US Freedom of PRESS

My Right is the Freedom of Press.

Freedom of Press exists because people liked to show flyers any way they could to gain support for wars and other events the journalist are considered the watchdogs for the government. They also are keeping an eye on the government that if they do somthing wrong they would report it to the public which can cause major problems in the government so press is a right because government needs it but it also keeps them in check. But there have become many restrictions on this right such as censorship.

To exersize this write is to be able to write what ever you please in an article to an extent.

Some limitations are how journalist cannot use profanity, make up a false story, and you can't write about stuff that goes against the president and government.

These limitations exist so that people wont be told lies and also that everyone wont be led to mayhem. Also if there were no limitations people would misuse the power given to them.

If I had to give up this freedom of press i think i would only do it if i could obtain more wealth and also if the world could become more peaceful to live in.

Middle East Conflict

1. Israel got involved in the Middle East Conflict also declared their independence in 1948.

2.1956 Suez campaign escalating border raids start up.
1967 The Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser closes the straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping also dismisses UN peacekeeping force.
1967 Israel fought in a 6 Day war with Egypt.
1973 The Yom Kippur War broke out.
2002 Israel conducts operation Defensive shield.
1917 British issued the Balfour Declaration... Viewed as a "National Home"
1964 PLO was founded to eliminate Israel
1993 The Oslo Declaration of Principles mutual recognition between PLO and Israel
1983 Draft Israeli- Lebanese Treaty was signed but was never ratified.

3. Some of Enemies of Israel are Iran, Syria, and Pakistan. They are enemies because they all want to have control over the "Holy Land" for their own religions.

4. I have found one of the neighboring countries in the middle east to be "friends" with Israel and that is Egypt. They signed a peace treaty in 1979.

5. Israel wants to have independence and to be able to hold on to the holy land. They are also willing to fight for their lives to hold on to the land that they have taken over.

6. Israel wants to maintain what they have but they would like to end the fighting but have no easy way out... I haven't found any thing that they are really willing to give up for their Independence.

7.They will not give up much more land because they do not have much to start with. Also they will fight in order to be able to have power over the holy land.

Reflection

1. Through out my project i have learned more of why D-Day had occured and what the allie soilders believed would happen.
2.How did the Allie forces landed on Normandy?
3.The answer to my reaserch question is that the Allie forces arived and stormed the normandy beaches by ships.
4.Some what.
5. My final product answers half of the question but it did not show that they came from boats. But it does show that the Allies did storm the beach.
6.I did pretty well on making the final model and also while i was gathering the research to be able to make the model.
7.I could have improved the project by putting some ships in the water to show that the allie forces arived by boat.
8.The change that i would need to do is to add some boats in the water maybe have a tank on the Nazi side.
9.If i could make a change to the assignment i would probily make it so that only one or 2 groups in one class can do one event.
10.I think i got about an A on this project because it does show that i did research and also i spent a pretty long time on the process of making it into the model.
