Qustion of the global mall

2010-03-08T22:10:00.001-08:00

• Tell us how much money you had to begin with ($200, $1000, or $2500) How did it feel to have more or less money than other people in the class? What did you spend the most money on and why? What did you spend the least amount of money one and why?

If I have less money than others, I wouldn’t feel like I needed to have more because I don’t need stuff that is too expensive. I think money has to be used in the right way, so I spent the most on education because I think education is very important for your future. We can’t live without a job. I spent less on food, because, I don’t think we have to eat that much per day. I think rice is the most important food.

• How many of you could not afford education? What would your lives be like if you could not go to school?  

If I can’t go to school, I’ll lose a lot of knowledge, and have no friends to social with. I also will have no job for me to do too. No one can live without a job.

• What were some of the trade-offs in your decisions and choices? In other words did you have to make certain sacrifices in order to buy other things you needed or wanted? (For example: buying purified water in order to afford to send your children to a better school)How would it feel to have to choose between food and health care?

For me I had choose to pay more for my education and use less for my food and water because I think education is more important then everything else. It is about your future.

• How many of you have ever been very sick or gone to a hospital or had friends and family who have? What would your life be like now if you had been unable to get medical care?

When I was in grade 1 I had a very bad fever and If there was no medical care for me, I think now I would still have to stay in hospital for a long time.

• When you were choosing what to buy, did you think about the environmental impact? For those of you in the lowest income range, did you have a choice about the environmental impact you produced? If not, how did it feel to not have a choice??

Yes, If it will hurt the environment more then I will care, because we are cutting down too many trees and using too many natural resources. But something that doesn't affect the environment then I won't.

Science: What would a day in your life be like without electricity?

2009-05-07T01:30:00.000-07:00

without light we can't not see anything with sun, the earth will be dark all the day, then all the plants or animals will soon died, also people!! Plants need light to survive and some of the animals too!!
For people:
- They can't watch TV, They can't use cell phone, They can't use gas, They can't use computer, They can't use anything they has to do with electricity, and hot plates without those stuff they can't eat and see
then we need to use candle or something that can light up like fire.
Without electricity then our life will be really hard to survive.

Is air matter? Why or why not? (science)

2008-09-23T02:04:00.000-07:00

matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. so, in order to prove that air

matter, we need to prove that air has mass and takes up space.

we can get a balloon while go ahead and inflate the balloons with air

.balloon lost its air in a very calm, controlled fashion without sending its balloon guts all over the room. The end of the meter stick with the deflated balloon should have risen into the air. It did this because there was less mass in the balloon after it deflated. The only way the balloon could have lost mass is if the air that was inside it has mass.

Why Movie Stars Offer the Clothes Off Their Backs??

2008-09-09T02:15:00.000-07:00

Conceived through a series of pleas by designers, fittings, rejections and more pleas, given birth to on the red carpet — generally without a single dollar changing hands — the dress dies in a garment bag in the back of a closet. Its existence is often memorialized only by People magazine.that the proceeds could be used to benefit people other than the designers, who get considerable publicity from these events.!!!
