Social Studys gaming addiction

My Opinion: Parents should set a time limit on their PlayStation if they’re using one or turn the wifi router off and only turn it back on when their child is asleep. So my opinion is parents shouldn’t ban their kids just set a time limit.

How to stop your kid from getting an addiction to technology: Parents can stop kids from getting an addiction by being very strict with the amount of time they get on their console or technology.

How many hours do I play a day: Probably 1-3 hours a day normally3 when its raining but not as much as that when its fine.

Social Study's Poll Tax

My opinion on the Poll Tax: It’s dumb to jury people on there rase but all the other people got in for free they just targeted the Chinese

Why was it targeting Chinese: Because they’re racist

What is a poll tax? Its charging people to come into the country

Did they ever get paid back: Yes you can apply and get funding for stuff.

What was the yellow peril: The Yellow Peril is a racist colour-metaphor

Social Studys

My opinion: The teachers should get a pay rise because there isn’t anyone training to be a teacher
because they won't be getting enough money

Why is this happening: Because there aren’t enough teachers because the teachers do not get enough
money.

What I think should happen next: Teachers should go on strike until they get an agreement with
the government.

How does going on strike affect kids: We miss a day of quality learning and
parents have to work from home

Social Studys #3 Vietnam War

My Opinion: There should be half and half of each Communism and Capitalism a good comparison is New Zealand, when you go to a doctor and you’re under the age of 18 they pay for it but with Capitalism none of that happens, Also when you retire you don’t get a pention but here we do.

What Happened: People were fighting over Communism and Capitalism. America was worried about the spread of communism.

When: 1955, 1975. During that time millions of people got killed.

Why did this happen: America started to fight because they were getting scared of communism being brought into America.

What happened/how were they fighting: The USA was trying to stop the spread of communism in the south of Vietnam. The Viet Cong used a surprise attack by tunnelling and ambushing the American soldiers.

What is the peace movement: University students in the USA didn’t support the war or violence and started protests all across America. The war was unpopular. It was unpopular with lots of Americans. Which is odd because they were fighting for America...There was no clear objective. They didn’t declare war. The media made it seem unwinnable as the news showed body counts each day.

What was New Zealand’s involvement: We were allies of America through ANZUS!

The Dawn Raids Social Studys

                                                           The dawn raids




(My Opinion) It was unfair how some people kept their jobs and over people got their houses raided and got sent back to there home.



What Happened: After world war 2 there some difficulty with jobs, mainly bosses were giving free jobs away to overseas workers.


When did this happen: Mid 1970’s to the early 80’s.


Why did this happen? The police were kicking people out because people didn’t have working visas even though they said they could stay and that caused lots of racism.


Why was there difficulty with jobs? Because everyone was running out of working visas that were from the Pacific islands.

Social Study SLAM!

I personally think mining shouldn’t be banned but for this bit of writing, I got drawn out of a hat to write about why it should be banned so let's start. I think the idea of stopping mining is good because people will be running out of coal which means people won't have coal for there fires, which means people might start getting heat pumps instead of a fire and could help stop global warming. It could also save peoples lives if the mine blew up and people got stuck and starved to death. Like pike river mine. Mining is an old-fashioned source of energy. If you mine coal it doesn’t come back! But if you cut trees down they grow back! And trees absorb carbon. SO PEOPLE WAKE UP WATER IS RISING AND WILL DESTROY ALL COUNTRIES. AND WE WILL HAVE TO EVACUATE WITH THE POWERFUL ROCKETS THAT WE HAVE AND WILL LAUNCH US TO JUPITER.

Nuclear weapons are great so is nuclear power US will lead the world in nuclear products like nuclear warship and nuclear bombs but new zealand is not going with nuclear weapons they going nuclear free what are they going to use to defend themselves if there was a nuclear war  

New zealand became nuclear free in 1987, No one is allowed to have nuclear in new zealand or inside New zealand's border, if they come into New zealand the New zealand navy will get them to leave.

Every step of the nuclear cycle is dangerous and polluting.

Having nuclear powered vessels or nuclear weapons in new zealand raises the risk of an accident

Where did they test bomb:Aktobe kazakhstan Balapan Semipalatinsk  

When did they test the bomb: 1987 december.

What type of bomb: It was nuclear atomic bomb.

Writing From Different Perspective

why is this road being built. It is being built so people don’t have to travel so far and it will be a good road to drive.       

How much will money will they need to do it. They need 230m   

What will be good about it: That families will be able to have better picnics and be able to travel around the south island faster and FINALLY get some good fish and people will be able to get to the lake quicker and a better / smoother road there and it will get haast some more customers

The road is going through haast to milford sound

Things that a similar but worse: Well 230m is a lot of money and our parents will have to pay for it because of tax but atleast they are spending it on something good like instead of a flag we are getting a new road that more people will use than a flag, I reckon this is a good idea because more people will use it instead of just looking at a flag.

Rainbow Warrior Bombing

                                                      

Where did they bomb: They went to the Pacific ocean to find an atoll to put a nuclear bomb on a atoll.

How did they do it: they found the rainbow warrior and dropped a bomb on it so they didn’t go out to the pacific ocean and reck there planning to drill into the pacific and drop a nuclear bomb onto it and it never stood a chance

What did people do: Well greenpeace went there in a boat and the french mean went there and bombed it because they were there with flags say nooooo so the french blown the boat up and carried on.

What did they bomb: They put a bomb on a atoll so there was a massive explosion. And it only killed one person they did it not expecting to have anyone in there there was a lady named Christine Hade  

Where is the rainbow warrior now: On 12 December 1987, two years after it was blown up in Auckland Harbour, the Rainbow Warrior was scuttled to become a dive site. The boat was sunk off Matauri Bay, quite close to the Cavalli Islands.

Fun fact probably Two DGSE officers, Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart, were arrested on 24 July.

1981 springbok tour.

Held at: Rugby park hamilton (Waikato Stadium)

How it started: the Springbok said the coloured people can’t play because they didn't want to touch the black people because they're that racist

What they were doing: they got a plane and made it circled the park and where dropping smoke bombs flour bombs and flares and one of the flour bomb hit gary knight and made him fall

How did New Zealand break the rules: They broke the rules because the commonwealth countries were not supposed to play the any south african teams

How one the game that was interrupted: The springbok was down by one 18-19 with 15 minutes left but the game got cancelled caused of Smoke bombs, flares, and lots of other violence, it got too dangerous for the players one of them got hit in the head by a bomb. So they stopped the game and the teams went into the changing room with a final score of 18-19.
