5 TIOL questions.

1)What is art?
Everything is art. Everything surrounding you is art, because everything can be portrayed. If you can paint it or drawi it, it's art.

2) Why do humans create utopias?
I think humans create utopias because at some point we'd just like to make the world better than it already is. but sometimes things arent always better, sometimes things are just different liking for others. We can't all have the same likes and dislikes that's why we're all so uniqe.

3)What is amnesty?
Amnesty is a political way to "pardon" certain matters, mostly political offenses.


4)What is the world food crisis? What is the cause of the world food crisis?
The world food crisis is one that evidently is throughout the whole world. People suffer from starvation and mild nutrition from the rises in gas prices and inequalities throughout the world. It's harder too because there are more people now than there used to be. Higher costs in gas means theres higher costs in everything because you need gas to transport all your goods. Without gasoline we'd lose it.

5)What are the five elements of a story?
The five elements of a story are a plot, characters, setting, a conflict and a theme. You need all of these in order to help make a story make sense.

movie review

Movie Title: The Fifth Element

This movie takes place in the future in another world and is about A fifth element which is a girl who is 'perfect'. She Is basically the key to defeating evil, she was created and engineered to do good. Evil is after the fifth element and the four element stones which are retreived from a blue girl (i forgot her name. ) Evil wants to conquer the universe but there are some good people who are trying to prevent things from going bad so they in the end restore things to how they were and everyone lives in happiness.

Riot in Haiti

If I had to choose between starving silently and rioting for food I would definently riot!
Sometimes violence is the way to get through people who can't understand that you will DIE without food, or at least those who chose to ignore the situation. Violence can make people react faster to the situation while putting them under pressure.
Rioting is the way to go if you'd like to get fed, at least in Haiti it is.

Poem.

Dot's here &there.

Dot's that look like pot's and plant's and lamp's like a map.

Silly how people seem to fall,

but really they're just mannquin dolls.

A face so pale so gorgeous, delicious.

The eyes will always keep watch,

just like the whale that whails ever so frail,

by the face you can't replace,

that's in this place you cant misplace.

Singing no song, but filled with no wrong.

Yes, those eyes that pierce through walls.

Those dot's that are here &there,

they will never compare.

I decided to post this poem because a lot of people wanted to read it so I said to just look at my blog.

more pictures.

Pictures

I think that this is a good picture because I took it while the sun is in the background giving my friend Paloma a sihouette. I also gave the camera a different angle by making it look up just a little. Also because she is smiling and she never smiles for my photographs!

T

This is an example of of a bad picture because i took it without her posing, and i had popped up like a paparazzi to take a horrible picture that isn't really real.

Sobe Thriller AD

In this commercial there is a dark skinned girl wearing a shiny dress; the top is covered with silver while the short skirt is thin and flutters easily by any movement. The girl has straight jet black hair and is carrying a bright red Life Water bottle. After her high heels click noisily a scaily dark green cricket follows her every step. She opens the bottle quickly with a radiant smile. As she sets it down the water splashes and a fiery red lizard pops out and gives it a gulp in mid air. His eyes suddenly turn dark and evil as if he were in a trance. Thriller by Michael Jackson is in the background while the lizard along with many other lizards and the woman start dancing to this song.
The person who created this message is SOBE, but it could have involved both girls and boys, probably someone younger than 30.
This commercial had fun, humor, celebrities, nature, music, sexy, and cartoon as their creative techniques.
Probably a racist person wouldnt like the idea of a black girl instead of a white one. Or also someone who is very environmental wouldn't like this and think its a waste to buy flavoured water.
A lifestyle i see is of having fun and listening to older music, dancing, and being sexy.
I think the message is being sent so you can go enter their website along with buying the product.
In this video i saw a girl dancing with lizards to the Thriller song because they drank Life Water. I think both girls and boys created this message and thought that it would satisfy the public. Mostly fun, humor and celebrity were omitted in this message. There are some people who probably woulnt feel comfortable watching this commercial like racist or environmental people. This message would make people want to dance. Also, this message is trying to get you to buy their Life Water maybe because it brings out the music in you.

In this picture there is a colored man walking out onto the metro, after buying his ticket. He’s wearing a black old fashioned hat matching nicely with his dark overcoat and a white collared shirt followed along by light khaki pants; and wrapped around his neck is a black filled tie with red flowers. He is carrying another suit on the back of his shoulder, as if it weighed only a few pounds in the light of the metro. Having a weird expression on his face as if he were puckering his lips and looking towards the sky as though he has seen something completely amazing, he holds on gently to his ticket as he walks out of the booth.

About Mulan..

Some of the values I had seen in the movie Mulan were their lifestyle; they went by morals to honor their families. Mulan is rejected by the matchmaker, so she’s really sad, and tries to bring honor to her family by saving China! Also, the way they dress has to do a lot with their values, you couldn’t just walk up around china wearing a t-shirt and jeans if you were a girl. (so mean!)I think that the person who created Mulan had done a lot or research on the country, or had been a formal habitant of China. Since the person who made Mulan must have wanted to make the main value be family, I’m sure it’s someone who also values family, or else I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t have wanted you to see in this perspective, family is important. This movie has a mixture of both truth and fiction. There are no talking dragons, there are a lot of superstitions, which could, but may not be true. “Bringing honor” to the family was common in china. Confucius in writing Jen, wanted to lead people to having manners and being kind. Mulan gave up what she had to fight for china and her father, who is now older, and a bit incapacitated.

If you were the supreme ruler of the world, what would I do to change the relationship between the US Mexico border?

If I was the supreme ruler of the world, what would I do to change the relationship between US&Mexico's border region..? Thats a tough one. There's many ways I could change the border. For instance, I could create a party which would search for any undocumented immigrants throughout the United States, who would become directly deported !!! And while theyre being deported I would play my harmonica while they march away!! Another way I could change things is by lowering the pay of visas, but strengthening our border! I would make the border bigger &taller than the wall of china!! I would hire more border patrol agents to patrol the area, and if the immigrants want to come underground I would have a metal fence that reaches 15 ft. underground the wall so that people don't go diggin under it. Or another way I could help is by changing the mexican government, they should create new jobs for the unemployed, and supply them with housing, food, &education so that they don't have to worry about coming over to the United States. I shall free them from poverty, because I can. :D

How can HTH help the border region?

Do you honestly think kids could make a difference?
My question is why not?
Kids have so much potential, we will someday become grown-ups, we will discover so much ! And through that process wouldn't it be neat if you could help someone along the way? Yeah. HTHCV has students who are willing to make a difference for the better of the world. We want to help the border region over in Tijuana; firstly, our main plan (which is in progress) is making a toy drive for the poor children in Mexico. We could all try to help by teaching these kids things that will be useful throughout their lives, like the habits of the heart and mind. This is how I belive we can help the border region.

What are stereotypes &where do they come from?

Stereotypes are something or a person relating to those styles they are most commonly associated with. For example, the group that such person or thing belongs to, regardless of whether that perception is true. Stereotyping can be said to be a way of discrimination, when in reality it is a natural "structure" used by people to better understand the world. This is why when someone says "hockey player" you think of a white guy, or "rapper" and you think of a black guy, or "city" and you think of things like skyscrapers.
I belive stereotypes come from television, and other people who spread this stereotyping game over to everyone like an infectuous disease. It doesn't always necissarily mean it is a bad thing, but other people can become offended by any un-mindful comment.

Why does the world have borders ?¿

I wonder why the world has borders.
Can you imagine a world without them ?
It`s hard to picture this. You might be thinking that everythign would be better for the world; or you might think that it´s the way in which we can destroy our precious planet. I mean if you think about it, there are borders just about everywhere. Just how our dogs mark their territory, we do also. I think we make borders so that there won`t be intrusion in our personal space. It`s like not having doors in our houses or in your bathrooms and rooms. It`s uncomfortable and insecure. Everyone wants borders. I mean if you look at it this way, the romans, the egyptians, the chinese, the greeks, the indians they all had some type of borders! Yeah, since wayy back then; so maybe it`s something that comes in a sort of natruality. What we use them for is for separating territories. We then we think of: the people. We choose to name other people “illegals” even though we´re all humans. If we didn`t have borders, you would have everyhting vandilized, everything would look really different, and in bad ways.
This is why I think we have borders.

Harms !

One of the main ways Mexico is harming the United States is by the exportation of illegal drugs throughout the Mexican-American border, which has been continued for the past years between both countries. Mexico has been distinguished being the primary distributer of these subtances to the USA; but we must be well aware that the USA is also the primary consumer of these very same drugs.
So I think that if Mexico affects the USA the USA affects Mexico with this purchase, and also they as a country affect themselves one another now that Mexico needs a worker to found &raise their crops which involves many people who dedicated themselves to legally plant and work let themselves become bribed knowing their future will only be poverty. This leads to the corruption of those peasants and expanding the corruption to those in their country, damaging our future, which are our children.
This is how I believe how they harm each other due to the fact that they are frontiers. And there is the facility of the contrabander of drugs and of course taking advantage of a rich country like ours with the corruption that exists in Mexico and Mexcio at its time taking advantage of the riches and the interests that are part of the United States.

Smuggling

Smuggling Fruit over the Mexican border is an illegal act according to a policy of the Mexican American border. If you bring fruits &certain meats to the US illegally, you will have to pay a fine about four times it's legal price. The reason they forbid certain fruits across the border is because of certain diseases &insects they may contain. It helps a lot to not allow these foods becasuse it can prevent us from becoming sick, making it a better environment for everyone. :]

The border between two worlds.

When you cross the border, it goes by in a flash. One moment you're in a completely different world: San Diego, crossing by those grand beach palm trees; The next you're in Tijuana: passing by those little souvenir stores, where everyone roams the streets.
They're both beautiful yet unique at the same time.
If you pay attention in San Diego our houses are built with wood. In Mexico, most of their houses are built with bricks.
Everything seems so organized here. But when you go to the other side things are hectic, but it's not hard to get used to. TJ is like houses stuck with stores &buildings; everything is close by but there are so many people and so many cars it's sometimes hard to get around. But there's just something about it that makes you want to go back!! (Except for the line..)
San Diego is really pretty too. Everything isn't so crowded, and things aren't too close by but they're not exactly far away either. One of my favorite parts of SD is downtown. It's so awesome! The buildings are so tall, and you have the bay right there all for your eyes. There's so many places to go &so much to do. But downtown isn't the only place that's fun. You can go just about anywhere and have a great time &enjoy yourself :].
