Thoughts on Engagement 
With Coronavirus becoming more of an issue, firearms are shown to be more essential than one might think. Due to Coronavirus, Police have to choose which calls that they respond to. Covid-19 has shown that we cannot trust the government for our personal security and safety. Since the Dallas Police Department wants to limit contact with officers and civilians the police will no longer respond to: Burglary of a Coin Operated Machine, Burglary of a Motor Vehicle, Criminal Mischief, Debit/Credit Card Abuse, Graffiti, Harassing Phone Calls, Lost Property, Reckless Damage, Theft, Shoplifting, Identity Theft, Property Theft (Auto Accessories) and Theft of Service. This shows exactly why the President of the United States kept gun shops open during Coronavirus, they are essential business. You can have a suspicious person walking around your neighborhood and if you call the police they will not respond. At times like this the 2nd Amendment is essential for all Americans to stay safe. I will engage with this issue by attempting to speak with a representative from the Police Dept. or a government employee involved in criminal justice. I will speak to the owners of gun shops and gun ranges to learn more about they’re opinion on this issue. Many people are not in support of firearms in this country and they believe that we should trust the police to be able to protect us, Covid-19 has proven that we can’t always trust the government for our safety. At the end, I will make an infographic, blog or website that is designed to show how the second amendment is essential and how Americans are lucky to have it.

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...
