Lab #19







I think 100 years from now, the present generations will critically judge our generation whether it be disbeliefs, or agreements. They will probably disagree with the war in Iraq as most of us do right now, because by then, they will have thought of better ways and will make it easier to compromise instead of physically going in to fighting. I also think they will judge us on our obsession with the media and the ideal figures that we see in it. The people would probably be a lot happier with who they are, then try to be someone else. They will also probably laugh at our forms of transportation and technological aspects of our lives because they will have bigger, or smaller and more advanced than us. Many age-limit laws probably won't exist causing younger individuals to have more freedom because they will make some sort of gene that will allow the upcoming generation to be more intelligient and reliable. Sometimes I like to think that it will go back to how it was in the 60's because it was such an awesome time period, and even now-a-days we like to bring in some of these aspects into our lives.




I guess we will just have to wait and see what the future holds!

a few words in Swahili: 
Hujambo (Hi/Hello), leo (today) mimi (I)  uawa (destroyed) simba (lion) na (with) angu (my) mikono (hands)... Sasa (now) mimi (I) tuta (will) yaa (take a nap/doze) katika (inside) kipanda (hut)

It should be noted that in Swahili the articles "the" "a" and "an" have no translation...

Lab 19

Slavery, the Holocaust, the US Civil War; So much time is put into studying examples of the past. How could we have let these things happen? How could things ever have been so bad in the world? When people watch Hotel Rwanda they often get upset and feel as though something like that could never exsist in a world they live in. They wouldn't stand for things so horible excisting in the world.

What if I told you that the horrible things you think about when you look at past genocides and hate crimes are just as promonent as ever? There is no point looking at past conflicts that we have had without trying to use our knowledge to help the world around us. There are many things that in the future our generation will be judged for. Some things such as the civil war in Sudan, the US's involvement in Iraq, and poverty around the world will be looked at in the future as terible problems like today we look at things in the past like the Holocaust.

Our generation has been described as not caring about the world, just focused themselves and material items. We can't let this be the way history classes in 100 years discribe our world today.
