Today's New International Version

2009-09-07T21:47:56Z

KaraH:

The '''Today's New International Version''' is a [[liberal]], [[feminist]] revision of the [[NIV]], which was sharply criticized. The TNIV uses unisex, gender-neutral language unsupported by the original manuscripts, and even appeased feminists by omitting reference to Jesus as the unborn child:

:"When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she '''was found with child''' of the Holy Ghost" (Matt 1:18 KJV)

to:

:"His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, '''she was found to be pregnant''' through the Holy Spirit"

However, when referring to God, TNIV "retains gender-accurate, masculine terminology for references to God,"<ref>http://www.biblica.com/bibles/tniv/clarity.php</ref> much like its NIV counterpart.

Zondervan announced in 2009 its intention to discontinue publication of the [[TNIV]] and improve the [[NIV]]. "And we'll make sure we get it right this time," says Keith Danby, president and chief executive officer of Biblica. Maureen Girkins, president of Zondervan, also declared, "We need to undo the damage."<ref>http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2009-09-01-bible-translation_N.htm</ref>

'''1.''' For many reasons, between the years 1920 and about 1950 fascinate me. The culture and the ways of thinking are interestingly different, almost as if all the events took place in a different country. Battles within and without, whether for money (or lack thereof) or for human life and freedom were handled in a way that probably wouldn't happen today. Things that happened then could very well repeat themselves in the future, more realistically for monetary reasons then anything else, and because something like the Great Depression happened we already know what will work and what won't if we should ever face such a crisis as that again.

'''2.''' For starters, both presidents were once Democrats, but only Reagan later became a Republican. Reagan is the only president to ever to have had a divorce, but his wife never played (or tried to play) a major part in his presidency, unlike Bill Clinton. Reagan didn't have a scandal to cover up, and even if he did, I don't think he would have covered it up as Clinton tried to do.

'''3.''' I think money and the want for "the good life" is the main thing that America's building itself on, not only now but in the past as well. Greediness, Jealousy, and Acting as if I'm the Only One in the World That Needs to Be Taken Care Of is not a Biblical approach to life, but unfortunately I'm nearly surprised when I see someone who doesn't follow these rules. Everyone thinks about money. The poor who actually need it and actually need to concentrate on getting more simply to support their families, and the rich who never seem to have enough. No matter the year, there will always be someone following the "rules" and "guidelines" of America.

'''4.''' The greatest threat to America in realistic terms would be something so simple as "following the crowd." Eventually, only one will run this crowd, and of course, the crowd will follow. If the person who's in control isn't controlling with a Biblical perspective, then Christians will be persecuted if they don't agree or follow.

America's becoming so self-centered that in the future it's possible that we will no longer care about what's happening to people outside of our "great" nation, or even for those inside who are deemed to be an "outsider." If that should happen, it wouldn't be all too hard to overtake us, and America will be no more. No offense to our future president, but it would appear that he has little or no military experience, so something like America being taken over is possible. We have made so many enemies over the years, and I doubt that all those who we call ''friend'' are deep and true friends, more like those who are friends for the time being because it's convenient. If America's as prosperous as we all brag, then it will take the truest friends to not jump on the chance to have a part in bringing us down and taking our property and things of economic value.

'''5.''' The way I see it, there's no possible way for a country to stay exactly the same for decades upon decades. Different leaders are brought in and out of office and unless Americans want a dictatorship our country is going to change. After the first World Ward ended, America entered a decade of prosperity, happiness, and success. . .

. . . only to be ended with something so devastating as the Great Depression. "Pride goes before fall" is a very true statement, so no matter how successful times may seem only misfortune can be the realistic outcome.

'''6.''' Simply becoming President of the United States, and then being reelected for a second term is absolutely incredible since it would appear that he wasn't exactly the most successful person in the world. Serving America as he served would count for one of his greatest accomplishments, but closely followed by his speech at the Berlin Wall. Even though he was constantly told that he couldn't use a certain statement in his speech, he defied those who told him off, setting an example of almost prophetic proportions. ''Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!'' The wall would fall two years later, but Reagan's words remained.

'''7.''' At least the late 1400s, but no more then about 1550. America is still depicted to be very close to India, and a bit smaller then what it is in real life. America has met and surpassed many expectations, possibly a few of the cartographer too. But even though we are still "land of the free," it's getting harder and harder to be respected as a Christian even though Christianity and the want to follow Christ freely is what brought people to America in the first place.

'''H1)''' No one can predict the future, no matter how many sources, prophecies, or logic equations they use. Only fallible speculations can be made, but if one sets one's mind on searching for the things one predicted, one will only be confused and disappointed. So I can only loosely speculate at the events that will take place based on what Obama has or has not said, the things he does or does not believe in, the things he has or has not done. But everyone lies. For all the American population knows, Obama is an undercover agent for a branch of the Mafia, or maybe he's a peanut-butter and jelly specialist who's trying to force the stuff down our future children's throats no matter how unhealthy it is.

But in all seriousness, if Obama, his Cabinet, and the government isn't lying a number of things that are potentially detrimental to the American populace can take place. If a full-scale war were to break out, I don't know how Obama would handle it since it would appear he's had no military experience. If Obama's serious about his idea of a trillion dollar plan to bring the economy back into balance, it will take a miracle of God to keep our country from slipping into a depression; more and more people will be forced to declare bankruptcy as the country's debt surpasses all that should be possible or allowed. Millions of children in addition to the ones that are killed now will be killed before they even get the chance to breathe the air their mothers breathe. If Obama really does plan on making colleges free or dramatically cheaper, then taxes will have to be raised in order to support these schools, or simply allow the country to slip into a depression.

If Obama is Islamic, which actually believes a number of the same people Christians believe in, then it will be impossible to truly see if he is unless he confesses live on the news, or in a video that couldn't have been easily edited. Islam believes in Jesus, just not as their Savior, simply as a prophet, and a number of other Old Testament people. They believe in God, but probably not the God we believe in since they don't believe Jesus to be their Savior, so one can't say if Obama's talking about the Islam god or the Christian God in his statement of faith.

Needless to say, if Obama follows everything he's spoken about before the election, America might be facing a grim few years.

'''H4)''' Spying on people is an invasion of privacy, so my first instinct would be to say that it's wrong at all times it's used. But the people that are spied on really sometimes do deserve it. One can't take freedom for granted, running around and doing whatever one wants. If a person should do something like that, then I say it's fine for them to be spied on. They live in this country, so they really should be obeying the rules that have been here before they ever arrived.

'''H5)''' What's becoming more and more apparent as the years go by is the slight prejudice against Christians. Although those belonging to other religions claim that there isn't, then why is it that no one is allowed to make fun of another country or religion in America except Christianity? What is it that make us the butt of so many jokes? Maybe it's because we believe in one God instead of many? Or maybe it's because those of other religions make all Christians out to be the stereotypical Christian, and in your face, Bible-pounding, REPENT, THE END IS NEAR! kind of Christian. America was founded on Christianity, with many Christian leaders. What's happened to us within the past few decades that we have allowed ourselves to act in such a way that instead of leading others to Christ, we repulse them?

'''1.''' The Cold War took place in the mid 1900s, 1945-1991 to be exact. There are many who played a hand in the war. In America, Truman was at the start and was followed by Eisenhower and Kennedy. Truman attempted to face the communists by his support of those who resisted communistic moves, while Eisenhower took a different approach. He wanted to use the armed force to keep communists from the countries that surrounded the Soviet Union. Kennedy followed in Eisenhower's footsteps with plans to free Cuba with some thousand "Cuban Exiles." Along with this, he started a "race" with the Soviet Union to reach the moon. There was really no reason for this since the Soviets barely so much as tried, it seems that it was more the issue of pride since the Soviets managed to make it to outer space before America.

'''2.''' There are two major wars asides from the two World Wars that are nearly forgotten, yet combined over 100,000 Americans lives were destroyed, a total which doesn't include those lost in the opposing countries. The Korean and Vietnam wars. America had more business being in the Korean war then some others it has participated in in the past. Communism was on the verge of pushing past the Korean border lines and adding the millions of people to it's list of those it controlled. That would be one more country that could later turn on America, potentially endangering the population. However, Vietnam was yet another example of a war America didn't have as much reason to fight, nor to such a point. The reason we were in Vietnam was when an American ship opened fire on torpedo boats, the news somehow become muddled, making it seem as if we were attacked.

A country should be united, not divided, so I disagree with those who are fine with Korea being separate, nearly two different countries in belief and government, but I would agree with those that celebrate the fact that communistic views didn't take over the entire nation. Concerning Vietnam, I personally hate the outcome. We barge in valiantly, but later leave them to fend for themselves. Sure, we gave them a few planes to aid their cause, but it didn't stop the communistic Northern Vietnam from conquering the South.

'''3.''' What James Meredith must have endured in the quest for a fair education is simply incredible. Not many people have the strength and stamina to withstand riots, prejudice on that level, death of innocents, and later being shot at.

'''4.''' One of the two things President Johnson is known for is starting "Great Society" programs. The main object was to end poverty, so the "Office of Economic Opportunity" program, "Medicare," and "Medicaid" were started in the 1960s, alongside two others, "Elementary and Secondary Education and Higher Education Acts," and "Department of Housing and Urban Development."

'''5.''' Probably one of the most important Amendments that were ratified is the 22nd Amendment, passed under the hand of the 80th Congress. This Amendment is keeping future presidents from spending more then two full terms in office, simply because it's something that Washington did nearly 350 years ago, and his example should be followed. In addition, this protects us from a dictatorship until the Amendment is changed or discarded completely, keeping America a free country. That's the main thing that I admire in the entire 80th Congress.

'''6.''' The person I chose to be one of the most influential and important people in the mid 1900s is not only important to Christianity for showing us how we should view people with a Biblical perspective, but to America today. This man was a catalyst during some of the beginnings of a movement that potentially allowed Barack Obama to be selected president. Martin Luther King Jr. fought for every bit of freedom before he was shot at age thirty-nine, but with for hi last thirteen years showed all who listened that every man deserved to be free. No man or woman should have to fight to show that they're equal to the rest of the population, they should already be equal without being forced to take a stand. Nearly every child will recognize the name "Martin Luther King," for he took such a major stand that it was recognized by not just America, but the world along with it.

'''7.''' The Supreme Court in the 1960s was called "The Warren Court" after Chief Justice Earl Warren. It's custom to name the Court after the Justice who's presiding at the time; Earl Warren presided between 1953 and 1969. The Court approached each issue from what appears to be more of an atheistic view since one of the things they're known for is taking morning prayers out of a public school's agenda.

'''H1)''' No one can know can know another's heart, so I can't judge Muhammad Ali in saying whether or not he really converted to Islam. He announced his decision 2 year prior to being drafted, but one can't know if he did this simply to stay away from the war at all costs. All in all, the government should support each religion, not giving any one special treatment. If Christians want their wishes to be respected, then we should be fine with Ali getting out of the war for his beliefs. Now, whether or not he got out because he was already a famous boxer remains in question, but he that shouldn't make any difference.

If he only "converted" to get out of the war, then he should have been forced to go. If his beliefs really did change, then what happened is fine. Like stated before, we will never know his heart, his true intentions, so I can't say what happened was either right or wrong.

'''H3)''' The Equal Rights Amendment is one of the Amendments that look good on paper, but once it's exposed in it's entirety to the population and it's put into practice it shatters innocent lives. Very literally since abortion was technically okayed by this Amendment. Woman should be given equal rights to men in some aspects, but ends when it begins to factor in homosexual marriage, abortion, and even something so potentially disgusting as not having separate bathrooms for men and woman. God made men and woman two separate beings for some ultimate purpose, so who are we to say that we're ''completely'' equal?

'''H5)''' MacArthur certainly was original in his thinking, rather logical too. But I have to say, I don't think that homeschooling really had anything to do with it. Homeschooling boasts of equal or greater education then slightly more traditional means, but all the education in the world can't make one completely and perfectly logical. One can get to a certain point, but can't go much further; one has to be born with it. Homeschoolers tend to have a different quality education then private or public schoolers, sometimes better, sometimes not, so every genius in the world can't point to homeschooling as their method of brilliance. Those who can were simply taught to think differently, something that can be perceived to be of a higher education, but in fact it's merely different.

'''KaraH''' -- ''In Progress''

'''1.''' I've always liked history, historical fiction being one of my favorite genres for books. Asides from the fascinating time periods and details, I can see just how valuable it is to learn other's mistakes so they won't happen again. For a modern day example, we can look back into the past during the Depression era to try and see what exactly went wrong so it won't happen again with this recession. Whether or not using the past will solve the present, only time will tell, but it can still certainly be useful.

'''2.''' I think once we were attacked we had every right to join the war, however if the attack really was known before hand, then it should have been prevented so war wouldn't have to take place at all. Now, as for the timing, I don't think we should have joined sooner. As far as I know England didn't ask for our help, and we might have made it worse by jumping in when we weren't really needed. The Battle of Britain is a good example. There were 7 Americans in the entire battle, and some 100 English fighters. They, and some Polish and Swiss pilots held of the Germans, forcing them to call of their attack. With little help from us at all.

'''3.''' I like how it was in the earlier days. When no one had problems with immigration. America is a free country with much better benefits and opportunities then most other countries. Why should we hoard all these things? Why should we complain when others are willing to work harder and longer then us? If immigration were free, or residency cards easier to obtain, maybe there wouldn't be as much illegal immigration as there is today.

'''4.''' I think the thing I like most about the '20s is the contentment the people must have had. For all they knew, life would always continue to be this way, and they sat back and enjoyed themselves. Not that life should always be that way, there should always be a time for work so laziness doesn't set it, but if there are things that make you happy and alleviate your stress, then there should be a set time to enjoy these things, and from what I can see, that is what seemed to happen for a majority of the '20s.

There is an issue, though. Since everyone believed life would always be this way, they were in no way prepared for the sudden crash of the stocks. It's better to fear the future and be prepared then to ignore possibilities and be disappointed.

'''5.''' The New Deal was an interesting idea. It all sounds good in theory, giving the unemployed jobs so they can support their families. But there ''is'' a problem. A job, especially if it's a blue collar job, can really only last a limited amount of time. Once that job is done, those people will be out of work. It will also cost the government money to do a job that may or may not be top priority.

'''6.''' As horrible as they were, and even though there were thousands of innocent lives lost, I believe that it was the right thing to do. Japan had to surrender, if they didn't we would have had to invade the country, costing thousands upon thousands of Americans, and Japanese militia. But I believe the common people would have been lost as well, since they were being trained to defend themselves from "the enemy." They probably wouldn't have stopped until all were dead or weakened, and this would have caused much more death then the bombs.

It still took two bombs to show Japan that we were serious, two weapons capable of mass destruction. I don't know how much more they would have needed, how many more lives they would have sacrificed had we not dine it this way.

'''7.''' It appears the ghostly figure in the cartoon represents Teddy Roosevelt, the huge sticks being brought into the White House standing for the power from the House and Senate. Now, this could either represent the time when the foreign policy with Latin America, but more probably when the United Nations came in effect. That could explain the dictatorial power print, for someone refused to obey them and was court-marshaled. If this is the case, then the cartoon was penned in the 1940s.

'''H1)''' I would have to say that presidents are becoming followers as the years go by. Very few have stood, or stand for new or different choices that the people may or may not agree with. That's simply how they get elected, though. They say they believe in the causes that a majority of the country believe, get themselves elected, but one really has to wonder if they believe these things or not. Especially when a number of the "popular causes" contradict each other.

Now, having the same beliefs has a majority of the Americans can be seen as becoming a leader, wanting to lead America in the most popular way. But all this leader is leading is simply "the cool crowd," those with the most popular beliefs and ideas. So I say that no matter what it may look like, presidents have become a group of followers instead of true leaders.

'''H3)''' There is certainly a possibility of America going into a depression. For that matter, there's a chance that the entire world will be drug down alongside us. If somethings like this is going to happen, there's very little we can do to stop it completely; many efforts have been made just to stop the recession in America, which in my opinion is doing nothing more then plunging us into even further debt. I'm still not one-hundred percent sure whether a depression is going to happen or not, but I do know that it would serve this country right. With trillions of dollars in debt, we're some of the greediest people in the world, and who knows the mind of God to see into the future? So all I'll say is it's a possibility, but even if it happens and brings with it obviously depressing things, and even living prophecies, we needn't be worried. Whatever happens will be for God's glory; even if we lose houses, cars, or jobs, all the better so we can praise God with no distractions.

H4) The United Nations is another interesting thought, another thought that looks good in theory, but when in practice it isn't entirely satisfactory. It ''can'' be a good place for nations to meet and greet, potentially avoiding wars, but if it really wants control of the entire world, then it would have to set some rules which many can not and will not follow. That's dictatorship, something most people fight against for the point of freedom.

With trillions of dollars in debt, we're some of the greediest people in the world, and who knows the mind of God to see into the future? So all I'll say is it's a possibility, but even if it happens and brings with it obviously depressing things, and even living prophecies, we needn't be worried. Whatever happens will be for God's glory; even if we lose houses, cars, or jobs, all the better so we can praise God with no distractions.

'''KaraH'''

'''1.''' There's a number of things I could have done to better prepare myself for this test. Had I all the time in the world, I would have read all the lectures leading up to the midterm instead of simply focusing on the terms. As it was, I really only focused on the bolded terms, I wish now I had studied the terms that weren't in bold much better then I did. One thing in any period of history I could really work on are the seemingly smallest details which often times make a huge deal later on.

'''2.''' Number ten, which says, "'He who has gold makes and accomplishes whatever he wishes in the world and finally uses it to send souls to paradise.' This quote describes the twin goals of whose mission?" It was Christopher Columbus, something which I didn't know before and found somewhat fascinating. That time period had much new discovery and hope of adventure, just like any well written novel.

'''3.''' When a single certain religion is presented to be taught to children as if it were the only correct reasoning, there are bound to be a number of protestors. As is happening in schools today, when textbooks and teachers rely on a simple theory instead of admitting a greater Being may be in play, so was it happening in the schools of the early twentieth century. This is what brought Clarence Darrow and William Bryan to debate in a highly publicised trial.

A textbook being used by a man called John Scopes taught young children in Tennessee that the Piltdown Man was a large link between human life now, and ape life in the far past. This was proven to be nothing more then a hoax some years later, but still a larger, more disturbing, matter remained. White supremacy. It was taught that people of lighter skin was further evolved then those with darker skin tones. A large racial dispute that should not be taught in schools.

'''4.''' No path should lead to war, not even with the best of intentions. However, I can see why America would have wanted to join this war. A German submarine sank a British passenger ship, which contained many American passengers. No matter what happens in war, innocent people who have to way of defending themselves should ever be involved, so perhaps in this case it was best to try to intervene. It was a good excuse, but because of joining it, many more lives then the lives that were lost on that ship were forever gone. It wasn't a direct attack against us in which we needed to defend, but instead an attack on English neighbors. So all in all, even though there are a few good reasons for joining, I don't think we should have at all.

'''5.''' He was a man of interesting opinion, that's for sure. When he dealt with foreign policy, he "spoke softly and carried a big stick." In 1903, Roosevelt completed his greatest moment, the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty. This was a treaty with Panama which enabled the United States to use a five mile wide length of land to build the Panama Canal. It was nearly outrageously expensive, but it saved money, fuel, and possibly lives in the long run. Ships no longer had to boat the entire way around South America if they wanted to go from the Pacific to the Atlantic, or from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This was a good economic move for Roosevelt, in my opinion.

There are things that I found to be odd about him, though. I really dislike his idea to promote the simplified English. For those who had not yet started reading and writing, or even learning the language, it wouldn't present too much of a problem. But for those that already did and knew these things, it would make everything much more difficult. Even though it's "simple," those who learned the other way would have to spend a good deal of time to relearn everything. Spellings of words shouldn't change. If people are having difficulty learning English because of the difficulty from reading and spelling, I'm sorry, but there is now a set way of spelling things. Everyone here is accustomed to spelling things this way. If there's a problem with that, go learn a different language.

Roosevelt was just an ordinary man, who had good ideas and bad, and it's easy enough to see which is which unlike some people where you have to dig to find anything good or bad.

'''6.''' The seventeenth Amendment states that instead of different legislators, the common man was allowed to vote which Senator they would like to govern their state. This prevents the government from becoming corrupt, for if the current government is corrupt and the people see it, they can do something about it. If they didn't have the right to vote, all they could do would be standing back and watching as their freedom in what they wanted crumbled around them.

'''7.''' It would appear that it's depicting Teddy Roosevelt to be coming in between Russia and Japan. This would represent the Russo-Japanese War, when Roosevelt asked for representatives of both countries to come to America to discuss peaceable options.

'''H2)''' Free speech is free speech. It's what makes America "the land of the free," and when something gets in the way of that, there's a situation. The Postal Service was given the right to ban or confiscate anything that could be treasonable, so that would mean people didn't have the freedom to say what they pleased. It was illegal to go against things the government said was good, which is another infraction in free speech, and you could do serious jail time if you aided "the enemy." That last one seems to be a good idea, but if you don't have freedom to believe in what you want, and help those who you want to help, then there's no real freedom. There's no real point for there to be people supporting the "opposite site" here in America, but it's perfectly possible. For example, I really don't like the Yankees. That didn't keep me from going to a Yankee game, I simply supported the other side. Because that's freedom, I'm allowed to do that. When a certain rule or law gets in the way of that, like during World War 1, all real freedom for the common man was taken away if they couldn't discuss their thoughts through something so simple as the mail.

'''H3)''' I don't think Prohibition of alcohol was at all good. When something is made to be illegal, human nature somehow wants to do whatever is illegal even more then when it was legal. I've been told that the countries that don't really have many laws against alcohol have fewer problems with the stuff compared with the countries that have many laws against it. I admit, it seems alcohol is rarely treated with respect, but it can be used for good. When small amounts are used for celebrations, it can make a simple occasion all that much more special.

It was never banned in the Bible, Jesus Himself drank wine, however, it ''does'' say that one should not become drunk. If one should ever want a country to live with a Biblical respect to alcohol, they should not suddenly ban the substance completely which would cause people to be even more tempted to abuse it, but instead limit the amount a single person is permitted to buy and consume.

'''H4)''' The questions of the midterm were very challenging. A number of them I was able to puzzle out, but there were still quite a few that I honestly had no clue. From my understanding and memory of it, all, or nearly all of the time periods we have studied were covered. And, basing this on the handout that had the percentages of each subject matter, each subject was well covered.

'''6.''' The seventeenth Amendment states that instead of different legislators, the common man was allowed to vote which Senator they would like to govern their state. This prevents the government from becoming corrupt, for if the current government is corrupt and the people see it, they can do something about it. If they didn't have the right to vote, all they could do would be standing back and watching as their freedom in what they wanted crumbled around them.

'''7.''' It would appear that it's depicting Teddy Roosevelt to be coming in between Russia and Japan. This would represent the Russo-Japanese War, when Roosevelt asked for representatives of both countries to come to America to discuss peaceable options.

'''H3)''' I don't think Prohibition of alcohol was at all good. When something is made to be illegal, human nature somehow wants to do whatever is illegal even more then when it was legal. I've been told that the countries that don't really have many laws against alcohol have fewer problems with the stuff compared with the countries that have many laws against it. I admit, it seems alcohol is rarely treated with respect, but it can be used for good. When small amounts are used for celebrations, it can make a simple occasion all that much more special.

It was never banned in the Bible, Jesus Himself drank wine, however, it ''does'' say that one should not become drunk. If one should ever want a country to live with a Biblical respect to alcohol, they should not suddenly ban the substance completely which would cause people to be even more tempted to abuse it, but instead limit the amount a single person is permitted to buy and consume.

'''H4)''' The questions of the midterm were very challenging. A number of them I was able to puzzle out, but there were still quite a few that I honestly had no clue. From my understanding and memory of it, all, or nearly all of the time periods we have studied were covered. And, basing this on the handout that had the percentages of each subject matter, each subject was well covered.

'''1.''' There's a number of things I could have done to better prepare myself for this test. Had I all the time in the world, I would have read all the lectures leading up to the midterm instead of simply focusing on the terms. As it was, I really only focused on the bolded terms, I wish now I had studied the terms that weren't in bold much better then I did. One thing in any period of history I could really work on are the seemingly smallest details which often times make a huge deal later on.

'''2.''' Number ten, which says, "'He who has gold makes and accomplishes whatever he wishes in the world and finally uses it to send souls to paradise.' This quote describes the twin goals of whose mission?" It was Christopher Columbus, something which I didn't know before and found somewhat fascinating. That time period had much new discovery and hope of adventure, just like any well written novel.

'''3.''' When a single certain religion is presented to be taught to children as if it were the only correct reasoning, there are bound to be a number of protestors. As is happening in schools today, when textbooks and teachers rely on a simple theory instead of admitting a greater Being may be in play, so was it happening in the schools of the early twentieth century. This is what brought Clarence Darrow and William Bryan to debate in a highly publicised trial.

A textbook being used by a man called John Scopes taught young children in Tennessee that the Piltdown Man was a large link between human life now, and ape life in the far past. This was proven to be nothing more then a hoax some years later, but still a larger, more disturbing, matter remained. White supremacy. It was taught that people of lighter skin was further evolved then those with darker skin tones. A large racial dispute that should not be taught in schools.

'''5.''' He was a man of interesting opinion, that's for sure. When he dealt with foreign policy, he "spoke softly and carried a big stick." In 1903, Roosevelt completed his greatest moment, the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty. This was a treaty with Panama which enabled the United States to use a five mile wide length of land to build the Panama Canal. It was nearly outrageously expensive, but it saved money, fuel, and possibly lives in the long run. Ships no longer had to boat the entire way around South America if they wanted to go from the Pacific to the Atlantic, or from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This was a good economic move for Roosevelt, in my opinion.

There are things that I found to be odd about him, though. I really dislike his idea to promote the simplified English. For those who had not yet started reading and writing, or even learning the language, it wouldn't present too much of a problem. But for those that already did and knew these things, it would make everything much more difficult. Even though it's "simple," those who learned the other way would have to spend a good deal of time to relearn everything. Spellings of words shouldn't change. If people are having difficulty learning English because of the difficulty from reading and spelling, I'm sorry, but there is now a set way of spelling things. Everyone here is accustomed to spelling things this way. If there's a problem with that, go learn a different language.
