Cuban Revolution: part 2

The new communist government by Castro created a more peaceful situation, more equality, and the changes in education. As you can imagine, the time when Cuba is in Batista's hand, the country is often treated brutally. The Batista did all those actions in order to keep Cuba's cities under the government control. However, after the Batista regime is down and Castro's communist is up, the brutal actions are mostly gone away. The dictatorship is gone too, and equality is granted to everyone. There's a huge changes after the fall of the Batista regime as well. Since private school were banned, the state assumed greater responsibility for children.
Judging from my point of view, the Castro's new communist government

seems to be better than the Batista's government. Their differences are the freedom, how the government do with its people, and how . The  new government has a better attitude than the Batista due to its communist system. The country ruled by a corrupted government by Batista before. The Batista often use brutal methods to keep Cuba's cities under government control. Citizens' freedom are better due to no more corruption, and a better leader.

Cuban Revolution: The Analysis Document
Cuban Revolution is a revolution happened during 1953-1959. From my point of view, it's a revolution between a man name Fulgencio Batista which is the president and also the military leader of Cuba, and a man name Fidel Castro who was in the group call the "26th of July movement". The whole revolution starts at 26 July 1953 and ends at 1 January 1959. The new government that was created by Fidel Castro begins with a guerilla attack, continued with the 26th of July movement group and ends with the victory in 1 January 1959. The first guerrilla warfare launched in 26 July 1953 on the Moncada Barracks, an army facility in Santiago de Cube. The attack was a failure and Fidel got imprisoned for 15 years. During the 15 years, people start to protest about Fidel's imprisonment. People actually hated Batista since the beginning, and they are on Castro's side. After Fidel Castro was released from the prison, the group name the 26th of July movement established according to the date of the failed attack. The group is the main support on guerrilla attacks and ways to complete their goals. For an example, the Battle of Santa Clara on 31 December 1958 is the last battle the group defeated Batista together. The victory of the 26th of July movement is the huge of the last step to accomplish Castro's goals. Batista was finally lose to Castro on 1 January 1959, and replaced by Castro's government. This government later becoming the Communist Party of Cuba in October 1965.

MWS - Infographic project

Infographics are really handful tools in teaching people due to its colorfulness and creative ideas within it, and I use it in a project in grade 9 alongs with other 10th graders. Our teacher shows us how the infographics look like, and how he wants ours to be. The project was given around a month ago before this blog is created. After all those infographics we have watched, we started off with deciding the works for each of our group members are supposed to do. There are four members in the group. Three of them takes the research roles while I take the creating and editing infographic role. Our topic was about Energy, and we got around 21 to 30 days to finish it. We mainly focus on our topic, its history, types of energy, or even energy in the future. Although we didn’t plan well at first, but we are able to produce a work with total of our effort at the end. We take around 3 weeks in researching for information and we seem to be glad about it. Some information are wrong, some are not. While we were working, we had a little quarrel as well but it keep us to be together and understand each other more. After that quarrel, the works seem to be getting fine and the researches are all done. We leave the most important job to one person in our group, creating an infographic but that doesn’t mean we didn’t help her at all. In the end, I help generate the ideas of the infographic and the whole thing was completely cramped up in the last day. My works are research and editing the infographic the night before the due date. It sounds a little funny, but we still doing it 15 minutes before the deadline(but our work is pretty good though)
What we need to create in an infographic. Infographics are the tools created by using software or online programs in order to create simple or creative shapes of arts in order to let the readers easily understand them. They are mainly created by programs and most of them takes a long period of time to create them. It being created by technology nowadays. Eventually, our infographic still has some mistakes in it. If we compare ours to the other, the shapes are not simple enough and the words are still too long. However, it has a timeline which makes it easier to understand it, and the organizations are pretty well-done too.
Infographics are now really popular among the internet world. Some of you might have guessed it already, and because its simpleness and creativity lead them to become this popular. Not only they are easy to understand, but some of them are fun to read as well. I’d recommend you who are reading this to try and create one of them. It’d be nice, and here's my infographic. We use Picktochart to create an infographic, and it'd be great if you use it too. Here's the link http://piktochart.com/

The Shinto brother and sister

When I was a child, I used to live in Japan with my older sister. We used to be playing around and have fun like normal brother and sister do, until we got a company to move to America because of the nuclear bomb. Now I'm moving back to Japan once again to meet my sister who I've not met so long. Her name is Mamori, Mamori Shiranai. Her name came from a charm in her beliefs. She said it's worn for aid in healing and protection or for some other purposes too. I had been living in America for so long and now my sister will guide me through Japan and their beliefs also. My name is Shinto, like Shintoism the Japanese beliefs of living gods. My sister teaches me that Shintoism is about how we believe that gods are everywhere around us. Even in the trees, animals, or even in our words. The belief are also about to be clean as well. Although I'm not quite interest in this stuffs, but she tries her best to guide and introduce me to the beliefs, so I will endure it for a while (I think Christianity is better). She said we have to enter the Shrine through the Tori Gate first (which is the religious symbol). The Shrine is an important place of this religion, so the maidens have to clean it up (includes as a practice; others are offerings, praying, and dancing). She said they mustn’t be sluggish in their works so she sweeps the shrine everyday she's free. She said she doesn't want to bring blame to the teachings so she asked me not to spread Christianity too much (I was a little confuse about it). Sadly it has no historical founder like Christianity and it also has too many rules like we cannot become angry although the others are angry, or do not forget your obligations to your ancestor. She said we're the Kami's child, but I started to get bored so I asked her to guide me around the cities instead. She seemed a bit depressed though. After I've finished all the tours and the time I've spent with my sister, I've to go back to America again. Before I go, my sister dragged me nearby her mouth. She whispered into my tiny ears "we're the Japanese. Do not.. carried away ... ..reign teachings" I couldn't hear it clearly, but I will remember it for the rest of my life.

Historical changes in population (demographic shifts)

In the old time back then, the world population is growing normally as it should be. Then the population began to become unstable or be naturally growing as it supposes to be. The reasons might be that some people might die from disease, and some might die from accidents. Also that includes “terrorism” and “thieves” also.

The oldest terrorism would be assassinations which happen in around before 13^th century. The terrorism in this era doesn’t count as a huge murders and troubles for many people. However, in the 1793, the original of the modern world terrorism began here. Whoever study in Middle School or High School should all know the “French Revolution”. In French Revolution, there is a guy name “Maximilien Robespierre” who executed many people in that era. He used a machine call “the guillotine” executed many people who were against him. For more information about Maximillien Robespierre, you can go to the link I recommended right HERE.

The terrorisms have changed the population in the past and still existing until the early time in 21th century. Obviously that the terrorisms killed many people and many times people lost their money and their properties. Imagine that they have almost nothing after the disaster, what would happen to them? Will they migrate to another country? Find a better job? What will they do for their relatives that die from the terrorism attack? The 9/11 event can clearly show us on how the population, economy and the resources has dropped from one suicide-attack from Osama bin Laden.

Future Migration

Future Migration

Migrations mean the movement from place to place. It basically means moving from one place to another. The word migration mostly use in move to another country, or another region, or even inside your country. It began since the world separated into many regions call “continents” and “countries” up until now. There are many people who try to predict what or how the migration in the future will occur based on the existing data that we have.

If people have no jobs? :

From what I’ve got from my research on the economy, America is the largest and the most technologically powerful economy in the world. Although I didn’t research, I believe that most of us will already know. The country itself creates even new and better products. From the others’ point of views on America, it’d be the best country to go if you can’t find a job, money, trusted friendship, and many other good things. Many people really believe that it’s the best country in the world. Even now, many foreigners migrate to America to find jobs. I believe that even in the future, more and more people will migrate to America. They will be fine, and able to find jobs there.

If Thailand’s flood situation hasn’t gone done yet? :

Now I’d like to talk about Thailand’s future migration. In the year 2011 or currently right now, Thailand faced a flood crisis problem which caused a lot of problems to many citizens and dramatically to economy and government. Government gave citizens the wrong information on the time that flood will be coming to 4-5 times or even more than that. That makes the reason for why many citizen started to not believe in their information, but the information that they’ve gained by seeing the real situation themselves. Many schools are closed due to currently flood situation. Indeed no one can travel easily around in this kind of situation. Even my school has to close. Many foreigners have migrated, or in the other words go back to their home countries. The situation is not easy to change back and too hard to pay for the destruction of citizen’s property itself. Many Thais went to another countries and wait for the situation to cool down. I’m also live in Thailand, and I hope it will really get better soon.

What about other countries? Like Ireland with problems and China with overpopulation?

Many migrations and trades will keep happening in the future. Ireland currently has many people migrated to another countries due to the problems that they couldn’t find a jobs nor good food in their countries. China is currently trying to fix the overpopulation problems. Many people already migrated due to the type of government or communism because they want to be richer, or gain more money, or find themselves better jobs. However, in the end I’m still believe that in the nearby future, or even the far away future, America will have more and more population because of the reasons I did mention in the 1^st paragraph.

20th century mass migration from global south to global north

20th century mass migration from global south to global north
In the long time ago, there was a huge migration from Southern America to Northern or Eastern America called “The Great Migration”. The Great Migration was the movement or migration of more than 6 million people to North America. Most importantly all 6 million people are not an ordinary people, their skins are black. Yes, they are the 6 million blacks who moved to the global north.

The whole migrations causes from just one person, Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. He proclaimed an executive order which is called “Emancipation Proclamation” in 1863. It proclaimed a freedom of almost 3.1 million out of the total slaves number four million, and immediately free fifty-thousand slaves after the proclamation. When it was signed in the 1863, less than eight percent of the blacks were living in the north part of America or USA. Then thirty-seven years later in 190s0, the situations haven’t changed much yet. There are still more than ninety percent living in the Southern part of United States of America.
Between 1910s to 1930s, the African American population grew by 40% in the Northern America. More importantly those changes of population were highly happened in the major cities such as Chicago, Detroit, New York city and Cleveland. Those cities had some biggest increases in the early 20th century. Now those blacks who were free from slaves system, they gained rights to have a jobs, gain their lands, and able to migrate to Northern America. They were once live in the urban before, and now they were able to move into the cities, in the Northern America. There is also an estimation that more than 400,000 women migrated to the Northern America since 1916 to 1918. They took this chance to take an advantage of a labor shortage in the wage of World War I. However, this event leads to major changes of population in Northern and Southern America’s population.
In 1910s, the African-American population in Detroit was only 6,000. Then the Great migration and other migration from Eastern and Southern Europe began. These events changed the city’s population dramatically, and it became Northern America’s fourth largest in population. After that around 20 years, African-American population increased to 120,000.
In 1900, Chicago has a total population of 1,698,575. Then twenty years passed, in 1920 Chicago’s total population had increased by 1 million. From the free of slaves in 1863, it can change so much in the populations. After the second wave of the Great Migration in 1940 to 1950, the African-American numbers has increased again from 278,000 to 813,000. That make a huge different from before, and those population live in the cities.
The Great Migration also helps out in educated blacks people. When they are educated, they will be able to find jobs and money, or even have a family. Between 1910 and 1920, numbers of employed blacks are doubled from 500,000 to 901,000. A free of slave gave freedom to every single black.
