Is it ok to get involved on other people's business? Sometime it is and sometimes its not
Have you ever jumped into someone else's business? If so, why? Yes I have to make money when I needed it the most but only for a few days
Under what conditions/situations is it ok or even necessary for you to get involved in someone else's business? If the people call you and tell you to take over his or her job. if you have problems and cant do anything else ask them if you could do it or ask if you could work for them just to help you out.

1 Mexican cession in 1848 was a good thing because it made the United States bigger by adding these states to it and they where California, Nevada, and Utah,
2 Louisiana Purchase in 1803 was a good thing because it made the United States bigger these where the states that came with it Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, parts of Minnesota that were south of the Mississippi River, most of North Dakota, nearly all of South Dakota, northeastern New Mexico, northern Texas, the portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide, and Louisiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans.
3 In 1793 Eli Whitney invented cotton gin it was a good thing because we still use them today. The cotton gin is a mechanical device which removes the seeds from cotton.
4 In 1800 Volta invented electric battery and it was good because that’s what still gets around today
5 In 1803 Dalton devises table of elements that we still go by today
6 In 1800 the library of congress was found and it now se he research arm of Congress and is the largest library today.
7 In 1840-1860 the Oregon Trail was good because it was a migration trail and helped many people to better lives.
8 In 1822 Stephen Austin found a colony in Texas that is good because it made the United States bigger
9 The Missouri compromise in 1820 was good because it was getting rid of slavery.
10 In 1820 the federal government offered land at $1.25 an acre that was good because people needed their land or their own place to start their lives.
The Bad
1. The Missouri compromise in 1820 was bad because it extended slavery in more states than just one.
2. The cotton gin was invented in 1793 by Eli Whitney and it was bad because it made the slavery extend because the slaves had to plant more seeds because the cotton gin was so fast the slaves had to work even harder to keep up with it.
3. The Indian Territory was bad because it was given to the Indians and it could have been used for something better.
4. The fugitive slave act was not good because it gave the slaves the power to decide not to become slaves or not and a lot of their business back then wasn’t so good because the slaves did all the work.
5. Alien and sedition act in 1829 was not good because it gave the President the power to imprison or deport aliens suspected of activities posing a threat to the national government.
6. When Andrew Jackson introduces spoils system in 1829 it was bad because president Andrew Jackson let his friends and family replace federal employees.
7. Native Americans defeated in battle of Tippecanoe in Indiana territory in 1811 is bad because we needed the land and many people got killed in this battle.
8. The Indian removal act was not good because it was bad for the Indians because when they moved they had no place to go or to live.
9. The trail of tears was bad because all the people that walked died and the Americans didn’t even care the Americans took their land and made them walk for thousands of miles and many died on that trail.
10. the plains Indians cede land in exchange for reservations was a bad thing cause the Americans drove out the Indians to reservations just for the gold that was on their land the bad thing about it was cause that was their land and not ours so they chased them out and put them on reservations that they probably didn’t want to go on.
Does money lead to happiness? Sometimes it does and sometimes it don’t money makes you happy when you have it and when you don’t have it will make you really depressed and sad so money works both ways I think.

The fight that I had got into at school was mostly physical. In one fight that I know of, it was this older kid at my old school. It was a narrow hall. I happen to be walking down the hall and it had enough room for other people too. But it just so happen for this kid walking on my side of the hall. It’s just like traffic lanes I was on the left side as far as I could possibly go to the left and this kid would not move. So I stopped to let him by and he bumped into me and wanted me to apologize to him and I wouldn't because it wasn't my fault, I let him by, he ran into me and when I told him no he swung at me. I moved and hit him in the gut and as he feel teachers ran to me and held me back and the kid blamed it on me. It could have been avoided by me saying sorry and walking away but as you can tell I did not even think of getting into a fight over it. The outcome of the fight was the kid never bothered me again but we never liked each other after that. Their was no lesson learned from it that I know of. That is my fight story I know.

1.What motivates immigrants to come to the United States (today)? Consider what they lose and what they can gain in your argument.
i think that the reason is because they think we have a better economy. we have better jobs that we could give them. they don't half to pay taxes hear. so i think that is the reason that they have come hear today and ever since .
2. Thousands of Europeans chose to move to the British colonies. Some for economic reasons and some for freedoms. If you decided to immigrate somewhere, would you move for economic reasons or for freedom?
i think i would move for economic reasons. because are economy is so bad right now! nothing is going good for our country and i think the economy is the main thing that helps us out with money and all the stuff we have. we need to work on getting it back together soon. because i wouldn't want to move somewhere else
