Today in class, we discussed the different countries of the world and the wars involving them. It was important to learn about this because not every kid knows how other countries including us have been effected by nuclear bombs, and terror threats. For example, I didn't know that we bombed Japan to put an end to World War 2. Was that the best approach we could come to conclusion to make in order to resolve the fight? Probably not considering that it killed thousands of people who were innocent, instantly. I mean it did give them a scare and make them surrender but we could have thought of a better way. Now we are probably seen as the country who could just bomb you any time. And it's good to have control, but we should be the country that all the other countries want to become. To many, we probably are, but I can't say much because I still need to learn more about those countries in order to make a logical statement. I look forward to learning more on the topic Mr. Schick!

In my opinion, I think at this age we are too young and immature to be asked and vote for political affairs, because honestly everyone would just think the same as their parents. You hear kids arguing politically, but you know it's just them tal...
