Une journée dans la vie d'un albinos

                  Le professeur m'a placée à l'avant de la classe depuis que j'ai eu la difficulté à lire des enfants de retour. Les etudients moquer de moi tous les jours et appelez-moi des noms comme «figure pâle», «fantôme», «diabolique magicien", etc. J'essaie de se faire des amis avec d'autres élèves de ma classe, mais grâce aux médias, ils pensent que je suis un freek et je vais les blesser. des gens comme Silas dans le Da Vinci Code, les jumeaux albinos dans Matrix, Jeremy Reed dans "Powder" a laissé une impression que les albinos sont freeks et super-vilains qui se battent et tuent. Une réalité, ce qui est faux. Je n'ai jamais blesser personne, et je suis sûr que je ne serai jamais.

Pour ceux d'entre vous qui ne savez pas ce qu'est l'albinisme, l'albinisme est une problème génétique qui se produit en raison de l'absence de mélanine, une substance naturelle qui donne la couleur à vos cheveux, la peau et l'iris de l'œil. Cela nous amène, albinos, le teint pâle, ayant une absence de couleur. Certains symptômes d'albinisme sont: Yeux qui louchent, la sensibilité à la lumière, mouvements rapides des yeux et des problèmes de vision qui peuvent nous empêchent de vivre une vie normale.
                         
                                Les gens sont intimidés pour beaucoup de facteurs comme la race, la couleur, l'accent, etc et les albinos ne sont pas différents. Albanos visage intimidation régulièrement parce qu'ils sont différents. Mon conseil pour tous les enfants qui se sont victimes d'intimidation:

1) Éloignez-vous de l'intimidateur

2) Maintenez votre colère: Ne pas essayer de se venger par la force, il pourrait aggraver la situation

3) parler avec un adulte: ne le gardez pas pour vous parce que les problèmes ne dégénèrent.

4) Prendre l'aide des autorités si des problèmes s'aggraver. signaler l'intimidation s'il conduit à un danger physique.

5) Ne pas être seul: intimidateurs ont tendance à s'en prendre à des gens qui sont seuls et sans soutien

New year, new prices !

                  According to recent studies and research, the Guelph research team has predicted that the prices for food will rise significantly in the next year due to this year's summer drought which withered most of the crops in the Midwest region. The university of Guelph team states that the price of general food costs will increased between 1.5%-3.5%. The price of beef and pork will rise 4.5%-6.5%; eggs 3.5%-5%; grain 1.4%-2.7%; and fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts, fish and seafood to raise by 1%-3%. According to the report's lead author Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, "It was the worst drought in about 50 years..It pushed 2012 food prices above expectations". The report also states that we could be experiencing a lot more climate upheaval next year and the current food markets lack adequate food reserves to safeguard against unforeseen shortages or demands.

I strongly hate the raise in prices (I'm brown so I like to see my money inside MY pocket not in someone else's) but I understand the need for this so I'm not going to complain about it. This article strongly ties in with many of the concepts that we learned in our course such as supply and demand and demographic trends esp. geological. Because of the drought in the Midwest, there exists a scarcity for foods and thus since the demand for the food is high and there is not an abundant supply of the product, the owners are trying to raise the prices. Also, this article teaches how changes ( whether small or big, natural or unnatural)in one place can also have a great impact in other places. I think another reason the government is planning to raise the prices of the goods to meet the quota is to get more dollars circulating within our own economy rather than importing a lot from outside. As we studied in our course, it's always best to limit getting too many exports and making more goods within your country. A country should have a greater import level than exports in order to have a stable economy.

Money on the move : More money for the auto sector

      As per the article, the federal government is planning to invest another $250 million into the automotive sector to help manufacturers develop stronger, safer and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced today at the Ford plant in Oakville Friday that the feds are going to renew the Automotive Innovation Fund to help the struggling automotive industry. The industry had significantly increased his sales since the beginning off the contract in 2008.The government says the initial $250 million spurred $1.6 billion in spinoff investments. Friday's announcement followed surprising economic numbers that showed 40,000 jobs were created last month — 30,000 of them in Ontario — to bring the unemployment rate to a four-year low at 7.1%. The deal is really good for the economy because, as the results explain it self, it has created more jobs and have caused more circulation of currency within the economy.

                   Personally I support this contract by the feds because, although it is basically just another publicity stunt by Harper to stay in power, it has also helped Canada tremendously. Yes, Canada doesn't have a car company/manufacturer and thus all the money that is being pumped into this sector are being granted to the automakers who are either American or other foreign maker but on the bright side a lot of new jobs have been made and as a result several Canadians have been hired. Also, since this money is mostly for the manufactures of the other countries such as America, it will help to improve their economy as well. If the economy of America improves, it is also beneficial for us because our nation is heavily dependent on our neighbors. But one negative of this deal is that, the loyalties of the companies will stay within their countries of origin so although Canada invested so much money into the automobile industry, it won’t greatly benefit us. I think that the automobile industry is actually doing pretty good already and this was just another public stunt by Harper so prove that he is a social idealist and he cares about the economy whereas this move probably might have just added a few extra millions to his rich friends and not really affect the middle class people.
