Airport Security

X-Ray body searches would be the must efficiant search for airport security. The recent attempt bomb threat on the Amsterdam plane returning to America shows that these terrorists are not giving up their ways and that Securtity still needs to be strict. The X-Ray body searches will thouroghly search a person in places "the sun don't shine". Terrorism has changed the life of Americans because now people are paranoid of an attack or even a nuclear threat. Also now many American's are prejiduce twards muslim people. These muslim's are thought to be terrorists although it is only a small percentage.

WW1 effect on Europe

During WW1 Germany and Austria were much bigger countries than they are today. As an alliance they took up a lot of central Europe. After the war Austria was made a lot smaller and Germany as well lost land. Another change is that Austria was no longer AustriaHungry. One of the new countries formed after WW1 was Poland.

Darfur

Darfur is a current genocide that is happening in Sudan Africa. The government is killing anyone that is not of their religion which to me does not make sense because it would make their country much weaker. This may be a terrible conflict but the U.S. should stay out of this country because the U.S. has many problems of their own such as the current war. Darfur is a similar situation to the Halocaust in Europe which of course everyone knows. It seems Darfur did not listen to Germany's mistake.

Enviornmental Issues of North and South America

North America has one of the highest pollution rates in the world. Some of these pollution problems are exhaust and smoke pollution. Exhaust pollution could be less of a problem if more people resorted to hybrid cars. Smoke pollution could be stopped if factories were to limit the use of production.

South America has a high rate of deforestation. Many forests, including rain forests, are being destroyed. This could desroy habitats as well as natuaral resources. The reason why these forrests are being destroyed are because of land and wood.

New Jersey Election

Christie was elected as the govenor of New Jersey yesterday. This could cause a drastic change because of Corizine being a democrat and Christie being a Republican. Christie was the first republican elected in New Jersey in eleven years. Some of the changes that may happen with Christie is lower taxes. New Jersey has one of the highest taxes in America.
