To all the principles and teachers who feel they need to hide things from their students about historyand keep us young adults out of the loop YOUR WRONG! The Rape of nanking was very deep and disturbing to hearr about however very true and something that needs to known to young adults (highschool students). The rape and deaths did not only happen back then things such as this our happenng in our world today. I feel not editing the history of this topic or any topic can probabley give kids more apreciation for the way they live and how things are although these types of things still exist today, it does not compare to back then between 250,00 to 300,00 people were killed! Thats insane. Now a days people die from a number of things. Those numbers you see are of people dying from the cause of the topic.

minding our own business

I feel that the US should not get involved in the interventions of some countries. The US is the peacemaker and always interfering. But if we were to step back and not help it would raise some eyebrows and many would wonder why the US isnt doing anything, it would be in the our best intrest to interfere however i feel other countries should stand on their own and deal with their conflicts themselves, however if they are not succesful in the process of helping themselves then the US could step in and try to help. The US shouldnt be the hero all the time. We have enough on our plate worrying about our own problems, we should not have to worry about other countries as well.

2 trials 2 men and a crime

Being a member of the CSI i was told that my task was to investigate the case of Sacco and Vanzetti. It is the year 1921, i have investigated many cases in the years of me working but this case and trial was the toughest by far. Sacco and Vanzetti were italian anarchist who were charged with murder during an armed robbery in South Braintree Massachusetts, He came to the united states at seventeen Both men were born in italy. Ferdinando Nicola Sacco born in Southern italy and on April 22, 1891 and died on August 23, 1927 vanzetti left italy and came to the united states at the agae of twenty Sacco and Vanzetti both came to the unites states in the year 1908, but both met years after coming to the U.S. in 1917. Luigi Galleani another italian anarchist was who Sacco and Vanzetti followed who was for violence played a role in Sacco and Vanzetties wrong doing im sure. The execution date for both these men was on August 23, 1927, they had 2 trials. Both trial were very long and time consuming, In this case it is very hard to defend criminals like Sacco and Vanzetti, there crimes are nothing minor. Although i believe the should have not ne defended Vanzetti was represented by an attorney John P. vahey. There was much evidence to prove what had happened, which was not to good for Sacco and Venzetti. Shotgun shells were found at the scene as well as shells found in Venzetti himself, although Venzettis descriptions were unsure the physical evidence was right on. After speaking and talking it over with Sacco, Vanzetti decided not to testify to his own defense. After hours of diliberation from the jury they had come to a clean concesus. Although during there diliberation they were unsure if the shell casings they had found on the crime scene and on Vanzetti were big enough to kill a person. Both Sacco and Vanzetti telling lies about what happened and where they were the time of the crime backfired, they thought it would help but unfortunatley there were witnesses on the scene and one witnesess had recognized him because of the strage passport picture he had presented. It was not good for Sacco and Vanzetti both sentenced for attempted robber a term of 12 to 15 years in prison. There were no excuses, lies or way to get aroud the Sacco and venzetti trial. There crimes were no secret nor was it an easy process very time consuming and tought with all the evidence and speculations. Sacco and Venzetti both got what they deserved no criminal should go unpunished for there wrong doing. I believe no criminal should be defended unless the crime is justified and there is a chance that they could be found not guilty.

Evolution or Religion?

John Scopes a biology teacher during the 1930's had went against the law and had been teaching his students the theory of evolution. Back then teachers were not aloud to teach or speak to there students about evolution, they were only to be taught religion. In todays time its different, now teachers are not at all suppose to preach or teach religion to there students, which i believe is correct, nor do i think evolution should be aloud to be taught or spoke aboutt. Teachers should not have an influence on a students belief, that is the parents job to guide there children to believing whatever they think is right. Religion is deep and can be a touchy subject, it is not appropriate for a teacher to be talking about religion or creation with a student, unless ofcourse you are in a christian or catholic school, that is what they are ment for. Students may take there opinions offensive or may not agree, teaching evolution or religion to students can stir up alot of trouble. I think it is best to keep opinions and beliefs about evolution or religion to yourself during school by not discussing it.

CRIME

In the small group presentations i have learned alot more then what i thought i knew. My group had the duo Bonnie and Clyde. i have heard of them before, knew they were criminals but did not know too much of there background and all the details like crimes they have commited, the time spent in jail or there early childhood. I would have never thought they would or ever be significant to history, but to my surprise our group came up with a great explanation to how they were significant. Bonnie and Clyde never gave up their crime life, life was always on the run and they stuck it out and stuck through it.
