Why do civilizations have laws?

Some people woder why civilizations have laws. This is what I say. Without civilization we would all be dead because without laws you can do whatever you want and there are bad people in the world who wish there are no such things as laws. Everyone will get murdered everything will be a disaster.

Answering Mr Mcqueens questions


  • New Guinea has a disadvantage to the middle east because in the middle east they have better animals such as cows,sheep,goats and horses

  • NG(New Guinea) has the food that can be stored like taro.

  • NG has a tropical climate so it will rain more to make better crops




Connect Extend and Challenge

In humanities we watched a movie called guns,germs and steel. After the movie we wrote things we knew all along, New things we learned from the movie and any questions or lingering thoughts. At first I wasn't sure what I knew what the movie connected to my previous learning. After that I knew that animal droppings made good fertalizer. There were alot of new things that I learned. The first is wheat and barley is better then the taro root in New Guinea. Another thing I learned is that the people in New Guinea don't have much protein so they eat giant spiders to gain enough protein(ewww). My question is how did they learn how to farm did it come in a dream or just came to them just like that.

Advantages and disadvantages of New Guinea

I choose this headline because in New Guinea they don't have the environment to grow wheat and barley. The available food they can get is sago and taro. the problem is that sago takes a long time to turn into a kind of dough that they eat and its low on protein and taro rots quickly. Another disadvantage is that New Guinea does not have the animals that they can eat. The only protein they can eat are giant spiders. They don't have cows,sheep and goats like middle easterns do. The Natives of New Guinea have pigs. Which is good to eat but does not produce wool and fur. The advantages of New Guinea have productive crops and geographic luck.

What makes KL a civilization

In KL they have shelter(so we don't have to sleep in the outdoors, water(So we don't die of thirst), Food(So we don't die of hunger),transportation(So we don't have to walk everywhere) and technology( We can send email, call people with phones and cell phones etc), KL is also a civilization because KL is a city which works together to survive and thrive. Without those things we might never have KL!

Never leave your homework near your cat/dog/other pet

I know some teachers think students are crazy when they say "My dog/cat destroyed my homework". But some pets do that no lie. My cat did that about five times. I had to put my homework in my backpack when I'm going to to it later. After I did my homework my crazy cat chewed the newspaper(Lucky my parents wern't furious). Now the moral today is be carefull if you have a cat or dog who loves to chew/scratch they might leave your things destroyed.

Blogging about blogging

Hi this is a blog about blogging. Its about apropriate blogging, Who is reading your blog and how much info you want to put in your blog. Aproprite blogging is not typing mean blogs about someone you know(Cyber bullying). Blogging is not just writing to one person. Blogging is showing everyone what you write. Its best if you keep the things you don't wanto to say to your self(Maybe email them what happend). You shouldent show your personal infomation when your blogging because we will be safe and if you give your address to other people they might kidnap you.

SPCA

Yes I saw the slide show and it was very touching and shocking. I never knew people were that cruel. I am glad that SPCA's were invented. The freaky part of the slide show is youthinizing the abandoned pets. Ok now SPCA's in general. SPCA stands for Society Prevention to Animals. They take in abandoned animals. Some people can volunteer at the SPCA. If an animal stays to long they will be sleeping with the fish if you know what I mean. I think it will be fun to volunteer at a local SPCA.
