 Geography Question to Consider By: Mike Christopher
 * //Is it right for Cubans to sneak into Miami from Cuba//**.

It is right for Cubans to sneak into Miami from Cuba. Some Cubans want to get away and attempt to make a living for their family. Some Cubans also want to get away from the communist government of Cuba. Not all Cubans are bad and some of them have no choice but to try to get into the United States. They should have a choice. It is not right for Cubans to sneak into Cuba. The United States dosent want any more illegal immigrants and the Cubans have no right to sneak in. If they want in they should get a visa and try to pass the citizen test and get in the right way. Cubans need to try to get in not just sneak in.  In Cuba geography seriously influences the people. To get away from the government people decide to leave Cuba. They go to the United States. They go to Miami, Florida because they are close and it is easy to get to on a boat. They travel the 200 miles by boat and sneak into Miami. Since there is not alot of water between the two places they take advantage of geography and use it to get a better life.
 * //How does geography influence human actions?//**

People trade and migrate to make money and a better life for their families. Trade brings in tons of money and will be a good way to feed a family. People migrate so they can go to new places, make more money, and to build a better life. that is why people trade and migrate.
 * //Why do people trade and migrate?//**

I believe that the people shape their culture. When people from different countries move to another country with them comes their culture and way of life. Depending on how many people come from that country shapes the way that live and how they do it. They reshape the way that the natives live.
 * //Do humans shape their environment or did the environment shape the culture?//**

 * //Is it right that churches in Cuba have to register with the government to make sure they meet certain rules of association?//**

It is right because the government wants to make sure the churches are providing the right information. They don't want the wrong teachings in their country. They want to be positive that the churches aren't giving the followers bad tips or topics.

It is wrong because the churches should be able to teach what they believe in. They are just teaching religion and want to provide the best form of knowledge for their followers. The government should be able to trust their citizens that they aren't trying to hurt the country .

**__Colonialism Question to Consider__** By: Rebecca DiValerio

//**Is it right for other countries into Haiti and rebuild their country?**// Yes, it is right for other countries to fly into Haiti and rebuild their country for them. It is right because Haiti needs better technology, and the other countries would be able to help them rebuild their building to become more earthquake proof. Also it is good for other countries to help Haiti rebuild because there are times when natural disasters happen, where countries are destroyed, and other countries from all around the world should help pitch in to help the country regain what they had lost in the disaster. It is always better to give then to receive.

It is not right for other countries to fly into Haiti and help rebuild their country. It is not right because some countries would want to change Haiti to become more like their countries and disregard all of the indigenous people who live in Haiti and disrupt their culture. Also, some countries would sadly try and gain ultimate power and control that nation because they helped rebuild it. Thirdly, the people coming over to help Haiti rebuild may carry diseases or germs that the people in Haiti are not immune to, so many of their people could become sick. Fourthly, some countries would keep tab on how much money they put into helping rebuild Haiti, and make them in debt after they are up and running again. Lastly, the westernized people helping Cuba out may influence and change Haiti’s rich, indigenous culture so the original culture could be lost. Sometimes, it is better for countries to hold back and not help other countries rebuild from a natural disaster.

Conflict/Change/Independence Question to Consider By: Mike Christopher

//**What causes conflict?**//

Conflict is caused by differences in culture and religion. This brings disagreements because people want to believe what and only what they believe in. People get angry if you don't believe in this. Also with colonialism it ruins culture and if one country takes control of another country there is the possibility that they will attempt to force their way of life on the natives of the country.

I believe that power corrupts. When you look at Cuba, Batista had control when he was elected then lost it when he wasn't reelected. He got so angry that he forcefully took control of the country. Then Castro forcefully took control away from Batista and turned Cuba into a Communist government which isn't good for the country.
 * //Does Power Corrupt?//**

I believe that no country is independent everybody needs help. They can't relie on yourself for growing food becuase there probably won't be enough to go around. If your about to enter a war you need allies because you can't go in alone. You also need to import and export to bring money into the country so you have a strong government.
 * //Are Independence and Dependence Inseperable?//**

__Interdependence Question to Consider__ By: Rebecca DiValerio  //** Is it good that Cuba limited their interdependence on other countries? **//

It is good that Cuba limited the interdependence on other countries. It is good that they did that because when a natural disaster happens in a country that they are not associated with, they do not have to worry about aiding that country, they can fix more problems in their country. Also, they do not need to worry about paying back countries for goods, materials, and technologies; they only have to worry about themselves. Lastly, it is good that Cuba limited their interdependence so if one country breaks their promise with Cuba, they are not heavily effected. That is why it is good that Cuba limited their interdependence on other countries.

It is not good that Cuba is not very interdependent with other countries. It is not very good because when Cuba needs help, other countries would not pitch in to help them out in their time of need. Also, Cuba can not express their ideas to other countries freely to create and express about topics and invention options. Thirdly, Cuba does not trade with that many countries so they do not experience as much food, technologies, and inventions as we do on a daily basis. Another reason is that Cuba has a great amount of poverty because they only have what they can grow and create on their island. Lastly, many countries look at Cuba as selfless because the do not share their exports with many countries. That is why it is bad that Cuba is not that interdependent with other countries.
