           Can newspapers and now television stir up so much feeling that they can create wars? I have two views to this. I do believe that this can be possible but I don't think it is likely to happen in our world today. I think this can happen because sometimes workers can say their own opinions on television and they can write things in newspapers. People can write misleading information. I think it can’t start a war because it’s not like the public can go on television or on a newspaper and express their opinions.

            If I lived in Europe I wouldn’t think that the U.S became a great world power by defeating Spain because Europe isn’t a bad place. I would just think they had to protect more land and control more people. I would think that Europe is good enough because it has diversity.  They have different places with different cultures and I think the U.S is bigger but it doesn’t mean they better. 

Japan's Disaster.

                                                      Japan's moment of destruction

           In the afternoon of Friday, March 11, 2011, Japan faced one of the most destructive natural disasters in history. An earthquake of magnitude 8.9 hit, which triggered a tsunami of 23 feet. This occurred in northeast Japan in Sendai. Hundreds and hundreds were killed as the big wave dragged them as well as ships, cars, and homes. Many fires were triggered when the wave tore Sendai apart. Areas around the nuclear power plants had to be evacuated and millions are now left homeless.

          Japan is struggling to return everything back to how it was but that won’t be easy. They are dealing with this problem in many ways. Japan is having outside help from places like the United States, Columbia and Mexico. Workers in Japan are trying to lower the heat of the nuclear power plant by using water. People are also organizing rescue teams to go find missing people, clean ups, and returning people to their country of origin.

          The nuclear power plants are one of the main concerns right now. The problem is that nuclear power plants are releasing radiation that is harmful to both humans and the environment.  A cooling system has failed and can’t cool them down. People that are in the surrounding areas have been evacuated at least 2 miles away. They are focused on returning everything to normality.

Booker T. Washington and W.E.B DuBois

   Booker T. Washington                W.E.B DuBios

                   W.E.B Dubois and Booker T. Washington had different approaches because Washington gave importance to economic power while Dubois focused on political power to gain rights. Washington said that African Americans needed to have education to actually get somewhere in life. He helped the African Americans socially by the creation the Tuskegee Institute in 1881. The institute helped African Americans learn farming and industrial skills. He thought differently than DuBois because their lifestyle and the way they thought. They both had their own ideas on how to gain rights for the African Americans.

                     The other person who worked for the rights of  African Americans was W.E.B DuBois. Dubois formed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People(NAACP). This group helps to build efforts of legal and economic equality for African Americans. DuBois ran for important positions to continue his progress. He would do what he could to keep the African Americans protected but he had different approaches from Washington.
