Southern Africa is a diverse part of Africa with many minerals. Southern Africa has many different levels and areas such as mountains, deserts, islands, and plateaus. It also has rivers which are unique from any other. They climate ranges from the Namibia desert a part of southern Africa that has less than 2cm of rain a year to the Drakensberg mountains a range of mountains where it is very rainy. Then there is of course many different minerals that help the economy. There is gold, diamond, coal, platinum, copper, uranium, and iron. This is why Southern Africa is such a unique part of the physical world.

Can we trust Julius Lester

Can we trust Julius Lester. He wrote 'To Be A Slave' and can we trust what he says in this book. I believe we can as most of his writing is taken from people who were there at the time. He has most of his facts and his quotes taken from people who are ex-slaves. He has cited all the people he has gotten this information from. He also is directly related to ex-slaves and probably got some information from them to back up the things he was hearing from other people. I believe that because of these reasons that we can trust Julius Lester about what he has wrote in the book 'To Be A Slave'.

News story from Zimbabwe

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hawxU6Y79f-RWy_s8pLiL6FbpQugD949GTVG0
Who, what, when, where, why, and how. The article is about a bank that has had money transferred to it to pass on to people fighting AIDS in southern Africa. The people who have given Zimbabwe the money say that unless that money is fully recovered they will give no more money to help AIDS in Zimbabwe again. This article was written on November 7th 2008 ago but the bank missed the deadline to give the money away on November 4th 2008. It does not say in the article exactly why they have not given up the money only that they still have seven million dollars to give back. The people that has given this money are very annoyed since Zimbabwe have a very serious case of AIDS and this money would really of helped and the bank has not released this money in a time of need.
The reason this is a big story is because of Magnitude. The outcome of the events that this story tells of are massive for people in Zimbabwe. Because of what has happened millions of people who are infected with AIDS now cannot get treatment for this disease. That is magnitude because of the number of people that this one story could effect forever. Lots of people could die of the disease between now and the time they recover the money. They will have died for no reason.

Violence leads to more violence

I think the saying violence leads to more violence is completely correct. If someone comes and hits you more than likely you are going to hit them back. Its not being mean or anything it is just self defence. In the book Julius Caesar I think a perfect example of this is when the conspirators kill Caesar they start a Civil War. By killing one person, a very important person but one person none the less, many more people were killed. Yes and in my personel history most of the time I use violence or someone uses violence one me more violence comes from that.

The Moral Dilemma of Brutus

Brutus wants the best of Rome. He will do almost anything to give Rome the best things. He wants Rome to not be run by one person but by the senate. Then there is Caesar. He is Brutus' best friend and is part of a high form of society. He has been going up the ranks of Judge to general to leader. He is slowly going towards being the outright king of Rome. This is not in Brutus' best interests and is wondering what he is going to have to do about his friend. As Brutus thinks Rome should be run by the Senate, Caesar is trying to be the ruler by himself. Then Cassius come along and says he thinks that Caesar is a lesser man and is not right to rule. This is when Brutus comes into a Moral Dilemma.
If I was in Brutus' shoes I would turn Cassius and his followers into Caesar for conspiracy to kill. I would do this because the plan to kill Caesar is wrong. In the book Brutus does feel some grief about the plan for his friend but he is more concerned about Rome. I would save Caesar and try and change Caesar's idea about the exclusion of the Senate. This solves all the problems and I think it helps everyone.

quarter 2 goals

One of my goals is to be able to do my homework better. I lost a lot of my points on first quarter because i got bad marks on my homework. I think if I could work better independently then i could be a much better student.
Another one of my quarter two goals is that i should be more consistent. Most of my grades were either low or high none of them were in the middle. I want to stop getting so many low grades and try and concentrate on being more consistent. I think this is one of my major working points.
Another thing I should is study more on tests. On the main test for the entire quarter I got a bad score so I think I would be able to do better if i studied more
