Overpopulation

Im not sure what past societies have done to overcome population issues,
but a couple ways the United States can control overpopulation in America is maybe raising the price for immigrants to travel back and forth from america to another country. And limiting the people who come from out of the country. Not just middle eastern people, everybody going out of the country or coming in.
Another way to control overpopulation is that governments should promote two child families and advocate for abstinence in young women. If a women has more than two children she would have to pay for each child after the second one.
I would probably do it this way because it would be less women getting pregnated, especially at young ages. it would be more expensive for people traveling, but overpopulation may result in a decrease in America's resources and immigrants coming should pay for using our countries resources, because we won't have them for much longer the way people are treated the enviroment today.

Who do you believe is to blame for the situation and what should the USA policy be in regards to Darfur

I think that the government in Darfur is responsibile for what is going on there, because if they really wanted to, they could find a way to stop what is happening to all the innocent people being mudered, and all the women being raped.
In Rwanda i think the UN officials are to blame, because they were given warnings 3 months before the genocide actually happened between the Hutu's and Tutsi's, And all the warnings they got were ignored.
The United States were one of the countries that said they would not let this happen again after Rwanda and now its happening in Darfur, but once again America doesnt seem to be doing much of anything to help. They could at least send some people to help, even if its only a little bet

Romeo & Juliet


In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Juliet was told she had to marry a man named Paris, a nobleman of Verona. And learn to love him somewhere throughout their marriage.

I think that it is better to fall in love, because when you meet someone and fall in love with them there is already alot of things you like/love about them and alot of reasons you like/love to be with them. And if you already feel that way about somebody and get married, your most likely gonna last.
But if you have to learn to love somebody, then theres probably alot of things you dont like about each other, and maybe dont like being around eachother either but you have to. And you have to learn to like, and love. Rather than be with somebody of your choice.

Blog Project

I think the culture exchange project through blogs is a good idea, it is faster and easier.
Because in one of my other classes i have a pen pal in Japan and it takes a long time to get the letters back and forth from here to Japan. And if i am talking to someone from a different country through my blog, my message would get through alot faster then a letter.
I dont have any suggestions or future improvements.

Place i Love/Where to go

I don't have a favorite place to go in the U.S., I love the city I live in because of it's unique climate and all the different things this city has to offer like education (University of Texas, St.Edwards University etc.), the diversity, all of the events, and the music(Music Capitol)..
but I've always wanted to travel.

One place I would like to travel to one day is New York City. It's a big city full of lots of people and lots of things, and really different from Austin. Lots of movies and tv show's have been filmed in New York City. And it's the perfect place to go shopping. I would also like to go see all of the world famous landmarks and neighborhoods.

So i don't have a favorite place, if i did, it would be right here in Austin.
And also a place i've always wanted to go.

Terrorists

We have had multiple terrorist attcks in the U.S., our most recent one that shocked and scared the nation was September 11, 2001. On that morning, 19 Islamist terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners.The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the building. Both buildings collapsed within two hours, destroying at least two nearby buildings and damaging others. The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania, after some of its passengers and flight crew attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington, D.C. There are no survivors from any of the flights. After 9/11 our country has strengthened their anti-terrorism legislation and expanded law enforcement powers.
