Socratic Seminar

Last class we were suppose to have a calm and thoughtful Socratic seminar and unfortunately many of the people in our class were out of order. Miss.Conway had a hard time controlling us and making us pay attention. Thus this made it harder to listen to what was happening in class, but a few good points helped flashed me. For example how the change should occure. I thought that there was a good debate over that question. some of the people thought that change should occure quickly for example after a war they should arrange everything rapidly. others thought that the change shoudl occure slowly in things such as laws and all so that every body has time to get used to things. Hanane, Meryem, and Shemsi did come up with a good ideas concerning this topic. Everyone were having their own point of views. A few were taking notes while others were participating. The seminar could not be continued because of our intolerable behavior. The way i could have done better is if i didnt listen to the people that were annoying me and concentrated at a 100%. Sorry miss. Conway for what happened.

No Haitians were seen escaping to florida

 After the very harsh earthquakes the Haitians have faces a Natural disaster. They had an earthquake of magnitude 7.0 on the Richter scale, this was already a big disaster for the people. many of them have lost their homes, husbands, wives, children, parents, and loved ones. not only is it that they are under the shock by they fear a big after shock. 
Since the united states government knows that all the people are living in a very stressed environment. Everybody is trying to survive this catastrophe, so they think that a lot of people are going to attempt the illegal immigration to Florida. According to their last updates, they said that nobody attempted to do so they have taken all the necessary precautions such as providing 10,000 shelters for them. 
I think that is good that they help the people that do not have been affected by an incredible precaution. Also they are looking forwards to help people through helicopters using radios to say where help is necessary.
