Research Question
1. How are the poorer students not able to get the proper education as the more wealthy students are getting? How is this creating a disadvantage for the poorer students to have a potential in their future?
2. In my research I will have to learn what are some of the reasons/examples why the poorer students are not getting the same education as the wealthier students are getting. For example, finding a certain city like D.C. with this problem to focus on my research. Then, learning more on why this is this giving the poorer students a disadvantage for their future, such as finding examples of this.

International Human Rights: Tentative research proposal
1. I am interested in researching something that I can relate to more such as children's rights than elders rights. One topic that interested me was education issues for children.
2. Here is a good basic link that explains some of the children's rights.
http://www.hrea.org/index.php?doc_id=146
Books:
- Savage Inequalities by Jonathan Kozol.
- The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America by Jonathan Kozol.
- There are No Children Here by Alex Kotlowitz.
3. One topic that I don't know how to find a meaningful topic to work from is divorce/marriage rights for adults (more for the different sex marriages). Like maybe child custody rights when divorce happens or something like that. This interests me because I can somewhat relate to it from my parents being divorced.

Review over class discussion
1. My lingering questions after the discussion is who really was Tippu Tip. I don't think we went over this one question as much as we did the other ones. The idea that I would like to go further is who is worse the person who kills or the person who tells the person to kill.
2. Overall, I think our group discussion was productive. We were able to discuss a good amount of the questions. We also had lots of opinions and ideas which was good because it was not like someone found a quote and cited it and moved on to another topic with out discussing it. For me I need to improve on talking more in the discussions and try and get a better understanding of the book.

News Event on Taliban poison-in class work
What's being discussed in this article?
This article is about hundreds of girls getting poison in their school in Afghanistan. The victims all got very sick and were taken to the hospital. The Taliban does not believe in girls getting education and they banned it when they had power between 1996 to 2001, so it is most likely they attacked the girls' school with poison. However they also though it could of been a mass hysteria where one person saw another person ill and they got shocked and felt the same way.
When did the event happen? (Is this breaking news or something that's been analyzed and discussed for a while?)
This event happen on the 25 of August 2010. This is news that has been analyzed and discussed for a while because at the end of this article they list a bunch of classroom attacks with the same problem.
What questions do you have that would help make this article make more sense to you? What more so you need to learn about to be able to report on this event?
The question I have on this article is why do they think it could of been a hysteria and how was the hysteria caused by? Where the other classroom attacks real attacks too or was it just a hysteria?

Thoughts on 9/2/10 class notes
I learned what imperialism is and that there was an old one and new one. I learned what protectorate means. I am confused with the Raw cotton part and what they did with it. I did not get that in my notes.

News Events
Parent:
1.Space shuttle Challenger explosion: On January 28, 1986 the death of its seven crew members. They remember that everything seemed fine when it took off but then it just disappear. On the new they talked about how people went on a search for the debris to find the bodies. Found a few of the bodies strapped in their chairs. Made an impact on my parents that life is short and changed their perspective that you should not always take risks.
2. The death counts from the Vietnam War being announced every morning on the news while my mom ate her cereal at the breakfast table. The daily reminder of death as she started her day really impacted her thinking. To this day she will not read the obituary page and she tries to focus on positive thoughts.
3. The Great flood of the 90's here in the St. Louis area when the Missouri river levee broke and flooded Chesterfield valley. My mother was an executive at a company in Earth City which also bordered the Misssouri River. The executives were told that if the levee broke there would be 8 feet of water in 20 minutes or less at their office. There was no physical way for several hundred employees to escape in their cars. As a result, ladders were chained to poles and placed near exits for employees to climb onto the roof. Thankfully, the break actually occurred on a Saturday morning which minimized the loss of life. She remembers watching the news reports and pictures of Highway 40/64 as it rapidly disappeared under the water.
Me:
1. 911: This was a huge memorable news event for me because it happened in our own country in my life time. I remember going to grade school and looking at all the teachers and adults and seeing how sad and serious their faces were. We came together as a class and my third grade teachers told us what happened. I got most of the details from my parents when I got home that day as we watched the news all night. I was really young at the time so I was just shocked that something like that could happen here.
2. Hurricane Katrina: This was the first big hurricane in my life that I remember to be category 5 that hit our country and had a huge impact. I never really thought hurricanes can do that much damage till I heard about this one. I do remember it was the start of seventh grade and I would come home and hear on the news that a big hurricane was coming. However I did not expect it to destroy a city and have a bunch of people homeless and die.
3. The earthquake in Haiti: This was a big news event for me because it made me feel so upset to hear that one of the poorest countries in the world had one of the biggest earthquakes. I remember I found out this happened when I was in Junior year and I was on the Internet and it popped up on yahoo. Then I heard about it later that day on the news. I was just shocked that an earthquake can do that much damage to Haiti and I thought about how long it is going to take to rebuild it again.
