Hi Boys and Girls, I have come to notice that many of you are not reading the blog posts by me closely. As discussed in class, the past few, and today's have been asking you to tell me why (meaning: explain your reasons) and to also list "no less than...," do not forget to do what the directions state. This also counts for making sure you have TWO posts per week. One is answering the overall topic or question posted by me, and the other is responding to a classmate's answer. Please don't forget to do so as it counts as part of your homework grade.
Also, I have noticed that many of you are posting for older blogs Monday evening. Please know that if you do not post by MONDAY MORNING, your homework credit for that blog will not count and your homework will be considered incomplete (it has been discussed in class and on the side of the blog since school began). Anyway...I was wondering... If you could change 3 things about the world, what would they be? List them and tell me why!

One thing I would change about the world is guns not existing. Guns can kill people in seconds. Now there are more shootings than ever and people are getting seriously hurt or dead to guns.

I agree with you by how you said about racism. Racism is very bad and also how people smoke because if you go to flushing almost everywhere you look you will see people smoking. I wish I could just make cigarette disappear.

I agree with you Ryan L. Weapons should be used for good. Shootings and murders in general are a big problem. Also, people shouldn’t have to judge others because of what they do, say, or just because of who they are. They should have the courage to be themselves with pride. I believe that everyone should have self love and be confident.

I disagree with you on the gun part because people could find out where the guns were being made and steal them and tell other people.It could reduce the amount of guns being used but criminals can still have them.

I don't understand what are you are taking about guns are bad and guns was a mistake to be used to kill and some guns people use it to stop crime and also you have mistake Mrs.Ritter's blog it clearly says "If you could change 3 things about the world, what would they be?"

If the bad guys find the guns.......nevermind, they just need GUARDS. If they still pass through, more people will try to find they for more $money$.

I agree and disagree with you because people can use the gun for self-defense against attackers. The judging part is bad because no one should bully anyone.

I agree with you Liam, but if I may further discuss the taxes, this is what I would like to add. Taxes are not fair, especially for the middle class. Wealthy people are taxed less, while hard working people pay extra amounts of taxes. Yes, this is why average people are going broke! Very wealthy people can afford to pay more and give others a break to stop this problem.

I agree with you Liam. All three of these opinion statements and there reasonings are important and true. Taxes are a very big problem in our world today because people are having to pay a high amount of taxes. Also, I do believe that we should have 3 months off for summer vacation because we work very hard for all 180 days of school.

Three things I wish to eliminate include these: clowns, the current school lunch for NYC Public Schools and sickness and death. Clowns scare me as well as other children. In 2016, around Halloween, some criminals dressed as clowns. This idea is very eerie to many people. Clowns need to go, especially the ones at birthday parties because they remind me of negative intentions. Secondly, the current school lunch at NYC Public Schools needs to be fixed. Most kids agree that the meals served are not made with effort. Vegetables can be cold, or meat might be rubbery. We would like to know what is inside of the mystery meat? Finally, there should not be any sickness or death. We don`t need to see people suffering. We definitely do not want to lose loved ones.

I agree with you, Amy. Smoking is a VERY serious matter. People die from smoking, and get lung cancer, red eyes, yellow teeth, etc. I once saw this expieriment on YouTube that showed you what happened if you smoked 30 packs of cigarettes (don't worry, nobody had to smoke that much. It was represented with cotton balls inside a container inhaling and exhaling the smoke).

- Having no homework would be awesome because it would give us more free time and more studying or tv time.Having homework can sometimes cause stress on children also doesn't make them finish their project or anything related like that.

Not all Chinese people torture dogs my family and I have 3 dogs at home and we love them and they are part of our family. And it is part of their culture that doesn’t make it right they shouldn’t eat dogs but it is their culture that is why us Americans eat cows,pork, and other types of living things. There are even cultures out there that don’t even eat living things. Everyone’s culture is different and it is not our place to judge. And I personal won’t eat my dogs because I love them.

I personally disagree with you Zainab, no matter what way you put it money makes the world run. If there was no money people would still be trading chickens and cows. Also when people pour there life into something for a living they need something to help support their family. Also people would just have nothing to live for. Money is also a great motivator for people to better themselves. I also completely disagree with you Preston if you took the time to research the Yulin dog festival you would find that the things they do to these dogs are inhumane and emotionally scarring. I also think that this should be stopped. Especially to a kid.

Three things that I would want to change in the world is first nobody can smoke. It not good for you because it can cause lung cancer which you can die from it and it would be a life that you are losing because you made the wrong choice to smoke. Another thing that I would change in the world is candy. You guys might think this is weird, but I HATE CANDY!!! I don’t have a sweet tooth, and I think that candy is way to sweet like Twix. So, overall the candy would be bad for your teeth and you would have to spend money on the dentist which your parents would not want so I would want to have no more candy in the world. The last thing I would change in the world is clowns. Clowns can scare people like crazy! Some people can die from getting scared by clowns. If we don’t let any clowns into the world it would be a more happy place instead of people getting scared to death my clowns!

I know technology is making all of us lazy that is the reason why I would like to introduce a change in the school curriculum all around the world to include fifty percent of the time in school to be spent on sports and physical activity. This would help my generation to be healthy, fit and happy. We do not want to be the generation of couch potatoes.

1. One thing I would change is world poverty because as people loose money, they loose money to buy food for their family and themselves. When this happens more and more people start to pass. As people, we have to understand that not everyone can have the food that we have and can not just waste our food.
