Playlist hamlet song 1: Rafael Ramirez and Maria Alejandra Perez

Fix you

 A Coldplay song that was written by all the members of the band for Chris Martin ex girlfriend called, Gwyneth Paltrow when his father died. This can relate to hamlet because when ophelia father (polonius) died she felt very afflicted and was really sad. It got to the point that she was strapped to a restrain shirt and was thought to be insane. Both stories relates in the way that both girls felt the gap of a missing a father. 

The song Fix You says, "When you try your best, but you do not succeed. When you get what you want, but not what you need." This relates with Hamlet because he got what he wanted killing "his uncle" but he did not obtain what he needed because instead he killed Ophelia´s father. 

the song also says "When you lose something you can't replace, When you love someone, but it goes to waste" This also relates to ophelia because she lost her father and that can not be replaced, she also loved hamlet but due to his thirst for revenge he became obsessed with killing his uncle and all the love ophelia had went to waste. This is why we picked this song as part of our playlist and related it to hamlet.

Anger sonnet

Anger is usually a low damper
Its a long scream from a long frustration
And it feels like a brief, fierce mutation
It is a low tramper in your weak head

And fighting rage is a loud struggle
Yet most people just ignore the guggle
The tramper fades and you feel a scamper
Everything you love is now forever gone

Now just accept a new life just began
But you just sit there reminiscing
And everything feels dizzy and fizzy
You were busy and your life was breezy

And yet it wasnt your fault, or was it?
It changed you and you can never go back.

Russia is out of the G8

The G8 is an international organization formed by the eight wealthiest countris around the globe. This elite group is in charge of analyzing and trying to solv global crises on a lower scale than the UN.  Russia was recently expelled from the G8 due to the crimean crisis, to me this builds more tension between Russia and the US. Russias actions are not being approved and they are being expelled or threatened to be expelled by several international organizations, but is this really a good thing?

The G8 is the first international organization to officially expell russia from activity but if this continues more organizations will follow. Russia just legally nationalized 250,000 people from crimea and already declared crimea as theirs. If the organizations keep kicking them out instead of finding a peaceful way Russia wouldnt have to respond to anyone and could cause a war between a lot of countries. Russias actions are far from good but instead of kicking them out organizations shoul try to go with a more diplomatic way and solve this peacufully.

Economic hitman impact

The economic hitman that work for the united states have had a huge impact in our world and in how power is distributed. John Perkins explained how since about 1950s the USA governent started to hire economist to go to developing countries and convince their leaders to invest in american industry and helping their own country to become industrialized. This lead to mass debt from the countries and this secured they would be forever in both moral debt and economic debt to the united states. Perkins said this plan was funded by the government but if plan A did not work they would launch a 3 step plan that would almost always lead to success.

The second plan was only launched if the governor of the country would not invest in america or in industrializing the country. The plan was to send CIA hired assassins to kill the governor and if that did not work military action would be taken to overthrow the ruler. The american nation managed to build an empire without terrenal borders just imaginary .This was the way the plan worked and how the US got so much power and became a modern day empire.

post 2, what are the power privileges

This privileges are the ones we earn even unconsciously in the society we live in today. The best example is in race where white people get the most advantage in most fields, the best example is in job searching where even if two possible employees have the same quality one could get the job just for his "race". This happens because throughout the years white people have violently imposed on many cultures and have created a fake image of superiority. This left an impact that can even be felt today in small things like job searching. We can conclude the fake superiority image white people has had a massive impact on the entire world and is still felt today.

The "race" advantages have been decreasing over the years but even if they are minimised they can still be felt. Even though the perspective on other "races" like black have changed they still go from one extreme to another, in the movie the power of an illusion we see how people think black people are better athletes just for stereotypes and how it is believed white people are smarter and more likely to succeed. This shows that society went from one extreme to another from underestimating to overestimating different kind of "races". We learn that even things that happened many years ago still have an impact on todays society.

Prompt 1, what is race ?

race is defined as a group of people who share the same language, history,characteristics but can race really be defined or is it just a made up human concept to separate us from each other. In the film the power of an illusion we see that the differences from human DNA are 85 percent within the same "race" and not within the other "races". This means that we are barely different from other people and  that the "races" we claim exist are just classifications of people by biological features like skin color, hair color, head shape, etc. This shows us that race does not exist and can't be classified, this proves race was just and invention to have social benefits and live better than others. we can conclude that race is a thing made up by man and it can't be classified other than by biological features.

So why did man create this race system to separate each other ? for power and money off course because there is no other clear reason. In the movie the power of an illusion we see how because blacks were used as slaves they got ill and were weak and the became an abused group of people, white people classified them as black and forever saw them as inferior in most aspects of life. White people took advantage of this and using law in their favor made black people suffer for countless years even until the day of today the impact is felt. This again proves race is just an invention for power and money. We can conclude that Race is unconventional and any use of this old system should be deleted it would also help if we stopped calling race things that are not race so we could spread equality and a fair world.

Hamlet post 2: impact on my life to be or not to be

To be, or not to be: that is the question .This line has an impact in life because it is the doubt that most people have when deciding important things. To be or not to be is a phrase that represents all the fear we are able to feel in life. The line means to be able to do something or to restrain yourself from doing it. This line goes far beyond everything and can be used for any doubt you have in lyour life and lets you see hat it is better to do things you are afraid of than to restrain yourself from doing them because of some kind of fear.

Alternate conflict: conflict in central african republic

This conflict is a very interesting one that most people dont even know exists so i liked to address it and show another conflict that is causiong more than 1000 deaths per year. This conflict started recently so i thought it would be easier to follow and easier to understand. I would also like to talk about why the African continent is constantly absorbed by conflicts and extreme violence, is it natural, european occupations,late indepedence, i would love to discuss it in class and get opinions on the subjet. 

The central african republic conflict began in december 10 2012, The fight is  between the Government and Séléka, a rebel group. The rebels accused the government of  François Bozizé of not following by peace agreements signed in 2007 and 2011. Rebel forces known as Séléka captured many major towns in the country in the end of 2012. Chad, Gabon, Cameroon, Angola, South Africa and Republic of Congo sent troops as help to the government to hold back a potential rebel advance on the capital, Bangui. However the capital was taken by the rebels on 24 March 2013 at which time François Bozizé fled the country and the rebel leader Michel Djotodia declared himself president.

Lemon tree analysis and toughts

I really liked the lemon tree movie because it showed many aspects that we ignore from the palestinians-israeli conflict. One part i really liked was when in the movie the media shows fake interests for zalma and her trees but after the trial happens the same attention vanishes and leave salma all alone. The movie also allowed us to see the reality of palestine that is a sexist muslim "country" and how israel is the total opposite and is a westernized city with very open minds.

In this film we see how small "victories" like salma "winning" over israeli prime minister and his security service matter for an entire population. The victory was not a real victory for zalma but it was a symbolic victory for the entire palestinian population that were taught that with patience and rightfullnes you could succed over the abusive israeli state. The movie was very god and like I said before it showed us the reality of both parts in the conflict and the different situations each part has to live.

Sonnet analysis: to be or not to be

To be, or not to be: that is the question 

This quote is said by hamlet when he is considering to commit suicide or not. Hamlet thinks of committing suicide because he is living in a world that only brings him pain. The phrase "to be, or not to be: that is the question" is an internal struggle from hamlet who is deciding to kill himself or to continue to live in the horrible world he lives in. Hamlet argues if he must do the "noble" thing and just suffer in silence or just follow his desire to end suffering and kill himself. What makes hamlet stop and think about the desition is what happens in the afterlife and what might happen to him after he enters the afterlife.

post 2 article of my choice: Russian intervention on ukraine

This article is about how Russia deployed troops to Ukraine after the opposition kicked out the president. This may be considered a violent or menacing car from russia who previously owned the land that today is ukraine. This was a global issue and it already reached the usa and president obama wants to take the troops out. Tis can lead to a bigger conflict than a civil war and can become a sequel to the cold war.

tHIS    This conflict can escalate to a major issue and even a war. This two big countries that are intervening in ukraine have a history of fighting for power and fighting to be the biggest powerhouse it the entire world.The article shows us various reason why the deployment of russian military forces in ukraine is a bad thing and need to be retired as soon as possible. If the russians decide not to pull out  this can become a major issue and lead to many other conflicts that can grow to become a war of the magnitude of world war II. The wisest thing to do is retire the troops and avoid any unnecessary conflict.

sharing a link

This web page shows a lot of information regular people don't know or are not aware of and I found the title very interesting http://www.ifamericansknew.org/history/. The title is very curious because it shows a reality, most americans are not informed of what their government is doing and what intentions they have when they support or attack a foreign country. This source seems very reliable and it shows a variety of articles that can help anyone understand the israeli/palestinian conflict through the past and in the present day.  I look forward to using this source that I think is very reliable and it can help us in class.
