OCTOMUM VS ONE-child POLICY..

I placed my post-it note closer towards china one-child policy because I think that at one point if a person has to many babies and not enough money to support them then as help to the mother, the goverment should step in and give the mother advice and education. But I do not agree that there are punishments like fining and job loss if you have more than one baby. I think families should be able to decide how many babies they want but not too many.

China's One-Child policy, Benifets and Disadvantages.

For Homework last night we had to read an article about china's one child per family policy. The article talked about why the policy is needed and how the chinese feel about it, as well as all the cultural side effects to this policy. The biggest thing in the article was how the chinese culture favours sons and so lots of chinese people are doing legal and ilegal things to try and have their first and only child a boy. A side effect of that is that all of the single children, usually boys, are getting spoilt and overweight. People predict that by the year 2020 there will be 30 million men without a lady. If you think "why don't they just stop the policy" then the argument would be that then the chinese people might have another baby boom, which is why they put the policy there in the first place. What we had to do in class today was discuss this policy.

SONNET 7 -WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE


After doing the music performance my group did today and listening to my groups thoughts on what the sonnet 7 meant we all ended up thinking it was the sun after a lot of looking and reading very carefully. When we first read the sonnet 7 yesterday I had thought that it was about some sort of king praying or something but after talking to Fabian about it after school he thought it was the sun and I could look at the poem more clearly. Now I think that the sonnet is about the sun's journey through the skies.

Ancient and Modern places, Difference?


Todays lesson was about our groups looking at a google earth movie. The movie showed Mesopatamia on a map and a map of now places. The objective was to write down "see, think, wonder" observation sheet about what we saw, thought and wondered about the video.
