Is War Ever Necessary?
I believe that war is sometime necessary and sometimes is not. War is one of the main things going on in this World today. We have a lot of war going on between different countries because of disagreements and threats. But if we all just sit down and discuss our thoughts and opinion and try to relate to one another point of view then we wouldn’t have to go to war. It’s really not as hard as you think not if you have faith and put some action to it. But then you got some people who don’t understand or just hateful, that’s when you got to step in their place and go to war. So my answer is both yes and no.
How My Life Would Be Different
My life would be different in so many ways if revolution never occurred. If revolution hadn’t occurred then I wouldn’t be able to vote, no religious group, I wouldn’t even know about the moons, stars, and planets. I wouldn’t have freedom of speech if it wasn’t for Revolution. United State wouldn’t be protected, and racism would have still been going on. I’m very glad that Revolution has occurred now I feel safe and relaxed and can go out and buy things like food, clothes, and pets; which Revolution happens to make it possible for.

Columbian Exchange
The European exploration and colonization has change the landscape and lives forever for the New and Old World. Because of the exchange the New World can go on diets. There are so many recipes that include the New World and the Old World like chocolate chip cookies, Strawberry milk shake, and salsa. With this exchange we are now welling to try new recipes and create more of it.

The Unknown Place Out of Space
If it was 2020 and I and an astronaut was ask to lead a voyage out of space which is unknown, the answer would be no. Not to be mean or anything, but who would want to go some place where they are not sure they could survive. Being rewarded with the fame and being known to be one of the first to travel out of space to the unknown place would be interesting, but if there where aliens shooting at us, for finding their unknown place wouldn’t be as interesting at all. I just wouldn’t go because there’s a better chance of not coming out safe then there is surviving. For all we know we could disappear out in the mist with out any survivors or evidence.

The Printing press and Spread of knowledge
The printing press has made a great effect on our knowledge today. Because of the printing press we where able to afford the books and read them for ourselves .With the printing press people were able to learn better grammar and publish more books at a time. It has set many inventions for writing technique. We now use a computer to type and learn; thanks to the printing press we were able to come up with something similar but quicker. Using the printing press was a relief for those who had to publish the books. But using the computers to day is much easier and fun. Because of the invention of the printing press we now developed the knowledge to invent computers. And later on in the future computers will develop a new knowledge to invent something even quicker and knowledgeable than we ever could image in our minds.

Carpe Diem
I do agree with the Latin saying carpe diem. Because what they‘re saying is to enjoy the present and don’t worry about the future. Most people get all worked up about something that hasn’t even come around yet. That’s why I try my best to enjoy the moment because tomorrow’s not promise. We don’t know what might happen to us in the next five or three years from now, so why plan it or stress about it. I just think that everybody should enjoy every moment in there life because we don’t know what the future holds, that’s why I agree so strongly with the Latin.

Religion Visits
Islamic
The trip to the Islamic center was different from my church but it was still similar in some ways. The Islamic church had no chairs in the prayer area because they pray standing up then they bend over to the front then nail down on the floor with their heads and on their needs. The guest speaker was very friendly and kind to us all. When we first showed up to the church they greeted us with smiles. We had to take off our shoes before we enter the prayer room, which was interesting. The building was ordinary but the inside was like we where at, their own city. The rug was beautiful and soft. The guest speaker had no problem asking our questions like how many times do you pray a day, which is five times, and while we where asking questions another guy came in and shared cold fresh bottles of water for each and every one of us. I really enjoyed coming to the Islamic church.
Judaism
The visit at the Congreation of Children of Israel was very interesting. Soon as we enter we where shocked because it was so beautiful and neat. There were a lot of symbols of Judaism. The guest speaker was glad to have us there, which was good for me because I was glad to be there. He answer one of my question with no problem telling me their most celebrated hoilday is Rosh Hashanah, a New Year anniversary of the creation of the world. It was very interesting learning some things i had no ideal about, like how they read and open their books backwards. I enjoyed myself here as well.

Catholic
The Catholic church was pretty big and had a lot of symbols of The Virgin Mary, they even had her on a Cross. The guest speaker was kind and very sharing. There where a lot of different frames of Jesus and Mary. Each frame had a meaning to it. There where one frame that I couldn't take my eyes off of, and that was a picture of Jesus carring the Cross. We didn't have much time left to stay and learn but the little time that I was there was pleasant. There were a section where the people bow down to Virgin Mary and ask for her help with their propblems.Visiting the Catholic Church was interesting to me because once when I was little I had went to a Catholic school, so it gave me some flash backs when we use to pray in the Church.

Religions Does Exist
Religions do exist in this whole wide world. I believe it exist because there are many different churches of different kinds of practices. There are Catholicism, Islam, Muslim, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, and Christianity and so on. I am part of the Christianity religion and I have some of my family members Muslim, Catholic, and Buddhism. These religions do exist because we see some religions dressed different and follow different paths. Our history is our religion something we was raised on. Our religion also comes from our faith in what we believe. I know religion exist because there are still disagreements in our world and how we live.

CIVILIZED
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE CIVILIZED? WELL, TO ME IT MEANS TO BE POSITIVE AND FOLLOW YOUR RELIGION,WHICH WILL HELP YOU ON THE RIGHT PATH. TO HAVE AN GOVERNMENT TO LEAD YOU THROUDH BATTLES. AND LAWS TO PROTECT YOU AND OTHERS FROM THOSE WHO DON'T MAKE GOOD CHOICES. GOOD MANNERS IS ALSO BEING CIVILIZED, BECAUSE IT HELP TO BUILD UP YOUR SOCIAL SKILLS AND RESPECT TO OTHERS AND YOURSELF. THERE ARE MORE THINGS FOR BEING CIVILIZED BUT I'M GOING TO STOP HERE. YOU CAN BE CIVILIZED BY CHOOSING RIGHT FROM WRONG.
