Things are different here in Arizona, but I am starting to really get use to it.

Jn#22 What the hardest thing about this class so far

The hardest thing in this class is knowing what needs to be done step by step. W e usually have a lot going on in the class. We have journals that we need to submit at the end of the week. Assignment are also due every Thursdays. This makes it very difficult to have everything due and still study for our test or quizzes. Our quizzes are usually on a broad subject, therefore it makes it hard to retain what i have studied. Sometime i get confused with all the work that needs to be done, because i have other classes. I personally think i just need to organize myself and have a schedule for my work.

The use to charge passenger is very important, so the will be money to take care of the airports and improve our new runways and to expand our terminals. Therefore i personally feel it is very important to have money to take care of all these problems. At the end of the day, we use our airports and we should feel be the ones paying to maintain it. Getting the extra money is important in the Valley because officials at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport are about to embark on a $3 billion capital improvement program. This will improve the airport in mayne ways.

Jn#20 World War II

World War two brought about alot of casualties, it was very important that the prisoners of World War were treated with respect to the human life. The Geneva Convention was very helpful, because they had laws to help prisoners of war. When soldiers of lower rank were made to work, they were compensated, and officers were not forced to work. Before this the Geneva Convention there was alot of PO W's that lost their life's due to poor conditions. Starvation and poor living condition was a main factor of life been lost. It very important that we respect human life's even though a country might be at war.

Jn #18 Arizona among top 10 states for mortgage fraud

Due to the high migration of Arizona from other states, the home purchase has been a booming business in Arizona. New houses are been built and the mortgage fraud has been a way to make easy money from buyers. Arizona has shot up to No. 7 in a ranking of states. Mortgage companies get a higher housing cost from the bank and pocket the difference. It very sad Arizona is experiencing this problem. Arizona regulators formed a mortgage fraud task force to tackle the state's growing problem late last year. This might be a way to solve this problem. Arizona has affordable houses to offer, it will be very sad if the pushes buyer from purchasing homes.

Jn #17Westmoreland County Coal Strike of 1910–1911

It was a strike by coal minders represented by the United Mine Workers of America. A high majority of the workers were Slovakian immigrants. This strike was also named the"Slovak strike". A number of sixteen people loss their live's. Workers demanded a eight hour day and wages. I personally feel this strike was flown out of proportion. This could have been a peaceful strike. People lost their lives and that could never be replaced. To end the strike and break the union, the coal companies began importing thousands of Eastern European immigrants to work the mines.

Jn #16: Write about whatever you like.

School is very important in t0day's society. It is the way to the future of today's youthful generation. Been a student in college is very demanding, you have to put up with all the home work and school projects. College is regarded a full time job. I am a college student who has a full time job. I sometime i think if i wasn't working, i will have more time to devote to my school work. Working is not a choice is a must, i have to work a full time job to support myself and pay the bills. I sometime wish i was living in my parent's house. This will make me focus more on my school work and i will have more time in my hands. Everybody has to grow one day and be responsible. I don't regret living by myself and i am determine to accomplish school.

Jn #15 'That's so gay' comment leads to lawsuit

In Santa Rosa, California. A classmates razzed Rebeka Rice about her Mormon upbringing with question such as "Do you have 10 moms?" she shot back That's so gay."Those three words landed the high school freshman in the Principal's office and resulted in a lawsuit that raises this question. This is ridiculous to me because that phrase "That's so gay", is used in today's youth language. School authorities should not have taking this issues so far. Lets not forget she still had her fist amendment rights. This situation was flown out of proportion by the school district Both of these students should have been corrected in a simple way. This does not deserve a lawsuit.
