=__**Podcast**__= =** Introduction paragraph: **= ====**Hello there! My name is Savvy and i'm eleven! I am half canadian and half armenian. Here is a little more about me. When I was young I thought that when I grew up it would be the same as now, easy and no problems to worry about. Now I realize that I was wrong. When you grow up you start to sit down with your parents more and talk about beliefs mostly and now you actually have to follow them and not make taboo.** ** I believe in many things but here are my mostly followed beliefs. **====

** Paragraph #1 **
====** Because of my school life experience I believe in creativity and uniqueness. I believe that everyone is creative and unique in his or her own way. I most of my schools I have been friendly to almost everyone and I know some people who are really creative. People who don't really fit in are usually very creative but since they are 'lower class' to others they mean nothing to the people who are 'higher class'. I know that people who are 'lower class' try to change to become more popular but I believe that they should not change because they are perfect just the way they are. **** I developed this idea in my old school **** when there was 1 kid who was really creative but she never fit in so I used to hang out with her sometimes. When people tell me that they are going to try to change I tell them that they are perfect just the way they are. This belief influences me and everyone around to today because if someone is down I try to help them, to see who they want to talk to or to leave them in peace and quiet if thats what they want. This may be only one of my beliefs, but it’s one of my most righteous beliefs. **====

paragraph #2
====** Throughout my life I have seen people laughing and at the same instant moment they smile and then I wonder why they smile so I tried. For some reason I also always smile after I laugh so another belief that follows me is laughter. I believe in this because when you laugh you are calmer and you release all of your stress. I know people who laugh a lot are jolly than people who dont laugh. I developed this idea when I get bored or their is full silence I start to giggle because of something funny that happened a while ago. This influences my daily life because when i'm mad or bored, I go to my mom or dad and ask them to tell me some jokes and then I feel better and go back ton studying. Laughter is such a good thing to have because when your really stressed and you start to laugh with your friends or family and you just forget everything and it makes the rest of your day happy. Laughter is also a good thing because its a time were you and your friends or family gather around and all start to laugh! Imagine if you could never laugh? How depressed would you be? and remember "Laughter is the best medicine!" **====

Paragraph #3
=== Imagine you were sick and no-one was there to support you or if you only had 6 days to live and no-one came to visit you how sad would you feel? I believe in Health because without health you can not accept life's opportunities. When most people hear the word health they think of medicine, I do to but for me health is also friends and family and the happiness of being alive to take life's risks. If you were a teenager and was always on the computer you would never know much about the outer world. You would never be able to experience what a normal teenager should experience. I developed this thought throughout my whole life. Me and my mom would sometimes talk about it but we all have also experienced it. Haven't you ever been to a hospital were you were on antibiotics or some type of medicine or have you ever felt a time where you feel no-one cares about you? Probably, well for me this is when you have 'bad health'. I have experienced both of these feelings, after my surgery I was on meds just to make sure everything went well after the surgery and to help me breath. I have also experienced the other 'bad health' feeling, I have felt where no-one cares about me even family. This thought influences my daily life because when I go to the hospital I know ill be fine and when I have no-friends I know some-one will be there for me and to hang out with me for a while. Imagine if you were sick and no-one came to visit you? how would you feel? === __** Concluding Paragraph: **__ Now that you guys know my beliefs you must really wonder what i'm like or how I live! Now that you know I believe in creativity, when you may see someone looking down go to the and turn their frown upside down. We may be similar in other ways like I believe 'laughter is the best medicine!' My last belief is that people care about you even if you think they don't and we all have bad times. Well i'm probably just the same as you but with other things to worry about and other things to about and other things to follow. Don't you think?

= Beliefs assignment #3 =

Laughter and it's influence
= **I strongly agree that laughter makes you happier and people become more relaxed. I can agree in many more ways but when I hear people laugh I just crack up. I never knew that laughter keeps the blood flowing and gets you less stressed. I really should laugh more! HAHAHA!** =

Recovering the hope of children!
I believe that it is good to help poor little children and to stop terrorism but I still believe that we can do it in a better way. I believe that there is another way to help these poor kids and to stop terrorism. =You Meet People for a Reason = I never really thought of this belief but I do agree with it. I do believe that we meet people for a reason. When you walk in a door and you see people and you eventually say hi that may lead you somewhere good in life.

__**Beliefs assignment #2**__ =Thirty Things I Believe = Tarak is a 7 year old pre-K student and on there're 100th day of school and they have to bring in 100 things of whatever they want. Some kids brought what a normal Pre-K would bing like a 100 cherries or 100 cotton ball but Tarak is a very smart kids so he decided to bring in 100 thongs that he believes in. He spent hours working on this with him mom but he says all of the words are his. These 100 believes had to be shortened to 30 believes so that he could put them on the radio.

__** Beliefs pre-unit reflection **__ I have many beliefs that I follow. Beleives are a big part of my life because me and my family. My family genes are christian so I believe in god tough I rarely go to church. I do believe that laughter makes you happier because its a time where you and friends or family are happy together. I believe that everyone will be loved and if they can'y see that person there will always be that one person in the world waiting for you to come. I believe that everybody is equal and perfect. I dont believe in favorites or how some people think that they are better than other and how they make people feel bad or make other people unconfident. No-body is perfect.

=__ Unit Reflection... __= changes both cultures. ||  || People exchanged ideas in many ways. The two main ways cultures are by war and trade. When two countries interact by war the stronger country usually influences the weaker country, or the stronger country may want something from a weaker country so they are attacking for a special item. I learned in Chapter 24 and in the video. ||  || When I lived in Jordan their was a lot of oil, surrounding countries had war against them to have the land where the oil was. Jordan also has a dead sea which is a sea with salt in it so people would float when they swam, surrounding countries always wanted this sea because of it features. Also in Armenia there is a famous mountain named Mt. Ararat but the turkish wanted it so they had a war and moved the border so they took Mt. Ararat. || cultures come into contact. ||  || Japan and America were interacted by war. I learned this in the __When my name was Keoko name.__ ||  || When I had my operation in the hospital they had a Korean restaurant that served the Japanese soup and sushi (Japanese type) || cultures? ||  || I think that people identify with their cultures because they follow their rules and customs. Muslims aren't allowed to eat pork so when they go abroad to countries when they look at menu's they ask to make sure that they have no pork in them. I learned this in photocopied booklet. ||  || When I lived in Jordan the main religion was muslim so when ever I went to restaurant we took about 20 minutes to order because we had to make sure nothing had pork in it. Every time we went to a restaurant I said Why dont you just eat what I'm eating (which most likely had pork) and then they told me that they would be breaking their trust with their gods and breaking the rules. || take place? ||  || One person from one culture can meet with another person from another and talk about their cultures. They can talk about anything like about ideas, products, specialties and many other things. ||  || When my mom goes to work and there are new people she asks them come to our house. When they start talking I can usually hear them talking about what they did in the country before here and the rules and clothing restrictions. || of diffusion? ||  || People traded many products and ideas mainly in the market. Here is an example of trade: Romans started weaning silk from china. I learned this in chapter 24. ||  || The Korean restaurant Arirang served Japanese food. At the restaurant they served a lot of Japanese sushi and other traditional dishes but added along some Korean dishes. || interact in positive, neutral, and negative ways? ||  || Negative: People interact by war --> Neutral: they don't really change their opinion. They dont really inter fear. --> Positive: By trade or by 'coffee' or by 'tea' and discussion their ideas. --> I learnt this in chapter 24 and The wiki pictures. ||  || I see this type of interaction in many places. In Bangladesh you see many negative interaction because each political party has a different idea. I was born in Switzerland which is considered a very neutral country because there are no riots or hertals or anything like that. I have experienced positive but not as big as negative and neutral interaction. When my mom leaves to a country she ask's her friends if they want anything from wherever she is going and when they leave they buy her things and they give it to each other. This would be considered as trading but in a smaller version. ||
 * **Big Understanding/**

 * What from the unit helped me to**
 * understand this?** ||  || **Connections to today or to self** ||
 * Interaction between cultures
 * trade and War are the main ways
 * What is culture? ||  || Culture is many elements of tradition that create a society. I learned this in the When my name was Keoko and the photocopied booklet. ||   || In the Soviet times Nardi was a game that countries played besides Armenia. Then Armenians started playing the game but they modified the game and made it more Armenian. This game is still being modified by different people now a days. If you ever go to Vernesage in Armenia you will find many different ways to play the same game. Armenia aslo has a modified version of the clarinet witch is called the du-Dukt. ||

=__ The Rise of Civilization Unit: Reflection __=


 * //Ancient developed a lot to survive and to make things to help us survive. Early Humans were the first to create stable houses and without stable houses we would always be moving. Early humans also made the Stable Food Supply, the Stable Food Supply helps us today because we dont need to hunt or gather and we can just get food from the supermarket. The Stable Food Supply also helps us because we never have to starve or wait for food to come to us. The Sumerians created a lot of things like the Wheel, Sun - Baked Bricks, Beer and lots of other things. One of the important things they made was permanent shelters, like I talked about before, Permanent Shelters are important because we can just stay in one area and not move because a mammoth tore down our area because we went hunting. You wanna hear something really interesting....about the Mayans Technology? We mayans were the first Civilization to make the calendar. Our calendar is just like your, we have 365 days, the exact same as your one today!// **
