AMANDA ROSS


I don't know that much about the middle east, what I know is very little, and I learned it in SS9. They have a different culture then we do, the who live their speak a different language then we do. Their government is different from ours, their form of punishment is different, everything they do is different, to us it might seem bad but to them it seems right.
I heard people say that all people from the middle east are bad, and they should have people like them in our country. I also heard that people from there should be taken off this planet. Then I also hear that people from there aren't all bad, they just were taught differently then we were and they should be helped out.
I think terrorism is when other people from a different country attacks another country because they don't like they way it is or they don't like they people from there or they think they are better then that country. Also they are trying to get the world to see they way they do, and they only way they think they can do that is by taking over that country. they think that way because they were brought up thinking that.
Middle East and terrorism seem to go together because most countries who have gotten attacked or something along those lines by a country in the middle east. So people just asume that everyone from there are bad, and are going to attack us, which may be true, but unlikely, there are good and bad people from every country, that doesn't mean the whole country is bad.

  1. I like the fact that the both of us learned something about the Middle East in SS9 classes we were enrolled in last year. I like how you explained yourself. You didn't seem to hold back any of your thoughts. I agree with some of your thoughts and opinions. I just think because we are friends we share similar interests on certain subjects such as this one. Keep up the good work :).

  2. I think you were given a very broad view of the terrorism and the middle east in your ss9 class but all of the things you have stated are correct. Personally i think you should do some more research, you would be surprised by what you find Amanda :P.

  3. Amanda, This was a great post! I thought that this comment was particularly insightful: to us it might seem bad but to them it seems right. Nice job!
