Final blog post

Uhhh I feel kind of sadness by realising that I finished this class. This class impacted me very well. I learned so many things about America. I learned the basics of how the U.S. government is set up, like having three different groups (executive, legislative, and judicial) to make sure no one gets too much power, I learned how we elect our leaders, including the President, using something called the electoral college. We talked about how important it is to have rights and freedom. The class focused on some of the big laws that protect our rights, like freedom of speech. It was interesting to see how the voting process works. We talked about the different groups in politics and how they have different ideas. There are two main parties, and they have their own beliefs and ways of doing things. I learned about the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court what each one does and how they work together. I learned too many things but those which mentioned above was the most interesting topics for me.

Self grading:

The biggest challenge for me blogging. First 3 weeks a was completely disoriented, I didn’t know what to write, but after I had online meeting with professor I went a bit well than before. And I completely forget to include citations. But each week to write that blogs I used to do lots of research, I learned so many new things. And I think I deserve 14 points

My participation was quite well, I skipped just 4 classes, I think I deserve 8 points.

I did 2 online tests, translate week of slides, protest poster and meme. I got 14 from first midterm, 7 for slides translation, 10 for protest poster, 15 for meme, and 14 for final midterm and 5 for intro slide.

My total point is: 87

week 11

In this I’d like to talk about current situation in Palestine and Israel, and how USA impacts the war. As we all know there is a war that took already more than 10000 lives. I believe that US can welly affect that war, As I mention in my protest poster, America aided Israel 14.3 billion USD, that’s ridiculous. In the interview with the CNN Donald Trump said “US should take hands off approach to the Israel Hamas war”. And in my opinion before funding wars USA should pay attention to the cleanliness of the cities, to the rough roads. I feel so sad when the taxes that we pay is being used to kill innocent people.

week 9

State and federal courts both have their functions in the United States legal system, which functions something like a two-in-one. Before the United States Constitution, every state had its own set of laws.

The American dual court system is like two railroads running side by side. State and federal courts both report to the highest court in the land—the United States Supreme Court. The plan is to distribute authority between the federal government and the individual states. The two primary categories of issues that courts handle are criminal and civil. In matters related to federal legislation or constitutional disputes, federal courts intervene. State courts deal with common issues such as family law violations, personal grievances, and legal disputes.

From its ancient colonial origins, the American legal system has developed into a complicated web. Navigating the kinks of American justice requires an understanding of its structure, problems, and the function of state laws.

Protest poster

I decided to choose this topic because it really upsets me. This topic is about Israel-Palestine war and how America funding Israel . The Ministry of Health in Ramallah says more than 10,000 Palestinians have died in the military campaign launched in response by Israel (CNN). Gaza has one of the youngest populations in the world, with 47% under 18 years old, and the health ministry is reporting that as of November 6, 4,104 children have been killed. UN officials estimate that as of November 5, about 1,270 children have been reported missing and may be trapped under rubble (CNN). The latest violence has caused more than 1,200 deaths in Israel and at least 14,800 in Gaza as of Nov. 23, according to authorities on both sides. Compare this loses I think that USA funding and supporting Israel is so unfair. According to CNN $14.3 billion were aid for Israel. And don’t think that I’m nationalist or I’m discriminating, I like all people regardless their religion, nation or skin colour. I’m just against the death of innocent people.

I think that I deserve 10 points, because my poster is creative my statement is clear. Citations are all meet requirements. But still I would like to hear professor’s comment because there maybe some mistakes that I didn’t notice.

Blog week 7

I didn’t attend last class. So this blog is really challenging for me. But still let me explain you what is congress and how it’s working. Congress is like a big decision-making group in the United States. It helps make the rules and laws that everyone in the country follows. Think of it as a giant team where people work together to make America a better place.

Congress has two parts: the House of Representatives and the Senate. The House has lots of members who represent different areas, while the Senate has fewer members. They are like the superheroes of your town or state, working to make things better for you.

Congress talks about ideas that can become laws. They discuss things like school rules, how much money the country can spend, and even big decisions like going to war. They listen to what people need and try to find solutions.

Blog week 5

These days lgbt become increasingly popular among society. First let me mention that I don’t have anything against lgbt community. But the problem is propaganda of lgbt. The lgbt propaganda is everywhere, in the parks, schools, kindergartens. The most crucial thing, they teach little children that they can choose their own gender and etc. Ex president of USA Donald trump in one his speeches said “No teacher should ever be allowed to teach transgender to our children without parental consent”. I’m totally agree with him. Because I wouldn’t like if someone says to my little brother that he can marry to another man, or he can be woman or something between male and female. As I told before I got nothing against lgbt community. If you are non binary it’s okay just keep it in yourself no need to persuade others to be like you. And I support civil rights, every person should be treated equally. When it comes to educating young children, it’s especially important to recognise the delicate balance between increasing awareness and enabling people to express their identities and respecting the values and views of others.
