So most American’s know that Osama Bin Laden was killed by American forces on May 1st of 2011. Most American’s now feel safe with him dead but I on the other hand do not. I feel that the main focus of our armed forces has been centered on Afghanistan and Iraq looking for Osama meanwhile he was in Pakistan. Now that he is dead our troops will still not be coming home and we will still be fighting for oil. Our troops will still be fighting over policies that our government feels necessary. Also when it comes to terroristic groups when a leader is being hunted he selects a prodigy. That prodigy will soon have to prove that although Osama is dead Al Qaeda is not.

Positive and Negative Externalities
What is an externality? An externality is a benefit given to the people with or without a cost. Why does the goverment regulate certain externalities? The government does this to help prevent health issues, global issues, and decrease the chance of spending money to fix these issues. An example of how this holds true with positive externalities is the example of the flu shot. The flu shot is usually covered by all insurances and is usually free to the patient but if people ignore this benefit they are more likely to get and spread the flu causing health probllems throughout the area. An example of why the government regulates negative externalities is because if a negative externality suffers damage its more costly to the government. An example is the nuclear power plant in Shippingport, PA. If something were to ever happen to the power plant it would cause the government massive ammounts of money on controlling the radiation, curing the people exposed, fixing the plant and its sources, and lastly sorting out the person(s) responsible. So for these reasons the government regulates certain externalities to prevent health issues, global issues, and decrease the chance of spending money to fix these issues.
One day on Earth
Hey it’s DT again. We as Mr. Sal’s POD period 3 class just finished our one day on Earth project. I did my project with two other people and our topic was jobs that teenagers have. We picked this because it’s something we feel people over look. We feel alot of teenagers work tiring jobs and this was a way to show everyone what common jobs are for teenagers. I think our project will be good but if I could change anything I would have people taking pictures of me working rather than just things I do.
