Why do civilizations have laws?

I think civilization have laws because then the ruler of the land could still have power to controll his people. When people break laws they get punish and that i think is what makes the ruler more powerful. If you get punish you probably wouldn't like it and so you follow the laws made, then you won't get into trouble, and that kind of means you are listening to the ruler (obeying him/her)That is why I think civilization have laws.

Emerging Technology

This is the second trimister of school and I am taking IT as one of my electives. In IT so far we have learned about the rules of third and the triangles that some pictures have. I think learning about the rule of thirds is fun because you get to take photos and learn while you are having fun. Everybody was trying to take a photo of the monkeys; unfortunately my group couldn't find them, but we still got good photos. The vanishing point was also important because I think it makes the picture cooler. Now we are working on Emerging Technology. Alistair, Ted, and I are one group and our given topic was Video Games. The definition is not want I really thought it was through. I think the topic is a bit hard. Just a bit.

About Me

Hi! My name is Ni and I take school in ISKL. My favorite sport is soccer, horse riding and rock climbing. I like to be the be-layer in rock climbing because I am better at it. (A be-layer is a person who stand at the bottom to pull/release the rope for the climber.) If I have free time I would most likely play computer games, read a book, paint/draw, or watch movies.

My favorite school subjects are math, health, drama, art and PE, but I do not like swimming. By the way I’m a girl. Horses and ponies are my favorite animals. I think they are cool, beautiful, playful, and nice to have as a pet.

Response to Mr.McQueen's Question/s

The main point of the movie was to let us know how Papau New Guinea formed it's civilization. At first they collected wheat & barley then they found it easier to grow their own crops and just have it nearby so they wouldn't have to search for it.

Connect, Extend, and Challenge

Today in Humanities we had to fill out a sheet on/about the movie. One of my questions was "Did the people in New Guinea develope any farther or did they just stay in the farming life?" I think they are probably trying to develope farther but they didn't have the chance yet even after the population grew because if there were more people, then they would need more food for all the people to stay alive so more people would have to work to grow the wheat, barley, and sago so no one would be able to develope new skills, because they don't have enough time (except if it was easy to find the resources like lighting fire.)

Headline

Yesterday in humanities we watch a movie called "Guns, Germs & Steel" after it finished we have to come up with a headline and mine was "Papua New Guinea's Ways" I wrote this because the movie showed what technology they used and how it transformed their lives forever from hard and long work to easy and quick work. It shows what path they traveled if it was the rough and narrow or smooth and wide. The movie was really nice it contained good information and descriptive language. It was interesting how they made a food surplus, went from gathering and hunting to farming. I think they are very clever.

Kaula Lumpur and the Early Humans

I think that the early humans are mostly similar to us on their food, water, economy (kind of), and technology. Food and water are easy to explain we drink clean water so do they but the way we and they collect it is different. The basic food is meat, just any kind for the early humans but we have choices. I think economy is kind of the same because both future and past have to work to be able to survive. Money is money for us and food is money for them. In the early human's years food was used for almost everything such as; trading items, food, and clothes. We have so many jobs that we won't be able to choose from but the early humans basically have 3 basics job which are; hunting (food gatherer), tools making, and maybe fire making/collector. Their technology is kind of the same because back then technology is what made the early humans transformed to us. It has been proved that if they weren't able to make spears/fire/shelter and know how to distance throw then they wouldn't developed because they wouldn't have the brain power. We are the same because we the ultimate survivor were the ones to create more and more to the world which are not always good. For example horse carriages turns into cars, trains, airplanes, helicopters, etc. So basically technology is important and needed. There are also some parts that the early humans have that are different from us such as; shelters, believe system, and education. Early humans used caves as shelters but we have all sorts of different things such as hotels, motels, condos, house, apartments, etc. For shelters and other stuff in these days I think they relates to technology because we are at this point making things more beautiful, strong, and lovely. I think that early humans only have one believe system which is to paint cave paintings that have a story behind it. This relates to culture if we have more culture then there would probably be more beliefs because every culture has their own thing. Next is education, we learn at schools but the early humans doesn’t have schools and so I think they learn from their mistakes, older people, or they might be self educate. Overall I can see that we have much more choices that the early humans do and again I think it relates to technology.

What makes Kuala Lumpur a civilization?

I think people, caring-for-other-people-feelings, nature, and entertainment make KL a civilization. Our needs make us fight on and with that we make a strong community. We need nature because we need oxygen, it also make our country nice and beautiful. We need entertainment to make people happy and have fun. Entertainment is important because it is what makes us smile and nice, if you have no entertainment then you would feel unhappy, grumpy, lonely, or sad. We need to care for other so we can have a team and make teamwork then go on. With team work we have trust and if everyone do this then we would make a perfect living place for everybody.

Blogging on Blogger

Did you know that everyone can see what you have posted on your blogger site. Everyone is going to see what you say so you should write something that is interesting to everyone, it shouldn't be a personal or letter-to-a-friend thing. You should use proper english on the blogger site and check your spelling. If you are introducing yourself to everyone on the blogger site I would suggest that you don't put in such specific facts, such as your whole or real name. Just your nickname would be fine. No one said that it has to contain all information! This is also for your own safety. Some people can figure out your password and email by reading about what you like and your whole name. Well I mean you wouldn't know when it is coming! Repeat: This is for your own safety.

SPCA slide show

Don't you think it's so cruel to hurt the innocent animals? Well I sure do and you should too unless you're one of those people who does that. I would like everybody to know about this. Not only in Malaysia but all aroud the world. Come on guys, doesn't even worth a penny to help. this is the email for the SPCA: spca@stremyx.com If you aren't allow pets (like me) then just drop by the office and bring some old newspaper to give them. Or bring something they need, and if you see an animal injured or locked up all day you should call the SPCA. Well dogs and cats aren't people but they can get hurt. Don't you have empathy? It's so sad. There're thousands of those animals there, and for those who have pets I order you now to take care of THEM! Also if you're one of the people who is hurting the animals I'm going to say to you now that why don't YOU JUST GO PLAY WITH SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE. What are you guys thinking these animals can't even fight back! When you're bullied, then your mother would talk to the principal about it, and then you would be safe from the bullies, but you know what, these animals CAN'T TALK. They CANNOT COMMUNICATE, and NO ONE is HELPING!!!!!!!!!! Come on! Lend a hand and HELP!!!
