Ecological Intelligence


1.Ecological Intelligence is when you make a conscience decision based upon cause and effect to the environment.
2.Why don't people live more sustainably?
People don't live more sustainably because they don't seem to care about the environment. Most people don't take the time or the effort to recycle. The lack of understanding our choices makes people complacent, without awareness of some potential danger.
3. How high is your ecological intelligence?
My ecological intelligence is not very high because I'm not aware of what is used to make the products or clothing that I use. I don't know the effects on the environment or how it can effect the population.

Reflections/Goals!


1. How are you different now than when you started school in August?
I'm different now because I'm a little more wiser and more careful about things i do and i think through things now before i actually start them.


2. What skills do you think are the most important for succeeding in Humanities? Why?
I think some skills are spell checking, grammar and knowing how to stay focused while you are writing an assignment. Using all of that is very important and it will help you alot in the future.



3. One thing I would like to improve on this semester is focusing more and paying attention when needed and i also need to start asking questions in class so i am not left hanging with not knowing what to do. I am going to do this by asking for clarification on an assignment staying on tasks get the assignment done ahead of time so i am not stressed out the next day.


4. What are you most curious about? If you could study any topic, what would you study and why?I am most curious about grammar and learning new words that's why i enjoy doing the word of the day i like putting the new word that i learned together in a sentence.

My mom laughs when she see's me and ariana together she said she thinks that ariana thinks im her age just taller. ariana and i run around the house like a bunch of maniacs everyday we play all the time. hide and seek and are game we made up called "i get chu". Ariana and i gave eachother nicknames mine is pri and hers is boo boo. boo boo thinks its hilarous to throw stuff at me for example when we went to costco to get are thanksgivng meal she ate a bacon mash potatoes sample and ate the potatoes and got the pieces of bacon and threw them on my shoe she gets a kick out of me when she see's my reactions.


Ariana is my life i love her more than anything on this planet i am so thankful to be her aunt shes my everything shes my princess my little boo boo.

Election 2008

Personally the debates were are really confusing to me . But if i had to choose a topic to talk about it would be prop 8. I think a marriage should be defined between a man and a woman. Same sex couples will still have the same rights they have now. Leviticus 20:13 "if there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them.

Future generations will be affected if we don't make a stand they depend on us to make the right choice. children in public schools will have to be taught that same-sex marriage is just as good as traditional marriage. For example in Massachusetts a parent did NOT want their 5 year old child to be taught about homosexual marriage and the courts ruled they have NO rights OPT out and they arrested the parent.(Parker Case-U.S District Judge Mark L. Wolf). The California education code already requires that health education classes instruct children about marriage
(51890) children will be taught that marriage is between any two adults regardless of gender.October ,11th 2008 San Fransisco lesbian school teacher brought her 1st grade class to her lesbian wedding during school class time. its already started in the schools. I would never want my kids or grandchildren to learn about same-sex marriage or be brought into it. I don't feel its right if my daughter or son had the right or option to marry someone of the same-sex.

Churches may be sued or there tax exempt status if they refuse to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies in their religious buildings open to the public.(In New Jersey they sued a Methodist church for not allowing homosexual marriages. The church claimed it was private property and the judged ruled against the church and they LOST their tax exemption status.(Bernstein& pastors vs. Ocean grove Methodists church). Religious adoptions agencies will be challenged by government agencies to give up their long-held right to place children only in homes with both a mother and a father. Catholic charities in Boston already closed its doors in Massachusetts because courts legalized same-sex marriage there. Religions that sponsor private schools with married student housing may be required to provide housing for same-sex couples, even if it counters the church doctrine or risk a law suit.Ministers who preach against same-sex marriages may be sued for hate speech and risk government fines.

The freedom of speech should protect the christian as well as the non christian. I don't think it should be considered hate speech when Christians give evidence from their bible of whats wrong or right. I think hate speech is when you threaten someone about their believes or rights.

I chose this topic because i am a very strong christian. I know at most schools the kids vote No on prop 8 because either there best friend is gay or their brother is and they feel bad on not letting their friends have the rights in getting married with the same sex .But i want to be the soar thumb that sticks out and says what i believe is right.

Vote Yes On Proposition 8!
