Reasons for collapse: (political, economic, social, environmental)
A society can collapse for many reasons. When a society forms they usually have neighbouring societies around them unless they are not in the middle of nowhere with nobody around. When there are other societies around it can be hard to obtain a healthy society if your "neighbours" and you don't get along because that's what can generally start conflict. When conflict arises it can lead to wars and other problems with all the involved societies around. Also with neighbouring societies there is a trade market because different places have different things to offer. For example Tommy's land has oil and he is beside Richards land. Now Richard has all the forestry in his land so he hunts a bunch of meats. Eventually Tommy will need meat for his community and Richard needs oil for his community. Now this can be beneficial for the society but it can cause environmental damage. When Richards land hunts meat for oil he can risk over hunting in order to feed his and Tommy's communities so that he can have oil.

Why is it so difficult to get into North Korea: Its so hard to get into North Korea because of their government and strict laws. The government controls everything what goes in and what goes out, for example you can not bring anything that can document things so most electronics are highly restricted. Also no music or internet. If you tried to sneak into North Korea chances are your going to be caught because they have military workers guarding everything.
What are the conditions you must obey when you enter North Korea: When you enter North Korea you will probably never come out so for your time spent there their are many rules u must follow. As a child you must go to schools where they teach you what the government wants them to believe and when you graduate you must serve a certain amount of years in the military. You have no access to internet or social media unless it is controlled by the government so that they can keep "brainwashing" you.
What was the overall tone of the clip: The tone of the clip is very controlling and powerless to the people that don't rule North Korea. They act like North Korea is the best place in the world when in reality its probably one of the worst places to be. North Korea is basically a place filled with brainwashed people to belive what the leader chose. Overall no power to citizens.

Freedom But Respect Law |
1. What types of industries do you think pose the greatest threat to the environment? Why?
-In my opinion the industries that cause the biggest threat to the environment is the government not putting enough regulations up to protect the environment. Another threat is big companies that are gonna end up with garbage but where does it go? Again this leads back to the laws and restrictions that are letting these problems happen.
2. What kinds of regulations do you think currently exist on these types of industries?
-I don't know that much about the regulations that are up at the moment but I would hope that there is something along the lines of protection to the people and environment. The laws that are up at the moment I'm guessing aren't that great or we wouldn't be discussing threats to the environment.
3. What is the E.P.A.?
-E.P.A is the Environmental Protection Agency. They enforce rules and standards that protect the environment and control pollution.
4. What is the equivalent of the E.P.A. in Canada?
-C.E.P Canadian Environmental Protection
5. Identify and explain some examples of protections and/or regulations that the E.P.A. has introduced in the past 5 years.
-Environmental Emergency Regulations, 2016 (enhance environmental emergency management in Canada) PROPOSAL
-Federal Halocarbon Regulations, 2003 (reduce/prevent radiation of ozone-depleting substances and of their alternatives from equipment used on federal and aboriginal lands)
6. Who is the current head of the E.P.A.? what are his credentials? Do you think he his qualified for this post? Why or why not?
-Scott Pruitt is the current head of the E.P.A. He does not have any credentials to help and run the E.P.A. because all his "achievements" are good for a business tycoon or a money loving "business" man. I don't think he is qualified for this position at all. I looked all over online and all I found that ties him to the E.P.A. is that his dumbass sued the E.P.A like it doesn't even make sense why anyone would sue where the represent. Also Pruitt rejects the scientific consensus that human activities are a primary contributor to climate change and that carbon dioxide is the primary contributor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Pruitt). The last thing that makes this whole thing fishy is that Donald Trump Posted him to the position so that kind of explains the rest.
Bristol Bay
1. Explain the protections that the Obama administration had placed on Bristol Bay.
-After years of studies, the Obama administration's EPA invoked of the Clean Water Act to try to protect Bristol Bay after finding that a mine trying to be made will impact the loss of fish habitat due to elimination, dewatering, and fragmentation of streams and wetland in some areas of Bristol Bay
2. Summarize a profile for Northern Dynasty Minerals.
Directors: Desmond Balakrishna, Steven Decke, Robert Dickinson, Gordon Kee, David Laing, Christian Milau, Ken Pickering and Ronald Thiessen
Location: Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. 15th Floor - 1040 West Georgia Street Vancouver, BC Canada, V6E 4H1
Officers: Robert Dickinson, Chairman, Ronald Thiessen, President and CEO, Marchand Snyman CFO, Trevor Thomas, Company Secretary
3. Summarize a profile for the Pebble Limited Partnership.
-"Based in Anchorage, Alaska, the Pebble Partnership is wholly owned by Northern Dynasty. Established in 2007 to design, permit, construct and operate a modern, long-life mine at Pebble, the Pebble Partnership has overseen a robust program of mineral exploration, environmental and socioeconomic studies, technical and engineering studies, as well as government, Alaska Native and other stakeholder relations to advance the Pebble Project into permitting"
4. Who opposes the mining proposal at Bristol Bay? What are their credentials?
-The people who don't want the mines built are the little tribes and groups of people that grew around the nature and have intentions to preserve Bristol Bay. Bristol Bay has one of the largest sockeye salmon "farms" around the world and is at this point in time a one of a kind place. These people may not have all the credentials for the business but they all share one thing. Wanting to save they Bay.
5. What is the 'Clean Water Act'?
-Clean Water Act. The Clean Water Actt (CWA) is the common name for the 1977 amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972 (FWPCA). The objective of the CWA is to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's waters.
Where to invade next questions:
1. What did you think the movie was about? How is the title misleading?
The movie title is "Where to invade next" so my initial thoughts were that the movie is about war or maybe even Korea. The film was very misleading because of the movie cover and the movie name was in my opinion a bit odd for the movie but it probably make sense in other way.
2. What failures does Moore cite in the opening of the film? What do you think are the most important economic, political and social implications of these failures for the United States?
In the beginning they were talking about how they failed because they had no idea what they were doing and they wasted so much money that eventually helped make ISIS. The events that made economic, political and social changes in the United States are:
-Voter suppression
-School systems
-Abortion
3. “There is no clash between the profit of the company and the well-being of the people.”Claudio Domenicali, Ducati CEO. What does this mean? How is this shown by the CEO’s to their workers?
It means that they want their workers to have the time they deserve to relax so they can work better and they money the company makes will always be fair and give that "support" to the people and make it not an issue in the work environment.
4. You are experts in our current education system. How does it compare with the current system in Finland? Why did Finland change its education system? What do you think needs to be done in Canada? Describe your perfect day at school. What would it look like? Who would be there? What would you be doing? What would you accomplish?
The education I get here is pretty good I mean the schools don't have the biggest budgets here but we have an ok access to more opportunities but with all the homework and studying. Our time frames become pretty tight with yourself, school, family, friends and all teenager issues its hard to find time to have time to take the opportunities you are given. Finland's education system is very smart. They have shorter days and don't have to worry about paying. This also gives these kids to grow and become themselves either if they choose to excel in sports or music this can open amazing education opportunities. I think Canada should change their education system to be like Finland's because it would give Canada's education system a boost of improvement. I also think that if the system changes less kids will be likely to drop out of school which in the long run is good for everyone. I never got the chance to watch the full movie yet but I think Finland changed because they saw the issues and resolved them. A perfect school day for me would be coming to school at 10 and working in class until lunch at 12 for 30 minutes and then keep working with the class until 2:30. Usually I get all my work done around 2 unless I'm catching up but at that point id rather go home and do my work after it has been explained to me.
5. What do you think are ‘basic human rights?’ How well do you think Canada meets these rights?
I think basic human rights are freedom of speech, The right to a sustainable livelihood, The right to basic services, The right to life and security and The right to an identity. I think Canada pretty much covers it all from what I know.
6. Do you believe in the death penalty? Why?
The death penalty is a hard topic to be with because obviously I don't want anyone dying. The death penalty should be applied to people who have committed a serious crime that has killed someone else but people can be innocent but convicted for crimes they never did and die. I don't believe in an innocent person should die so in the end I don't think the death penalty should be legal.
7. How well do you think your education has prepared you for a healthy romantic relationship? What are the things you remember most when learning about sex?
The education we are taught about sex is very minimal. The basic safety is always taught but nothing else. I feel like it has given me somewhere to start but over time I learn more and more on my own. I feel like they should get into more details and advice into healthy relationships not in a sexual way. Its unfortunate how so many kids don't know what a healthy relationship looks like and it can effect the way you grow up so they should get more into "relationship education"
8. Which country appealed to you the most? Why? What ideas should Canada ‘steal’ from the rest of the world?
Finland really caught my eye because of the school systems. I think Canada's school system is ok but Finland has such a unique system. They offer free post secondary education which is amazing. For a lot of families they cant afford to pay so the child going to school would want to pick up the extra shifts at work or maybe find another job which can jeopardise the time they put into their studies. I feel like its such a big problem overworking kids because a lot of them tend to develop anxiety or turn to bad habits which can start to affect their education.
9. How do you distinguish yourself as Canadian. Often, Canadian travellers are mistaken for American. How would you feel if this happened to you? Would you correct the mistake? Why? What makes you proud to be Canadian?
In my opinion I don't really care what people think I am when I travel. I have had people ask where I'm from but it has never ended bad and I'm sure some people saw me and though oh its a white American girl. That's fine you think what u want and if someone has an issue with how I look they can take it up with me. In the end they would learn I'm a nice Canadian girl so in the end jokes on them
Current Issues/Events
4.What is in the news? What issues are being debated? How is Canada on the international stage?
Political/Economic/Social/Environmental Policies
5.Some possible topics include: the military, immigration, budgets, taxes, women’s rights, healthcare, unemployment, welfare, 1.
The Liberal Party
1. The party was founded in 1869 by George Brown. In the start of confederation the liberals had minimal success against political ploys from Conservative Prime Minister Sir John A. McDonald and his team. Later in the game eventually the liberals gained prosperous provincial organizations. Following up with the fall of John Macdonald's government over the Pacific Scandal. Stonemason Alexander Mackenzie formed Canada's first Liberal government. An economic depression and the lack of effort in Mr. Mackenzie's political efforts led up to a re election in 1878 where McDonald took the victory on a platform of trade protection. The two main people that made this happen from what I've read is John A. McDonald because he is the one who kept perfecting his work over his failures and victory's. The other person who kind of made this happen is Alexander Mackenzie because if he never failed John McDonald would have never had the chance to take redemption.
2. Justin Trudeau is the current leader of the Liberal party. A minister is like a president. They are politicians who hold the public office in a government They make all the important decisions on laws and policies with other ministers. Justin's plan for Canada's future is "to invest immediately in jobs and growth and lower taxes for the middle-class. My vision of our country is a place where everyone has a shot at success because we have the confidence and leadership to invest in Canadians." - https://www.liberal.ca/rt-hon-justin-trudeau/
3. A political ideology close to the Liberal Party is between left wing and center.
4. The most recent piece of news on the liberals was about how Scarborough—Agincourt liberals have nominated Jean Yip to be the leader of the Trudeau candidate in the up coming election. https://www.liberal.ca/scarborough-agincourt-liberals-nominate-jean-yip-as-new-team-trudeau-candidate/
5. https://www.liberal.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Adopted-PRIORITY-Resolutions-Biennial-2016-EN.pdfwww.liberal.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Adopted-PRIORITY-Resolutions-Biennial-2016-EN.pdf
Some policies are:
Social- The protection of LGBTQ2 rights and refugees "The Liberal Party of Canada will encourage the Minister of Foreign Affairs to exercise their responsibility in denying export permits for states determined and identified by the United Nations to have threaten the safety or security of human life because of their sexual orientation or gender identity."
Economic- Medicare coverage for treatment of autism " the Canada Health Act be amended to include Medicare coverage for Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or, alternatively, the Government of Canada work with all provincial and territorial governments to ensure inclusion of ABA for ASD within their respective Medical Services Plans."
Political- Adjacency Principle "the “Declaration of Adjacency” shall be the defining principle that forms the basis of managing the allocation of resources in the coastal areas and regions of Canadian provinces and territories and current allocations and practices are reviewed against the “Declaration of Adjacency” and appropriate adjustments made in instances where there is an absence of an application of the adjacency principle."
Environmental- National Water Security Strategy "
that the Liberal Party of Canada update and implement the 1987 Federal Canada Water Policy, with additional attention to: Access to safe drinking water as a human right, Establishing priorities for the use of water and regulations for the sale of water, Mapping, developing and protecting the inventory of Canadian water resources, Regulating industrial and commercial waste water emissions to the highest standards."
The Conservative Party
1.October 2003, was the day when The Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada united and was going to create the conservative party. In December 2003, The conservative party was put in Canada. After the transitions had taken place they had the 2004 leadership election. They asked many premiers around Canada but they were declined until they finally found three candidates. The 3 people are Stephen Harper, Belinda Stronach and Tony Clement. In 2004 the winner was Stephen Harper with 68.9% votes. Over time there has been many elections but some have changed the conservative party. Between 2004-2005 it was a bumpy start, In 2006 the Tories released ads to Ontario's TV programs with Stephen Harper in them while they were advocating for their policies towards health care, education and child support. In the end they won over their opponent the Liberal's. In my opinion Stephen Harper was the most influential person in the conservative party because of his involvement with the conservative party since pretty much the start.
2. The current leader of the Conservative party is Andrew Scheer. A minister is like a president. They are politicians who hold the public office in a government. They make all the important decisions on laws and policies with other ministers. I went on to Andrew Scheers website (https://www.conservative.ca/team/) and the team with the conservative party includes Minster/Shadow Cabinet, MPs, Senators, National Council and the Electoral District Associations.
3. The political ideology that comes closest to the conservative party is known as the Tories which is not an official name.
4.In the news their are plenty of articles but one that caught my eye was one from when Andrew Scheer was elected leader of the Conservative Party for Canada. I chose this one because I have already learned about him so I was more familiar with the news. This article shows the battle between all the people running to become the leader of the conservative party.
5. https://www.conservative.ca/media/documents/Policy-Declaration-Feb-2014.pdf - website used
Some policies are:
Social- The conservatives believe in better access to any education by removing any obstacles for students post secondary-education. They believe that provincial jurisdiction must be respected but the federal government must play a role in addressing tuition and standards.
Economic-The Conservative Party supports laidback foreign ownership rules on Canadian industry in front with our major trading partners in the telecommunications, broadcast distribution, and airline industry. The conservatives believe the government should conduct an fast review to predict whether to reduce or wipe these rules out.
Political- The Conservative Party believes that nominees to the Supreme Court of Canada should be approved by a free vote in Parliament, after receiving the approval of the justice committee of the House of Commons.
Environmental- The Conservative Party supports the emissions to fight the smog-causing pollutants such as nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide, and volatile organic compounds. To also support the initiative to slice air pollution from industry in half by 2015.
The NDP
1. In 1958 a joint CCF-CLC committee, the National Committee for the New Party, was formed to create a fresh social democratic political party, with ten members from each group. The National Committee for the New Party spent the next three years placing the start of the New Party. During this process a large number of New Party Clubs were established to accept alike minded Canadians to join the funding. In 1961, at the end of a long founding convention which established its principles, policies and structures. The New Democratic Party was born and Tommy Douglas, the long-time Premier of Saskatchewan was elected its first leader.
2. The leader of the NDP is Jagmeet Singh. He is an activist lawyer and offered probono work for communitys fighting for social justice issues like anti-poverty and immigrant and refugee rights. Jagmeet has also hosted many free educational seminars called ‘know your rights’ for university students across the province. A minister is like a president. They are politicians who hold the public office in a government They make all the important decisions on laws and policies with other ministers.
3. The political ideology that comes closest to the NDP is closer to the left wing.
4. The first news article i found was about how Sean Conway proposed last week the he will be seeking the NDP nomination for the next provincial election this June. http://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/2017/11/11/musician-sean-conway-seeks-peterborough-kawartha-riding-ndp-nominationwww.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/2017/11/11/musician-sean-conway-seeks-peterborough-kawartha-riding-ndp-nomination

The end of WW1:
1. Is the entire war Germany's fault?
From what i know i don't think the war was all Germany's full fault. There were many countries that were responsible for partaking in the war.
2. What are some political, economical and social effects of the reparation payments be for Germany be?
Defiantly during the war the land was destroyed so they would have to invest a lot of time and money into rebuilding places and that would also mean for some people they would lose their job if it was destroyed. I would imagine the people of Germany would be pissed off so there would probably be some changes in their form of a "government" after the war.
3. Do you think the treaty does a good job ending the "war to end all wars?"
I think that the treaty doesn't really do that much in my opinion because they mostly list Germany in fault

The death penalty should be applied to people who have committed a serious crime that has killed someone else but people can be innocent but convicted for crimes they never did and die. I don't believe in an innocent person should die so in the end I don't think the death penalty should be legal.
7. How well do you think your education has prepared you for a healthy romantic relationship? What are the things you remember most when learning about sex?
The education we are taught about sex is very minimal. The basic safety is always taught but nothing else. I feel like it has given me somewhere to start but over time I learn more and more on my own. I feel like they should get into more details and advice into healthy relationships not in a sexual way. Its unfortunate how so many kids don't know what a healthy relationship looks like and it can effect the way you grow up so they should get more into "relationship education"
8. Which country appealed to you the most? Why? What ideas should Canada ‘steal’ from the rest of the world?
Finland really caught my eye because of the school systems. I think Canada's school system is ok but Finland has such a unique system. They offer free post secondary education which is amazing. For a lot of families they cant afford to pay so the child going to school would want to pick up the extra shifts at work or maybe find another job which can jeopardise the time they put into their studies. I feel like its such a big problem overworking kids because a lot of them tend to develop anxiety or turn to bad habits which can start to affect their education.
9. How do you distinguish yourself as Canadian. Often, Canadian travellers are mistaken for American. How would you feel if this happened to you? Would you correct the mistake? Why? What makes you proud to be Canadian?
In my opinion I don't really care what people think I am when I travel. I have had people ask where I'm from but it has never ended bad and I'm sure some people saw me and though oh its a white American girl. That's fine you think what u want and if someone has an issue with how I look they can take it up with me. In the end they would learn I'm a nice Canadian girl so in the end jokes on them

The Liberal Party
1. The party was founded in 1869 by George Brown. In the start of confederation the liberals had minimal success against political ploys from Conservative Prime Minister Sir John A. McDonald and his team. Later in the game eventually the liberals gained prosperous provincial organizations. Following up with the fall of John Macdonald's government over the Pacific Scandal. Stonemason Alexander Mackenzie formed Canada's first Liberal government. An economic depression and the lack of effort in Mr. Mackenzie's political efforts led up to a re election in 1878 where McDonald took the victory on a platform of trade protection. The two main people that made this happen from what I've read is John A. McDonald because he is the one who kept perfecting his work over his failures and victory's. The other person who kind of made this happen is Alexander Mackenzie because if he never failed John McDonald would have never had the chance to take redemption.
2. Justin Trudeau is the current leader of the Liberal party. A minister is like a president. They are politicians who hold the public office in a government They make all the important decisions on laws and policies with other ministers. Justin's plan for Canada's future is "to invest immediately in jobs and growth and lower taxes for the middle-class. My vision of our country is a place where everyone has a shot at success because we have the confidence and leadership to invest in Canadians." - https://www.liberal.ca/rt-hon-justin-trudeau/
3. A political ideology close to the Liberal Party is between left wing and center.
4. The most recent piece of news on the liberals was about how Scarborough—Agincourt liberals have nominated Jean Yip to be the leader of the Trudeau candidate in the up coming election. https://www.liberal.ca/scarborough-agincourt-liberals-nominate-jean-yip-as-new-team-trudeau-candidate/

Some policies are:
Social- The protection of LGBTQ2 rights and refugees "The Liberal Party of Canada will encourage the Minister of Foreign Affairs to exercise their responsibility in denying export permits for states determined and identified by the United Nations to have threaten the safety or security of human life because of their sexual orientation or gender identity."
Economic- Medicare coverage for treatment of autism " the Canada Health Act be amended to include Medicare coverage for Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or, alternatively, the Government of Canada work with all provincial and territorial governments to ensure inclusion of ABA for ASD within their respective Medical Services Plans."
Political- Adjacency Principle "the “Declaration of Adjacency” shall be the defining principle that forms the basis of managing the allocation of resources in the coastal areas and regions of Canadian provinces and territories and current allocations and practices are reviewed against the “Declaration of Adjacency” and appropriate adjustments made in instances where there is an absence of an application of the adjacency principle."
Environmental- National Water Security Strategy "

The Conservative Party
1.October 2003, was the day when The Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada united and was going to create the conservative party. In December 2003, The conservative party was put in Canada. After the transitions had taken place they had the 2004 leadership election. They asked many premiers around Canada but they were declined until they finally found three candidates. The 3 people are Stephen Harper, Belinda Stronach and Tony Clement. In 2004 the winner was Stephen Harper with 68.9% votes. Over time there has been many elections but some have changed the conservative party. Between 2004-2005 it was a bumpy start, In 2006 the Tories released ads to Ontario's TV programs with Stephen Harper in them while they were advocating for their policies towards health care, education and child support. In the end they won over their opponent the Liberal's. In my opinion Stephen Harper was the most influential person in the conservative party because of his involvement with the conservative party since pretty much the start.
2. The current leader of the Conservative party is Andrew Scheer. A minister is like a president. They are politicians who hold the public office in a government. They make all the important decisions on laws and policies with other ministers. I went on to Andrew Scheers website (https://www.conservative.ca/team/) and the team with the conservative party includes Minster/Shadow Cabinet, MPs, Senators, National Council and the Electoral District Associations.
3. The political ideology that comes closest to the conservative party is known as the Tories which is not an official name.
4.In the news their are plenty of articles but one that caught my eye was one from when Andrew Scheer was elected leader of the Conservative Party for Canada. I chose this one because I have already learned about him so I was more familiar with the news. This article shows the battle between all the people running to become the leader of the conservative party.
5. https://www.conservative.ca/media/documents/Policy-Declaration-Feb-2014.pdf - website used

The conservatives believe the government should conduct an fast review to predict whether to reduce or wipe these rules out.

Environmental- The Conservative Party supports the emissions to fight the smog-causing pollutants such as nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide, and volatile organic compounds. To also support the initiative to slice air pollution from industry in half by 2015.
The NDP
1. In 1958 a joint CCF-CLC committee, the National Committee for the New Party, was formed to create a fresh social democratic political party, with ten members from each group. The National Committee for the New Party spent the next three years placing the start of the New Party. During this process a large number of New Party Clubs were established to accept alike minded Canadians to join the funding. In 1961, at the end of a long founding convention which established its principles, policies and structures. The New Democratic Party was born and Tommy Douglas, the long-time Premier of Saskatchewan was elected its first leader.
2. The leader of the NDP is Jagmeet Singh. He is an activist lawyer and offered probono work for communitys fighting for social justice issues like anti-poverty and immigrant and refugee rights. Jagmeet has also hosted many free educational seminars called ‘know your rights’ for university students across the province. A minister is like a president. They are politicians who hold the public office in a government They make all the important decisions on laws and policies with other ministers.

The end of WW1:
1. Is the entire war Germany's fault?
From what i know i don't think the war was all Germany's full fault. There were many countries that were responsible for partaking in the war.
2. What are some political, economical and social effects of the reparation payments be for Germany be?
Defiantly during the war the land was destroyed so they would have to invest a lot of time and money into rebuilding places and that would also mean for some people they would lose their job if it was destroyed. I would imagine the people of Germany would be pissed off so there would probably be some changes in their form of a "government" after the war.
3. Do you think the treaty does a good job ending the "war to end all wars?"
I think that the treaty doesn't really do that much in my opinion because they mostly list Germany in fault
