Killer Crocs

In Australia people want to culled to curb to the saltwater crocodiles because they considered this predator danger for the people. During the past two months, there had been many attacks on humans by this animal. One of this attacks was to a young girl of only twelve years old, who decided to go and swim on the lake with other friends. This groups of kids had no idea that this predator lived under the dark water. When the girl jump to the water, she started to swim and suddenly the crocodile attacks her and killed the young girl. After this attack, the people started to think that this predator is very danger and is better to killed them. There are people that are not agree with this decision because they eat the small and the young crocodiles and if they killed them the population of crocodiles will increase.

The saltwater crocodile is around 4 meters long and they are the largest crocodile on Earth. This predator is characterized of taking care of their territory and they don't aloud any animal to invade their habitat. I am not agree with the decision that people is making because they are living things and they deserve to live. People should be more conscious and they should not go to the rivers or lakes were they know that this animal lives. I am also disagree because the crocodile is only an animal and he defend what its of their own and if he attacks the young girl was because he was only protecting his territory. Second the girl is also guilty because she shouldn't swim in a lake where she knows that many animals lived under the water. This news is very sad because all living thing deserved to lived. The only solution to this problem is to prohibit the entrance of people into the rivers and make a laws that state that people must be 5 kilometers away of the rivers where is probably the existence of this crocodile.

Economic Hit Men

       The book Economic Hit Men is written by John Perkins in 2004. This book talks about his life and how he started to work for a company that convince poor countries to  make large loan to the World Bank, USAID and more. In this book Perkins write about some global and regional consequence such as the terrorism. 

       Terrorism is one of the mayor consequences in the world. Terrorism occur when the citizens are not agree with the decisions of the government or when they are not feeling comfort about something. One of the example of terrorism presented in the book was the murder of the Ecuador`s president. Perkins describe this issue and also the plan that people had to kill Chavez but they couldn't. This book is very interesting because we can see a lot of global consequence and how they change the world. Terrorism change the world because now there is more violence and more conflicts between countries. After reading this book our way of thinking change and we become more conscious of what is going on in the world.

Power Privilege

 

       Some people are considered more than others because of their skin color, lenguaje, religion and more. All this aspects made the power of privilege. What is power of privilege? In my opinión, power of privilege are the person that has control over the people or the people in the high social class.

 

Racism and Segregation are example of people that has not the power of privilege because they are considered inferior. Power of privilege exist in every part of the world, specially in the government. Will power of privilege end? In my opinión is not easy to end this power because from long time ago people try to gain equality but it has not been possible. Hopefully in the future all the people will be see and treat equal.

 Race

       Race is a form to organized a large group of people according to physical differences, language and religion. Many people had different questions about race such as: Where did race come from?, Is race real or is just in our head? or How many races you think there are?

       Based on the wed site, The Power of an Illusion, race is not real, it is only a modern idea that gives people opportunities and resources. Over the time society had seen the black people as the lower race and the whites as the power race. As the web site explain, race does not exist but racism is real. Sometimes people can confused race and racism because is a way to divide and create difference between people of different aspects.

       In conclusion, race is not real. Race is only a word that exits in our head and it makes people see others different. All People are equal, it does not matter their skin color, language or religion they belong to, we all still equal. In my opinion race is only a word to express that people looks physically different to other.  Ancient society did not divide people in any group, all the members of the society were equal.

       The defense Wall in Palestine is the separation between Israel and Palestine. The construction of the wall begin in 2002 by Israel. Their main objective is to protect Israel from terrorist attacks. The Wall is 10 meter high and anyone can´t past through the Wall. Israel does not want to have any contact with palestinian people. The Wall becomes the new border between Palestina and Israel. This Wall had bring many problems because people are separeted from their land and they need to take other road in order to get to school.

 

       Israel think they are doing what is best for their citizens but they are wrong because many families are been separated and people need to take other roads because the ones that they usually take are closed because of the Wall. The building of the Wall has taken many years because it is building by stages. This is very sad because many people are away from their homeland.
