I learned that AI Gore won the nobel prize Monday. And urged the United States and China to make the boldest moves on climate change or stand accountable before history for their failure to act. Gore shared the Nobel prize with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, for sounding the alarm over global warming and spreading awareness on how to counteract it. And U.N. panel was represented at the ceremony by its leader, Rajendra Pachauri.
The former vice president urged China and the U.S. -- the world's biggest carbon emitters -- to "make the boldest moves, or stand accountable before history for their failure to act.

His remarks came as governments met in Bali, Indonesia, to start work on a new international treaty to reduce climate-damaging carbon dioxide emissions. Gore and Pachauri plan to fly there Wednesday to join the climate talks.The Bush administration opposed the Kyoto treaty on climate change, saying it would hurt the U.S. economy and objecting that fast developing nations like China and India were not required to reduce emissions.One of the economics winners, Leonid Hurwicz, 90, and the literature prize winner, 88-year-old British writer Doris Lessing, could not travel to Stockholm. They will receive their awards at later ceremonies in Minnesota and London, respectively.

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Heroes may seem old-fashioned today. Many people are cynical and seem to enjoy discrediting role models more than creating new ones or cherishing those they already have. Some people, moreover, object to the very idea of heroes, arguing that we should not exalt individuals who, after all, are only flesh and blood, just like the rest of us. But we desperately need heroes—to teach us, to captivate us through their words and deeds, to inspire us to greatness.
Adapted from Psychology Today, "How To Be Great! What Does It Take To Be A Hero?"
Assignment:
Is there a value in celebrating certain individuals as heroes? Plan and write a blog in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

To me yes there is a celebrting certain individuals as heroes.Why cause one he shows young people that there are good people in the world,and you can be just like them but you really don't have to have powers like cartoon charaters you can just be yourself and do good deeds for yourself nad others. Also celebrating certaains individuals as heros can also help the youth in wanting to be that person that is being celebrated meaning that one, or more young children or teens want to make themselfs better.

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the prompt below.
People are happy only when they have their minds fixed on some goal other than their own happiness. Happiness comes when people focus instead on the happiness of others, on the improvement of humanity, on some course of action that is followed not as a means to anything else but as an end in itself. Aiming at something other than their own happiness, they find happiness along the way. The only way to be happy is to pursue some goal external to your own happiness.

Are people more likely to be happy if they focus on goals other than their own happiness? Plan and write a blog in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

People now of days are most likely to be happy if they focus on goals other than their own happiness. Cause to me if u really want something go out and get mainly because if u really love what you want to do as a goal. Then when you finish your happiness will wonderful cause you achieved something that you been wanting for the longest, and your happiness is truly great.

Read and interpret the following quote by Benjamin Franklin. Describe what you think it means. Do you agree with it, why or why not. Share any experiences that may help you describe your view.
“Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing”
-Benjamin Franklin
(1706-1790)

To me I think that it means be careful on chosing your friends, and think twice before calling that person male or female your cause you really think you that person but you really don't. And i agree with benjamin franklinquote is saying , but why did I choose to believe this quote is cause now of days you don't know who is your friend or enemy. Just cause you know a little information about a person that you know for a short or a even longer time doesn't make them your friend.
