Haiti, Look to History

Haiti is and always has been a place where people have been mistreated feared and in the end persecuted.  It started out as a hopeful country that would be filled with money and wealth from cane sugar, but it soon became a place of pain and despair.   It is said that every time they have gotten a positive step forward to moving away from this tragic lifestyle.  They have been put back yet again.  This happened with their freedom of being slaves and in fear of the Haitians we blocked trade with them that left them alone and without money again.  As it was stated later in the text we cannot provide just money as aid, they need to have a restructured system that does not feed of the people.  Many of the bad that has happened in the country could have been prevented, but unfortunately it was not and many have suffered from it and needlessly died as well. 

            After the Haitian people got their freedom, we were so scared of retaliation from them coming over that we blocked trade with them in order to still maintain a certain level of control over them, and keep them down.  We were in such fear of what we had done to them from before that instead of making it better we decided to force them down again.  Their main source of income was cane since they had destroyed much of the land in order to put in plantations.  They had no other means of support or ways to gain it they had put everything they had or could use into sugar and without being able to sell it to us they slowly got worse and worse.  We are trying new ways of resolving this though as we have now passed a trade embargo bill in 2008 so we can not only help them but start rebuilding.  There have also been other ways of helping them being presented.  People want to teach sustainability to them so they don’t just use everything they come in contact with.  Show them what works and how to keep it around for future generations so they do not suffer the same hardships as their elders.

Pitbulls and BSL(Breed Specific Legislation)

I have always been a dog lover and a few years ago came by a Pitbull whos real name is Matix but is more commonly reffered to as “pain in the ass”.  he is a stuborn trash loving dog…with a heart and personality that makes anybody smile.  Ever since I have fell in love with one of the most loyal dogs I have ever seen I became aware of Breed specific legislation where this type of breed is put down because of its so called vicious nature.  This suprised me because every pitbull I have ever encountered has been so loving and more afraid of a chihuaha than itself.  I am always involved in trying to help this cause weather it be word of mouth or to help out at an animal shelter.  I think it would be a good topic because it has been creeping farther and farther north on the front range.

Thinking about Multimodality

It is true that in this world, we need to as people become increasingly aware of the technology around us and how to use it.  I has become increasingly neccessary as well in most of the jobs that we will be occupying.  You have to be experienced in reading and skilled as well with texts.  Every profession is involved in this aspect wether it be gaming  or entertainment industry whatever it is it is crucial to be able to function within the new technology and beable to understand and adapt to it.  People need to be able to grow and change to refect literacy practices in new digital communication environments.  Everything changes and we need to learn how to adapt and change to fit within other peoples needs and literacy practices.  In this day and age we have come to realize that many people not only spend a lot of time on still images animations and videos, but they enjoy it.  Many things these days involve these even if it is not for a job, but for leisure such as you tube or any of these other websites.  It has become a very frequent part of our lives.  Everywhere you look these days it is a constant reminder how ontop of everything you have to be, and how much you have to be aware and caught up.

Jobs Should Go to Americans, Not Immigrants

As the topic has always been in a heated discussion, but the reality of it is they do take a lot of jobs that some Americans dont want to do because they can get more from unemployement.  It is not as black and white as it is described in the title, but has more depth and controversy in areas that are not discussed.  The point of that we export jobs is no different and is a cause of some of our problems.
