Service learning

For service learning iam in the homelessness group with Mr. Ackerman. We are trying t to come up with some type of project that has to do with helping the homeless. So far everybody has showed great interest in the group &; we work well together. So far, we came up with the idea of making brown paper bag lunches and giving them to a shelter. Nobody really wants to fun raise because its to much work. Three things that i liked during our last meeting was the fact that we had to pass around a ball && if we didn't have the ball we couldn't speak. Another thing that I liked was how Mr. Ackerman controlled the group. What I mean by that is that kept us under control but in a mature way. And the last thing I liked about our group was ow much progress we made. I didn't dislike anything because I agreed with every one's ideas.&; we all work well together

NHD reflections

For my national history day project I choose to do an exhibit with five other people another freshman and four sophomores. We talk about what would be good topic to cover conflict and compromise and would interest us at the same time. We ended up with the L.A riots and choose to focus on the racial impact . We had many success such as our research we had great primary sources. Also our interview was the bomb being as though who we interviewed actually was there to experience the 3 days in hell. Another success was that we got it done on time and we also made it work. Within my project i learn how to manage time and work with other people and also how to organize. And within nhd it self i learn that i have to get my work done and not waste time and that it easier to work by yourself. I face many challenges being as though i had to have so many sources it was hard looking for them and making sure they were correct. I also had challenges with my peers were we did quit numerous times. My changes for next year is that i would work by myself and had a better time schedule. Also next year i will choose a narrower topic so that it will be easier for me

controversial topic

A controversial topic discuss very much is the sexual consent age . Most grown ups believe that we should wait until were grown or married to have sex, Most mature young adults think other wise. According to the goverment the sexual consent age in Pennsylvania is 16 for males and females no matter your sexual orientation . Sometimes the age consent age is different for males and females . I believe that there shouldn't be a sexual consent age because if we the people are one and free we should be able to have sex when we choose to as long as we agree to it . Age of consent basically is a consent of age at which the law thinks a young person is able to understand and agree to consensual sex .

I personally believe that there should be no sexual consent age for the fact that it's a choice . If people put laws on our choices what real freedom do we have . If a person is 14 with the mind of a 20 year old he or she shouldn't be able to engage in sexual intercousre because they want to . I understand that some people aren't ready for it but when you look at it nobody knows what to do . When you look at sex you basically see it ever where on videos cause people now sexually stimulate themselves through the media.

In conclusion

Should Huck finn be taught at school

No I dnt think Huck finn should be taught at a public school. I dnt think huck finn should be taught at public school because he is not fit to be taught at public school. huck finn is way too ignorant too get along with others in school. huck finn will not properly a just to the way our school system works because of what he is use to. huck finn might be itimidated because of how ppl might treat him and tease him. so therefore no Huck finn should not be taught in school

As you know over two hundred years ago our founding fathers created a constitution to protect our rights and to crate better justification to protect our rights. In America we have a lot of conflict dealing with our rights and constitution. Years ago our constitution didn't help us but since 1800 our constitution has change a lot. I do believe our constitution solves conflict because of a class simulation. I also think our constitution resolves conflict because of our human nature by the way we the people act and how our constitution makes it better. An example of how our constitution change over time because of case that dealt with an African American man name Dred Scott .

In a class simulation we came to a fault were we dealt with major conflict. We separated into different parts of our government and had groups such as a house of Reps., Congress. Citizens etc.. I was in the citizens group and played a major part dealing with the ideal to society. Within this group we tried to put a halt to the ideal to society which also dealt with the ichip. A citizen name Justin Bryant sued the government because of our constitutional rights using the 1st amendments 4th amendment and the patriot act. The 2/3 of the House of reps. tried to impeach the president because he was being unfair and doing illegal things. So this is an example of how our constitution resolves a conflict.

Another reason the constitution change over time to resolve conflict is because of the Dred Scott. The Dred Scott case involved the courts vs. Dred Scott. In this case Dred Scott filed suit for his freedom. After an eleven year case the Supreme Court finally said that Dred Scott should remain a slave. Around this time our constitution didn't resolve conflict for all Americans males even woman. Now our constitution wouldn't have taken eleven years to make a decision because Dred Scott wouldn't have to argue his rights for freedom due to the first amendment of our constitution as in WE THE PEOPLE.

Furthermore our constitution is great at solving conflict now. Our constitution resolves conflict due to our human nature because if we choose to do something that is bad to our constitution, we basically get checked because we choose to do wrong and we don't have the right to go against our constitution. When were at anywhere at all we have the right to amendment nine, which protects our privacy anywhere. So basically depending upon how we act or what we do our constitution can help us with our checks and balances and conflict and compromises.

In conclusion our constitution does effectively resolve conflict. It helps us in many effective ways to make our world better. It helped us in class simulation, which gave us a better understanding of how our constitution works. Also our constitution has effectively gotten better at resolving conflict since the 1800's and the dread Scott case. And finally it helps us in a way it affects to our human nature depending on what we do and how we act. So does our constitution effectively resolve conflict well yes I am afraid it does.
