December 10, 1948, in Paris and whose sole purpose was to ensure that all human beings, regardless of their level social, physical, health, sex, race or religion were treated equally, guaranteeing their freedom, dignity, freedom of expression, privacy and the right to life, among many others. This decision was taken as a common idea by all nations and is a guarantee that we can live as humans. But today we have developed many discussions on one of these rights and is the right to privacy, making us think that this could be the most important right among all, but I understand that no, the privacy is not the most important of the Declaration and then I explain why.…

    My name is Kemberly Flores. That’s right , my name is spelled different then other Kimberly’s. I still don’t know why my parents spelled my name like this. Maybe they didn’t even know how to spell it in the first place, but whatever I cant change it now. So I am just going to have to stick with it for the rest of my life. Well ignoring that, I was born in Atlanta, Georgia on October 18,2000. Yeah , I’m pretty sure you’re wondering why in the world would she move from Georgia to here, California. Well I moved here because over there in Georgia there is a lot of bad influence. I don’t want to get to detail, but it was a very bad place to live in, and it still is. I really like it here though. It is a very great place. It doesn’t have that great or amazing influence, but better than the one over there. We moved to California in the year 2010. So that’s means that I’ve been living here for more than 4 years. Pretty good time. Well enough of background - living . I am going to tell you more about myself. My favorite colors are purple, blue, and I have to say pink. My favorite football team are the COWBOYS!! They’re the best in my opinion. My favorite basketball are the Miami Heats!!

    Tam Lin has power by accidentally killing 20 kids instead of the British prime minister with a bomb in his past before he met Matteo Alacran. Although when he knew a wine was poisoned he drank it anyways. He also took on a father type form for matt. If you notice he says: “Power’s a strange thing, lad. It's a drug and people like me crave it. It wasn't till I met Celia that I saw what a monster I'd become. I was too happy, swaggering around in El Patrón's shadow. “He like I said earlier he drunk a poisoned wine well afterwards when matt returns to the vampire’s castle (opium) Celia says: “Tam Lin did what he wanted to do. He was guilty of a terrible crime when he was young, and he could never forgive himself for it. He believed this last act would make up for everything.” one of tam lin’s best quotes of power is with his honesty where he tells about never lying. The quote is: “I always say the truth is best even when we find it unpleasant. Any rat in a sewer can lie. It's how rats are. It's what makes them rats. But a human doesn't run and hide in dark places, because he's something more. Lying is the most personal act of cowardice there is”. Throughout Matt's childhood, we manage to almost forget about Tam Lin's real role at the Alacrán estate. It's easy to see Tam Lin as the rough-around-the-edges guy who is Matt's very loyal friend and protector. It's harder to see Tam Lin as a tough and mean bodyguard who is loyal to El Patrón.In the end, Tam Lin knowingly and willingly goes to his death by drinking El Patrón's poisoned wine after the old man's death. Matt, too, is devastated by his friend and mentor's death. But Tam Lin did what he felt he had to do and in the end he died a decent man, not a villain. He accomplished his goal and atoned for his sins.…

    The first civilizations were found near the Indus River. The Indus river valley civilization is an ancient civilization that began by the Indus river valley. Civilization is an advanced state of human society in which science, culture, industry and government have been reached. Excavations first started in 1921-1922 directed to a civilization that began about 4,000-5,000 years ago and research has given us a better picture of the Indus River Valley Civilization. Cultural exchange between the Indus River Civilization and Mesopotamia stands out. The Aryans invade the Indus River Valley Civilization. Darius the Persian conquers the Indus River Valley Civilization. Because of the destruction of the Indus River Valley Civilization writing fades away for a time. The Chinese cultures were to the north and northeast, past the giant Himalayas. Crossing the Thar Desert and thick jungles to the east, one would have come to the early people of the Ganges River Valley. The Indus people were isolated from the Mesopotamians and other near-east cultures to the west / northwest by the Hindu Kush and vast deserts. Finally, the people of the Indus Valley were hemmed in to the south by the Arabian Sea / Indian Ocean. Nevertheless, the Indus River civilization flourished and grew to control more land than either the ancient Egyptians or the Mesopotamians.…
