There are 9 countries that considered as east Africa. I got the one of the big news from Tanzania. This last updated at 18:12 GMT, Thursday, 2 October, 2008. The title of Article called “Albinos in Burundi flee killing”- On Thursday in Ruyigi, Burundi, four of Albinos moved to a provincial centre under police’s protecting. After this, Authorities had arrested six people who related to murder of an albino girl in August. The Assaulter, who in connection of this crime killed 26 Tanzanians in less than a year, A BBC correspondent's investigation there revealed that witchdoctors were behind the killings. They sought Albinos their body part to make potions what they emphasized that could make people rich.

Violence leads to more violence

"Violence leads to more violence" I think that this quote is realistic because for example in the play 'Julius Caesar', conspiracy include Brutus and Cassius made a plot and killed Caesar cruelly which was a violence. And this violence leads to more violence. Because after the Caesar's death Antony, Octavius and many citizens took revenge for Caesar's death. Which was making a civil war again. This war finally end by killing the Brutus and Cassius, give them huge pain. Which was more violence. Killing of Caesar leads to Civil war and killing more people such as conspiracy and poor innocent people who don't deal with anything about killing the Caesar. This "Violence leads to more violence" situation can appear around you easily for example if you hit somebody without any reasons or purpose (which is violence that cause more violence) that person might get really mad to you, and gets satisfied by hitting you back. Which more violence.

Brutus’ Dilemma

If I am Brutus during this period, I would choose and work for Rome instead of my royalty to friend Caesar. Because basically royalty to Caesar is privacy problem between Brutus and Caesar but work for Rome is very big issue and it could effect various number of people in Italy. Also I think all the appearance of supernatural omens of bad fortune happen because of the Caesar. Because Caesar wanted to be a king instead of predated the republic. On act 2 scene 2 pg. 59 Brutus says 'Alas, good Cassius, do not think of him! If he love Caesar, all that he can do is to himself-take thought, and die for Caesar. And that were much he should;for he is given to sports, to wildness, and much company" on this quote Brutus is talking about that even Mark Antony doesn't like caesar. This means that Brutus already hate Caesar and determine to work for Rome

Imperialism and Leadership

What are the qualities of a good leader? Who are the student leaders in Grade 8? How do they demonstrate the qualities of a good leader?

Basically a good leader has strong power than others and they could control us. But they also be able to manage what they are doing. For example if you are a leader or king and if one of your followers or people made problem you might have to solve the problem instead of them as a leader or king.
Nesbiett was kind of leader. When I did the Industrial Revolution project with her, she almost lead me because I couldn't handle the project by my own.
They solve the main problem in front of us as a hero. And show us what the leader does.

Western Powers Rule Southeast Asia, and Imperialism

Imperialism began to spread whole Europe during the Industrial Revolution. Imperialism had three primary motivations. They were for gold, glory and gods. Imperialism happened because of the Industrial Revolution and from western countries, such as England and France looked for more lands and labor. So they choose four big different places. They were southeast Asia, India, Two sides of Africa. Even they are different places, European all looked for these four places because they had lot of natural resources that will support the making the products, such as sugar, coffee, cocoa, rubber and fruit. Then it was easy for them to treat the workers because they were lot cheaper, eat less and work hard. Not only they made products, they also spread their culture like how do they live and it cause the changes of better schooling in Southeast Asia (which was actually good effect). Also plantation and farming on each four places cause growing of population. Sometimes, wars appeared in certain times and places because ideas from Western and Southeast Asia were different and made violence. As you might noticed, All these four places got common or simular motivations, methods, and changes during the Imperialism.

End of Quarter 1 Feedback

At the beginning of the first quarter, I made a goal that I will read many books. But I didn't took many AR quizzes. Maybe I was bit greedy, I choose long hard book to read. And it took long times to finish them also it took long times to understand the story even dough I had dictionary with me when I read book. Also for the socratic seminar, I didn't do very good job on piggy bank, so next time I will get more good informations that will support my opinions and prepare for the socratic seminar.
