Jihad or Holy War

In my understanding, Jihad is an idea of killing innocent people in the name of god. I believe that conflicts arise because one group or person disagrees with another. Jihad means Holy war. Out of any understanding, how can a war be considered holy, it is killing innocent people for the fault their leader attempted.

Cold War Debrief

My group in the game was Europe and Africa. The strategy I used to win was that we should give combos. Our countries were not good but when we gave it in a combo, USSR was willing to pay big money. I wanted to sell all my countries and so I sold all my countries and made many points for my team. This was my strategy.

I would have to say that my team did win in the end because we did have the most points amogst all our opponents. This was in the game, but in the real cold war, the real losers were USA and the USSR. These two groups wasted so many valuable resources in the cold war and in the game. All in all, the two superpowers were the losers.

Visual Communicator Post

When I work on any multimedia, some thoughts that go by my mind are that maybe I could add some pictures, or I could cut down these words. When giving information, stretching it out too much could be a pain. Suppose that you are making a brochure on an idea and there may be some statistics on it. Giving away numbers upon numbers would just bore the audience away.

Using visual communicator was a great experience for me although there were some parts that went wrong. Maybe some concepts we could have worked on would be not messing up the V-Screen and not rehearsing too many times. Some things that went good were that we got everything done on time, and we went step by step.

Some tips:
Don’t give up on technology
Be ready on time
Don’t put too many words

Animal Farm Movie Critique

There was a big difference in the movie and the book ANIMAL FARM!

Some of these differences are that in the movie Old Major is shot where in the book he wasn’t. The song BEASTS OF ENGLAND that was the main song in the book was not so in the movie. The movie changed the song to something else. My next reason is quite important because there was no Clover. Clover is important in the book and not having her in the book is a major issue. Jessie took the role of Clover and so the movie did have a figure that would be supportive of the other animals. When the humans came to fight the animals, they didn’t all have guns. In the movie, all the humans had guns where in the book only three were present. In the movie, Mollie leaves later than in the book. Towards the end, the book ends with Napoleon giving a speech but in the movie new farm owners turn up. Overall, I would think that the book was more interesting where the movie did a great job exaggerating the animal’s living conditions.

Animal Farm Post

I would say that my character is kind of like Napoleon only for his good qualities. Napoleon is a leader and one who would do anything to have his idea heard. Napoleon sacrifices many things to make the other animals happy. He would also work harder for them (Orwell pp.37). Napoleon is very trustworthy and everyone has hope in him. They also say that whatever Napoleon does is right (Orwell pp 37). The animals believe that Napoleon is a great leader (Orwell pp 55). These are some reasons why I believe i am like Napoleon.

WW1 Poem

Soldiers Dieing

Bullets firing
Tanks approaching
Soldiers dieing

Planes Flying
Machine-guns killing

Soldiers dieing

The gas spreading
Rifles running
Soldiers dieing

The torpedoes destroying
Grenades exploding
Soldiers dead

Militaries in countries

I come from mainly two backgrounds. One is British and the other is Indian. In England, it is not necessary for one to join the army. India also doesn't enforce any such law. I believe that it is an honor to serve the country. India has a very large army and if everyone serves for two years each, India would have the largest and the biggest army in the world. Britain doesn't have a large army although if they have a law of serving in the military after college , it would also have a very good army. All in all it would be good if these kind of laws were enforced.
