Explosions Rock Libyan Capital; Opposition Seeks 'Heavy' Weapons.

I don't think the United Nations should supply the rebels with the weaponry they are asking for. Other words, The sort of involvement I think the United Nations should have in another countries civil war is we shouldn't get into it unless we have to. If innocent people are getting killed then yes we should step in but other wise if it doesn't have to do with us with us, why join another war?

Please explain in your own words what the conflict is and why the fighting began.

The conflict is M.E and N.A protesting against there government. The fighting began because they were mad about high unemployment, Oppression, lack of housing and distribution of wealth. All are just economics. America is trying to stay there distance, but if there killing innocent people we feel the need to help them out. He's about to lose control of his country and he knows it so he's trying to get us and everyone else on his side. I don't think he will win this.

Do you think the punishment fits the crime? Why or why not?

I think the punishment fits the crime. He's in jail for pretty much the rest of his life like he should be. He commited an awful crime and will have to pay for his mistakes. So being in jail for the rest of his life seems like a pretty good punishment for the horrible thing he did. I think the punishment could have gotten even worse though.

how has your definition of the word changed? Why is understanding culture important?

My definition of the word culture still means the behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic, or age group.  Understanding culture is important because you need to know not everyone comes from the same back round. Everyone's different in there own way.

Maine is looking to make some major budget cuts

I think these changes are a good idea. They don't take money away from people that are struggling, or need help.

In dueling rallies, views collide over benefit cuts

I don't think that teachers salary's should be cut. I don't think state workers should have their benefits cuts because there working citizens and deserve the pay they are giving. What they should do is take it away from prison funding. They don't need the money as much as people like teachers do and they already don't get payed as much as they should so why take more away.

If you moved to a new country, what parts of your culture would you change?

If I moved to a new culture I would refuse to change my religion and the things I celebrate. Also how I dressed. I wouldn't really want to change a lot. But I would like to learn how to speak a new language. Another I wouldn't mind eating there food(if it was good). In the end I would mostly just want to stay with the same culture I've always known.
