Egypt
Egypt is facing a lot of problems right now. The current problem with Egypt and their people has become very serious, it has been going on since many years ago because of the President they had, Hosni Mubarak, but people started getting more involved starting January 25, 2011 and it has kept going. This all started because the people from Egypt did not want the President that they had to have leadership for Egypt anymore. All these protests can really affect the people from Egypt starting with their safety and now that they have closed most of the places where the protests are taking place, their economy. Also, for the people that have their own businesses, because they are closed and maybe even getting destroyed because of the chaos around the street they are losing a lot of money. Because of all the chaos that has been happening all around Egypt President Hosni Mubarack decided that he would just quit his position of being a president. And now that he decided not to be president anymore they decided that the military will now take over since they didn't have anyone else until they elected someone new. As it was said all across the world in the news the military took over after President Hosni Mubarack resigned his position as the president of Egypt.

Long term and Short Term Goals for Peace
A short term goal that I have always tried to accomplish to bring peace to other people is smile at them whenever they seem to be down or mad. I have always thought that smiling to people will make it a brighter day for them and you feel better that you can make that happen by just giving a smile to someone that might need it.
A long term that I have always have had with my family is to help out the kids that are in Africa that cannot have the same education as us and that can not have the same meals as we do. We would like to go to Africa one of this days and help them out. This is another reason why I want to be a doctor, to help other kids in other countries that need it.

Inner Peace
Inner peace is being mentally and spiritually at peace, with enough knowledge and understanding to keep oneself strong in the face of discord or stress. Some of the resources people can use to have inner peace may be to practice yoga. This can clear your mind and soul. One of my friends does this very often and tells me it helps her a lot when she has a lot of stress because of school. I tried it with her and it actually did help. knowing that you will feel relived from so many things. Also, one of the things that can help you is go to a place you are very confortable and just breathe and not think about stressful things. It relaxes your mind and soul and you can think more about yourself. Having inner peace is very important because then you can focus in yourself and not having to worry about what stresses you out.
Op-Ed
As we heard last night May 1, 2011, Osama Bin Laden was captured and he is now dead. Many people are affected by this, a lot of people were extremely happy that they had finally captured him. As seen in the news, people went to the White House to “celebrate”. But, many other people were thinking that this could have been a lie and that the United States government may be lying. Some of people are also thinking that this can only bring more problems to the United States. Because people that followed Bin Laden are now going to be mad.
There are many contributing factors that affect the people from gaining and receiving peace. Some of the factors that make it impossible for there to be peace everywhere are: racism, bullying, arguments against each other, and “I am better than you”. But the main reason we don’t have peace is because of all the wars happening at this moment. We have people fighting wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, and many more places. This affects every single one of us, either mentally, emotionally, and physically. You may think that the people that are more affected by this are soldiers, and or people that have actually been affected by the wars. But that is not true; everyone is affected by this even though they have not experienced it.

Stand up! Homophobic Bullying
There shouldn't be any discrimination against people that want to express what they believe and feel like in the video. They may not like the opposite sex but the same sex, it is something they have decided and it makes them happy. There is a lot of discrimination against homosexuals that want to express what they feel and what they believe. But they shouldn't be any discrimination because everybody is the same even though they do not like the same things as others. For example I have a friend that is not afraid to express what he feels, he is homosexual and shows that he is not afraid what people think of him. He seems very happy showing the world that he is homosexual and he is enjoying his life to the fullest. If it wasn't for people that discriminate against them I am sure most of the people that are still not out there in public would be more happy if they could express what they feel and believe. So I say that everybody should stand up just like in the video for people that are being bullied because of their sexuality. It would make the world a better place by helping each other fight any kind of discrimination.

The Coalition for Adolescent Girls Memo
The Coalition for Adolescent Girls
To: English 1301 Students

RE: The Coalition for Adolescent Girls
There are many girls around the world that don't have the opportunity to gain the same education as some of the other girls in different countries, for example like girls in the United States do or how boys have. They are often discriminated due to gender. They are seen as house women, and they have to work around the house like their mother's do. Also, they are expected to marry at a very young age, most girls marry at the age of 14, and they often marry middle aged men even elderly men. Because of this, most girls don't get the opportunity to gain and education and receive a better future. The Coalition for Adolescent Girls is a committed organization to create change for communities that are barely developing in the world, to help the adolescent girls become more educated. Adolescent girls will be the future of the community; they will play an important role and end poverty by becoming more healthy and financially literate.
The goal that this organization has is to unleash the potential of 600 million adolescent girls. The things they are focused on is to show how great of a change and potential it would be if girls in their communities work on their education, Finding actions that will make a change to the community, and to form a community with the same purpose in mind as the organization. The organization is focused on adolescent girls from the age of 10 to 18. They help girls stay in school for a longer period of time, by doing this they help them by keeping them healthy, to gain skill, they will marry at an older age, have less pregnancies, and be able to gain income for their family. They also help the adolescent girls by helping them not get any fatal diseases or sexually transmitted diseases, like HIV/AIDS. By marrying at such a young age and getting pregnant does not show such a bright future for them. Since they are really young they won’t be able to carry the weight and the child's weight and this might even cause their death. That is why this organization is trying to help adolescent girls stay longer in school and gain more education. So, they can have a brighter future and even help their communities by gaining an income and helping them with the poverty they have in their community.
Some of the discourse practices The Coalition for Adolescent girls do is talk to the different communities about what a great thing it would be to give a better education for girls. And by how it can help their communities by helping their economic and poverty rate. Also, they do research and show for great of an impact it would be to give a better education to the adolescent girls. They show all of this research in their website, where they encourage everybody to get involved and talk about this organization to their friends, family members, and acquaintances. By just spreading the word to your friends and family members you can make the world a better place and make a difference.

Peace :)
Whenever I think or hear about peace I think about how we all try to have peace around the world yet, we keep doing things that will harm other people. For example, we don’t cooperate with having peace amongst each other when we are being racist, this is one of the biggest issues we have, and it is one of the reasons why we don’t have peace around the world. People shouldn’t judge other people because of the way they look or the color of their skin. We are all the same even if we have a different skin color. Another important reason why we don’t have peace is because of all the fighting around the nation. For example, The United States of America with Iraq. They have been in War for almost 10 years. If there wasn’t so much fighting and so much jealousy around the world, there wouldn’t be so much hatred against other countries. Yes, other countries may have better things than other countries, but why not have an agreement with them? They can help you out to get some of the things they have. Maybe by having that arrangement causes fewer arguments against each other and helps both of the countries. Also, I think about how our soldiers are out there fighting for our safety, and for us to have peace and not worry about another terrorist attack or issue with another country. Some have even fought to death and we don’t see how much this means to their family members.
