My three articles talk about the U.S and violence with the Middle East. They talk about how the U.S. has caused havoc in Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and nuclear bomb talks with Iran. The main point of these articles is that the U.S doesn’t care for making allies with countries in the Middle East. They talk about how invasions of the U.S military in Syria during the Iraq War, drone bombings that have killed many children in Yemen and Syria during a documentary filming and how Iran doesn't have high expectations for the U.S top have goodwill at a nuclear program meeting. This connects to what we’re learning in class because at this point the U.S. didn't have many enemy’s and were worrying more about themselves than other nations as they were dealing with reconstruction of their own country. We only really had one war that didn’t need to happen at this time was the Mexican War. There wasn’t really a high power country so most countries wanted to keep good relations with other countries so it would bring good trade.
Those seem like three very good articles Joey. My three kind of relate to yours because of the countries your articles are about. Yours are Pakistan, Yemen, and Syria. One of mine is also Syria, and the other two are Egypt and Somalia. The countries my articles are about are all in some sort of internal conflict within the country, but yours are about outside forces coming in to stop conflict. What connects all of the countries between our two sets of articles are that they are all dangerous places to live.
Claire Maurer These articles talk about the relationships between the United States and other countries. In this case what is happening between India and us. In these articles they suggest recommendations that would benefit the United Nations or to more specific Washington DC and other recommendations that would benefit India. The main points of these articles are to strengthen the bond with the U.S and other neighboring countries, by having both sides come to terms. For example in one of the articles they recommend that the United States should strengthen its bonds with foreign countries by, seeking partnership with Afghanistan and to help India with different problems. While they recommended that India should improve defense cooperation’s with key states. I think that this relates to what we are learning in class, because the north and south have to come to terms. There is much agreeing at first and neither side was going to give up without a fight. So although the united States are now not split between north and south and we had come together in the end. We still have feuds with other countries that we have to try and resolve with compromises on both sides.
Your articles are like mine, talking about the U.S. and its relations with other countries. My articles were also about making alliances and "strengthening bonds".
These three articles talk about some of the United States foreign policies with other nations. In this case, the nations are, India, China, and the Ukraine. These three articles demonstrate how the United States is trying to make as many allies as possible, attempting to help out many countries in need. Some of the things that the U.S. is doing for these countries are, selling defense systems to these countries, and providing finantial aide. The U.S. relationship with the Ukraine is a lot weaker than the ones with India and China, so as of now, the U.S. is not doing much for the Ukraine.
How does this relate to the Civil War era, well, the U.S. is doing the complete opposite of what George Washington stated in his farwell adress, in this, he stated (Finish Later)
(Continued) "Tis' are policy to steer clear of any permanent Alliances with any portion of the foreign world". The reason that I say the U.S. is doing the complete opposite of this now is clearly showed in these articles. The U.S. is trying to become allies with everyone... Washington would not be proud.
I really liked how you compared the present U.S to the past U.S and how you had a contrast between what we are doing now and what Washington stated back then. I find it very interesting how we are doing the complete opposite of what George Washington said, what do you think about what we are doing now compared to our history?
http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/immigration http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/immigration/blueprint-for-reform http://www.philly.com/philly/news/homepage/20130121_A_range_of_details_surround_Obama_s_overhaul_of_immigration_rules.html The articles that I have chosen talk about how President Obama wants to create a stronger, more effective plan for the immigration system in the U.S. The president wants to search for employers employing undocumented employers, he wants them to earn a citizenship, and have legal immigration. President Obama had doubled the border security in 2004 and it has grown since then. In order to crack down on undocumented workers, he has done background checks just for our economy. President Obama thinks it is not fair that they are not in the system and should be accounted for if they are working for a business or working at all. To a disadvantage, the companies who hired the undocumented workers will be pressed with the same actions of the illegal immigration workers. He also said that they should reach in getting a citizenship here in America so they don't have to be left in the shadows. He encourages them to get an education or to learn English and have an understanding. He wants them to obtain a citizenship so it would be fair to everyone who pays taxes and face penalties. Unlike parents sending their kids off to the U.s illegally and the kids are blamed for their parents actions, President Obama wants them to attend a higher education or enlist in the military to strive for a citizen ship with their family too. Instead of sending just their kids, they should be willing to earn their citizenship to the U.S too so all of the kids’ families are in one spot, not different border. A comparison between what is happening now and happened in the past is the immigration between slaves. Back when they slaves were shipped in ships to different coasts in bad conditions. Families were separated just like how immigration here is between some families. There was also border control for slaves that weren’t allowed into the state, just like how President Obama maintained border patrol so there isn’t any illegal immigration. The immigration system was quite similar just with different issues, like slaves and foreign countries now. What happened back then was similar to now because slaves in the past were punished for trying to leave and illegal and undocumented workers will be getting a fine or fee for their troubles. So there is a compare and contrast between the present and the past.
First off, the length over your overall summary is awesome! You went into great detail. You connected slavery shipment and illegal immigration together. I wrote about immigration for our test. You did very good on this blog. A+!
North Korea is planning on bombing the United States of America. This could be bad for us because we will get bombed. This means that many people will die after the bombing. This could affect our population immensely. This could also affect the economy and businesses. Some sites say that they have the missiles set to fire, but others say that there is no need to panic. They think that North Korea is not a threat for the United States. They are obsolete. This connects to back then because the United States were about to go into World War I. The United States were going to be bombed and there was a lot of fighting and missiles involved. There were also nuclear threats to the United States. Many people died in World War I and many people could die if World War III were to happen when North Korea decides to fire their missiles.
The only way to not know the biggest threat against the United States is to be living under a rock. The threat is North Korea, their promise: launch nuclear missiles at us. The United Nations have denounced them, as expected, but also, as mentioned in the first article, China has spoken down upon their recent actions and threats. This is significant because China is North Korea’s only major ally. Similarly, and rather obviously, both the United States and South Korea have also told the communist nation to stand down. In the second article, North Korea is quoted as saying that it “has powerful striking means”. Also, it talks about the lengths North Korea has gone to tighten the tension between itself and South Korea, like pulling workers from unified factories. The third article has South Korea as saying that the North is poised to launch up to five missiles from its eastern coast. It also mentions the 53,000 workers pulled out of the Kaesong factory. This threat could be compared to labor disputes between unions and companies. These disputes threatened to tear apart the country and workforces; much like North Korea is threatening to blow up almost every nation on earth and pulling workers from unified factories.
North Korea in the past couple of months have been very active with threats. Pak Pong-ju (the North Korea leader) and North Korea are planning to launch nuclear rockets and bomb the U.S. A lot of different sites, and many people think this might turn into another world war: World War III. Right now instead on launching the missiles they are putting them on hold, and have announced they have entered a state of war with South Korea and the U.S. troops there (1st article). Hopefully they will not bomb us, but sources say that we will be prepared, and in the long run we will destroy them. These threats and proclamations relate to Social Studies class, because we are just about to study World War I and II. There was a lot of fighting and a lot of death. But in the end our country won. Hopefully soon North Korea will be put under and everything will go back to normal, because I would hate to see the effects of North Korea trying to bomb us.
The United States is facing a problem with immigration, as more and more people become U.S citizens, on working visas. Many let their working visas expire. According to the New York times article, 11 million unauthorized immigrants are allowed to become U.S citizens because of the debate of the immigrant reform. Many of these reforms deal with the expiration of working visas, believing that congress should adjust them for shortage of skilled workers and be able to have new citizens change employers after a period of twelve months. The second article also talks about these changes as well, describing how instead of making changes many Americans would like to focus more about how to better the economy, without bringing more new citizens into it. These problems with expiring working visas and immigration reforms, relate to our Social Studies course, because of how during the Gilded Age many new citizens coming into the United States, helped improve the economy. Many received jobs as soon as they came into the country. Even though some immigrants were treated worse then others they still helped to better the working situations and helped increase wealth in the nation.
