From a constitutional standpoint, do you agree or disagree with prayer being held prior to public meetings?  Defend your answer

No, because some people are not Christian so praying is going against their religion. The first amendment states that people have a right to freedom but doesn't praying before a meeting violate the amendment?

Debate facts organ donating

Mandatory organ donating can save lives. In the US there is a long list of people waiting for organs. If we would donate and a organ a day we could save lives. In black market organs are 1,000 dollars.

Non Organ Donating stops us from freedom. And a grieving family wouldn't want to watch their family member be cut open. They keep your heart alive when they take your organ. Why take organs from people who have bad organs. We would have a choice on organs.

If we donate then what age do we start to sign up for the organ donating?

Early Life

The only child of Jawaharlal Nehru and the first prime minister of independent India, Indira Gandhi was born on November 19, 1917. A stubborn and highly intelligent young woman, she enjoyed an excellent education in Swiss schools and at Somerville College, Oxford.
After her mother died, in 1936, Gandhi became something of her father's hostess, learning to navigate complex relationships of diplomacy with some of the great leaders of the world.

Political Career

Gandhi was elected president of the Indian National Congress in 1960. After her father’s death, Gandhi was appointed minister of information and broadcasting. When her father’s successor, Lal Bahadur Shastri, died abruptly in 1966, India’s congress appointed her to the post of prime minister.
She surprised her father’s old colleagues when she led with a strong hand, sacking some of highest-ranking officials. Gandhi subsequently brought about great change in agricultural programs that improved the lot of her country’s poor. For a time, she was hailed as a hero.

Diplomatic Success

In 1971, the Pakistan army conducted violent acts against the people of East Pakistan. Nearly 10 million people fled to India. Gandhi invited the Pakistani president to Shimla for a weeklong summit.
The two leaders eventually signed the Shimla Agreement, agreeing to resolve the dispute of Kashmir by peaceful means. Her work eventually led to the creation of the new and independent nation of Bangladesh.
Gandhi also led a movement that became known as the Green Revolution. In an effort to address the chronic food shortages that mainly affected the extremely poor Sikh farmers of the Punjab region, Gandhi decided to increase crop diversification and food exports as a way out of the problem, creating new jobs as well as food for her countrymen.

Authoritarian Leanings and Imprisonment

Despite these advancements, Gandhi ruled with an authoritarian hand, and corruption boiled within her congress and her national and state governments. In 1977, the high courts found her guilty of a minor infraction during the year’s elections and called for her resignation. Gandhi responded by requesting that the president call for a state of emergency.
Gandhi lost the next election and was later imprisoned. In 1980, the country responded differently and she won by a landslide majority. That same year, her son Sanjay Gandhi (b. 1946), who had been serving as her chief political adviser, died in a plane crash in New Delhi. After Sanjay's death, Indira prepared her other son, Rajiv (b. 1944), for leadership.

Assassination

During the 1980s, a Sikh separatist movement developed in India, which Gandhi attempted to repress.
Sikh extremists held a campaign inside the Golden Temple, and Gandhi ordered some 70,000 soldiers to purge the sacred space. More than 450 people died.
On October 31, 1984, a trusted bodyguard, who was a Sikh, pulled out a .38 revolver and shot her point-blank. Another bodyguard, also a Sikh, then took out an automatic weapon and shot 30 rounds into her body. Gandhi died on the way to the hospital

Indira Gandhi Achievements

 Indira Gandhi became president of Indian National Congress in 1959 and served as Minister of Information and Broadcasting during Lal Bahadur Shastri's tenure; she became Prime Minister in 1966; nationalized major banks in 1969; created  the slogan of Garibi Hatao during  the 1971 general elections; led India to a decisive war against Pakistan in 1971.
Becoming the first woman Prime Minister of India was no ordinary feat, in a male-dominated society, she embodied feminism in India.
Even today she is referred in rural India as Indira-Amma which means "mother" in many Indian languages. The Garibi Hatao slogan coined by her has become the voice at many Congress political campaigns reflecting the ideology of the party. The Indira Awaas Yojana, which is named after her is a programme aimed to provide low-cost housing to rural poor. The international airport at New Delhi is named after Indira Gandhi.

There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.

 1.  Do you agree or disagree with changing the name?  Defend your position in one paragraph.
   I feel that if it's hurting people's feelings then they shouldn't be allowed to use the name. Although, if majority vote for the name then maybe others should just accept it. But, if the name was offensive to blacks or whites they would change the name in a heart beat.

Response to My Grandchild

I've reached out and touched as many hearts and souls as possible. I changed the lives of people that have bad memories. Saved as many people from death at the hospital as I could, and the ones I lost were not forgotten. I protected my family from harm, and made the life of my children better than even I had as a child.

You can know when something bad is going to happen, watch for any terrorist activity, and people can't post something against our state.

It forced them to do right by the people. It killed and manipulated everyone into doing something they didn't want to. And almost put them in grave danger.

3. Do you want to have that kind of technology in our community, like our school or municipality? Defend your stand.

No, because i'd be afraid of something like that happening to us.

Personal 9/11 Stories

 
Trisha from Brooklyn writes: How she had joked with her friends about someone hitting the towers. Suddenly the towers were hit and reality set in for her. She experienced the the second tower fall while scared holding her baby. She then abandons her house due to how close it was to the towers. She even supports people through the terror of the attack giving them whatever they need.

Geoff Bromilow of Adelaide Hills writes: That he was showing off his wood sculpures in Manhatten. Getting ready to head toward the resturant on top of the World Trade Center. He then found out about the towers and changed course for a place of peace. He photographed the event but wasn't really noted for them except in a book about war and peace.

Julie Stahl of Greenwich Village, New York writes: That she was at her apartment near the towers when thew first plane hit. They climbed to the roof and was heart broken by what they saw happening. She remembers the firefighters leaving but not coming back unless they were dead. She still remembers the smell of the burning bodies. Which is what made her the most sad.

I Have A Dream Assignment

    “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

 

    I think it means that if the people stayed silent about the way they were treated they would never be able to move past, and achieve what they want. That they need ed to speak up and voice their opinion not keep it quiet. The quote applies because back then the blacks had no rights so they didn't speak up. But if they were quiet they wouldn't get the freedom they deserved. So, when they spoke up they received their freedom.
