Personal

I doubt anyone in this class is someone I know so i’ll break the ground and point out, I do get social security checks, and they are to compensate for the money my mother was making since she died 9 years ago, and while the money has helped me get into college because my family […]

Best post in my opinion

Of all my posts I made for this first half, I would have to say it would be my most recent post titled, “the moral debate”. I feel as though in comparison to all my other posts, it best relates and applies to its topic given, while pointing out most sides to the subject, it […]

The moral debate

The most difficult decision I’ve found as to whether or not to aid the poor is morally as to whether or not it was in truth, a “good idea”. For example, if I knew the ones I were helping were basically screwed over in taxes, or some program or government related issue or even tragic […]

Opening doors

I noticed a recurring pattern about trades in the past, and it is that many things that have become universally used such as animal transportation like horses, tools, and even some foods, none of which were originally introduced to that area, have been made popular in that area mainly due to either trade, or aid […]

Aid in reverse

I recently discovered an article about how the aid meant for helping poorer countries is flawed and is helping the rich more than the poor. The author states 3 major factors, the first being that poverty is not doping nearly as fast as we would have hoped but are told as such to continue the […]

Madison book population charts.

I find it astonishing as to how quickly the populations of most African areas grew over the last hundred years compared to all the other years of which seemed to bob up and down from high single digits to low double digits. I find it worrysome more primarily in the fact that the population boomed […]

The underdogs

Me and my dad have always noticed something with war efforts that I found ludicrous… but unfortunately  true. When small little wars, the type that barely fill a sidebar, the type of guerilla to guerilla fights, dirty AK’s and landmines, etc, you get the picture. There’s always some kind of support to one side by outside forces […]

The Poor and the balance of care

Came into this a little late. I will admit this now, I have many mottos in life, each with different meaning and application, but my favorite one is one my father taught me that has always proven right in that, “Too much of anything is a bad thing” and it really is true, be it […]

So many problems so little time!

Well, I believe the worst outside of college life has passed, (knock on wood) Now that im done driving everyone everywhere that was in dire straights such as my dad losing his job and not having a car, and most other problems, I can finally get some bloody time to use the computer. I missed a […]

Class style

Well to be honest, I was worried given this is my first ever year at college, and since once I make it through, i’ll be the first of 2 family lines to to do so and see it through, and I was even more worried when I knew I had to take this class online […]
