World Peace?

-
Starting today, me, two partners, and a group leader (or as we called them a "delegate") worked to solve world issues in both a under-developed nation and a developed nation. We decided it was only fair to choose Japan as a country that is difficult and undergoing a crisis in which not many are aware of, their populations age! Secondly, as our under-developed nation, I brought up the topic of piracy along the Somalian coast (so Somalia) and what made it worked out even better is that David (in my group) had a great knowledge regarding this civil-war infested country. We decided that we would segregate our group based on the country in which they would work to make a better place; so me and David for Somalia, Christo and Lily for Japan.

To Lily and Christo's credit, they were now proud emperors, while me and David were trying to decide which side of the civil-war we were going to side with. One thing is for sure though, we had to be on the same side, though finding the sides was even a struggle. While we still haven't gotten to a point in which we know our sides, I think we're both secretly thinking about just forming our own party. This of course may temporarily stir up some more conflict, but in Somalia's case, a temporary flair in conflicts may benefit them in the long run if we're to improve their economy especially in terms of piracy along their coastline. 

That will do it for my November 7th Blog Post, Till next time!

As discussed yesterday, we were instructed to write an essay question which would be used on the upcoming test. As a matter of fact, we were informed that our test (or at least part of it) is going to be during our class time this Thursday. Meaning we have a fair amount of time to study still; though, we expect to receive more information regarding the format of the test soon. My essay question and explanation is as follows: As we discussed in class, Socrates was a man of austere philosophy and even gave his life for his beliefs. With that said, write a five-paragraph essay explaining the life Socrates, how, and why he was put to death. Starting with your first paragraph, describe the Socratic Method and some possible ways we see it reflected in our world today. For your second paragraph, describe Socrates' nature (personality) based upon how he thought, acted, taught others. And In your third paragraph, give a general overview of Socrates' crimes and how they contradict

In light of yesterday's assignment, we were instructed today to reflect on our accountability throughout these times of social distancing. This includes: actively participating in social distancing, cleaning ourselves, and giving our best efforts to remain home. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that everyone takes these guidelines too seriously. I've seen plenty of people online going about their normal hangouts with large groups of friends, rather than distancing themselves to slow the spread. Weeks ago, we were struggling to perform tests. Now it seems that the FDA approval time has been expedited for the purpose of introducing faster COVID-19 testing kits as well as possible vaccines. There seems to be a lot of de-regulation occurring to allow businesses to survive in such a harsh time. Simply put, if no-ones out there spending money, the economy will not grow (or will have very little growth). As a student, I find myself more stressed out than usual since I'm locked

Today, rather than a deep analysis of a new subject, we were instead instructed to find two images of classical Greece Architecture. A subject which I truly enjoy learning about. Those images are posted directly below:  First Image: The Parthenon, Acropolis of Athens Likely one of the most recognizable structures in Greece would be the massive structure located on the hill of Acropolis, The Parthenon. This structure was likely created over an eleven-year span (447 BC - 438 BC) and was dedicated to the goddess Athena. The structure, incredibly after over 2,000 years still remains intact; though somewhat damaged from the years of exposure it's been put through. It is also important to realize that this structure stood as a symbol for the religions which the Greeks practiced since it represented one of their goddesses'. Through the wars, fires, looters, weather, and use it has undergone, it is a true culmination of the Greek's strong engineering ability that the
