Unit 2: Assignment 1: Preview Reflection Blog Post: When is Breaking the Law Justified?

1. List five purposes of the government.

• To tell the truth I really don't know what A government does. All i know is what i heard and people say that they help people and the community.

2. Would you be willing to join a revolution if our government was not fulfilling the purposes of government you listed above? Why? Why not?

• I guess if they didnt do what they were suppose to do then I would be willing to join the revolution because thats what they are suppose to do. And whats point of helping someone that doesnt want to help you?

- What did you learn about life in the colonies from reading this document?

• I learned that in the colonies that the man ran the household but he shouldnt do it to be mean or bossy but to take care of the family. And that the woman should take care of the household and should be under the mans government.

- What surprised you the most about what you read?

• What surprised me the most is that they really work together other than the husband thelling the wife what to do because on movies, in the old days I always see the husband pushing the wife around.

- Compare and contrast the differences between American life today and life for Americans during the colonial era.

• The difference between American life today and Americans during the colonial era is that the women have the same rights and oppertunities as the man does now and she doesnt have to stay in the house all day and clean up unless she really wants to. But its still the same because they have to help one another through sickness and in health and that they have to love one another with all of there heart.

Assignment 1: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

What motivates immigrants to come to the United States today is that we have more freedom then most countries, and that we have a lot more job opportunities. But the United States isn't all that good either because the prices of everything are getting higher and higher. If it was me I wouldn't leave my country because I have too much to loose like my family, my home, and to top it all off I have to go to another place that I don't even know about. Plus it could be really hard to adapt in another area because you are so us to eating the types of food that you catch. And when you go to another place you probably wont have the same types of food that you had back where you us to stay.
