Voting

For the Provincial election I would vote for the Conservative party. Mainly because they are going to help reduce Canadas pollution rates which are a big problem. Also I would vote for them because they are going to increase max loans for students. This could help a lot of students go to college and/or university. For the Federal election I would vote for the New Democratic Party. I like one of the points they made by hiring more doctors and nurses. Last time i went to the hospital it seem they were overwhelmed and it took hours.

V for Vendetta

In the movie V for Vendetta, V the main character said "The people should not be afraid of their governments.  Governments should be afraid of their people."  I completely agree with this statement. People should never fear their government because we should have the power to over rule them if we do not like the decisions that they make. If people are scared of their government it is because there is a lot of corruption and people aren't free. It also means that the government is in complete control. It should no be this way. The "people" should be told everything and have the power to disagree with the government if they do not agree.

FFP

This semester my class and I have been in this FFP course. Its new and different to the normal English/civics and career courses. What I like about this course is that their is no exam. I hate exams and hate studying for them. Also i like that in this course has a lot less writing. A lot of the work in on the computer and online. What I don't like about this course is the blogging. I'm not that responsible and if i feel like I don't have to do something I wont. Also, if I feel like its an option I would normally chose not to do it. I am not very good at expressing my opinion on things. If I was teaching this course id probably give an option to my students to either blog or do other work.

Racist Teens'

I've been seeing a lot of teenagers putting up racist videos on youtube. I don't put full blame on the teenagers who do it. Its obvious they were not born racist. Their parents must have had something to do with the reason they are racist. I think its really stupid to talk bad about a race and put it on the Internet. You are basically shouting out loud in public that you are racists. It is not surprising that racism still exists, but I think these teenagers are really dumb and should be taught not to hate another race.

“Am I ugly?”

I just read the article Am I Ugly and I am surprised that there so many teenagers who make videos asking if they are pretty or ugly. I do not know why they would post it on the internet, that to me is the worst place to ask a question about looks. The internet is full of cyber bullies or 'trolls' that make fun of other people because it makes them feel better. Putting a video on youtube asking if you look good is inviting the 'trolls' to make fun of you. I think its really dumb doing something like this and parents should tell there kids not to do this.

Lit. Circle

The two books I choose as my top two were I Robot and Lord Of  The Flies. The Discovery of Witches was one of the first books that was off my list because it has romance and magic. Also Outliers because the description was not that great. I picked I Robot and Lord Of The Flies because those were the only two I had recommendations for and that caught my eye. I choose these books because they seem very interesting. I Robot was a great movie and if the movie was good then the book should be good too. Lord of the Flies seem very interesting because it has a lot of violence and its kids who do it.
