The Making of a Terrorist

Svoray says that what causes young men and women to become terrorists is their desire to do something with there life. Most of them come from lives where they haven't made much of themselves or there lives are boring so when they are given a chance to do something else and travel and make money, they take that opportunity. Most of these young men and women see it as a glamorous life where they do the job and get a big reward and they aren't aware of there actions. As stated in the story, most of these young men and women are stupid and don't realize what they are doing. They are just simply following orders and if they don't follow through on that order then worse consequences will come from it.

End of the Year Survey

This year in world civ, I learned what started World War II because I didn't know this before. My favorite thing we did in class all year was building the bridges. I feel that some subjects that we have learned in previous years of social studies could be left out such as the detials of certain wars and especially the industrial revolution because I have been taught these things every year in school and its already knowledge to me that I don't think needs to be given to me again. I think that extra time on assignments was a hindurance because the longer time we are given to complete an assignment, the more i forget about it and i end up forgetting to do it before the due date.
