Rights Assignment

What is your right?
My right is freedom of speech.

Why does your right exist?
The right to freedom of speech allows individuals to express themselves without interference or constraint by the government.

Describe what it means to exercise your right.
To excersize freedom of speech, it means that you are saying what you want without being punished.

What limitations exist on your right?
The limitations on this right are rules for different places like schools, at work, at home, etc. There would be consequenses if you said something that you wanted to say but wasn't nice to someone like your teacher or your parent. Those are the limitations for this right.

Why do those limitations exist?
If they did not exist than kids would not ever learn how to talk right to people. They would not be taught how to be polite or ask for things nicely. Nobody would be courteous to each other.

If you had to give up this right, what would you want in return?
I would want the poor to be treated and to give everyone a place to live.

Environmental Fact 5

Stopping Global Warming will keep our civiliztion.

http://www.livescience.com/technology/050627_warming_solution.html
1.Rober Roy Britt
2.Imaginova is a leading digital media and commerce company. Our rapidly expanding network of brands has become the premier online destination for the intellectually curious. OMD¹ estimates that there are 60 million U.S. adults 18-54 who are intellectually curious about science and technology, a fast growing segment of the population.
3.It is very credible
4.It shows the threats to our civilization such as a volcano.
5.Yes
6.Britt is a senior writer for Imaginova.

http://scienceblogs.com/gnxp/2008/07/global_warming_bad_for_civiliz.php
1.Razib
2.In 2 separate experiments, one involving imperative (no-choice), the other choice situations, we investigated how predicted risk and expected value aggregate into a common reward signal in the human brain. Blood oxygen level dependent responses in lateral regions of the prefrontal cortex increased monotonically with increasing reward value in the absence of risk in both experiments. Risk enhanced these responses in risk-seeking participants, but reduced them in risk-averse participants. The aggregate value and risk responses in lateral prefrontal cortex contrasted with pure value signals independent of risk in the striatum. These results demonstrate an aggregate risk and value signal in the prefrontal cortex that would be compatible with basic assumptions underlying the mean-variance approach to utility.
3.It is kind of credible.
4.It shows an experiment about what he did about global warming.
5.Somewhat
6.Razib seems like a very smart person who knows what he is talking about but he could be wrong.

Environmental Fact 1

Project Questions

1. The United States got involved because of all the fighting and terrorism that was going on.

2. The U.S. started interfiering in the middle east since 1801 when Thomas Jefferson sent help to aid military against pirates. March 1963 to station a squadron of U.S. jet fighters in Dhahran. There they played a high-altitude game of "cat and mouse" with Egyptions Migs along the Saudi Yemenni frontier until Lyndon B. Johnson terminatged "Operation Hard Surface" in early 1964.

3. Our enemies in the Middle East are Islamic cultured backgrounds because we took the side of Israel and gave them their land.

4. Our friend in the Middle East is Israel because we gave them land and supported them.

5. The U.S. mostly just wants for the fighting to end because innocent people are dying everyday. We just want there to be peace between all countries in the Middle East.

6. The U.S. is prepared to interveen and try to stall the fighting and send our troops.

7. The U.S. is not willing to give up on Israel.

Reflection Questions

1. I learned all about the causes and battles of the Revolutionary War.
2. My research question was..."What were the causes and battles of the Revolutionary War?"
3. The answer to my research question was the information about the major battles and causes of the Revolutionary War.
4. The final product did answer the research question.
5. We had information about the battles and causes in our book.
6. I think that we were very organized for the project. We made different pages for each part of our project and this helped to make it organized.
7. We should not have waited as long to start it. If we would have started it earlier, we might have been able to get more things done.
8. I would have liked to do a game or a model instead of a book.
9. I think that we did a lot more research than needed.
10. I think that we deserve an A because it is very organized and gives information and pictures just like a normal scrapbook would.

4.What has been easier than I thought it would be?
Making the index cards and posting the websites on Delicious has been a lot easier than I thought it would be.
