El Salvador
For my country, I chose El Salvador. El Salvador has a constitutional republic. A constitutional republic is based is a state where the chief executive and representatives are elected by the people, and the rules are set down in a written constitution. The head of state and other representatives are elected but they do not have uncontrolled power. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the Legislative Assembly. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature The president is Nayib Bukele. As of 2014, it has been reported that the country is stable but has faced many problems when it comes to gang activity in most of El Salvador. Most of the countries’ people are not happy with the way people have governed the country. In a recent poll done, 26% of Salvadorians approve of the countries leadership, 25% are confident in the honesty of the elections, and 51% of people would leave their country permanently if they could. In the same poll done, many Salvadorians believe they need a president willing to go through with their promises, especially ones about the crime rate and gangs. Another huge issue in El Salvador is poverty rates, which is also another problem many presidents have promised to fix, but have never come around to it. A lot of Salvadorians have dissatisfaction when it comes to the way issues are being dealt with. El Salvador as a whole is a great country but has many issues in it that prohibit it from reaching satisfactory levels by its people.

Cultural Anthropology

Gabriel Han Sep 16 IHSS Cultural Anthropology Blog I read an article about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a study around them conducted by MIT. The Dead Sea Scrolls are a series of ancient Hebrew texts that were discovered in 1947. The study was focused on one scroll known as the Temple scroll, out of the 900 or so scrolls. The scrolls were hidden in jars on hillsides north of the Dead Sea, often under debris. The reason the Temple scroll was chosen was because it is the largest and most well preserved of the scrolls, despite the fact that the material is incredibly thin, at only 1/250 of an inch thick. The study was to investigate how the parchment was made, and what it was made of. Results showed it was processed in a strange way, and made of odd ingredients like evaporates that differed from the normal ones. This raises questions such as how did they make it, or come up with the idea for it? Scientists believe that understanding this parchment could provide insights into the cultur...

Further Investigation of Immigration

Andreas Cantu Mr. Roddy IHSS 12 April 2020 Chinese Immigration  Between the years 1845 and 1855 the US saw a massive influx of chinese immigrants. This was due to the gold rush in California. Chinese immigrants would leave the friends and family in search of a better life with more opportunities in America, and gold rush gave them their best shot at making it big in America. Although they had hopes to join the gold mining most of them took jobs with coal mining companies for little to no commision. This was huge problem for the immigrants, because it made life in America very difficult. As time went on they had begun opening up small business wherever they could, this helped them integrate their culture into the American culture and help them feel more at home. The American Robber Barons saw Chinese immigrants as noting but cheap labor. In 1863 The transcontinental railroad began its six year long construction, stretching from Sacramento California to Omaha, as more Chinese...

Thoughts on Engagement

After doing the research for my challenge project on kill and no kill animal shelters, I have decided that I want to find a way to educate people on the internet without stating any form of opinion in order to be informative without being offensive. What I want to do is make a website that will have information both good and bad on kill and no kill animal shelters in an effort to educate the public on the matter. many people will for blind opinions on specifically kill shelters as they don't do the research and end up attacking people without any information on the matter. This is something that people need to know about because it is important that people who are thinking about adopting an animal know what they are getting in to before they do so impulsively. I will also include information on why sterilizing animals is so important to the issue of strays and why people should consider sterilizing their household pets as well as it only puts their animal in danger and makes them w...
