Do Everyday People Think About the Environment?

November 15th, 2006 by kdanielle

  Lately in school we have been learning about the environment, and ever since we have started learning about it I will be walking around in my house watching TV, turning off the lights, and even using water.  When I do these things I always think about people that dont have this and I bet that they need it badly, for example when I am throwing away food or pouring water down the drain I am always thinking is it bad that I am doing this? Should I do something to help the people that need the things that I waist? 

  So when things as simple as throwing your food away or pouring water down the drain do you always think about the people that need or want those things? Should we be doing other things than throwing these things to waist?

The answer to all these things are yes.  We should be  doing other things than throwing these things to waist, we should be helping the people that dont have these things, we should be thinking about the people that dont have things that we do, and yes it is bad to throw things to waist so easily.  So the next time that you do something so simplae as to pouring water down the drain or throwing away the food that you dont eat at supper time, I suggest that you think twice.

Ideas That Are Your Own

November 13th, 2006 by kdanielle

  Everyone has a differnet opinon, and you make it your own.  For instance if you are wiht a bunch of your friends and you are talking about…guys and one of your frineds likes one guy that you dont like, and you say something about him like you dont like him or one of his habits.  When you say these things people think nothing of having an idea nad making it your own.  So the next time you have your own opinion or idea make sure that you make it your own and not take somelses, because if you have an opinion make sure that you let it out as nicley as possible.

Friendship: What is a Great Friend?

November 13th, 2006 by kdanielle

  I have realized from past friendships what a good friend is and I would like to share it with all of the readers of my blog.

  A good friend is someone that you can trust, talk to, be able to spend more than ten minutes with, someone that doesnt talk about you, someone that you can tell all of your secrets to, and someone that will never turn their back on you.

  Well all of these things are hard to do at the same time and thats why we sometimes make mistakes and do the wrong things, and in the end someone apologizes even if they didnt do anything wrong.  But people can be stubborn and just go and tell everyone what had happend between you and your friend, I personally think that, that is wrong because it doenst solve anything to go and tell other people.  It doesnt make you a better person, it doesnt make you seem better to other people around you, and last its not the better thing to do.  When you go and do this you need to think of these things and know that you are doing something wrong.  When fights like these happen there isnt really anything you can do but talk to each other but if its that bad of a fight this is what you do.  You need to sit down and talk to each other, dont go and tell everyone what happend even if its the smallest little thing because it doesnt make you any better than the other person, dont call each other names that doesnt prove anything either, and last try your best to work it out you cant just ignore someone for the rest of your life.

All of the information above has happend to me and is happening to me as we speak.  So to all of the people out there who just dont know what to do when it comes to a situation like this just read mypost and you will know exactly what to do, in the mean time hope you work things out! :)

Different Opinions On The Environment

November 12th, 2006 by kdanielle

There are a lot of different opinions to do with the environment. Some people dont care about the environment being destroyed, some people want the environment to be destroyed so that they can build businesses, and other people like me think that it is very wrong to do all of these things. 

  But sometimes people like me cant do anything about all of these things happening to the environment, and we want to do something but cant.  There are many things that you can do but some people just cant afford to do them.  There has beeb many people in the world that have stood up for these reasons but very rarely would is ever happen.  

  Environment.  What do you think of when you hear this word? Do you think of all the homes for innocent animals being destroyed? Do you think of a beautiful place for all animals to be free in? Or do you think of a place that is being destroyed by people like ourselves? I think of all of these, I find that all of these things are important and that they should be important to everyone in and on this planet.

  So if you agree with me please help do something about this, even the smallest things can help the environment around you.

   Environment, what do you think as soon as you hear this word? Beautiful trees and animals living happy lives the green fields and trees.  Well think again forests, rainforests, oceans, and under water homes, are as we speak being destroyed every hour.  This is a true known fact and a lot of people in the world definitely don’t like what is happening and they want to stop this horrible problem but the only way that they can do that is with your help.  You would think that the only way to help other people solve this problem you can just send in money and be done with it, you would think that the money would give them things to get that they need to help stop these people from tearing down ecosystems and to also help the animals right? Well it does help them from doing this but money isn’t the only thing that theses people need to save an ecosystem they need you not your money, they need you to be there and help protest against the government to save this beautiful ecosystem.

Donations to Africa

October 26th, 2006 by kdanielle

There are many different problems in the world like disasters, deaths, murders, and crashes. These things happen all over the world but one of most common places where these things happen is in Africa. Many different things happen in Africa every day, and a lot of people have tried to help Africa by donating money, food, clothing, and toys for small children. And right now there is another donation, which is going to Africa it is called ( RED). The person in charge of it all is Bono of U2, he has convinced companies of all kinds to make red products. Some companies like GAP, and Apple computers, they have managed to make clothing and a red ipod nano. With these products made a lot of many has been coming to these companies and whatever money they make fifteen dollars of each product that is made is donated to Africa. But here is something to think about…are these companies doing it to support Africa, or are they just doing this to get good publicity? So tell me what you think.

This is a picture of some people in a village called Nata.

Feudal Society

October 17th, 2006 by kdanielle

In the middle ages things were very different, they had a whole different lifestyle than us who are in the year 2006.  I always just wonder what life would be like in castles and what I would live like.  If you would like to also find this out I would definitly suggest that you read this blog post. 

Castles:

Castles in the middle ages were about attacks and how to defend attacks.  The people in the middle ages had a lot of different ways to defend there castles a couple of ways that they did was by: they used moats so that their enemies could not get to the castle walls.  Another way to protect their castle was to use arrow holes, they would shoot arrows frim them and then duck behind them, the final way they protected their castle was by a pale of water because they would put the pale on the tower and if it wiggles that means there are sappers under the castle.  So they would go kill the enimies trying to get in the castle before they burnt and killed all of the people. The way that they used to defend these things from happening was to use weapons such as swords, spears and arrows.  so as you can see the castle life isnt very easy there are a lot of things that people have to go through.

So now me and all of you who are reading this know what the castle life was like in the middle ages.

Photography: Taking a Picture

October 5th, 2006 by kdanielle

Taking a Picture:

There are many different reasons why you are taking a picture.  You could be taking a picture fro memories, you could be taking it for and art show, you could just take it for fun, and you could have to take pictures like me in our class as you know we are supposed to take pictures for school.  It is very fun and entertaing when you take pictures because you can do it in so many ways.  So when you do take a picture you want to do a very good job on what you take the picture of and how you take a picture.  You have to be sure that you take it at the right angle, what colours are in the picture, if the lighting is good or bad, what effects you might use on the picture, and if you think that picture ids even good or not.  So as you can see taking a picture has a lot of ups and downs to it but they are still fun to take! :)

Photography: Effects and Taking a Picture that is Good in your Eyes

October 3rd, 2006 by kdanielle

Yesterday morning our teacher had told us to write blog post for marks. He also said that we were going to be writing about photography.  So  am going to write a blog post about if anyone cant ake a good picture or can’t.  

Taking a picture that is good to you:

When you take a picture you have to take pictures that you think are good not what any of your friends think are good.  So that means that you have to always take a picture of something that you think is good in your eyes.  In my opinion I think that a good picture is nature because I think that it is beautiful in so many ways.  So the next time you go and take a picture you should really think about what you are fixing to take a picture of before you go and snap the shot.

Effects:

When you take a bad picture and then try to fix it by putting crazy effects on it to make it better you are only making it worse.  You have to start out wiht a good picture and then if you think that it still needs effects then add them.  But my point is that you have to start out with a good picture first and then try to fix it.  Since we have started photography in my classroom I look around at other people’s pictures with a lot of effects on them and then I wonder is this good in their eyes?

Do you think I’m right?

Do you have another opinion?

Katherine :)
