BRICS Summit

For the BRICS summit, I think writing our paper counted as part of it, because it required that we research and learn more, enabling us to discuss the problems.  Then the speakers wrote the speeches, and read them.  We discussed our solutions in small groups, created clauses, and brought them to bigger groups.  These groups decided on clauses to send to the entire BRICS summit and then we voted on which clauses were best.

It was weird collaborating with so many people because everyone criticizes everything you say, and also it was strange that the whole 6th grade was in one room for such a long period of time.

I think it was hard to decide on clauses, but voting for or against them was relatively easy.  A core value I saw happening a lot at the BRICS Summit was Risk Taker.  The representatives of each topic took risks presenting the clauses the topic groups decided on because even though the clauses could be disproved they stood up there confidently.

Learning about poverty at Graded is important because it helps our perspective improve, and it has us think about it longer, and that is more time to find a successful way to end poverty.

Boys Without Names

This book was good because I really liked the story about how the family ended up in Mumbai.  The ending was great too, but I don't like how we don't know what happened with Baba.  The way that Gopal escaped was pretty genius, but it did take a while, because he had to earn Scar's trust and that is definitely something he did not have at the beginning.  If I were to write a sequel, it would be about Baba's side of the story, how he got to Jama's house.  The ending is too short (I totally did not copy that from Manu -.-), and that sucked.  But other than that, this was a great book!

So you think you do lots of homework?

The Pro-Globalization Post of Supportiveness

Hello, citizens of Graded or otherwise.  Today my humanities class had a Socratic Seminar about Globalization.  There are many people against globalization.  As you may know, I am not one of them.  I am totally (95%) for globalization.

A reason I am pro-globalization is because of an episode of 30 Days.  In that episode, an American's job was outsourced to India.  While he was in India he worked at a call center, which payed surprisingly well, and was outsourced.  This job that doesn't pay well in the US payed great there.  This gives Indians more jobs that they need more than Americans.  Americans are worried about losing their job and moving into an apartment, but Indians are getting jobs and they live in huts practically.They obviously need the jobs more.

One thing that came up in the discussion was the question "What would the world be like without globalization?"  Everyone answered with statements like "I wouldn't have this..." or "I wouldn't be here", but I answered the question differently.  I didn't say what it would be like without globalization, I pointed out that there couldn't not be globalization.  Before the discovery of the Americas, before countries were this populated, before electricity, etc. countries wanted more land.  So they sent out explorers to find more land.  Of course, humans weren't all in one spot.  And the explorers wouldn't just happen to never look in the spot without other people.  So eventually, the expeditions arrived at places with people already inhabiting it.  The expedition groups obviously wouldn't be able to fight them, they were too outnumbered, so they communicated with the natives.  They befriended them, and discovered goods that they didn't have in their home country.  They would trade something valuable for it, and take it back to their land.  This caused several trade routs to different countries so they could get this good.  This started globalization.  It was inevitable.

The final reason globalization is good has to do with the question "What would the world be like without globalization?".  Many people said they wouldn't be here.  But, without globalization, there would be no here.  Graded was caused by globalization.  If it was possible to not have globalization, and there wasn't, there would be no use to have an American school in São Paulo.  no one would go there, because no one would know what the English language was.   No where would need an international school, because there is no international anything.  Graded wouldn't be there, and it would not even exist.

I hope that you now know that globalization is not a negative thing and that it was unavoidable.  The world would not be how it is now if it there was none of it.  I wouldn't have my favorite spice ( D: ) because the company wouldn't have the pepper.  Sure, there are downsides, but ultimately the positive thing outweigh them.

Lab 9

1 There were little dots that moved around quickly and randomly that got eaten by a killer worm with fangs, who got eaten by a multicell thing that moved very little.  There was also a smaller worm, who twitched and moved around little distance, but did so suddenly.
2 In the organisms I couldn't make out cell parts, but the biggest one I could but I didn't know what they were.
3 They all were transparent, except for a blue fungus.
4 The killer worm had fangs that it used so trap the little dots.
5 I think that the bacteria we didn't observe were what fed the crazy little dots, who were eaten by the killer worms.
6 These organisms compare to animals because the little dots where like rabbits, moving around fast.  The killer worms were like wild dogs, who ate the little dots.  Finally, the multicell one was like a lion, that sneak attacked the killer worm.
7 I observed a very obvious food chain of the little dots, the killer worm, and the multicell thing.  I explained it above.

basically what we saw
