Rwandan Patriotic Front

My group was the Rwandan Patriotic Front. We were issued in many conversations. I thought the whole discussion went very well with everyone issuing there own complaints. Many times it may have gotten off topic but we came through and had a very interesting debate. I actually learn much from the debate and hope I can see another one in the future of Mr. Fielders class. I also would like to say that there were a few groups that didn’t defend there selves while they were being addressed, but they had hard topics. I also enjoyed that each group had there own opening statement to just address the whole matter, then it went straight to an open discussion. It seemed at first no one wanted to really talk or start any discussions but that happens with every thing that’s done out loud in class, no one wants to start off simple because they don’t know what’s being asked to be done. Hopefully the choose of a model un or a similar discussion will be the way to go over topics like this one.
I think that the fault should go on many different groups, I think I United Nations just blew off the whole situation. The Interhameway messed with everything, Belgium and French didn’t help much either.

The American Scholar

Thesis: Emerson’s argument in "The American Scholar” about American society doesn't holds true today.


    American people are not trained to do one thing in this world today, they my have been in the past but the way the economy is people aren’t holding to one known job. If a person were to have one job to live for every day there wouldn’t be enough jobs for everyone to have their own, there isn’t enough jobs now for everyone that works. Due to the fact that there are so many jobs along with people they need to alternate and be able to do multiply things, like the present day assemble line. Many jobs have a rights list and people have different rights to work with certain things.

    In the article "The American Scholar" Emerson states that people are made into machines when they are told to know one thing. Emerson also gives an example, if your born on a farm, raised on a farm, and do farm work then you probably going to do farm work. Well when your on a farm you do your own work, you plow the different types of fields with different types of equipment, you need to know how to run the electronics in your combines. There are multiply things needed to be known to be a farmer or do anything in life. So the point I'm trying to make is that a person cant only know one thing multiply things are needed when doing anything.
