Summary of N.H.D....

I am working in a group of four people. We are picking Charles Dickens because he was trying to approve people's social life and his books brought out to the public eye the horrific conditions of the time. He also, changed the way people looked at liteature. my group is planing on doing a play about his life and we are going to put in a piece of one of his plays. If charles Dickens didn't exist then people wouldn't look at liteature the way they do today.

The next president...

 

 

            Barrack Obama should be the next president because, he is planning on changing

 

the nation. The things that he is planning on changing are the energy source, oil

 

Problems, education, health care, wage taxes, and the economy.

 

           

            Barrack is going to try his hardest to make changes to the energy sources.  He

 

stated  “I reject drilling into the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge because it would

 

irreversibly damage a protected national wildlife”.  He agrees with the president on 

 

taking the oil from a Strategic Petroleum Reserve, to help rebuild the amount of lost oil

 

since Hurricane Katrina.  Obama wants to use this oil for emergences only, he thinks we

 

shouldn’t  be tapping the reserve to provide a small, short-term decrease in gas prices. “In

 

order to provide Americans relief from the oil prices going up, we must get serious about

 

decreasing America's dangerous dependence on foreign oil by increasing fuel efficiency

 

and investing more in the renewable fuels that can lead us down the path to energy

 

independence.”

 

 

            Obama thinks the No Child left behind is taking more money away from the

 

untied states then educating the children. The schools in the U.S. have failed to provide

 

high-quality teachers in every classroom, they have also  failed to adequately support and

 

pay the teachers that are there now.  He wants to make college more affordable for all

 

families.  Almost 430,000 will be able to afford a good college education, by increasing

 

Pell Grant awards.  He adds on that, “ We need to invest in our public schools and

 

strengthen them, not drain their fiscal support.  And for this reason I do not support

 

vouchers. In the end, vouchers would reduce the options available to children in need.  I

 

fear these children would truly be left behind in a private market system."   Barrack

 

thinks that sex education should be taught in school to scare children off of that topic for

 

longer periods of time, but only young adults would learn about this.  He says that

 

everyone should respect the importance of good medical care for women.  He will like to

 

also build new schools and fix up most of the old ones. We need new buildings and

 

supplies for kids to learn

 

 

            A lot of people in this country do not have health care.  “I also believe that every

 

American has the right to afford health care.” States Barrack. “ I believe that  millions of 

 

Americans who can’t take their children to a doctor when they get sick have that right to”

 

said Obama.  He is going lower the cost of the health insurance, and the families that

 

don’t have health insurance have an oppertunity to have it.  As soon as he can pass a law

 

to make the insurance companies lower price of the insurance or provide free insurance

 

then everyone will have health insurance.  Obama believe’s that fast food places are not

 

missing up people’s health because, guidelines for advertising and marketing of foods

 

and beverages must be finalized, and the industry should be encouraged to implement

 

these guidelines on a voluntary basis.

 

           

            John McCain is going to try and change the country to.  He will try and change

 

the health care, education, economy, the energy sources, and the oil problem.

 

 

           

           

 

 

            John McCain, will reform Health Care, making it easier for all families to get

 

health insurance.  An important part in his plan is to use competition to improve the

 

quality of the health insurance.  He is offering every family $5,000

 

 to offset the cost of insurance.  Families can choose the insurance provider that is best

 

for  them  and the money would be sent directly to the insurance provider.  He wants to

 

give out this insurance funding  until the person passes away.  He wants the people in this

 

country to be able to have health care, everyone of them.  McCain will expand the

 

benefits of health savings accounts. McCain states “When families are informed about

 

medical choices, they are more capable of making their own decisions and often decide

 

against unnecessary options. Health Savings Accounts take an important step in the

 

direction of putting families in charge of what they pay for.”

 

             “American education must be worthy of the promise we make to our children and

 

ourselves.”  He understands that we are a nation committed to equal opportunity, and

 

there is no equal opportunity without equal access to excellent education” said the

 

candidate, John McCain. McCain says “The public education should be defined as one in

 

which our public support for a child's education follows that child into the school the

 

parent chooses.”  He believes that the children’s education depends on how the parents

 

teach their children to learn. John McCain will fight for everyone to have access to go to

 

school. He believes in the “No Child Left Behind” concept.  At this age everyone should

 

just go on with school even if your standard is low, he states that” we can not accept

 

higher standard students and not lower standard students.”  John McCain believes our

 

schools can and should compete. The schools should hire  Character-building teachers,

 

and reward them for taking the job. “If the schools do not change the students should

change the school because the parents should be empowered with the school choice on

 

 

 

what school to send their children.” that is one thing that he believes. John McCain will

 

place parents and children at the center of the education process, also, letting the parents

 

be in charge on choosing the school their child goes to. He thinks that if the parent pushes

 

their child to pass their classes then the parents should get money if they do not pass and

 

fail their class nothing will be done or giving.           

 

            “Our nation's future security and prosperity depends on the next President making

 

the hard choices that will break our nation's strategic dependence on foreign sources of

 

energy and will ensure our economic prosperity by meeting tomorrow's demands for a

 

clean portfolio.”  John McCain has made the necessary choices of  producing more

 

power, by pushing the technology to help our nation get out of the foreign oil.

 

He wants to stop receiving oil from foreign countries.  John McCain believes it is time

 

for the federal government to lift these restrictions and to put our own reserves to use.

 

He will like to propose  $300 Million Prize To Improve Battery Technology For Full

 

Commercial Development Of Plug-In Hybrid And Fully Electric Automobiles.

 

           

            These are the two canidates running for president. The one I think that should

 

really become president is Obama.  Obama wanted to fix more of everything better then

 

McCain, besides the education.  The education was the biggest part for John McCain,

 

Obama didn’t support the education as much as McCain did, but we can’t just have an

 

education will out this world. Obama is thinking more about the world then McCain.
