Matter

air is matter. it has mass and volume. because when you blew up a balloon, the air actually fills up inside the balloon to make it bigger. And air actually have weight, which is air pressure. so i think that air is really a matter.

schindler's list movie

in the schindler's list movie. i see that mr. schindler changes from a person who only knows how to think for himself to a person who knows how to help and save other peoples life. i am really impress that he can think of others, especially they are jews, which shows more that he is a kind person. and i can see big different inside his mind from the beginning of the movie.
i can also see a big difference in the general. he change from a person who kills anyone he felt like. to a person who actually know how to think.

active learners

this week in our class. we go through the progress of our project. i have some of the questions done, but some i still have to search on them. it is really hard for me to search on information, because i am not a native speaker so it really makes me searching the informations harder, plus i get a country that didn't really involved in WWI. so i had to work harder on my project.

Burma dictatorship

in this article, i found out that the reason that Burma's dictatorship stay in power. the reason is "fear". Burma uses its military to kill people that don't obey them. so once there's a person try to start a revolution they kill them to let the people around them to be fear. since 1988, thousands of people had been killed because they try to go against the dictatorship in Burma.
after the cyclone passes, more people want to start a revolution, because they think the governments did not do a good job while the cyclone came, so Burma's politics is now in a mess. the idea of democracy had come on the stage again, to over throw the government.

earthquake in China

this article is about Taiwan sending resources to help the people that is hurt in the earthquakes. Taiwan send 11 tons of resources to China to help them. the major resources that is send includes: blankets, drinks, food, and jackets. it is really expensive to send resources from Taiwan to China, so most of the resources that is send, are resources that is really emergent.
and as time goes there will be more and more flights sending resources to China, and also pick up people that is stuck in the airport, so they can come back.

critical thinker

this week in class i am really being a critical thinker in the class. because when i find some informations, i have to think critically that how can this information help me to answer my question. it is really hard to find the answer that directly answers the questions, so i have to evaluate all the informations first than answer the question after, which involves a lot of critical thinking skill, so this week i found out i was really a critical thinker.
