Shark Finning


Shark finning is where people cut off the fins of a shark and make a soup out of it even tho it has no taste / flavor by people doing this it is making marine life die off quicker because charks are the apex predator of the oceans and the top of the food chain so if they die all the other fish below it on the food chain will die off because the sharks are not helping out with the marine life and for the coral reefs and they keep the ocean healthy.


Why is it a delicacy?

-Shark fin soup is considered a delicacy because a Chinese emperor created it which is known as the golden era in chinese history. This dish was created as a sign of wealth, power, and generosity. 

How is this impacting the ocean?

-Sharks help keep the ocean intact, and keep's the fishes from overpopulating.

starfish poem

 Whats is the main message of this poem:

The main message of this poem is that even if you do a little it can still impact and have an impact on the world. The poem is between the two people and it is about one person trying to save starfish but they couldn't save all on them just a few starfish.

This can be proved by these few lines in the poem:


You can't possibly make a difference!" 

The young man listened politely. 

Then bent down, picked up another starfish 

and threw it into the sea, 

past the breaking waves and said- 

"It made a difference for that one."

This proves that although he couldn't save all of them he could still have an impact. So a little might be all you can do but it may still help out.

Resilience

Growth Mindset:

 people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.” ( Dweck, 2015)

Resilience:

even when it's extremely cold in the morning I still get out of my extremely warm bed and want to just stay in my bed until it's warmer.

Christianity Religion

  What is culture: Culture is when you are part of a group or a social section. This can include religion, sports, and where you are from, etc.

Why are we learning about the culture: We are learning about different cultures so present something for the school culture day.

We have learned about many cultures and I learned about my culture more. In the New Zealand culture, we have many things that other places in the world think are different. For example, what we have and do in New Zealand is quite different from what they say to do and learn in the US. 

What I learned about other people's cultures: I learned that many different people have many different cultures. For example, the Filipino culture is present a lot different this is shown by the clothes they wear and the food they eat. Also the practices they do at places like home.

What did I make and how does this connect with my culture I didn't personally do this at the bottom the credit is there.:

This works with my culture because it shows a common Christian sign surrounded by a heart which all work in the Christian culture which is part of my culture and the culture I was grown up in.

What is culture: Definition: the ideas, customs, and social behavior of a particular people or society.
This Means: Your culture is anything or group you identify with eg, where you are born, your beliefs, and your practices, etc. 

Here is someone else's culture: 
This shows their culture by having the culture they identify the most with in the middle and all their background culture on the outside showing how they got where they are today.

Live Aid Queen

Queen sang We Will Rock You and We Are The Champoins at Live Aid because We Will Rock You and we are The Champions were meant to be a pair - an ideal way of whipping up Queen fans into excitement, and the ideal way of kicking off their new album. The song was the opening track on News Of The World, which was hot on the heels by We Are The Champions. He never sang tho songs for any sort of protest they were for the music it's self someone could probably make a similar concert in 2021 people could use the new technology and that would make it a lot easier because everything could be set up extremely quick.


Here's The Videos:

We Are The Champions

Woodstock

Give Peace a Chance - John Lennon - Anti War Song

 Give Peace A Chance: John Lennon


Lyrics: Click Here (Genius.com)


What is the meaning of this song:

This song is about how everyone wants peace and people don't want the fight in the Vietnam war to continue. This song was made because many believe that their country couldn't be fighting in a war that has nothing to do with them, and many thought that the war shouldn't have started to begin with so everyone started to fight for peace in their country.

This line proves this as all they want is peace and are trying to tell people to give peace a chance hence the name give peace a chance: (This line is the chorus)

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance


This song became a staple in anti-war song and this song was big on the movement for countries like America because why should they be fighting in another country civil war. Civil wars are wars between the city and it's kind of pointless because they get nothing out of it anyway.
