WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT ?

Thousands if not hundreds of thouand of children are being abused every year. Child abuse can be sexual. Another form of child abuse is when parents force their children to work in their place especialy when underaged. These problems occur all over the golbe and have been occuring for centuries but have lessened over the years because of several reasons. Some of these reasons are law inforcment, diminishing of povety, and the spread of education. The key to stoping these problems is education. By education everyone, including the people who abuse of their own children or other's childre, people will become aware of the troubles this brings. Some of the problems are pre teen mothers and aldolecent felons. The bigger problem though is that the children abused now might and have a larger probabilty of becoming abusers themselves. To help control some of these problems, governments have set down rules for people to follow. In an example of childlabour, Canada's law is that there is no childlabour permised and children under the age of 14 years old are not allowed jobs. This was the olny child labour in Canada will be inside a home because noone will employ a child under the age of 14 anywhere else. To help us stop this madness please visit: http://www.invisiblechildren.org/ and search for "April is Child Abuse Month" and write your response. Hope that you write me some constructive comments about my blog and this issue. Thank You and until next!

Change There Must Be - Take Action

Since President Obama is talked about this, I talked with my father about it too, and we came to some personal conclusions. We both went our separate ways, so here’s my side of the story. In a big study done by the World Health Organization in the year 2000, it is illustrated that the United States was 37^th on the list in terms of health care. Despite what other stubborn people might think the ranking is pretty accurate even considering sources of error, and there are those who would testify to the belief of a lesser tanking. One must keep in mind that the majority of western European countries are better in healthcare than the US. . For instance, France is rated #1. Never the less, other countries such as Singapore, Colombia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco also rank better US. . Other countries such as Italy, Spain, Austria, and Norway also are on the upper part of the long list and most of them are in the top ten.

Yes, I believe that the efforts made by the people of the United States should be carried through so that the United States moves closer and closer towards socialized health care. Why am I saying this? Well let’s ask ourselves: Do the countries motioned above, having great healthcare systems, have socialized health care? The answer is yes. Doctors in the United States suggest that the people who are less fortunate should not receive the same level of health care as the ones who are fortunate. These are the actions of greedy people. As a citizen of the United States one should reflect on whether or not these people should be allowed to dictate who gets the best health care. Are you going to throw away your money to healthcare insurances and doctors when you could have it for free, when it is your write to have it if you should choose to? Even if the company you work for pays for it, it is still coming out of your pockets, only indirectly. Your salary could be higher if your employers did not have to pay for your healthcare. Change there must be. Take action because it is my write.

What does imperialism do?

Imperialism in the United States of America let that wounderful country to have part in

affairs in other coutries. When the countries around this wouderful country realized what a world power, they tured to it for help. There was not one cause for this imperialism to start in the United States in the late 1800s. The humanitarian reason was that many people such as doctors and missionaries believed they should spread law medicine, and Christianity to other countries.

As the industry grew, people found a need for more natural resources such as rubber and

petroleum. They also needed more markets to gain more money.

The rise in nationalism was also a big factor because the people of the United States

beleived theat they were superior to other countries and it was their duty to spread their

beautiful ways.

Military factors were also a big factor.The advances in technology, especialy in military

thechnology, made the United States need more military bases around the world to things such

as refueling and protecting their nation and its people.

An example of imperialism is when the secretary of State (Seward) bought Alaska from

Russia in 1867. The United States were convinced that Alaska had many natural resources that

could be useful to them. Another expample is when America interfered with a Cuban rebellion

against Spain. Cubans demanded help from American. When President McKinley requested from

spain that these problems be solved with peaceful solution, Spain refused to give Cuba its

independence.

The United States intervened with other countries' affairs for the common benefit of

everyone. This wounderful country helped the weeker ones from the univentable European

powers that have always roamed to disterb peaceful relations.
