Freedom Heroine

Aung San Suu Kyi is a Burmese citizen who has done a lot in her life to get freedom for the Burmese. Suu Kyi encourages us to consider helping people for freedom and peace. With freedom your country will be a better place. With peace your country will be a calmer and nicer place to live in.

"Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contestant by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent." Aung San Suu Kyi quotes. Suu Kyi really means this. She fought against the government for peace and freedom for the citizens of Burma. Aung San Suu Kyi led her own party and won. Suu Kyi fought for the rights no matter what the consequences were. In 1990 elections were held for the first time after 30 years. The National League of Democracy, led by Suu Kyi won the elections. But the military leader of Myanmar didn't want to step down so didn't recognize the results. But Suu Kyi still fought for her peoples rights. So in 1990 Suu Kyi was put under house arrest for a long 15 out of 21 years. Even though she knew that she couldn't see her family for a long time, she still fought for freedom. The only way she can be released of house arrest, she would have to leave Myanmar alone During this time period she couldn't meet her children or husband. This was a big sacrifice to make. While she was still under house arrest her husband, Michael Aris pasts away. But also during this time period she got a few prizes, such as the Nobel Peace prize and a several from different countries.

It is important to fight for freedom for a country because than you can speak out about a problem that is happening in that country and can make it better. If there were a problem in a country it is better to sit down and speak out so that people can get ideas from each other to make the place a better place to live in. If there were no freedom than people will be scared to speak out about something they believe in, and if you don't sit down and talk about it, than people will start war and fight against the government. Aung San Suu Kyi believes there should be freedom. She led her own party to bring back freedom from the military, because she wants Burmese to live in peace and in calm just like all the rest of the people in the world.

Without Aung San Suu Kyi and her beliefs of freedom Myanmar would still be under control of the military and make people starve for hunger of freedom. Aung San Suu Kyi has inspired me because she has made Myanmar a better place even though she was under house arrest. Suu Kyi has fought a lot for Myanmar and that makes be believe that your actions will be counted.

Everyone Deserves Freedom

Mohandas Gandhi quotes, "Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?" Peace is define as the state of being free or at liberty rather than inconfinement or under physical restraint . It means happiness and calm from all troubles. If given a chance to start a New World, I would hope the society will be built around peace.

Peace is an important characteristic because it helps people get along with each other with good relationships, even though you are a more higher ranking than others. Peace will allow people to speak out and stand up for their rights without having fear from any conquering government. By speaking out to the New World, the world will develop faster and better. Instead of listening to one voice/idea, you are able to listen to more and different ideas that are different in many ways. You will also gain or collect ideas from different races in the world. Collecting ideas from different perspective will allow growth in a society.

Additionally, it is important for a society to be built around peace because the society will feel free and happy because there will be no more problems. With peace there will be no more wars between society. If there is war, people will die, and the world will be destroyed.

Without peace the New World would slowly become a worst and be a not developed country because people will be scared to speak out and share ideas. As mentioned earlier, Mohandas Gandhi quoted, "Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?"

Believe

An artist named Mjolnir made this drawing on top, the writing on the top means "our last hope" This drawing shows how miserable the German were. They are showing that the Germans were living a bad life as a result- economic depression unemployment and loss of the war and dignity with the signing the Versailles treaty Hitler offered a simple solution and blamed the Jews for all the problems.

In 1933, Adolf Hitler was named chancellor of Germany, and he created propaganda to give a bad image about the Jews. Hitler told everybody how bad the Jews were and totally brain washed them, especially the children. The hatred of the Jews quickly spread throughout Germany and cost a lot of problems to the Jews.

Jews have done some stuff in the past, and now Hitler does not except them. Hitler hated them and told the Germans and the public propaganda, making them to cause atrocities, which means to burn houses, killing and destroying. The night that happen there were a lot of shattered glass on the ground so that’s why it was called "Kristalnacht" translated to English is "Crystal Night" 100 people died, 275 synagogues burnt down, 75 busynesses destroyed, 1000 homes of Jews were destroyed and 30000 people were sent to concentration camp.

This event caused people to act terribly to others. There were broken friendship, betrayal and abolished factories and busyness. The first concentration camp was made on March 1, 1933 at Dachau. Jews were expelled from the civil service and universities. They were also imprisoned without going through trail because of Hitler’s laws. Everyone said that "they" were the reason why they lost the war, and the neglected "their" misery and only care about retrieving the fatherlands glory. The Jews tried to get away, but couldn't get anywhere because no one accepted them, the Canadians took a few hundred only. They were trapped in a land of torture and disgusting people.

The Jews now became isolated and different. Hitler wanted the children as he knew that they will soon rule the fatherland, they learned to dedicate everything to Hitler, and they were taught that Hitler is their "savior" They were taught that the Jews were low-class scum’s.

I was so surprised to how many people actually fell for what Hitler did. Even though there were a lot of people who supported Hitler there were others who didn't agree with him. But this people failed to show the world that Hitler was wrong, were they scared of Hitler? Or do they just don’t want to help the Jews, they failed to prevent propaganda. However 1 boy stood up, his name was Andre, a 12 year old boy. Andre was a kid who was requested to throw stones to Jewish shops. His family had the choice to throw the rocks or not. Andre said that they didn't do anything to him so what’s the point of destroying their property, but if they don't throw the rocks than they would have to leave Germany immediately, Andre decides to leave Germany and not hurt any Jews.

KK, The Key Letters To My Life

This photo above is my Domiknow, the colored parts are my dominant part of my body, this shows that my profile is KK

In my Humanities class, Mr. Whiting and Mrs. Narsiman visited our class to find out what type of learner we are and what letter profile we are. To find out what is your letter we need to know which is your dominant hand, eye, feet, and ear. We also need to know which side of your brain functions best, the left side is logic and the right side is gestalt. For me my dominant hand is right, my eye is left, my feet is left, my ear is right, so I am a gestalt learner (which means i am not the type of person who thinks logically), but with the specific profile of KK.

When I am in class I learn better through movement and focusing on the big picture. I agree with that statement, because in physical education class I learned better and faster, but if it is science or math I am a slow learner. I need to focus on the end result, so that I know what I am doing. If I am around friends or entertainment I will easily be distracted to what we are doing. I prefer not to do step-by-step instructions. I start to imagine the end result and do things that seem appropriate to me

I loose a lot of focus when I am around friends, so now I will move away from them and go somewhere I wouldn't get distracted. I have difficulty communicating, listening and remembering when I am under stressed. Activities that would help me are: reading out loud, thinking caps from brain gym, megaphones, toning the vowels, and cross lateral hand play like knitting, writing and drawing with the non dominant hand. Now i will know how to help myself in my learning’s.

I would like my teachers to know that I work best sitting in the front row on the left and side where I can use my left eye easily. I would like teachers to start teaching me with a little bit of moving. I am also a visual learner, so I want the teachers to start doing their stuff on the boards.

I think these tips will be really helpful for me, because I can concentrate more better in school.

Jason went to find the fleece, he got some help from the argonauts. He got the fleece after killing the dragon, and now his dad is king again.

Burmese Heroine

Aung San Suu Kyi is a hero for the Burmese citizens. She fought against freedom for her people. Suu Kyi was born on june 19, 1945. She was a Burmese opposition politician. Her party won an election, but than the burmese army didn't like that so they put her under house arrest from the year July 20, 1989 until 13 november, 2010. Although she knew that she would be away from her family for a long time she still wanted to have freedom for her people. It is hard to not believe that Aung San Suu Kyi is not a heroine. She has help a lot of people. We need to give a lot of respect to Aung San Suu Kyi because she fought against Junta she tried her best to help her people and she never gave up even if she was house arrested and couldn't see her family. Suu Kyi reminds me of Fatmire Feka, Feka had to go through a war between her home country Kosovo and Serbia, she never gave up that finally she left Kosovo and went to america. Even in America Feka still hasn't given up yet, she gives speeches to people and does a lot to tell people what she has been through.

We Are a Whole

This video made by Jason Van Genderen tells us how mankind is united and how its 1. Everyone is 1 whole. We should help the people in need. The part that I really like in this video was the part where somebody helped a homeless guy by talking with him and giving him company. Even a small favor can make somebody have a big smile on their face. Jason Van Genderen thought me something big in my life with just 1 video. Everyone in this world is the same and has to be treated the same way.
