why do people really change?

Do people only change after something bad happens? NO some people better themselves after something bad occurs in their lives . People can change without something bad happen to them. Their are some people who do change after something bad happens and that can sometimes help them be more aware. Like say if a person house gets broken into before they may have not really thought about keeping there house secure but after they take being safe more seriously. People are different and I can only speak on my behalf and I feel like some people do change and some don't change after something bad happens.

ass. 6 When should the U.S. stay out of foreign affairs

I'm torn in the matter whether or not the U.S. should or should not get into other countries affairs.I'm going to show a case where it has help the U.S. and where it has hurt them. A case where the United States has help themselves with getting into another countries affairs , is with Israel the U.S has to fight some of there battles to keep a good relationship. They need to keep some foreign aid so they can have someone to watch there backs as well. A case where it has hurt the U.S. I feel like the 2 wars we are fighting now there not for sure reason why we involved in these wars. At first we were told it was other something else then we find out that has nothing to do with it all at. These wars has hurt us in many different ways that we can never get back. Like the people who lost there lives fighting these wars and the people who there way of living because of this. To me there is sometimes where we should stay out of countries affairs and when we should get involved.

Is it ok to get involved on other people's business?

Have you ever jumped into someone else's business? If so, why? Yes I have , The reason why I jump into someone else's business is I felt like I need it to help a friend with his problem. My friend was having trouble with something and he was allowing it to bring him down. Me being a good friend help him with find a way not to get to him and even get passed it.



Under what conditions/situations is it ok or even necessary for you to get involved in someone else's business? If they or it is going to hurt people . It necessary when things get out of control or may be something that you should get involved in.



When should people mind their own business? People should mind their own business when it doesn't involved them . They should stay out people business when there is no harm being done to them. When it's something that the person need to fix or if you can't the person then there is no reason for you to get in someone's business.

My poem as Mcpherson woods and Freedman school

Photo 2
Mcpherson woods

The smell of gun powered
the dead bodies on the
ground the sound of
people yelling is all
around

If they had any housesense
they wouldn't send these people
out here seeing the elephant to fight

They made these woods into
a battle ground this is are
woods and they should give
it back clean just like it was
before they came

They don't care about the way
we live they don't care about
each other they came out here
yelling and shooting at each other

These people are crazy I wish
they would go away these woods
was queit and smelled great before
they came.

now it's just a bloodie death zone.

Mcpherson woods

Freedman's man school

As my doors open to start

a new day I see new faces

right away to me I never

seen such colorful faces

These people look different

talk different and act different

If only the paper collar man

would get to know these people

they will find that they are smart

harding working and fun to be around

They learn how to spell thier names

and mines I'm starting to see these

people as my family the days they

don't come i miss them it's dark and cold

when there not here.

with this change I learned alot

I learned to love and care about

people who don't look like me.

At frist I didn't know what to expect

but getting to know them I don't regret

allowing these children to become there best .

What is it really all about?

Are people actions driven by money? Yes, some people actions are driven by money many only see $ signs and do not think about the reality of their actions. People often let their actions get the best of them so I'm pretty sure you but some money in mix people would act a little crazy.

Does money lead to happiness? I would say yes and no....... People who grew up with money it's just something they are used to having and it really like not a big deal and it really doesn't make them happy, but the things they buy with it would make them more happy then the actual money itself. People who didn't grow up with money would say money does lead to happiness. Until something else they want comes along that money can't buy.

Are the people that have money any better than those that don't? No ....... but some people think that they are better then others because of their money.

How do the wealthy get their money? Was it their work or others work that makes them rich? Some people get their money past down to them and the others work for it I guess it's called new money and old money.

Is it the responsibility of those that have money to share with others? No .... but they could get a tax write off lol but for real people who had made it could back and help the people who help them become the person they are now. They are not required to share their money with others but they could give money to places that help people better themselves or to their favorite school or charity.

Top 10 Most Painful Topics

1. 1811 Native Americans defeated in Battle of Tippecanoe in Indian Territory. This makes top ten because to me the Native Americans were the one who had this land before anyone else. This to me is painful for Native Americans to lose something they had.
2. 1830 Indian Removal Act. This made top ten once again because this also made the Indian leave the land they have own and knew all there life. This was painful because they felt like people just came over to the land and started to take over.
3. 1838 Cherokee “Trail of Tears”. This made top ten because this when the European people really started to take all of the land and made the Native people run for their lives. This was painful to Native people because during the Trail many of them lose their lives, land and family. The only way they could stay is if they gave up all their values
