Why are there problems with co-exsistence between wolves and humans at Yellowstone National Park?

See how peaceful wolves can actually be!

There have been a few problems between wolves and humans at Yellowstone National Park for the past couple of years, and I'm blogging about this topic so I can find out why. Well, for some odd reason people think that wolves are the top predators at the park. Do you know what they did to the wolves when they caught them? They killed them. Some in a brutal and crucial way. I don't know about your opinion but I have to be on the wolves side because it is their land for the most part and we came in and took that from them. I know wolves can be dangerous but seriously, come on people. who kills a wolf? Well, apparently they do. They give the excuse to kill wolves because "They threaten human safety" Okay, well it's obvious that we are going into their territory so of course they'll feel threatned, they're not just going to let you come in and do what you want. They are also killing all of the wildlife, well they have to in order to live right? It's going to be the wolf killers fault to cause the extinction of wolves. Wolves are really fascinating to me and if they go extinct because people feel it's right to kill them, then there will be no more wolves to learn about. So my opinion is that the wolves shouldn't have to worry about their safety or their young's safety everyday of their life. But the good thing is that they are finally leaving the wolves alone for a little bit and the wolves can finally live in peace, without doubt or worry.

WHAT IS JUDAISM?

Just to let everyone know that The Star of David is not a negative symbol!

INTRO:
What is Judaism? Judaism is one of the world's largest religions today. It has a total of 14 million people who identify themselves as jewish.

FOUNDER:
Judaism was founded by a man named Abraham, who was actually desended from Noah, and was sent by god.

DATE AND PLACE FOUNDED: It was founded in Mesopotamia c. 1300 BC. Some major places that has judaism is found are Israel, Europe, And the U.S.A.

HOLY BOOKS/TEXTS: They have a couple important holy books, but one main one, The Tanakh with the Talmud.

RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS: Some religious holidays of theirs is Rosh Hash Anqh: (Jewish New Year), Yom Kippur: (Day of Atonement), Sukkot: (Festivals of Booths), Hannukah, Tu B'Shevat: (New Year of trees), Purim, and Pesach: (passover.) Wow those are a lot of confusing names for those holidays!! For example, Sukkot, or Festival of Booths, is where they celebrate feasting. Just like how we celebrate Thanksgiving.

RITUALS AND CUSTOMS: They also have rituals and customs like the Birth and Naming Ceremonies, Brit Nilah (which means circumsision,) Redemption of the Firstborn, Coming of Age, Jewish Marriage, Divorce, Death Rituals, and Mourning.

DRESS AND CLOTHING STYLE: What they wear are long sidelocks, and black clothing. Men are not allowed to shave or trim their beards. It is not permitted. Women must, like other religions cover up their bodies.

HIERARCHY/ORGANIZATION: The hierarchy or organization of the social life is based on your home life. First comes the Rabbis'(they are religious teachers), then the High Priest(someone who is the highest reverend), and after that the Sanhedrin(are a group of judges), and probably peasants and such. Judaism is actually a cool and interesting religion to me and I wish I could've found out just a little more! I'm going to give you this link ("http://www.religionfacts.com) so you can do some research and learn a little more about Judaism.

Problems with friends!

I found this website that tells me how to co-exsist with my friends. Every one once in awhile has these sort of problems, like not getting along with other people, groups of friends(cliques), and even not getting along with your friends. For example one day your all fine and good with your best friend one day and the next thing you know your fighting for some reason. Now this website i checked out gave me information about why these things happen and how you can resolve around it! Well friends can be the best thing in your life, and you don't know what you would do if you never met them. But sometimes you just can't stand them... right! Well that is the problem these days, everyone is nice and then end up fighting. If you always fight and then are friends again then you shouldn't be friends because it destroys your other friendships too! But others might say different. I think people should get it together, if your friends then you should act like it. Now this can also effect the other "cliques". If your popular then everyone would want to follow you maybe and it would cause a HUGE problem. So what i'm saying is friends should be friends and we shouldn't have problems with co-exsistence in our friendships!

FRESHMAN YEAR... Ohh NOOO!

Freshman year we all think of as a scary time in your life because we are going out of a small school and going on into a huge school, with not just two grades but four grades! Now that would be pretty scary! But I just started my freshman year and I'm going to tell you, that it isn't that bad! Well I found some tips to help you survive freshman year and I'm actually going to try them!
1. Start of to a great year! That means that when you get homework, do it and actually turn it in! Also try to be good and not get into any fights or get on your teachers bad side!
2. Hang with the right crowds! If you are friends with crowds that, lets say... are smokers or drinkers. Well they can encourage you to turn into one of them and that would mess up your whole school life.
3. Be positive and stay confident! Thats all you can do to pass, just know that you can make it and you won't give up on yourself, your family, and your future. Because all that you should worry about in school is you, and your future! You won't lose your friends but if you get caught up in your friendship life you will probably lose you future.

Co- Exsistence in your community.


As part of team 3, I am excited to be blogging this year on the topic of co- existence!

Do you belong to a community, or clubs, or groups??? I'm going to be blogging about communities also how they involve co- existence!
Isn't that exciting!!? Every one well not everyone but a lot of people is involved in a ''community'' of some kind! There are clubs, groups, neighborhoods, even your families can be a community! So pretty much everyone is involved in a community I guess! Communities are where people live in the same city, neighborhood and are involved in helping their enviroment and working together.When we are working together we can help improve our community and enviroment! Now I'm going to be interviewing people that live in my community, and update you on anything I find quite interesting or would be good on my blog!
