209: World Geography




1st Part: What’s a Micro-Credit Organization? How are Micro-Credit organizations changing Africa and giving women more power? Also, what do enterprise, informal economy and entrepreneur mean?

2nd Part: Imagine that the United States is under a terrorist attack. It is three in the morning. Who would you want to answer the call in the White House: a male or a female president? In other words, who do you think would do a better job leading the United States during a terrorist attack? A man or a woman? Why?

Each part must have at least 5 complete sentences.

Don’t forget to look at the new poll question!

Micro-Credit Organization is small loans they give to people. Micro-Credit organizations is changing Africa and giving women more power. Because women that have micro-enterprise need money to buy the products they need for the business, Micro-Credit organization helps then get started by giving then a small loan $100, but the women needs to pay back. Micro-enterprise means a small business. Micro-entrepreneur means a person with a small business.

I think would do a better job leading the united state. One reason is because man is more series with the job, therefore if I call then he will answer the phone, then he will call the army. Another reason is that man doesn’t have to painting their nails. Maybe the woman will not answer the phone because she’s painting her nails. Final reason is that a woman should be president because they are not made to lead the country in a terrorist attack. In conclusion that is who I wanted to answer the phone in a terrorist attack.

Frank,

Your second section is a little confusing. It seems rushed. You need to do it again. Now, do all women spend their time painting their nails? How many hours a day? Why aren't women made to lead the country? You have to explain!

second part


I think men are better leading the country in a terrorism attack. One reason is because men are often seen in wars, therefore they do a better job and men are stronger than woman. Another reason is because wars are man staff, but a woman could go to war, but you don’t wanted that only if they’re strong. Final reason is because the woman may be patting they’re nail or in a beauty shop, woman pant they’re nails ounces a week, but some paint they’re nails every day, they go to the beauty shop on Sundays. Women are not made to lead the country because they need to dial with war therefore that’s a man job.

Micro-Credit Organization is small loans they give to people. Micro-Credit organizations is changing Africa and giving women more power. Because women that have micro-enterprise need money to buy the products they need for the business,and the women need a lot of stuff Micro-Credit organization helps then get started by giving then a small loan $100, but the women needs to pay back like all the money they get have to give back.Micro-enterprise means a small business or tiny business. Micro-entrepreneur means a person with a small business.


I think women better leading the country in a terrorism attack. One reason is because women are not always in the war and because I don’t see that many women in the war they do a better job sometimes. Another reason is because wars is not only man but a woman could go to war, but you don’t wanted that only and if they are not like the men it doesn’t matter. Final reason is because the woman should have a turn to lead the country, I think everyone can have a turn to lead the country

1st part:Micro-Credit Organization is a company that give credit (money) to people that want to open their micro-entrepreneur. Micro-Credit organizations is changing Africa and giving women more power because, when micro-credit organization give women loans of
$ 100, the women could open there own small job so, when they open the jobs micro-credit organization help themselves, only when woman begin to earn money.micro-enterprise means a business with or without employee.infernal economy means the part of the economy in which goods and services are exchanged outside of government control.micro-intrepreneur means a person who owns a very small business.



2nd part:I think a male would answer the phone at three in the morning because, the women might not wake up that that time but, a male could because, they take that hard work more serious than female. Another reason why a male would answer the phone at three in the morning is because, must of the female are scare to dark and to terrorist but, some male are not scare to a terrorist (a killer ) (a person) and less to the dark.

Frank,

Much better (not dial, deal). Why can't women deal with war? Bush is a man? Didn't we get attacked? I will give you a 100% instead of an A, if you write one paragraph explaining why women and men could be equally as good or as bad a s each other as leaders.

Women can’t deal with wars because they are to they’re to scare, because seen people die or listening that they kill 20 children is too much for then. Yes we did get attack but he reacted and attacked back. Well women and man could be equal, they could share everything like all women and men could go to war, and be president, we had 43 president’s 0 are women and the 43 are men, we could give and opportunity to the women, but no that much.

1st part: Micro-credit organizations are small loans that they give to people so they can start the micro-enterprise. This changes Africa because they are giving them money and with the money they can buy more stuff for the small business and they are getting more money being less poor so more food and less people dead. Enterprise is a business, informal economy is when parts of the economy exchanges services and goods, and entrepreneur is like a business person.

2nd part: I think that in a terrorist attack the person in the white house should be the better person raised for a terrorist because from the experience with bush I wouldn’t want him to be in a leading a terrorist attack I would want somebody more suited for that job. For example Hillary Clinton would be better suited because from what bill Clinton she was a good president so you have a good idea but with somebody like Obama we don’t anything about him. So I disagree because I would say the person in the white house should be the person better suited for it.

In the field trip we all together learn many thing that we already had done but not in a way that shows everything. This mean that we learn thing that now we know about. In the field trip I really liked the most when we went to a room where was some of belongings of one of the little rock 9. I really paid attention to this presentation because this was like been a honor to learn about something that is history and some of the United States Citizen may not know about
the little rock 9 loosing one of the best history of the African
American people who may not know about something that end segregation between colored and white.


In the case if I was one of the little rock 9 members. I would
integrate to a a white school. Segregation was a form of discrimination in the united states. I would just accept integrate the white school because I would just want the segregation to stop because many racism
was been shown. In the united states everybody is equal this means that it doesn't matter what color you are you have the right to choose what you like and what you don't like. For example you can just like to integrate but if you don't want to integrate you have the right to make your own decision been sure of who you are and who you are going to be in the future.

1.A Micro-Credit Organization is a small loan that the bank give to people that need the money. Micro-credit organization is changing Africa and gibing women more power because women that have micro-enterprise need money to buy the products ,they need for the business, and the women need stuff ,Micro-Credit organization helps then get started by giving then a small loan of $100, but the women needs to pay back .Micro-enterprise means a small business or tiny business. Micro-entrepreneur means a person with a small business.

2.I will like a female president to answer the call. I think the women presidents will do a better job during a terrorist attack because the women presidents will take this more calm and think what they should do to solve this problem with the terrorist for example make a dial with the terrorist therefore they don’t attack the people in the U. S. A they can give money to the terrorists or they can give them other things that can help the terrorists in something.
That’s why I think the women will do a better job if terrorist come to attack the U .S .A .

Micro-credit organizations are small loans that they give to people so they can start the micro-enterprise. Micro-credit organizations are changing africa and giving women more power by allowing women to have their small bussiness. Enterprise means having bussiness. Informal economy means having a small job. Entrepreneur means a bussiness person. Micro means tiny.


For some reason there hasn't been any women president. i think that in a terrorist attack a men should pick up the phone in the white house because a men would know how to handdle the situation how is supposed to. a women can also handdle it correctly. but i trust a men better. and another reason is that you only see men at wars so my point is that men are brave.

Good Job Ariana and Kenny. You will get feedback later on today.

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Jose,

Bill Clinton is a man, so you have to use the pronoun he. White House is a proper noun, so you have to capitalize it! I liked your approach... It's not gender, it is experience. I will agree with you. But just don't count anyone out because you haven't heard enough about that person. RESEACH!

Now... if you want an A+, you have to explain to me how micro-credit organizations are changing women roles in Africa.

Mr. Pitts-Dilley

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Ariana,

Don't abbreviate the United States as USA. Also, a deal between people (dial means ti make a call).

So you think women would be more calm and willing to talk to terrorists. I can see why you think so. But it is important not to stereotype people. Would all women be willing to make deals instead of attacking back? Are all women calm?

If you want an A+ if you have to respond to the following: Is it okay to think that all women think and act the same way? Why or why not?

Mr. Pitts-Dilley

Anonymous said...

Keny,

We need to work on your transition sentences. It sounds like a list...

1. Micro-enterprise means...
2. Entrepeneur means...

Don't worry about it for now. But don't forget to capitalize I (YO) and White House.

If you want an A+ answer the following questions..

1) Why do you think the United States has never had a female president?
2) You said that you trust a man more than you would trust a woman. How would you feel if someone said "I trust a white man more than I would trust a Latino man"???

1. Micro-Credit Organization is small loans they give to people. Micro-enterprise organization is changing Africa and giving women more power because women that have micro-enterprise need money to buy the products, they need for the business.micro-credit help them givin them a small loans of $100.00.does women that ask for loans they need to pay back the money. Micro-enterprise means a small business. Micro-entrepreneur means a person with a small business.


2.the men and the women can control the country but not the same as a men are more stronger then the women.one example is the women can control the country to but not the same as a men that men is more stronger then the women.another example is the men control better because the women to answer the phone at three in the morning it hard to wake up and the men is ready for everything they don’t matter what time is it they pick the phone faster for any emergency.

=) THIS IS MY ANSWER FOR THE SECOND PART OF THE QUESTION……I TRY MY BEST MR.DILLEY =)

No is not ok because all the women don’t have the same thinking about their reactions and because they think many different things about one problem.

Micro-Credit Organizations is loans that small business receive. In Africa this organizations are giving power to the women in Africa. Enterprise, informal economy and entrepreneur means a person who has a small business.

I would want a male to answer the call in the white house because male are more prepared for this type of problems. i think the a male would do a better job leading the United states during a terrorist attack because male are always ready to some problems that are frequently in this country.

Rochely,

Fantastic first part! Now, President Bush is an old man! He is not the strongest man in the United States, so I don't understand that being stronger is a good reason?

Question: Is it okay to say that Latino men would be worst presidents than white men because they like to party too much? Why or why not? See if you get the picture!

because men get more change to became
a president then a women. so that why i think men are more prepared then women to became a president. and there some job the the i think that the men got the capacity to choose them then choose a women so that is why i think men are more prepared then women.

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Hanny,

Okay. But why don't women get chances? Would you vote for a man over a woman just because of gender?

i Think the women don't get chance to be the president of the unite states because in the unite state a Women never became a women president.no i would vote for a women because she maybe can do some better stuff to us the women but maybe if the man is a president maybe he will do some better stuff.

I think that a women haven't became a president in the unite states because nunca habido una señora de presidnete so that why i think no women became a president because of that.No i would vote for the women because i want the women to win to see if a women win to see if the unite states get better. and i would vote for her so we can have a women president.

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Hanny,

The "I" as in "I am" or "I think" is always capitalized (CAPITALIZED)! Also, we need to spell the name of our nation correctly... United States (con d despues de unite, U mayuscula y s despues de state, 50 estados, con S mayusca).
