June Letter

Space

1. If there other places where we could live. Other habitable planets. We need to know if we can survive  the trip through space.

B) Ever heard the saying you can remove the boy from the farm, but you can't remove the farm from the boy? It's the cycological mind set. You can't go to far. 

C) Not getting along with the person, You don't know how others would get along with being stuck for 6 months. 

2. I would refuse. Because not many people like to hang around with me so it would probably be hard.

Swine Flue or H1N1

#1 Lets think reasonably even If I wanted to still go. It would be foolish and a waste of money. Everything was closed down by the government of Mexico there would be nothing open for anyone to go to even if we wanted to or could. 

Bird Alert

You'd think that they would be glad were not putting birds in harms way. Yet People are distressed because of it. We Should be more reasonable when it comes to bird. We didn't have the technology before so birds were safe but now we have a lot of different styles of technology so birds are a waste of time in some people's cases. I think we should make the economy and environment better so i think we should help the birds.

John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes was a british homosexual economist who helped the 20th century economy and helped shaped Capitalism. He was usually part of  a lot of different conventions. He wrote The conventions. He also edited journals and he was important to the british treasury. His 1936 book, General theory of employment, Interest and Money, Mad Him Quite Famous.

He was born on June 5th, 1883, into a family of economists. His father was a big economist, His Mother was highly educated at Cambridge University. John Maynard Keynes entered this sane university in 1902. John was encouraged to change his academic abilities to politics and economics instead of his smarts in math. He was taught by a economic professor named alfred Marshall Who said that he was the best and most achieved student of his teaching career.

After his learning experience he started to show the world his beliefs. He believed that the government should be able to go into debt in order to help the country and the economy and the people who didn't have any way to get a job. He thought that the people who went to war should help their countries back to recovery. He thought after both wars were done that the government should go help Germany to repair their country. This person wanted to fix the world.

What do I think about this situation? It is very confusing in away because one side of me agrees with him and my other side doesn't. I do agree that people should  make peace and help those around you. Yet, I think that you shouldn't help a country that wants to kill you after a war when they are in a bad situation.

This guy has beliefs that i agree in and disagree in. I think he has a weird belief in to help Germany after a war when the wanted to kill them. I also agree with him that there should be peace around the world. I don't think we should be concerned with his beliefs now of days. John Maynard Keynes was a Okay Guy.

The International Monetary Fund

The International Monetary Fund or IMF is an organization of 185 different countries around the world. They are working to foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth, and reduce poverty around the world.

The International Monetary Fund has a lot of different history situations with them. The IMF has played a part shaping the global economy since the end of World War 2. There first deal was the cooperation and reconstruction of 1944-1971. The Next one was The End of The Bretton Woods System (1972-1981). Another one is Debt and Painful Reforms (1982-1989). The funding Has helped a lot of people and still is.

The International Monetary Fund has a lot of work they have to do. The IMF monitors the world's economies, lends to members in the economic difficulty, and provides technical assistance. The IMF's fundamental mission is to help ensure stability in the the world's international system. It does so in three ways: keeping track of the global economy and the economies of member countries. They do a lot of lending to different countries around the globe and help balance payment difficulties.

For helping a lot of different countries around the world they have a lot of finances to deal with. They also want to keep everything perfectly organized just in case of something bad. The IMF has a management team and a lot of different departments that carry out its country, policy, analytical, and technical work. One department is charged with managing the IMF's resources. They also have a lot of different places where they get their resources.

The International Monetary Fund has been a big success. It has helped so many people and countries that are in need. They are good with their Organization and Finances. The do a lot of good work to the people who are in poverty. If the International Monetary Fund keeps on doing a good job then the world could be a better place.

Oka Crisis Timeline

The Oka Crisis

I don't even remembering hearing about the Oka Crisis. It never been said around so i am guessing it not that popular. I think it has some good points how it was violent to Canada. I think these things that I'm going to talk about has value to this essay

Armed members of the Mohawk first nations did a protest in March 1990. They were protesting plans to build a golf course on the land. They claimed was one a burial ground and contained a bunch of pines trees planted by their ancestors. They think they that the golf course is the only way to make their land more welcoming.

The Mohawk wasn't consulted with the plans of the golf course idea. The land was part of a larger piece of land that is owned by the Mohawk since 1717. The claim has been turned down be federal offices of Native claims in the 1980'a on technical grounds across the land. The Mohawks still maintained it by their own rights and keep. Then they started to go insane.

You want us to look at points from the crisis. The Soldiers were criticized a lot through this problem. People In Eastern Canada were scared for their lives during this. I can for sure understand their fear because If some people from first nations or any nation barricade the roads i'll be worried and scared to leave my home. When this happened in Quebec the first nations were threatening verbally and with weapons. This caused a very bad problem to the province.

I think most of the problem in the Oka crisis wasn't the golf course but the barricading. I think that's when people were scared for their lives and worried that they will get in trouble. People didn't leave their home because of fear. I think this gave a bad name to the Kanesatake people and they didn't receive any respect. People in General are violent people. The Oka Crisis was a very unfortunate event that took place in the history of Canada.

UNPFII

In the UNPFII, The Permanent Forum is an advisory body to the Economic and Social Council with a Mandate to discuss indigenous issues related to most of the economic development and social development, culture, the environment, education, and heath and human rights makes the Permanent Forum what it is.

According to its mandate, the Permanent Forum will provide a lot of expert advise and a lot of recommendations on indigenous issues to the Council. As we as to programs, agencies and funds of the United Nations, through the Council. It also will raise Awareness and promote the integration and coordination of activities related to indigenous issues within all of the Un system. And the mandate will also prepare and disseminate information on  indigenous issues.

Indigenous populations and other Indigenous peoples in the working groups felt that the structures of the United Nations were not well-suited to consider issues of concern to indigenous peoples comprehensively. In addition, all of them felt that the participation of indigenous representatives in the in the United Nations was limited. In Bright and light concerns, the Indigenous peoples and others proposed establishing a new body  that will focus on global and economic issues related to all of these aboriginal people.

The Main issue that is produced through these people are dealing with the fact that their ways of life and society are being taken from them in a very short time. Indigenous people feel like their culture and life style is being taken away from them. And they are no longer able to participate in their special culture activities and things. I think that they should be free to have a point, but I also think that they should adapt to different cultures that are important around them. Maintaining a culture is extremely important but i think they should  at least adapt to other important cultures.

The UNPFII, The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous issues, theme is Partnership for Action and Dignity", The program is an advantage for the indigenous people to have. The UNPFII allows them to organize and keep their culture traditions. It also helps in keeping all of the Indigenous people aware of their present situations. This is a good thing because, Everybody can step up to the plate and speak, so they can have their own opinion and input from what the heard.

Imperialism and Eurocentrism

Imperialism is an association between peoples that intentionally benefits one people over another. Laying claim to territories inhabited by Indigenous or non-indigenous peoples, seizing land and resources through conflict and warfare, and then imposing political control often accomplish this. The peaceful definition for imperialism is “the belief in the desirability of the acquisition of colonies and dependencies or extension of a countries influence through trade, diplomacy, ect.”

Eurocentrism is a belief that the European worldview is superior to others. This is also called European imperialism. The difference between the two is that Imperialism and Eurocentrism is that Imperialism benefits people to one and another. Eurocentrism finds that Europe is more superior to the rest of the countries in the world.

Europeans were very competitive with one another during the 17^th and 18^th centuries. Each nationality wanted to be bigger and better then the others that were against them or an ally with another. Any way each nation was very competitive. They believed that to gain prestige, a country needed to be both very wealthy and extremely powerful. And to gain their prestige, a country has to have colonies. The more territory that they controlled or able to control, the more powerful and important they thought they could become.

During the 1800s a global economy began to develop. The activities of European capitalists spread far and wide. They sought out the raw and natural materials to feed their factories and other companies. The entrepreneurs in Europe did well, and so did the managers as well. The objectives of the Europeans were Eurocentric-each country focused on gaining power, advantages and benefits over another European Country, at the expense of Indigenous peoples in the lands they controlled.

In the late 19^th century various nations entered a phase of territorial expansion often called the Second great era imperialism. Britain and other European countries and united states were very territorial and wanted to impact their religious values and other values that they had to other countries.

This imperialism coincided with growing concern in Canada about its relation ship to the British Empire. The responsibility for External Relations was under Britain, and Britain funded Canada and other public domains. But still these countries were so loyal to the British Empire but a fear that lead to total absorption haunted them from Britain.

Though Canada is one of the very few countries that was under imperialism from the British Empire, though we are now a very independent country we still ne lot’s of support and needs from Britain, even when they have no control over our country anymore. This is almost the type of imperialism that our culture, it self, is similar to Britain’s culture. We are also imperialized by the culture, support, and needs from the United States of America. We share their culture and almost everything with them as well.

Overall, imperialism has a good impact on Canada-from the time when Canada was under the rule of Britain where all the taxes and fur trades went back in the day and until now when we are free and very strong we still need the support that comes from the other countries that are very imperialized.

Silk Road

The Silk Road has a great impact on medieval Europe. The Silk Road is an ancient trade route between China and the Mediterranean, 4,000 miles between each other; followed by Marco Polo in the 13^th century to reach Cathay. China trades with West Europe past the Mediterranean. This made life easier for the different people from both sides of the Mediterranean.

The first change that Silk Road brought was to enable people to transport trade goods to other cultures and countries. They usually sell spices and natural resources type of things, and clothes. Trade on the Silk Road was a significant factor in the development of the great Civilizations. And in several respects helped lay the foundations for the modern world. The Silk Road also divides into the northern and southern routes bypassing the Taklimakan Desert.

Another change that occurred by the Silk Road was that it started to trade with countries that only could be reached by the sea. The sea routes were around southern Asia to reach to countries like the Philippians, Japan and others.

A negative change that happened because of the Silk Road was Social Consequences.  The social consequences effected china and Europe in a negative way through people who need different kinds of things. 

Sudan

On the year of 1881 Britain colonized and ruled Sudan. But as soon 1889 came around Britain made an agreement to own Sudan with Egypt. In 1920’s, they created a “closed door policy to separate the peoples and cultures of north and south Sudan from one another. In the Northern part of Sudan was populated primarily to people of Arab descent. Southern part was home primarily to Africans.

Sudan gains independence from Britain and Egypt, in 1956. The former colonial rulers agreed to abandon the closed-door policy that had separated the north and the south. North and the south of Sudan were reunited, and power was handed over to the Arabs in the north. Arabs made it believable that Sudan was an Arab country. They began to impose Islamic culture and religion and the Arab way of life, so the Africans didn’t have a choice to impose their culture.

The continued British occupation of Sudan fueled an increasingly strident nationalist backlash in Egypt, with Egyptian nationalist leaders determined to force Britain to recognize a single independent union of Egypt Sudan. With the formal end of Ottoman rule in 1914, Husayn Kamil was declared a Sultan of Egypt and Sudan, as was his brother Fuad who succeeded him. After years the Sultan of Egypt and Sudan became just Sultan for Egypt. Sudan became it’s own country on January 1, 1956. 

Potlatch

Potlatch is a ceremonial feast held by some Indians of the northwestern coast of North America (as in celebrating a marriage or new accession) in which the host gives gifts to tribesmen an others to display his superior wealth (sometimes, Formerly, to his own impoverishment.)

During the event, different events take place. Like either singing or dancing, sometimes with masks or props of any kind, it makes the Potlatch more entertaining. It is kind of similar to parties and the potlucks we have now. Except the host gives the presents at potlatches instead of the guest. The guest gives the presents at the parties.

The reason why potlatches are similar to modern societies entertainment is that they have the gathering like a potluck. Everybody from around gather around enjoys the food the chat between one another and watch good entertainment. But today’s society we are kind of different. The guests bring the presents for the host instead of the host giving presents to the guests.

Within it, hierarchical relations within and between clans, villages, and nations, are observed and reinforced through the distribution or sometimes destruction of wealth, dance performances, and other ceremonies. The status of any given family is raised not by who has the most resources, but by who distributes the most resources. 

Residential Schools

Residential Schools are Boarding Schools for acculturation and assimilation of Aboriginal students, run by religious groups or government from the 1830’s to the 1950’s. These schools are trying to change the culture of aboriginal students to make them follow the culture and religion of the white people.

These schools made the aboriginal students to stay away from their parents for long periods of a time. The reason being is that the government didn’t want the aboriginal children to follow the traditions and the history of their people. The Europe owned Canada during this time so they wanted their ways to be expressed through the world.

In 1884, the Indian ct was amended to make attendance in Indian Schools Compulsory for status Indians under the age 16 until they reached 18 years of age. This Legislation created a system of Government-funded, church-run residential schools. The schools were located in every province, including Alberta, but not Newfoundland Labrador, or New Brunswick, or P.E.I.

In these Schools they had social Consequences. Some believe that many of the social problems that communities of the Aboriginal face today are problems and consequences. Directly or indirectly the residential schools under laid the social environments of the Aboriginal people. They had a physical and emotional abuse in these schools, which caused hardships and sadness.            

The schools, I think were hell to the Aboriginal people, because they didn’t get to lead their lives in their own way. They didn’t get to experience their culture and how to follow the traditions from what their ancestors after ancestors did.

Oil and gas companies took over lands of the Lubicon people to get money and everything they need to get richer. From all of this, the lands of the Lubicon people have been tortured by these oil companies which the Lubicon people have no say of how to stop this problem. The oil companies have been cutting down acre after acre and taking down the moose population. The Lubicon people asked the government if they could reserve this land so they can keep their tradition and culture. The Government said no. Later they made an agreement but then the Government withdrew from it before it was finalized.

            It think in the future they will make an agreement that won’t have a government that won’t withdraw from the agreement. I think it would be much more simpler if they actually cared for these people. I think they should give rights and be more caring to their culture.

Marginalization Issues Part 1

 

When people are left out of politics, social activities, and economics and other preparations. This Marginalization people, who are left out in these kind of cases. The indigenous Australians of Cape York Peninsula in Australia are Marginalized people.

The indigenous Australians had a strong culture, language, and long historical experience.  Though the have a good culture the struggle threw many challenges. They go threw Poverty, disease, dependence on social assistance, and life expectancy of only fifty years.

In 1999, the government issued an official statement of regret for mistreatment of Indigenous Australians. This was called the National Sorry Days. This held on each year on May 26^th since 1998. This kind of situation is happening because the government is regretting what they did to them before this situation, but not an apology. This Day is a Journey of Healing. This day should be apologizing instead of acting like they are regretting of how they are treated. 

Bank Crisis

The Bank Crisis is periods of time were the banks couldn’t afford to make loans for their consumers. Or they can’t afford to keep any mortgages or can’t afford any consumer to stay at the bank.  One thing that can cause this is recession. Another problem can cause this is that people spend more money on things that they can’t afford. The finale problem I am going to talk about in this essay is the house booms and crashes.

The Recession causes a bunch of problems from losing jobs to the bank problems. The Recession makes banks go under by losing money. Banks lose money because people get greedy and they want to borrow more money from the bank from what they can afford. They continue this cycle and then the bank crashes and this is from people wanting and the bank letting.

People spending more money then what they can afford is one of the problems in the banking crisis. People want a bigger house then what they can afford so they go to the bank to ask for more of a loan or down payment. This is foolish because when they have to pay back the mortgage they can’t afford to pay it back. This is a big reason why the bank is going through a financial crisis is because they are lending more to people from what they can afford.

Another problem that caused the bank crisis is the house crashes. The reason why house gave problems to the banks is that when they let out more money to someone who can’t afford. People get Houses that cause them to get kicked out of their homes when they can’t afford them; the bank gets the house. Then they try to sale them but so many houses go under so they can’t make any money off the house. This is a big part of the financial crisis.

The bank crisis gets more foolish over the years. People ask more money from the bank that they can’t afford to pay back. This causes people to lose their homes and to lose what they own. So the banks try to sale them but they can’t because all of the houses went down under. This is a big reason why there is a recession. This is the reason why we have a banking crisis.

All of the articles were secondary points of view. It had a lot of opinions involves with these articles

Moko

1. Moano Maniapoto doesn't want people to get confuse with symbol instead of tattoo. She wanted to show people that there is a difference between tattoos and Mokos. She wants to say that Moko is a culture not a disgusting thing that people do. She wants to present a example how people present their culture.

She is Directing this message to us, or to the people who despise tattoos. She is saying in her song that no one should judge people by how they look but by how they feel inside. She is saying that they have pride but in a different way how we have pride.

2. Moano Maniapoto puts both facts or opinions in her song. She is showing how her song has facts in it by presenting the culture that the Mokos have. She also has her own opinions by presenting what she believes in and how that culture is not wrong to show how their pride is on their skin. She is giving her opinion that it is not sickening but that it is a thing they believe in to make themselves look beautiful in their own way.

She is showing her facts and opinions by expressing them in song and to present them in hearts. A opinion is saying that the tattoos is strength on their skin. She is probably meaning it is a fact for representing the tattoo as strength by showing how strong their culture is that no one can run them down.

3. I think Moana doesn't believe in globalization because she is presenting a song that doesn't represent Globalization. She is representing only one culture and how we should just respect them for who they are instead of represent all these different cultures so we should respect everybody including our selves.

Premier Legacy

 A Premier Legacy shows the first gift of property. Now from Richmond B.C., this oval is going to bring a excellent facility. It said that the Richmond Oval was primarily designed for legacy use, while delivering on all Olympic venue specifications. This event is going to be a very special one because they are constructing a new facility. This Facility is going to be better for the  people because it is going to create a good impact on the games.

High Risky Activities

Every place on earth has High risky Activities. There are Benefits and even risks to each activity. A sport I think is risky is doing advanced Snow Boarding. You Get Glory and fame possibly but it can cost your life. You can get severe injuries or a bad reputation if you lose a game or don't do any tricks. High risky sports or any king of activity can get over the top to the point it can cost a life.

What is it like to be a Canadian

What is it like to be a Canadian? What does a Canadian mean? The answers are difficult and challenging. I believe a Canadian is like an american, the only difference is that they are in different countries. 

I think a true Canadian means that you treat your environment right. Most Canadians think they are Canadians but the treat their surroundings like a savage. For example taking down trees that have no use for taking down. We as a true Canadian have to beware of what we do and help what we can help. Example Don't travel as much, Recycle, and use our natural habitat wisely. We are not wise with environment, As a true Canadian lets do something about it.

A Canadian has to have a lot of spirit. A Canadian should understand how to support Canadian teams and politics. Meaning Vote and Cheer for what ever situation comes up. Canada needs support from people.

One more thing I think that is means to be Canadian is how we treat others. I think we should be more civilized with others instead of being disrespectful and cruel. We should be stopped instead of thinking that we can do ever we want. Consequences can happen and we should be thoughtful to others and not do criminal aspects.

There is so many ideas of "what it means to be Canadian." The thoughts I put in this essay Ibelieve in. This is what a Canadian is suppose to mean and I think canadians should agree
