To be completely honest I don't really know what psychology is and that is definitely something that I want (need) to find out. Also, I would like to find out what types of careers go with this field of study and why it's needed. I want to know why people think that this is an important subject to teach to high school kids and what can we gain from becoming more knowledgeable about this subject. I think that this will be a very interesting course and I'm excited to get into the meat of it. When I first heard that we were taking this class I was hoping that it would teach me mind games that I could use on my brother and the rest of my family. Even though the more I hear about what we'll be learning makes me feel like I won't be studying those types of things. I think that we'll be learning about emotions and brain reactions, which I find very interesting. Our teacher is very interested in this field and is excited to teach us this subject which usually makes everything better, easier to learn, and a lot more interesting. The teachers enthusiasm usually rubs off on the students that he/she is teaching. That's kind of interesting to think about if you ask me, how attitude can rub off on others around you. Maybe that will be in one of our psychology lessons.

Platoon is one of my all-time favorite movies because it depicts the Vietnam War and the effects it had on the soldiers. I think that quote is saying that all the internal conflicts within our military and our country is what really lost that war for us. It's hard enough to fight two countries in general, but it's even harder when one of those countries is your own. I believe that a country should support government decision because in all reality, there's no changing it, and if you don't support it, stay quiet about it.
Also, I liked how the movie gave us and in-depth look at the internal conflicts that the soldiers themselves had. Once you go through something like that, there's no forgetting it, there's no escaping it. That is why so many soldiers turned to the bottle when they got home. It was cheaper and less time consuming than counseling, and you usually had other guys that were in the military around you.
I think that was Charlie Sheen meant by the "possession of the soul" was that they were in the fight of Charlie's lively hood and everything that he once believe in. They wanted to change him and make him a soldier, they both just had different views on what a soldier was and how they should act.
It's no lie that war can make people crazy. Two people in this movie were killed by non-accidental friendly fire due to the stresses that were put on their mind and body. They murdered and raped a whole village because that was their way of relieving their stress and anxiety. Is that okay? No, but they didn't think that they had anywhere else to turn and probably didn't think that what they were doing was wrong. Some soldiers drank, some smoked pot, but they would do anything just to feel better, like they were normal again. Some even faked injuries just to catch a break from the craziness that surrounded them.
I think that Charlie feels like he developed from both Elias and Barnes. He picked up two different views on war from both of them. Which one was right? There is no telling. Maybe they were both right in different ways, maybe they were both wrong. Either way, they both affected their platoon with both of their views and tactics. Barnes was tough and hard on the soldiers, Elias was more mellow and had compassion for his soldiers because he knew what they were dealing with. Whether that movie was accurate or not, it was very good and I've learned quite about from it. I think the way it was written was ingenious and I would like to see what an actual Vietnam vet has to say about it and the way that it was filmed. I wonder if they find those movies accurate and happy that they are around, or if they find them offensive and oppressing. I'm sure some writers got most of their ideas from actual vets, at least I hope they did anyway. I think our Vietnam vets at least deserve that.

I believe that America lost its innocence long before the JFK assassination. No countries have complete innocence, no matter how peaceful they may seem. Internal conflicts in a country can tear it apart and effect the whole world depending on how powerful the country may be. In this instance, America is a very powerful country and JFK was a very powerful leader, and many people had the hopes that he would create world peace; starting by pulling the troops out of Vietnam.
I think that this assassination really shook the American people. People lost faith in the American government and in the country. Why would you assassinate your own leader? Someone who wanted to end wars and push America into a better economy. I don't understand it, and neither did anyone else. People were scared for what was to come of the American future, and with good reason. What happens in America can impact the whole world. Maybe if JFK wasn't assassinated there wouldn't have been a long, drawn out Vietnam war and many lives could have been saved. Maybe our economy would be stronger, and healthier. Then again maybe I'm wrong, but to tell you the truth, I wish we could have found out.
I think that the assassination of JFK and 9/11 were two very different things. They both happened in different eras and on different circumstances. Though they did have some very serious similarities. For one, security for both situations did not do its job. They both created violence in the American public and allowed the US to start or maintain a war. Both instances have many conspiracy theorists. But in my opinion; no, I don't think the government did 9/11. I think taking that many lives in that type of way is too risky for any type of country to pull off. Plus, 9/11 didn't have the same amount of evidence and witnesses that the JFK assassination did. I also don't think that Americans blamed themselves for this either. Everyone wants to find something to blame, and in this instance, it was the Taliban. Which I don't think that Americans were the ones to blame for this anyway. But these two tragedies were no doubt very hard on the American public and they were handled by the American people in similar ways.
I think the government was behind the killing of JFK. At first, I thought that there was no way our own government would do that, but after watching some documentaries, it became a very real possibility to me. I've always been taught and always wanted to believe that the government wanted the best for this country, but as I grow older and get more into politics, I've seen what the government wants - and that's power. They want power over the people, they want power over the country, and they want power over the world, and the will obtain that at any cost, right or wrong. I think that the American government has to cheat and lie to get where, and what it wants. And it's been working. But how much longer can this happen, how much longer can the American people stand the government cheating, hiding, and keeping secrets from us? Us! The people who fund the whole operation, and are told that we are the government. I don't feel like I' m the government to be honest. If I were the government, if you were to government, if we all were really the government we wouldn't have to wait to see the JFK assassination files until 2029 when most of the people who witnessed it will be gone. If we were the government we wouldn't have to choose from a presidential pool of idiots. If we were the government, there would be a lot of change that isn't happening for us right now. But going along with all of that, the government likes violence. It creates money and gets our blood going, and it presents perfect opportunities to cover something up. War makes our government millions and puts tons of people to work, which is good for all of us.
I don't think that its any coincidence that RFK and MLK were killed in the following years. They spoke out powerfully against the government and that had to end in the eye of our government. I think that they were both assassinated by the heads of the country because of their power. This just goes to show that freedom of speech isn't really free and that even though the Declaration declares that if the people are not happy with their government, they can get a new one, it really does come down to one thing, and that's whatever the government wants. That is something that we will just have to live with for now, and probably forever. I don't think that just one man or women can overthrow the government, it needs to be a whole nation of people.
After saying all of this I do want it to be noted that I love my country and feel very fortunate that this is where I live. There are many places where people do not have a voice at all, and I will still fulfill my rights as a citizen of the US.

There are many similarities concerning the Nixon and Trump rallies. Both believed that these violent outbreaks would help their vote tallies and it did in the long run. The Democrats tried taking advantage of these outbreaks by taking the side of the people and minorities that were offended by the Republican Party. Trump and Nixon both took the side of the police and used them to their advantage. Minorities despised both Trump and Nixon, but they are both very respected and powerful men. I believe that Trump has the guts to pull countries together and clever enough to help ease our debt. I could definitely see Trump trying to do something like The Watergate Scandal in order to win election. I know that people try comparing Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler, but I think his actions are very similar to Nixon's.

As a human being, no matter what your orders are, I cannot believe that something like this was allowed to happen. I don't see how you can put innocent people through these terrible acts and still be able to live with yourself. Poisoning people with various diseases and trying to recreate a Black Plague is something straight out of a horror movie.
Why these people were not charged is far past my knowledge. I don't see why it is right to be able to allow these people to continue their lives just for some information on biological warfare, information that is so horrendous that it shouldn't be used in any type of war. That type of information should have been destroyed along with the camp and all of its guards and "scientist". For something like this to happen in the 20th century is unimaginable and for a super power like America to let this happen is very discouraging, but in the eyes of our government it's all about gaining the upper hand.
I'm not the one to complain about war and fighting, but this is something else. This isn't war, this was extermination, this was sickening acts of human violence that I can only see punishable by an eternity in Hell because that is what those prisoners had to go through. Even if the people responsible were convicted, they didn't deserve death, they deserved to be treated like those prisoners for the rest of their lives. I wonder if theses acts of violence committed ever ate away at these scientist after they were free?
I think the apology to China was the least that these that the Japanese government should've done, and as an American, I believe that the Japanese should've been convicted. Dropping the bombs on them was a favor compared to what they put people through. I don't blame China for being angry at Japan and America because we both let this happen without punishment for something that took dignity away from a whole race of people. Not to mention all of the European and the U.S. troops that were tortured and killed there also.

As we prepare for war, remember these things. We are all derive from our allies, from the countries that they are from. We have made a deal with these countries that we shall protect each other at all costs. Who knows, maybe some day we will need their assistance.
We can't let evil continue to rule the would, such as the group Black Hand who murdered the Archduke in front of thousands of his own people. Someday that could be us and our president falling at the hands of terrorism. It is our duty as the greatest country in the world to protect it with our lives, no matter what the outcome is. You all may have family in Great Britain, France, or Italy and we shall do anything that we can to help family and the lives of innocent civilians.
But if you are going to remember one thing from all that I have wrote, remember this. We are America, we are hated and loved at the same time because we are the greatest world power and we will not be defeated. We help others in need because that is the type of responsibility that we have when we are in a position like this. We didn't get this powerful by sitting back and going with the flow, we took command and we did what was needed to be done. Now is the time that something needs to be done, and we are going to do it.

This article is about the FDA approving drugs that are supposed to extend the lives of cancer patients. The thing is, these drugs have not been proven to do that. A 69 year old cancer patient conceded to trying the drugs for an experiment in hopes that the drugs would extend his life. This was not the case. Less than 4 months after starting on the drug he experience abdominal pains and was admitted into the hospital, he died later that day from internal gastrointestinal bleeding.
The drug that was made to lengthen this man's life might have hastened it. So this leaves the question, how does the FDA, an agency that is supposed to look out for our well-being, approve a drug that isn't proven to help us, and may actually hasten the lives of cancer patients? The muckraker in charge of this article John Fauber, read more about it at: http://www.jsonline.com/watchdog/watchdogreports/fda-approves-cancer-drugs-without-proof-theyre-extending-lives-b99348000z1-280437692.html
