What worries me the most...

The thing that worries me the most is my mother. She lets her self go when things get rough. My mother has no hope for herself. She lives with a man who shows no respect, only for himself. She tells me that she has hope that one day he'll change knowing that he won't. I tell her that if he wants to he will by himself. Though she don't believe it. She has this abscessed tooth that she wont get fixed. It really bothers her a lot. What kills me the most is she don't know that i don't know what I'd do with out her.

Freedom of Speech

When you are kicked out of homecoming because your dress is "too short" or "too provocative." Does that violated our freedom of speech. What happens when the the same dress is aloud in by other girls? What happens when our First Amendment is violated ? Do we have the right to protest or will they call the police on us? Is there any way for us to stand up when our rights are violated and not get into trouble? Though when it comes to Dress codes in the schools their is a lot  consaveral about what is aloud is not. If you're under the age of 18, you don't have as many rights as you think. What does that tell all the minors in the world? that they are not as free as us over 18?a school administrator can restrict a student's speech or expression if he or she feels it is disruptive to the educational objectives or discipline. So when it all boils down to is that those in high schoolkids nothing really to say when it comes to dress codes because that have less rights.But as i was saying before they school had let the same dress in for different girls. What does that tell you?

What Civics is.....

   is the study of rights and duties of citizenship. In other words, it is the study of government with attention to the role of citizens ― as opposed to external factors ― in the operation and oversight of government.Most civic theories are more trusting of public institutions, and can be characterizing on a scale from least  to most  degree of trust placed in key public institutions. At the risk of extreme oversimplification, an historical view of civic theory in action suggests that the theories be ranked as follows:Trusting of the instincts and power of large groups—no consistent civics at all,No government or other hierarchy, a common ,nforced only by personal governance and voluntary association. philosophy based on the premise that all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one should be forced to sacrifice his/her values or property for the benefit of others. The government would be limited to protection of the country.
          
Civics refers not to the ethical or moral or political basis by which a ruler acquires power, but only to the processes and procedures they follow in actually exercising it. Thus, some figures, e.g. Napoleon, count as totalitarian because they instituted a  rules of succession to favor themselves and their families. Meanwhile, other figures who were arguably more cruel or arbitrary are ranked as examples of lesser public trust, because in practice they followed clearer procedures

Jimmy Cater

Not only was Jimmy Cater the 39th president,but in  August 25th,2010 Jimmy went to Korea, to release a prisoner. This is one of many great things that Mr.Cater did.Carter entered the Democratic primary for the Georgia State Senate in 1962 as a moderate, seeking to counter the influence of the state's strong segregationist faction. Carter proved himself one of the most able and dedicated members of the body and was easily re-elected to a second term. He has provided a fascinating account of these events in his 1992 book, Turning Point: A Candidate, a State, and a Nation Come of Age. the time for racial discrimination is over." It was an unprecedented statement for a Southern governor, but Carter made good on his words. He increased the number of African American state employees by 40 percent and hung portraits of Martin Luther King Jr. and other notable black Georgians in the state capitol. He equalized the funding of schools in rich and poor districts of the state, and created new educational facilities for prisoners and the developmentally disabled. On top of this he also streamlined the state's administration and with budgeting procedures, eliminating many government agencies and canceling a number of wasteful and environmentally destructive building projects. 1973 Jimmy Cater became the Democratic National Committee campaign chairman for the 1974 congressional elections. In the fact that president Nixon's resignation, and President Ford's preemptive pardon of his predecessor, the Democrats enjoyed exceptional success in the 1974 congressional election. in 1974 he announced hid decision to run for presidency, even though the next election was still years away.but Carter steadily lay the groundwork for his campaign, shaking hands and speaking to small crowds across the country. He made a special effort in Iowa, with its first-in-the-nation delegate selection caucuses. He was determined to win. in 1975 he wrote his life story so that the people knew what he was all about. In this autobiography he promised the people "a government as good and as competent and as compassionate as are the American people."  Caters southerns organs and unabashed faith were powerful factors in helping him to unite antagonistic factions of his party.Jimmy Carter was the first candidate from the Deep South to win the White House since Zachary Taylor in 1848. At his inauguration, Carter broke with precedent by walking down Pennsylvania Avenue with Rosalynn instead of riding in a limousine, as his predecessors had done. Carter's down-to-earth style manifested itself in many small ways, such as his insistence on carrying his own garment bag when boarding Air Force One. He continued to teach Sunday school classes in Washington, as he had in Plains, and sent his daughter Amy to a public school in Washington. One of his first priorities as president was to heal a lingering wound of the Vietnam War. On his first day in office, he signed an executive order granting amnesty to those who had evaded the military draft during the Vietnam War, an amnesty that did not extend to deserters. Many of the Carter administration's most noteworthy accomplishments came in the field of foreign affairs. President Carter established full diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China and made good on a long-standing American promise to return control of the Panama Canal to the Panamanians. After negotiating the necessary treaties with Panama, Carter prevailed in an exceptionally contentious ratification fight in the Senate. The outstanding achievement of the Carter presidency was the peace settlement between Israel and Egypt. Over 13 days of meetings at the presidential retreat, Camp David, Carter persuaded President An war Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel to end the 31-year state of war between their countries. Egypt was the first of Israel's Arab neighbors to make peace with the Jewish state. Israel ended its occupation of the Sinai peninsula and returned control of the territory to Egypt. In 1979 a revolution in Iran provided the most trying foreign policy challenges of the Carter presidency. After the victory of a fundamentalist Islamic faction in the Iranian revolution, radical students seized the American embassy and held American diplomatic personnel hostage,  demanding that the United States deliver the deposed Shah of Iran, who had sought medical care in the United States. Even after Shah's departure from the United States and his subsequent death in Cairo, the government of Iran refused to return the American hostages. After an unsuccessful attempt to rescue the captive Americans, President Carter was able to secure the Iranian government's agreement to release the hostages, but not until after he had been defeated for re-election by Ronald Reagan. Even though he his no longer president he is still very active, 1982 he university distinguished Professor at Emory University, in Atlanta, Georgia. Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter were early supporters of Millard and Linda Fuller, founders of Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that helps build homes for the needy in the United States and in other countries. For his actions in 2001 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.Most ex-presidents publish a volume of memoirs or two, but Jimmy Carter has carried on an impressive career as an extremely prolific and successful author. As of this writing, he has published 23 books. In addition to his presidential memoir Keeping Faith, written shortly after he left office, he has written memoirs of childhood, books on religion, spirituality, aging and family life, a volume of verse, and a historical novel, The Hornet's Nest, set in the South during the Revolutionary War. From the day he entered public life, this has always been his first concern. It is that quality of moral leadership that has given Jimmy Carter a unique role among all the men who have held the office of President of the United States.

Five years after Kateina, still homeless

On August 29, 2005, one of the worst hurricane's that had it the United States. There many people in New Orleans who lost there homes. FEMA set up emergency assistance trailers, those who were waiting for grants. Theses trailers were very spacious o the parents shared a tiny bedroom with there kids using what they could for bedding. Most of the trailers were also health hazard.
                 Then there are those who wanted to rebuild there houses and didn't have enough money. So when they applied for grants. There are those who got them, but when the constructor workers took advantaged put up this kind of drywall that made many people sick. So those who found out about this drywall had tear down and start over. Many people are still homeless and have no places to go because of the storm.

                        "We've lost a lot," Kings says, "but a new beginning is better then none at all."

My Thought's

My thoughts about Globaloria is that I will be able to experience a topic that I never even thought of doing. I hope I have a good  time while doing so. I'm sure that I will have many problems, and I like a challenge but I am looking forward to trying something new.
