A Good Leader

Some of the qualities of a good leader are knowing where to go and what to do, being outgoing, and being funny. I think some of the 8th grade leaders are Petr, Natasha, and Aysha. All of these people depict these qualities. To demonstrate all of these qualities they basically have to follow those qualities.

Case Study In Imperialism

The main method of taking over these countries was military force. Some of the changes were cleanliness, education, dams canals, the telephone, and the telegraph. The motivation was mostly cash crops like tea, dye, cotton, coffee, and there was a lot of cheap labor. The glory part for England taking over India was being the first and only country to take over India, so that gave them great power, and India had a lot of free land.

Reflection Goals

I think I have done very well in achieving most of my goals. Some of the goals I achieved was that I made a good impression on my teacher and the students, I turned in most of my assignments, I became a lot more organized, and I think I became a better, faster reader.

Some of the goals that I want to start are bringing a bag of chips every day for the rest of the year, I want to learn about countries, and I also want to become a fluent speaker.

Capitalism Cartoon

I think the main visual elements is the fat tall guy (with a tag that says capitalism on it), and the little guy (with a tag with labor on it) that the fat guy is crushing in his hand. I think it is about how capitalism steels the money of "working man" for his own gain. I think this cartoon shows how capitalism steels the money from everyone and how it is bad. I think it is just the whole picture and the words at the bottom that lead me to think like what I am. I think this a great picture that doesn't need to be "fixed" at all.

There are many good and bad net effects of the industrial revolution, I will give you 4 of each. Some of the positive effects are it gave new ideas to start new companies to create things to make thing faster and better quality, there were also new ways for agriculture, they also got iron ore which helped a lot of manufacturing. Some of the negative effects were the Luddites destroyed all of the new technology that they made which caused a lot of rite, there were a lot of mining hazards from mining, a lot also got acid burns that heart people very bad, and there were very bad work hazards in factories.
