trench warfare

Trench warfare is a very sad way of fighting. Sad as in, many people were killed this way, and many suffered. Once you were hit in the trench whether it was by a granaide or by bullets or cannons and bombs, if you were not killed instantly you were trapped. Once you were in the trench, there was no way out unless you wanted to be immediately shot at. Many were wounded and suffered for hours, or days until they finally died. It was a very brutal way of war. Soon, inventions of more devastating combat evolved and was created. Therefore making trench warfare impossible because the new advanced weaponry would be able to get to the trenches with ease.

$6 billion spending cut

The $6 billion spending cut on medicaid and food stamps was passed. It was a republican idea that Obama decided to allow and accept. As a republican myself, I am not financially in a high stature. My family is on the lower end of the middle class. But, I feel that this budget cut will be beneficial. The medicaid provides medical services to lower income, and even illegal aliens. To me, that is not right. I understand that America tries to provide many beneficial services to illegal aliens and those in poverty, but it should be limited. If the economy is down, like it is, then we should be helping those LEGAL in our country who are struggling. I feel that the Illegal aliens should be one of our last topics of concern, and that the legal American's should be first priority. That is why I agree with this bill that has passed in order to save money for things needed to bring the American economy back up.

non-violent acts

The idea of non-violence in my opinion is a very unrealistic approach. I mean, don't get me wrong, I believe in the non-violent protests are very realistic. In those cases and situations it would not get the point across as effectively to act in a destructive and violent manner. But, for the idea of "peace" as much as I pray and wish for it, I do not see that happening as a result from non-violent acts. In order to gain respect in certain countries where fighting is all they have ever known, is to act violently. I wish it didn't to be that way but it is. Some countries will laugh in your face if you tried to resolve a situation by a from of non-violent communication. Ghaundi attempted to gain humanity in his country. By acting as a leader and non-violent. This worked to an extent. I just feel, unfortunately there must me some form of threats or violence to resolve certain situations within the world.

Barbie and Ken

The topic on Barbie and Ken that was discussed in the book as well as in class was actually quite interesting. I found it very interesting that people would want to change the look of Barbie and Ken, as well as their relationship. Whose to say that Barbie and Ken are not married, or together by common law! Barbie and Ken have been "together" for many years. Another thing I find funny is that people don't like the way her body looks. Well, it is possible for someone to look that way, and it seems to me people are more bitter that they don't look that way than worried about how their children see her. Barbie is every woman's ideal body type, and as children that is not something very noticed. I always played with barbies as a kid, and i never recall worrying about looking like barbie. I was a chubby kid and the way barbie looked to me was beautiful. I was not envious, I was not even really thinking much about it. So, for parents to be bothered by the way Barbie looks is selfish, and bitter.(in my opinion) Barbie and Kens relationship, when I was a kid, seemed like a boyfriend/girlfriend situation. Never was I ever led to believe they had sex, or did anything that wasn't in the norm of society. When i would play with them, I would make them get married and then they would hang out like any other "couple." Barbie and Ken practices healthy imagination, and people need to stop over thinking this situation.
