1. I don't agree that life in Vietnam would be perfect if everyone were totally equal. I disagree because some people have better ability in some point and if they were treated the same as the people that have a lower ability. People may not agree to the situation and so they rise up and take over the government.

2. My laws for a country that is equal would be:
-Share when you see other don't have one.
-Help people who has a lower ability.
-Wear the same clothes as other.
-Live the same kind of house as other.
-Drive the same car or transportation as other.

3. I would call out people who have a better ability in works, education, etc. So that the smart people can help the people that is mentally, physically or socially to catch up with other.

4. I can see that people will get mad because they get treated the same as other people. The best way to solve the problem is to let the smart peole stay the same and teach the lower people to catch up. If that work, then both side will get the benifit of it.

5. I believe that some people would like to live in a equality life and some don't. The reason for that is because some people that are poor would like to live the same as the rich one and the rich wouldn't want to share the money with the poor one.

6. -The first evidence that i want to use is Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao believe that communism would be the best for China. And communism mean all the people is equal. In the story, the government was not equal, the government was higher than lot of other people. Chairman Mao is the same, he ruled the government by telling the people what to do.
- My second evidence would be North Korea. The similarities in the story and north korea is that they all want the people to be the same. The H-G Men use all kind of handicap to keep the people the same. And in north korea, the government set all the price in order to keep all store the same.

Sorry. i posted on mr. patrick blog so that is why this post is so late

1. How does advertising influence consumption?
- Advertising are visual images which lead people to do something. The goal of any advertisement is to have your product or service consumed, therefore advertising is created for the attraction purpose.
2. Do you think citizens are sufficiently informed about the sustainability of our consumption habits? If not, how can we become more informed about sustainability issues?
- No, i don't think so. When the advertiser showe us the products, they should inform us more about the products like the negative thins. And we could inform sustainability issues by showing poster or talk about on the TV or the newsletter.

3. Do you think these advertising techniques influence what you and your friends purchase?
- Of course, their purpose is to convince us to buy the products. And they would use lots of different ideas to show the products in the advertising. We want the products so we need to spend the money to buy it.

Immigration Assessment

Immigration Assessment

            One of my friend’s father couldn’t find a job in Vietnam. He had no job and he couldn’t raise his family here. He was forced to relocate to a new region, which was China, to find a job that has a high salary. They moved for push factors because they had a very low amount of money to live on so they had to immigrate to anther place to live. They had an external migration, because they exit Vietnam. China is not their homeland; they had to immigrate to another country.

           

            There were some positive and negative effects when they immigrated. The negative effects were that they don’t want to live in China; instead they were forced to move. They were possibly miserable in the first few weeks. Chinese is not their first language; therefore they had to learn a very difficult language. When my friend immigrated, he benefited better education. Another bad effect was that they didn’t have many friends because they had to learn Chinese to interact with different people. But the positive effects were that they could learn a new culture, their family can be half Vietnamese and half Chinese. They also could learn a new tradition, language and also religion.

Pepsilania

My country is Pepsilania, there are 2 region in pepsilania. Fire and Ice land, they are not the same. Fire land people like to do exercise, the temperature is up to 43 degree. There are a huge problem is people don’t want to built there house against the volcanoes. So by time, the lands turn into a big desert. So most of the fire land is cover in desert, scientist believe that the desert will expand and soon there will be no more live on the planet. Ice land people don’t do much because it to cold outside. There are not much animal in ice land. The ice land is up to -20 degree, so the animal can’t stand the cold. People in both lands can easily have pepsi water because they are surrounded by the Pepsi Ocean. So people live near the ocean. There are wars going on in the Fire Land, so the people were forced to move into the Ice Land. People start to live a new life in the ice land and they are waiting for the war to be over.

Mother Nature

1. The climate of the earth is changing
2. -Reluctant: When someone doesn't want to do something for another person.
    - Worsen: make something worse
    - Torrential rain: A big and hard rain
    - Variation: A change
3. Weather can happen anytime, anywhere like rain but climate only happen about 2 or 3 years and it happen in different region. Weather can change but climate isn't so changeable. 

4.

• Flooding in U.S.A

• Monsoon rains in Pakinstan

5. I've never experience the extreme weather in my life.
6. Perception: To understand something.
7. I think that climate is a part of the global climate change. Because of climate is changing, it created a global warming
