Mr. Blake's 8th Grade Blog: Cause and Effect Chart

Life in Vietnam would be perfect if everyone were totally equal. Do you agree or disagree? Explain your answer in complete sentences.

I disagree because I don't think it's fair, if I work very to get money .But another people doesn't do anything , but they still have the same money that I got.

You are designing a society in which everyone is equal. What are the laws?

my laws will be: every family can only have 2 or 1 children .
every one can have 1 or 2 car only.
every one can only make same amount of money.

What problems can you foresee that might come in a society with laws that force “equality for all”? How would you handle those problems?

I will make a school to people that can't do most things, or I will make a place for disable people to work.

In this video clip they show you, what have the people done to the bear? the people think that use the bear bile can help them get stronger, so lot of people try to catch bear and take the bear bile to sell for money. So if you was the bear what do you feel? do you will feel the hurt in you, do you want anything in body to be sell? I guess don't want to be like that right so please stop hurt the bear they don't do anything wrong,bear also the same like people they can feel the hurt , they also feel sad, and scare ..... if you was feel the way like me now , so stand up and help the bear and protect them.

Advertising question ??=.=

How does advertising influence consumption?

Advertising is the most important part of consumer's decision. Most of decision of buying things are influenced by advertising.

No they away show the good way of product,usually people find information on the internet and search more detail on the company's website.

sustainable development

an example of sustainable development is fish farm. Village has water but not fish. they will go to buy some fish but they must be babies, and male and female. They must give them fish food and wait for them to grown up . After they grown up they we have baby fish for us.The village can eat some the adult fish and they can sell some fish to another village. If the village careful to not make the fish dead,and don't eat them too much and don't sell them too much, they can have enough food forever.

Immigration and Migration

I Immigrated from Vietnam to U.S, when I was 12 years old.Only my mom me and my two sister went to U.S. My father didn't come with us because he had to work to made money to pay for us to go school,my parents wanted to improve out English to get a better education.Another factor that pulled us to the U.S was the clear air. The air pollution in Vietnam was very bad because of the motor bikes. The traffic in Vietnam are awful and the motor bicycle are dangerous.My mother say"we need to move to another country"

The Positive effect for me to move to U.S is; I am learn more how to speak English, know more culture form U.S and my little sister got better we got here.Negative effect is I stuidied in a new school,it is much harder for me to understand the rules system there and make new friends.

-My move was external because I immigrate form Vietnam to U.S

-Push factor: the air pollution in Vietnam it so bad, the traffic in Vietnam is so awful and there so much motor bicycle in Vietnam

_Pull factor:My English got better , my sister got better and the air pollution in U.s more cleaner than Vietnam.
