Political Systems- China
Since 1949 the Communist Party has ruled over the People's Republic of China. The Communist Party has complete political authority and governs following democratic centralism, the only thing that is above the Communist Party ins the constitution. This form of government allows for open discussion about policy decisions, with this all of the members have to uphold group decisions once the vote is made. The Politburo Standing Committee is in control of the Communist Party and the military, they have about four to nine members. The Politburo Standing Committee is short for the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China; which is a group of the top Communist leaders in China. The Paramount leader has the most governmental power. China's government is composed of four divisions; the legislative, the executive, the judiciary, and the military. 

The first part of the Chinese government I will discuss id the legislative branch. The legislative branch consists of the National People's Congress(NPC). In the National People's Congress, they debate policy proposals and discuss among its 2,987 members. Each representative is elected for five-year terms and meets once a year. To pass amendments, they must be proposed by at least 20% of the members and must be approved by two-thirds. The congress also writes and amends laws about civil affairs, state issues, and criminal acts. The second branch of government I will be talking about is the executive branch. The executive branch is composed of the State Council, the Premier, and the President. The State Council must follow the NPC's orders and must carry out the legislative decisions. The Premier in a way is a Prime Minister and is in charge of the 50-member Council, these members are the heads of s ministry and government agency, they meet every six months. The President serves for five years, is a ceremonial head of state, and has limited power in the government. The third branch is the Judicial Branch. Within this branch is the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate. In the Supreme Court, its judges are appointed by the NPC. The Supreme People's Procuratorate does investigations a crime prosecutions, they run the Office of the Procurator-General. The final branch I will talk about is the Central Military. The military has 11 members, they control the People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army militia, and the People's Armed Police. This happens by organizing the military order and making sure that it is followed. They also control the army deployment and budget spending. In China, the older generations are not very fond of their government but, the younger generation likes the government. The reason the younger generation likes the government because there is no political polls.

Prisoners Design What They Can't Buy- Luke

Luke Kirchner      I chose to read the article "Objects Made by Prisoners in the United States". This was a very interesting article, as it showed what it's like to be in an American prison and how they make some objects. When Prisoners are in prison, the severity of their punishments can vary, but the lack of creative freedom is often detrimental to each prisoner. This lack of freedom can sometimes drive their creativity to make their own objects, showing off individual expression. Some items like pens and toothbrushes were not given in the full form, due to the fear of prisoners turning them into weapons. Instead, the prisoners thought about how they could fix these problems. The article says "The items shown here, made by inmates in the U.S. prison system, illustrate the severity of restrictions imposed on prisoners as well as the human instinct to persevere through creativity and invention" (The Atlantic).      They took the ink cartridge for the pen an

Josey - The Fashion Industries Effect on the Enviroment

           Clothing production around the world has doubed since the year 2000, making the fashion indsutry the second biggest polluter in the world. The impact of the indsutry on the enviroment has always been substantial, but in recent years as it has continued to grow, the impact has grown with it. It is estimated that aproximately every second a truck load of clothing is dumped or burned in a landfill. Not only is this a huge amount of resources, but it is also clothing that could easily be reworn or recycled. This is an extremely wasteful amount and is not only affecting the resources that are used, but also the workers who are being forced to produce materials at extremely fast rates.            Wasting these materials is one of the major ways that this is having an effect on the enviroment but another is the waste that is produced and put into the enviroment. Often when factories produce clothing, once they are done they dump chemicals from the factory into rivers. These chemic

Recovering Ecosystems

Tyler Holland Mr. Roddy IHSS 26 March 2020 Recovering Ecosystems A large challenge for stopping the increasing problems that we face with air pollution and other environmental problems, is that humans are natural control freaks. People try so hard to invent new ways to control the risks that our Earth faces instead of just trying to let nature do its work. Isabella and Charlie, a couple who owned farmland in England, came to the realization that nature solves its own problems, after they had a run in with a feared weed for many farmers. Once they discovered the 'cursed thistle' in their farms they feared the worst as it spread so quickly, but they had decided to let it happen because using pesticides and chemicals was not an option for them. After a while they started to see a flourishing environment in their acres that they had not seen there before, painted lady butterflies flew across the land and after a while caterpillars were crawling all over their 60 acres and ea
