17. Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.
One important international issue that concerns me is war. I am a individual that is in favor of peace. We (by "we" I mean the world) are ruining many souls that do not deserve to die because we continue on with these wars that we face each other. We fight for something we can all share, unfortunately, people prefer to keep things to themselves. Mankind is destroying itself because society decides to not share the things we need to survive emotionally and physically. If we were to share these things, we could of saved millions of lives, lives that could of helped with curing a disease that is currently immune to vaccinations.

Journal Prompt #18
18. If you could choose two things to change about our high school campus, what would they be and why?
Some things that I would change in our high school campus would be a change in the school colors. Instead of Red, white, and black, I would chose the colors blue, green and orange, because these are my favorite colors. Also, I would replace the tables with ones made of marble, instead of stone, because it is smoother than stone.

19. Should school attendance be mandatory? In your answer, be sure to explore what the function of education is, and what our nation would look like if the masses were less educated.
School attendance should be mandatory in order to provide a proper education to the students. If the attendance policy was not mandatory, possibly many student would choose to become absent in school because of laziness, ditching, and other reasons unknown. The function of our education is to use what we learned in careers we chose to follow and pursue. For instance, if we pursue to become a chemist, we need to learn about chemistry, which is provided in school worldwide. If our masses in our nation to be less educated, then there would be lesser amount of job opportunities,and it would seem that college would not be worth the money to spend.

Journal Prompt #20
#20 If you had the ability to talk to one species of animal, which animal would you choose to communicate with? Why?
The animal I would choose to have the ability to communicate to would be birds, because since birds are one of the most common animals to be seen around the world, it would be very beneficial to communicate with them. It is beneficial, because we heard all sorts of birds chirping and crying all over the world; however, we cannot understand what they are saying. Also, different breeds of birds make different noises, so with out this ability to communicate, it would be extremely difficult to understand them. Fortunately, we have studied certain noises that birds make, such as mating calls; this is one of our first steps that mankind has made onto developing a communication with a whole different being, through understanding.
