Week 15

This week I am going to talk about a very disrubing event I gheard about in the event. I think by now every one was heard about the oil spill which is happening. If these oil company can not have better planns to react when there is spills they have no business drilling in the oceans. after the last spill what at least twenty years ago and they still have not improved there responce plans. this one they talking about being a month before they even get the equitment in place to stop the leak in the mean time tousands of gallons of oil is leaking in to the ocean every day. Some one needs to stop these company's from drilling in the ocean reguardless what it does to the price of gas.

week 13

During my research visites to my site one thing that brothered me that I noticed is the fact that on the newer exhabits at the zoo that are not is popular do not tell an thing about the species other than the name. I hope this does not contiue it is ahame that some of the most active and fun to watch animals no one knows anthing about. Maybe alot of the people do not care about knowing anything about them, but there are still people that wish they had the same information as the older exhabits due. I beleve this is an ashame especial since the one purpose of the zoo is to educate. I wonder if other zoo's are doing the same thing. seem to me they are moving away from education people as much as they use to do in the past.

week 11

It amazes me how quickly someone will allow the negatives actions of someelse to interfer with the goals in our lives. I have see people break up because some one cheats on them an they are so torn up about it they can barely function that has happened to a friend of mine this week. To me the person was below my stardards to begain with. A person that cheats on someone is just a worthless human being any way, so why allow them to have power over you. You know that morally and in every other way that you are a much better person than they are any way so why wast you time worry about them. It is there lost not yours they just did you a favor at showing you how worthless they really are.

Week Ten blog

This week I heard a very interesting news story on the radio. An student in a state down south wanted to take a same sex date to the prom. Which was aganist the schools policy. When the girl tried to sue the school they just canceled the whole prom for everyone instead of giving into something they believed to be wrong. I think it is about time for schools to start doing what is morally right an not just what some in the society way want. If motre schools would keep to the moral values that this country was founded on, we would have less problems then we do sinve are values would be higher. Schools are one of the major places that are children learn moral val;ues, so they should not allow things to happen in schools functions that are morally wrong.

blog for week eight

Doing my research for my paper this week made me wonder why one of the most rarest of the animals in the worold is not found in most zoo in the United states. THe aimals is the lone Wolf of Africa their are only five hunred of them left. I wonder if the reason is that people still have such a dislike for wolf still as they did in the past. I know in some place in this country they have been hunted until they were completly wiped out. I wonder that because of past attitube that the reason that a lot of zoo's do not display them is a political reason. I hope that in the near future that their attitutes change before this wonderful creature is gone.

Week seven blog

This wek I have very intresting topic to talk about. Today one of my instructors annouced in my class that the reason that he has been not getting are workwork assignments an test back was, because he has been ocupied with not getting tenure. He told us he was not been motivated to get them graded an that his first concern was to find an other job an that his classes were his second conern. What right does an instructor have to bring his personal problem to the class. Reguardless if he is going to be there next year he still has a job to do. An to me it seem that he does not care about teaching what he is being payed to do. This was A real shock to class since you would figure some one holding an phd would have better ethical standards than that. You would think that instructors at the university level would be more concered about the jobs they were doing than that.

Week Six Blog

One of the papers that I proofread last week made me think about how sad it is that people think it is ok to abuse animals. You hear all the time about people getting charged for dog fighting or similar type abuse cases. The reason that i think there are so many repeat offenders is that the punishment is way to light. I believe if we increased the punishment it would stop some of the abuse that takes place. Another major problem with animal abuse is that a lot of city's do not even have animal enforement units. In these citys all the investigation is left up to the hume societies or the local police forces that are all ready under staffed how it is. Which takes longer for the abuse to be stopped especial in big cases, since they are not equipped to handle these cases. An have to get outside help in order to deal with them. These are just a couple of the problems with animal abuse if you would like to learn more go www.aspca.org

I believe that it is a real tragedy that the amount of animals that are endangered ,because of our actions. A lot of the animals that our endangered especially in Africa is due to our greed. The reason that I say this is the animals would not be poached if there was not a market for their hides. If people would not want the products that were made from these animals the hunting would never happen in the first place. If no one buy's these then they would no longer be a need to have them available. This is just one of the things that that man has done to these animals that were put on this earth for us to protect not destroy. If you want to learn more about reasons these animals are endangered go to www.worldwildlife.org

Today on the radio I heard a news story that concerns me it was a new policy that the Bellieve police department has started. They started to put up sign in peoples yards that they have arrested for drug charges. On these signs it states this is a drug house. I agree they need to do something about drug problem in our cities, but who gave the police the right to pass judgment before a trail even takes place. It is one thing to do something like this once a person was been convicted in a court of law for the crime., but to do something like this to some one that was just be arrested an not been convicted of anything yet is just not right. What concerns me is where does practices like this stop. Does it allow the police to put a sign in anyones yard that they believe is guilty of anything even if they have no proof.

This week I am going to talk about a very bad policy to S.I.U.E has for its math classes. They require that In the college algebra classes to take an retention exam that is worth ten percent of your grade an you must pass it with a seventy percent. during the first four week if you pass it you get hundred percent then it goes down from their until the seventh week an you get a zero on it if your do not pass it with a 70. the reason I believe it be an unfair policy first of all is I all ready passed those classes with an c. Second part is that you are allowed to takes as many times as you want ,but you are not allowed to see what problems that you got wrong. Which makes it hard very to know what to study for if you do not know what problem you got wrong. You are also required to keep up with all your other test in the class that is going on at the same time. Since they will not tell you which problem you got wrong I believe it is a way for them to fail an student that is barely passing an subject that is hard for them. An for the school to make more money, because then the student has to take the class over again. It makes it very hard for us that work full time an go to school full time to try to study for two math test at the same time an keep up with the rest of our classes.

This week I watched the president state of the Union adress he had some pretty good ideas that if they become reality that would help us. The one thing that he said that stood out for me was when he was talking about creating clean safe nuclear power plants. The reason that this stood out to me is the fact that you can not have a clean nuclear power plant . The whole process produces waste that are quite toxic to every thing around it. It may not produce the emmissions like other power plants do, but the by product is a lot wose. The long term effects of these power plants would be much morse on the enivorment. When will the human race stop destory every thing around them. and realize that at some point the earth will not be able to fix the promblems that we have caused. One of these days a our careless behavior is going to kill us all.
