Little Brody is seeing wealthy people walking by him and his mom. Brody is laying on the ground, thinking about his stomach, which is rumbling, when an young lady walks by. She looks wealthy and happy and she even don`t glint at the little boy. Brody closes his eyes, while thinking about his own situation. A short time after, the little boy is asleep. His little nose is breathing excited.

American values

Values are tied to history of a country and experiences in addition to our ancestors’ dreams. In this text, I will reflect on American values and the reason why the values are so important to the citizens.

 

The topic text I have chosen as my main focus are the history of America and its society, in Stunt. America sustains of many values. Many of the values come in addition of experiences and the pursuit of a better life, which our ancestors were dreaming about. After the African Americans, who were brought to America as slaves in 1619, started a protest against slavery and suppression, it became very important for the Americans to have equal rights for one another. However, that is not all. The immigrates came to the US in hope of a better life. The two words Go west is a known expression when it comes to search of happiness, for the American people. Today it are very important for the Americans to follow their dreams and to have a successful life, which they have built up on their own.

The importance of values appears in many aspects of our society, for instance in the regime. The Americans think it are important to build their own life and to build their own success along the way. If you are poor, you have to climb your own way to the top. Therefore, the Americans do not want the system to govern the important aspects in people`s lives, which are how they are living life, and they do not want the system to rule over life chances the inhabitants may come over too.

History is closely related to values, for instance the value of owning a gun. It is very important for the Americans to have an opportunity to secure themselves and their loved ones. It all started with the right to secure oneself against the Englishmen. Before, the Americans were terrified of the Englishmen and the thought of what they could do to the citizens. Therefore, it became very important to feel safe. To feel safe, the Americans felt an urge to own a gun. Since, the Americans had an opportunity to own their own gun, after a background check of the FBI.

 

I think values are important in life, because values are a big part of people`s lives and the choices they make for it. In another hand, it is decent to have things to believe and follow. Values are all about earlier experiences and wishes in life. I want to assert that values are almost the same as the faith of God. It is important to believe in life, and to have a belief you can direct your own life towards. I think value is a pig part of a person`s life and history, because values say something about who you are and what you stand for. Belief gives hope, in the same way values give hope to live the way you think are the right way of living.

 

To conclude, values are important for the Americans. A lot because of the history and experiences through the past centuries. The values are a decent part of people`s lives and their way of living. Values shape personalities and people`s meanings in the society and generally in life.

Checkpoints along the way

1. I think Sam hopes it could be "anything" going on with Alicia, anything but pregnancy.
2. Alicia says that "Because while the baby`s in there, it`s my body. When it comes out, it`s our baby."

Research and discover, (page 85 in Stunt)

1. Already back in the 900th, people started to immigrate to Norway. The first who came were slaves, craftsmen, merchants and mercenaries. The Traveler and the Roman immigrated to Norway in the 1600th. And in the 1900th a lot of peoples in Europe came to Norway as immigrant workers. After the second world war, people from Turkey, Morocco and later Asia immigrated to Norway as immigrant workers. In 1975, the rules got more strict and Norway shot down their doors for the immigration. Just people with deportation, fugitives and persons who had family connection in Norway had the chance to immigrate to Norway. Now as the conflict in Syria is in progress and with over a million on escape, Norway have to bend their critical limiting. Thousands of Syrian fugitives have approached Norway and Britain, and more are on their way.

 

2. The immigrants that come to Norway is often people from Europe, but also from Asia. A big part of the immigrants in Britain have emigrated from Africa, but also from Asia. Most immigrants live in the south of Britain. The immigrants in Norway live at Greenland in Oslo. Today, Britain contains of more than 45 000 Africans and 25 000 Asians. The Poles (more than 100 000 people), the Lithuanian (more than 40 000 people) and the Swedish (more than 40 000 people) are the peoples who have immigrated the most to Norway. Today both Britain and Norway have to take care of Syrian fugitives.

Writing tasks (NDLA)

1. A day at the golf course

My friends and I went to the golf course in England. It wasn`t any golf course, it was the our at the castle. We drove the golfcar around the halls and made our own golf course. We slided down the halls at the red and soft carpet. The golf course was made out of cups, lego and sticks. We used the vacuum cleaner to gather all the golf bals at the end. Of course something got broken, but at least we had fun.

 

2. Many decisions formerly taken in London are now taken in the parliaments in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. The United Kingdom is less united than ever, but that may also prove to be its strength. This has taken the democracy in The United Kingdom to a new level, and peoples within The UK may feel more like a part of something. Earlier, when the decisions where formerly taken in London, the other peoples just had to consent and follow the rules by London. Now someone in their own community can stand up for the rest and hopefully do a good job. This is also a good thing for The United Kingdom, cause now the other peoples within The UK have gotten more "power", then it`s more unlikely for the countries to gain their independence. The UK will never die and countries as Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast never have to feel less again.

Tasks on NDLA

Pre-reading at the NDLA:

• Typically Irish

• Green, pixie, colver.

• Typically Scottish

• Bagpipe, traditional highland dress,  musk.

• Typically English

• Red bus, Big Ben, red phone box.

• Typically Welsh

• Traditional Welsh Cakes, fortress, dragon.

 

1. Many decisions formerly taken in London are now taken in the parliaments in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. The United Kingdom is less united than ever, but that may also prove to be its strength.

• I think the last sentence means that it`s a strength to let other communities in a country decide as well.

2. Devolution may weaken England`s position in the UK, cause of they had all the power before, but now it`s  distributed all over the UK. That makes England on line with the other communities.
3. I think the Scots and the Welsh will settle for home rules, because first of all they have been within the UK for a long time, and for the second of all they get to decide on the same line as other countries.

Tasks from NDLA

1. I think the British has had an effect on the islanders and their values, because they are all within the UK. Maybe their ancestors brought some of the culture from the inland when they settled. I also think they still get effected every day when they surf and connect through the internet. Maybe isles are far away from each other, but the connection isn`t.

 

2. I would prefer to live in London, because the city never dies. There are people in London all the time, probably because of the many tourist attractions. I want to feel that the day never can be greater than you make it yourself.

 

Today I have learned where the different British isles are located, what their capital cities are named and a little about the ocean and lakes nearby. I have also learned that the British has had an effect on the islanders, and that`s where they got their cultures and values from. The British has as well effected the islanders to be the people they are today. This is because of ancestors and the internet.
