Q1) Advertising influence the way that we use resource (consumption). Example, a lot of people on planet earth has been influence by ads of shoe company. It's make people go to store and buy their shoes. In order to produce those shoes, workers have to take rubbers, transportation requires fossil fuel. The companies produce ton of shoes all around the world, that's mean they must use a lot of natural resources and fossil fuels in order to make customer buy their products. If their ads are very interesting, people will spend a lot of money for their products. Advertisement is the method that makes people to buy companies' products and it influence the way that we spend money and use resources.

Q2: People in Vietnam or citizen of planet Earth are not really informed about the sustainable development issue, or how they use resource (consumption) in order to protect the earth. A lot of people are rich, some of them consider sustainable development issue is necessary for human plus how one of us uses natural resource/ resource, but some of them don’t. Poor people, they don’t have enough education to know about sustainable development issue and consumption. However, we can make a change to inform poor people, rich people, and other people about how sustainable development can bring benefit to the earth, also the way of using resources by advertise. Every year, one person watchs 40,000 advertises about the products of companies that release CO2 and hurt the mother earth a lot. If we can replace most of those advertises by inform people about sustainable development issue and consumption through advertisement (cartoon, facts, famous scientists talk,etc…). Then, everyone will have chances to considerer about sustainable development and consumption more seriously.

Q3)I do think me my friends might influence by the advertisement on how we purchase. Advertisement technique is very important for a company. Advertisement is like a secret weapon that hit the human desire. It's will make people spend money on that company products more depend on how the advertise look exciting or bad and also what they target at. Example, they use a lot of celebrity on Nike shoe, me and my friend might get influence because those skills of superstars are cool and it make us want to be like one of them.

Example of sustainable development

1) Interface Inc. : carpet company use the products that not harm the ecology and environment.

2) Solar Towers or Solar Farm: take energy from the sun, or renew and recycle the energy from it

3) Three Gorges Dam (China): it's produce hydrological electricity power to Chinese people.

4) Wind farm (Lower Saxony, Germany): it's group of wind turbine that stand in same place and produce electricity from wind together.

My Immigration to US

My Immigration to US

My name is Adalrich Foerster and I’m Jewish. I’m come from Hamburg City north of Germany. Now I’m ninety five years old and live in New York city, NY. In September 1939, Adolf Hitler and his Nazis Party conquered Poland, World War II started. At that time, Jewish people were discriminated against every where that Adolf Hitler conquered. When my parents and I heard the news that Hitler would captured Jewish people and put them in concentration camps, we realized we would be treated badly if they got us. In order to stay away from Nazis, my parents contacted their best friend (they were my parents best friend since Germany was still in peace) to get us out of Germany. They were able to help one of us out of Germany. we went by fishing ship, because the Nazis police checked every fishing ship that left Germany.Because of that, my parents chose me to be the one that left Germany to immigrate to New York City, US, . When I heard that news, I felt half happy and half sad. I had to say good bye to my parents, relatives, and my friends. I wondered when I will meet them again. I was happy because I’ll be safer and can study in a US university to continue my atomic scientist dream, and help Allies develop their weapon to defeat the Axis power.

The day I left, I cried a lot and said good bye to my parents, relatives, and friends. On the fishing ship, I thought about my external migration. The trip from Europe to America, was very long . I’m still upset with push factors in Germany at that time, they moved me away my homeland. Those are political changes which took place in Germany. Democracy caused conflict and lead to World War II. Persecution is also important factor that pushed me way from my homeland because I’m Jewish. People said that Adolf Hitler hated Jewish people because he thought that we caused Germany’s defeat in World War I. I also thought about the pull factors that pulled me to New York City, things like economic opportunities. After I finished college in US, I made some money working for the Atomic Science Institute in NYC, and then I joined scientist group in US military. External migration to New York City also had positive affect on me and United States. I had better opportunities to live on free land which doesn’t discriminate against people because of their religions. United States was positively affected because of my immigration, I worked for them and developed their atomic bombs that helped them end World War II. Negative effects were that I still couldn’t find my parents, friends, and relatives, I think I lost them. I felt sorry for the negative effects on Nazi Germany, because of my immigration, they lost an atomic scientist like me. If I worked for Nazis, I could have help them develop the atomic bomb or even help them build it.

Message From Mother Nature

Main point

• Globe warming up because of human burning fossil fuels (CO2) and release it to the atmosphere and trapped by green house affect. That caused weather extremes around the world.

Vocabulary words
• Reluctant (adj): uncertain, hesitate.
• Dispute (noun): an argument, or argue.
•Skeptic (noun): the person who is not believe about something, disbelieve.

Difference
• Weather is how atmosphere in one place behave in short period of time, but climate is how atmosphere behave in long period of time.

Extreme Weather
• Torrential monsoon rains in Pakistan,caused flooding.
• Heat destroyed millions of acres of wheat and sparked wild fires that killed dozen.

Experience
•I had experience with extreme weather when I was in Nghe An. In Nghe An, when I was four years old, rain kept falling until flood on the countryside that I used to live. I lived in my grandparent house at that time. When the level of the water on farmfield rise, a lot of farmer traveled by boat to collect the paddy that floating, I was sitting on a boat with my uncle and watched him collected floating paddy. It was very dangerous, because I can easily fall off to water at anytime, but I love to be adventurous.

Definition

•Perception (noun) : appreciate something to be morals,lesson.

My Perception
My perception about global warming is the human develop their lives and economic so quick, that make the temperature of global rise quickly. Human use vehicles to help their life and release to much CO2 to the atmosphere, and green house affect will traped the heat. Over years, that heat raised temperature of the earth and caused flooding, forest burned by heat, rains a lot.

5 Themes Of Geo. in my Imaginary World Map

Capital of Shoe- Zuki Land called Screw City. Their location in Bike’s world is 4220 Degree Longitude 8330 Degree Latitude. The three countries near Shoe-Zuki were Honda, Kawasaki, and Stu-pid. They lived on a continent called Paku, so their land looked like our Pangaea. Shoe-zuki was the first civilization of Bike’s world.

In 140104 A.D, The black and dense oil flowed from underground to the surface.It condensed by the molecules of Screw, metal, and little bit of plastic .Then in 140204, After they were mixed, they collapse into one shape, and the creature what lived called Shoe Zuki-an. Shoe Zuki-an, looked like a motor bicycle, very short 4 feet tall .They lived together as a group, they went to find food together. Shoe Zuki-an lived near the Fuel River so they could drink fuel. Without those things, they couldn't live, so they had to motivate their self for find foods (oil, screws).

In Screw City temperature in a year was 62.25 Lucius Degree. Suzuki have four seasons, Pring(Spring), Mersu (Summer) , Tummua ( Autumn), and Terwin (Winter). In Pring, the temperatures was 49Lucius degree. In Mersu, the temperature was 150 Lucius degree, then in Tummua it was 30 Lucius degree, and Terwin was 20 Lucius degree. Some of the Shoe-Zukian died because it was to cold for the Terwin, or too hot in Mersu. In Suzuki, there was a mountain called Hot Fuel Mt., so every Shoe Zuki-ans came to there every- day to enjoy it. i was next to the Ocean of Blue Oil, Shoe Zuki-ans came to there alot, because they need to take a energy of fuels.

In 140304 AD, the population of the Shoe Zuki-ans grew very fast 150 Shoe Zuki-ans/month. They needed more lands, so a lot of them moved because their country was so overcrowded. They moved around the Bike’s World, finally finding their own countries, such as: Honda found Honda Country, Kawasaki and Stupid were also found their own countries too.Because those guys (Honda, Stu-Pid, and Kawasaki) were from Shoe Zuki, their language was Shoe Zuki-an. They moved because of Kraken the Sea Beast, lived in Ocean of Fuel and often annoyed Shoe Zukian. Shoe Zuki-ans moved away from Krakens. In 140804 AD, Jeff- the Shoe Zuki-an used his engines and created a fancy wheels with and tire to race with his neighbor.He spread idea of racing by traveled. All four countries on the planet started to compete each other by Races.Every year, Shoe-Zuki won mostly races.

Shoe Zuki-ans live on a Paku continent. The average height of a Shoe Zuki-an was 4 feet tall, but Honda and Stu-Pid got 5 feet tall, and also Kawasaki got 5.5 feet tall. All of the bikes in Bike’s world had ancestors from Shoe Zuki but they were not the same because they lived in a region, just similar. Paku continent contained a lot of oil rivers, screw trees and fuel, even black gold. So all of those resources could found in any countries from BIke’s world, but some had less, and others had more , they were just similar, not same amount of resources that could find in every countries.

What I have learned from Family Tree presentations

During a researched process, I have learned that my family had a root in the north of Vietnam. My grand parents came from Nghe An's province, in country side. They lived in rural life's style, with beautiful farm, many types of crops. Then they gave birth to seven children, my dad is the forth one. During Vietnam war, their lives were very difficult and lived in poverty(didn't have enough foods, hard work, didn't have time study--> had to work). But after Vietnam war, my dad moved to Ho Chi Minh City to worked for the wood factory, he had a lot of experiences during at Ho Chi Minh City. After worked in Ho Chi Minh city for few years, then he moved back to Nghe An's province and worked for another wood factory at Nghe An's province and he met my mom. They married in Nghe An and gave birth to me and my little sister. When I was sixth, my dad and me moved to Ho Chi Minh City and we lived in a house in District 7, then two years later, my mom and my sister moved to Ho Chi Minh City and lived with us too. (I didn't put these information in my presentation because I was afraid that would not have enough time, I'm sorry about that)

Those are very important information because they helped me know how I was created.Every single person is should know and understand their family root. where they come from, and how they moved to the place they are living now. And those information are also affect my life, they make me remembered my identity, my family. So when I was even lived far away, I still remembered my family and meet them every year.

My Wensday night Social Studies Homework (Nghe An, Vietnam)

I have been so many places around Vietnam, but I like Nghe An the most. In Nghe An is in tropical region. So each year during summer, Nghe An temperature is quite hot (near 40 Celsius Degree) because it's has been affected the wind from Laos. The wind from Laos traveled from Laos to Vietnam, and it carries a high heat to Nghe An's province from April- Augus. Last summer,there were few peoples in Nghe An's province died because the temperature was too high(people even sleep outside of the house when they lost electricity in their house, because they cannot resist the heat if they just stay inside the house when the electricity disappear) . In winter, the temperature is low, 10-20 Celsius Degree(from November- March) people in Nghe An , so I think that the average climate (temperature) of Nghe An is around 26 or 23 Celsius Degree. So the climate in Nghe An is kind of harsh for people live in there.
(Nghe An's map)
In Nghe An, there are a lot of mountains, and rivers. Mountains contains 80% of Nghe An's province, I think that the rivers are just contain 10% of a province. There are mountains and rivers such as: Quyet Mountains, Lam River, La River, etc. Each year, people are usually go to climb the mountain for physical fitness,but there are few people who are cutting trees and sell, trade ineligible people in live near the rivers, they usually swimming in the river near their house during summer.Nghe An's people are also go to swimming in a sea that in Nghe An during summer, sometimes people die because of the frequency of the sea's wave. But sometimes people use bicycle to enjoy the landscape of Nghe An during winter (November- March.
