What I've Learned in Mr. Fielders Class This Semester

     The thing I learned most is learning the background and history of the Rwandan Genocide. From watching Hotel Rwanda to Writing the Paul R. letters it covered the whole topic from left right. Without going over the Genocide I probably would never have known about it. I learned that people were killed by their neighbors or friend because small differences. Also that people were brain washed by the interahamway people through a radio station. During the debate, any small holes or questions I had were answered by my fellow classmates.
     I also learned a lot about the Australian aborigines. How they were set aside and pushed off their land so the British could dump their convicts there. How their children were taken, to go to British schools so they would leave their thoughts and culture behind. How the British were attempting to breed the aborigines out of existence, to abolish the whole culture as the British schools were also for. The Rabbit Proof Fence movie was very powerful looking at it in a way other than knowing absolutely nothing about the topic, And recently learning that the aborigines were hunted as if they were rabbits was an amazement to me. Also reading walkabout didn’t do much for me considering the last three or four chapters were way off topic to the rest of the book.
     I have learned much doing the article responses every so often that I now know what is expected from Mr. Fielder every week, and in the beginning of the year when he knew that we weren’t ready for two paragraphs he was right. From learning how to develop a paragraph the whole first card marking, I now know how to develop the first paragraph and base the second paragraph as support for the first one.
    I also learned to use the correct apostrophes and capitalization when writing papers. At first I was not so good at placing the correct apostrophes where they should go, but after a few lectures about the Jones’s I don’t think I will forgetting how to place apostrophes, and use the correct capitalization skills.
     I believe that I also achieved the goal of being in global ed. in this semester. I have learned that not all the different cultures we have learned about are not all the same, and that what we might think is weird or a lot different then what we are use to isn’t always different to other countries or cultures it’s a normal or regular thing to them.

Native American

Thesis: When considering the natives of America, Australia, Rwanda, and South Africa I would be a Native America to America.
     I would be a native American rather than a native to Australia, Rwanda or South Africa because if you were to look at the back ground of the other countries, they were much worse than the native Americans when the British first colonized here. The Australians (Blazer) were "hunted as if they were rabbits" when the British convicts were put in Australia, the Rwandans were hacked to death by ther fellow neighbors, and in South Africa people ended out in a couple wars, after they were pushed out of there land and came back several times.
     The native Americans were moved away from a part of there land at first and the British were just told to stay away from the Appilation Mt.s, were the dividing line of the natives and the colonizeing  British. As life went on with the British colonies, there was conflict with home land and the french wanting the land of the settlers, the natives got into all of it and fought a few wars with the french and British. Later on in life the Americans/British made meny purchase of land from the natives so they had less land but they were paid for it.
