Ideology about are people naturally and mainly good or evil?

I believe that people are essentially good. That is why people have a conscience. If people were evil then their conscience would not bother them so much when they act in any way that may hurt others. Most people are greedy and selfish and it is the level of greed or selfishness that determines the level of evil that a person is willing to go to so as to achieve what the person desires. From early childhood, children are instructed to be good. From this basis, the conscience forms and becomes a guide in later life. People who have not developed a strong conscience also benefit from offers of reward and punishment from peers, employers police or religious leaders. People with selfish tendencies can choose to be bad ignoring their consciences and even the consequences that they know could await them.

Historical Short story (How the first tank was designed)


On July 28 1914 Walter Gordon Wilson joined the British navy in the royal naval armored car division and William Tritton joined the British army and was asked to design and build tractors that could pull the very heavy howitzers around battle fields. Later in the war Walter and William meet up to create a armored tractor because all the rivers in them were being shoot out of them and they need more protection so they designed a armored tractor that later became the first tank in World War 1. In 1919 they were credited by the Royal Commission of Awards to Inventors as the inventors on the tank. William Tritton was knighted. They were then best friends for twenty-seven years when Sir William Tritton dies in Lincoln eleven years after Sir William Trittons death Walter Gordon Wilson dies.

Career Speaker 3

Melissa Durell's job as a journalist sounded great for a person that likes a fast passed job and like to be under pressure to do everything good and quickly at the same time, those are things that I do not want because I am not very good when I am pressured. Here job as a politician sounds more like something I would like in a job because you get a opinion about everything.

Final Reflection Assignment


1.  Some of the common themes I have noticed well working on this assignment in class are that computers don’t always tell the truth when you do online quiz’s.
2. From what I have learned about myself the last couple of days I would like to be a office worker, nurse, kindergarten teacher that’s what the computer program said. I actually want to be a contractor, photographer, or a mechanic I want to be anyone of these because I like hands on work more than sitting at a desk all day tipping on a computer and I also love building decks and fences and also I love cars.

Tedxyouth Waterloo

Tedxyouth Waterloo was amazing there was some very good speakers like Caustan De Riggs and Richard Mclean. Caustan De Riggs is a comedian and business man and also use to rap a little and was very good at speaking in front of hundreds of people. Richard Mclean had a amazing life story about him  going from foster home to foster home and then ended up on the streets homeless and know work for the mental health field and with people that are homeless. There was a lack of things to do that were interactive with the crowd.

Career Post 1

Allison Fleming has a interesting career if you like to be on social media sites and like using the internet and advertising for company's. That's something I don't like doing that's why this career in social media would not be a career for me.

Late Marks

I believe the way the school board has it at the moment is a good way that you get 5% taken of but after a week its a zero. That is a good way in my mind because if you don't take any marks off after its late everyone will just hand it in late. But if after a day late is kind of strict but if you go out into the world you can't hand stuff in late because it could be really important so maybe it should be 10% a day and after three days you get a zero, that would make most kids hand there stuff in on time because if you don't you would be very close to failing. That is why I believe it should be 10% a day and then after tree days a zero.

Atticus "To Kill a Mockingbird"



Atticus is Scout (Jean) and Jems (Jeremy) father and is one of the most prominent citizens in Maycomb during the great depression  Atticus is relatively well off in a time of widespread poverty. Because of his penetrating intelligence, calm wisdom, and exemplary behavior, Atticus is respected by everyone, including the very poor. A person whom everyone in Maycomb turns to in a time of doubt and trouble. 

First of all Atticus is looked up to by everyone in Maycomb especially in times if need and trouble when they come to him to help them solve there problems because he is very intelligent because he went to school to become a lawyer. Atticus is also strongly against racism. He is also the only person that will stand up for Tom Robinson a black man charged for raping a white women, witch gets every white person angry at them because he is standing up and helping a black man. "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." This is a quote that Atticus said to Scout in chapter three when he said this I believe he was meaning that you can't tell how someone feels until you get to know them and see things the way they see things.

Apple or Android?



There is a question that lots of people ask; Apple or Android? There is no correct answer to this question it just depends on what you are getting it for, if you only have a smaller budget or you what something that does everything or just specialized for a few things, and the operating system.
Firstly Android is a lot cheaper than Apple if you only have a small budget to get a good quality device. Secondly Android can do anything like you can use it for gaming, editing videos/pictures, or just surfing the web were Apple is built for editing videos/pictures and surfing the web so if that's what you are getting it for go Apple if its for gaming get a Android. Thirdly Androids operating software (jelly bean) is good and is much more flexible were Apples operating system ( IOS 6) is more limited and cant do as much as Android. Finally Android devices are allot tougher than Apple devices, most Android devices can be dropped and it really does'int do anything but if you drop a Apple device from the same height the glass back plat will normally crack if you don't buy a good case. In conclusion it really just depends on what your buying the device for I would personally get a Apple product because that's what I prefer.

Logan LaPlante's TEDxTalk

I think that the Future Forum Project is similar to what this 13 year old kid is talking about. What I have learned from this course so far is like what he was talking about in this video, happiness and healthy. The way things are done in this course are very flexible and give students a choice of how they want to do things. Unlike normal programs at schools that he is criticized, the Future Forum Project is more open to students and what they want to write about. But as I say that the way Logan talks about schooling would be good I think that the way school boards are teaching at the moment is a good way to especially the Future Forum Project. The other bonuses of the way schooling is now is that everyone can do it if we did schooling the way that Logan talks about some people wouldn't be able to do it because of financial problems and wouldn't be as accessible for everyone. That is why I believe the way we are being taught is the correct way.
