To get an idea for which regions of the world are currently threatened by genocide, check out the United States Holocaust Museum's "Who's at Risk?"

The U.S should get involved with regions that are threatened by genocide for many reasons. One reason is that if one entire race or religion is lost, we lose a culture and things that may benefit us in the future. For example we may lose herbs or medicine which may be the cure diseases that are fatal now. Also if a lot of people get killed, one of the people that died might have grown up to be a scientist that developed a way to cure hereditary diseases. So those kids that got killed in the Holocaust could have been the saviors of many lives.

After we discuss the Rape of Nanking in class, check out the BBC article about the Japanese denial of this atrocity. Too often in classrooms around

We should be able to learn about all of history, and it should not be censored. because when the war or massacre happened it was not censored to the people that committed it. Also we are mature and smart enough to handle topics such as the Rape of Nanking. because if we were not then we would not be considered high school students.

acrostic poem

People came over
Rounding up the boos
Ooh no the popo are
Here run
Into the harbor
But don't forget
I was never Here
Tonight we go out
Into the town center we go
On to the world where
No police are there

Rolling with my friends
Out in the town
Alerting the flappers
Ruling the streets
In the town
No one stopping us
Going to the fun house

Tonight
We live it up
Entertainment is the key
No one is going to stop us
Tonight
Into the zone we
Escape for no one is
Eurrounding us tonight

Write a reflection on what you learned from the organized crime small group presentations.

During the organized crimes presentations I learned that the reason that the gangsters in the past succeeded. One reason is that the bosses had a well thought out plans that would be simple to accomplish by their workers. Another reason is that the cops and other legal Federal agents would be bought off. Also the system back then did not have good procedures, but that changed after the gangster era.
