The powerful Unites States & Genocide.

In other countries the US is viewed s practically the "big cheese". When people in smaller, less fortunate countries hear the name of our country they practically melt. They're eyes start to shine and hope suddenly becomes the main word in their minds. There is big general stereotype that we are powerful and that we can do anything. But is that necessarily true? Well i believe not. Should we get involved in other countries affairs? Now that's a very controversial topic. When it comes to genocide we don't think that it is still going on today. But believe it or not it is. Now should we get involved in interventions in these countries? i think it depends. If it isn't something too big then i think not. Those countries should figure out a way to try and solve those problems someway somehow. In such cases the US should worry about US citizens in those countries and try to get them home and safe  as soon as possible. Now if the matter comes into bigger problems then yes. The US and countries like it do have the power to intervene and try to do something about it. While this topic will always remain very controversial i think it is something very delicate and should be dealt with it in a very careful manner.

Americas Most Wanted.

The projects we have done on the many gangsters and criminals of the 1900's were quite interesting. It was really cool to see all the different presentations from all of the groups. I learned that all these malacious people were connected to one another in many ways. I also learned that they had normal lifes apart from their crime life. They had wifes and kids and all of the above. But obviously it wasnt a good environment. But at the end i think they all got wht they deserved :) It was interesting to learn about them and well you learn new things everyday and i sure did !

INVESTIGATIONS LITE. co

Case number : 1597821
Subjects : Sacco & Vanzetti
Case date entry : May 31, 1921
Date of entry into the Unites States : Sacco, April 1908; Vanzetti, June, 1908.
Background info : Both subjects were born in Italy. Bartolomeo Vanzetti on June 11, 1988 in Villafalletto northern Italy. And Nicola Sacco was born in Torremaggiore  southern Italy on April 22, 1891. They met on may of 1917 in Boston at a meeting of Galleanist Anarchists.
Crime life: These two subjects have lots of power around their town. they are megaminds who know exactly waht and how to do so that they dont get caught or linked to in any way. They have maps for ach of their despcable crimes. These maps later on served the police to show evidence of said crimes. In the maps they would mark where witnesses were and what they saw.
Important info:thse two subjects are very dangerous and they had many things up their sleeves. they harmed mnay lifes and destroyed many places. having them around was having danger around practically. These subjects had very dangerous weapons in their posession. Most of them they did not have liscences for. They had many contacts and could practically get anything they wanted. They had many good contacts amongst their friends and they could practically get anything they wanted wheather it was legal or illegal.
Trial: their trial has now been going on for quite sometime. They have a really good lawyer for whom they have oaid a fortune to. But i believe that not even this subject will be able to get them out of jail or such a case. They attempt to get out by writting many letters and petitions to the judge and the people on the jury. Amongst these documents there was a  seek of clemency. They had more people on the prosecution witnesses than on the defense witness side. Many people wanted them to be sentenced for a very long time because of all of the things they did. On July 10, 1927 they were sntnced to serve their alleged time.
Resolution: i say that these two subjects got what they deserved. Their life of crime and wrong doing had to be stopped ooner than later. Many innocent people were killed for no reason. Now all that the families of such people have left is the sadness of knowing that their family members are long gone and that they died not because they deserved it but because these two malacious people did what they did to them. There is no higher orice frot ehm to pay  than to be left in the sells in prision with nothing to do.

disclaimer: all said in this case study is reserved to the opinions of investigations lite. all these ideas are what the ompany thinks and should not interfere with the final ruling made by the judge in this case. Everyone is reserved to their own ideas and what they think.

Picture : Sacco and Venzetti in their higher times. very young men.

Prezi.

Here is the link to my prezi about the dust bowl & all its memories.

http://prezi.com/mbyqsh-et6gz/the-dust-bowl/

Acrostic!

Police force had to be reinforced
Reinforce all laws for the good of the towns
On the 18th amendment
Had to take alcohol and ban it
In all of the United States
Brithish merchants weren't happy at all
Important law for all
To be able to keep the order
In the towns
Organization would lead to no rebellions
Never worked to the fullest


Remembered as an unforgettable period of time        
Old Americans                                                         
And New Americans                                                
Reinforced 2 different classes                                  
In 2 different neighborhoods                                      
Never agreed on anything                               
Gams were not allowed to be so exposed                 

Thinking one was better than the other
Wishing they were actually better
Everyone loved to go to parties
Never stopped drinking giggle water
The people were all into it
It made everyone happy
Ended up in the changing of societies ways               
Spiffy was the way to look
