Christians United for Israel

For many years now there has been a disagreement involving Israelis and Palestinians about the land of Israel. In the video Christians United for Israel by Bill Moyers shows how the Palestinian President Abbas asked Israelis to leave the Israel territory because the Palestinian wanted East Jerusalem to become the capitol of the Palestinian state. But the Israeli Prime Minister Olmert only wanted peace and an end to terror, as Palestinians only want the land for themselves and won’t give up any part of Palestine land. John Hagee is one of the main leaders of Christians United for Israel, a group the was made to keep Israel the same. This group wants said that during the Holocaust Christians were silent and never spoke there mind or stood up for themselves. This group asks Christians to stand up for Israel and Israel’s rights. They believe, the time is now for all Christians to be heard. On July 17, 2007, 4,500 people from every state in the union and ten countries honored Israel. On this day Hagee asked those people who attended to pray for Jerusalem because in history when there is a war in Jerusalem, then the world was in war as well. But if there was peace in Jerusalem, then there was peace in Jerusalem. Christians United for Israel doesn’t want Israel to part with any land. But another problem the Christians United for Israel are face with is that they do not like the Iranian President Ahmadinejad as they believe that he is there biggest threat. Some Christians United for Israel feels that Ahmadinejad is the next Hitler and feel that the United States need to take action as soon as possible.

For me personally I feel that the United States should at this point stay out of the Israel problems because Israel trust us and we don't need to bombing anyone else at this point. The video we watched opened up a new piont of view about the bible and what it does to a person. I feel everything happens for a reason so why try to push to stop it. If God truly want the Jew to die so then the world can start over then God will find a way to get them there.

Sick Around the World..

In the video “Sick Around the World” was a very interesting video it showed the difference between six very large country and how different there health care systems are. These countries were Britain, Japan, Germany, Taiwan, and Switzerland and all these countries had different health care systems in then the United States and more people even lived longer than average Americans.
In Britain the health care was a NHS health care plan the hospitals were owned by the government and the government got most of the money by their citizen’s income taxes. The citizens never paid for their medical bill but the only down fall was that the waiting list to get in the hospital was very long. Also the citizens sometimes had to go to certain doctors before they could see a specialist. In Japan again people only paid the minimum amount and the governed picked the amount they paid for their bill the wait list was very quite you could call in that day to get an appointment. Japan citizens could pick any doctor they wanted to. Also everyone had to pick a health care plan and even if they lost a job they didn’t lose their health care. If people can’t afford care then Japan pays for it themselves also the hospitals are private hospitals. The down fall is that the hospitals don’t make enough money and then many are going bankrupts. In Germany there health care plans are a lot like Japan Everyone gets health care and they don’t lose the care if they lose their jobs. Hospitals are private and many doctors complain because they don’t make enough money. They pay their health care by how much income they make so the rich pays for the poor. Germany’s waiting list is about the same as an American waiting list. Taiwan took ideas from all the countries that were in the video they picked what they wanted and then made a system out of it. Taiwan has the same problems as Japan not being able to pay for everything so the government takes loans from the banks. Finally in Switzerland their health care was almost the same as American today until they finally realize it was too much for the people to pay. Now they have cut the cost were no one ever goes bankrupt.
Watching this video I began to wonder how come the United States can’t take these steps into making a new and better health care. People everyday can’t afford the medicine so they have to pick between feeding there families or becoming healthy. Once I was done watching this video it upset me know that one day if I don’t have a job then I to could not afford health care and have to make a decision I don’t want to someday.

Tank Man

In the video “Tank Man” I was kind of shocked about how the soldier’s of China could come in and then kill the people that live in that city. They had their orders but those people are a part of the nation the soldier’s represent. But after the fighting was over one man stood out in the crowd he stood up to the army and gained the respected of his nation. Nobody wanted the soldier’s to come into their city and take it over they wanted to be free and run their own lives like everyone else but the government wouldn’t allow it. China was the reason for this man to step out in front of a line of tanks and then demand them to get out of his city. WE don’t here the man stated. After I watched the video I asked myself if I could ever be able to stand in front of someone or something and stand up for right exactly like the tank man did? I believe that one day everyone has their fight and will be able to stand up for what right to them. Then the movie talked about that three day war that took place in the town. This war killed many people and injured even more. As a human being I was just can’t understand how a country could fire on their own nation? Also it shocks me on how it been so many years and they still are not for sure the true identity of the “Tank Man” he is China’s hidden story that many people don’t even know it happened but to those people who do remember that man stands as a wonderful reminder that anyone can stand up for themselves they just have to be willing.

In the video Mind, Maps & Poverty Hans Rosling discusses how the world has taken drastic changes over time. By countries or women having many children or even countries who are health will grow better and faster then countries that are wealthier. An example he provided was when countries that living lobger have smaller families and countries that don’t live as long have larger families. He provides a graphs or data that proves his theories these graphs show how the countries change over time and then also break them down and shows the rate of their growth. Also he provides us with information that shows us that children’s survival rate is higher in countries that have money. Rosling also shows how incomes in all counties have become spread out then in the past. The compared china with the USA and showed how our income over whelmed china’s but as time passed china has almost became dead even with the USA . The graph shows that in the past, there was somewhat of a division between people in poverty, the average income, and the wealthy. He believes that countries that don't have money are going to have more problems than countries that have money but what the countries do with that money also makes a difference. He explained this by showing how different parts of Africa need way more help than other countries in Africa. This video shows the pure truth about the growth around the world. We need to help countries that have nothing then by helping Africa as a whole, because how can helping the rich people in Africa going to really make a difference. When we help those who really need our help that when we are going to make a difference.
