Napoleon's Theme Park

If I were Napoleon's theme park creator, I would add various of things for children to go there while getting interested in history. Such as, Merry-Go-Round Horse (Horse is like a French Revolution styling), Bump Car (the car is painted or styled as a horse), Shooting game (where us the people shooting will dress up as an French army and shooting the Army in Great Britian, we are in war so to speak).

Even though I am 14 years old, I will still go to the Them Park. SInce I would like to learn History while Enjoying it. Literally, this Theme Park isn't teaching us, but making us interested on history and learn form it. Also, I would suggest that they should put Josephine as a part of the Theme park, Napoleon's beloved, and make a couples river travel or somemthing since Napoleon really love Josephine and he did anything to win Josephine's love but I guess he failed. I want for Josephine to be here because not just children will, come but also couples. Usually who comes in amusement park are teenagers couples, they can share there love while also learning and getting interested about history.

They might learn that napoleon and had done many interesting things in his era. I think when they see this themepark they might be interested of how they get the games' names and will search it in interent and with that they will learn something from their research.

Courage.

         For my opinion,  courage is something we developed or produced not born with. For example you are climbing a mountain even though your are afraid, you still kept moving forward because you want to overcome your fear. After, you overcome your fear you became courageous then you will feel better, mentally or physically stronger, and do more things that you are afraid to do. As just  Edward Vernon Rickenbacker  said “Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.”. 

        Yet, developing courage is a very slow progress since sometimes you do not face you fear and just let it be or you think about negative ways that will happen when you do it, in order words you are afraid of rejection. Like, I developed my courage because I talk to some people and face my fear, and now I am slowly advancing my way to more social life.

        Confidence also comes with facing courage since when you face courage you overcome your lack of confidence. There is a lot of explaination of why confidence is such as big deal to human life. Such as society makes us doubt ourselves and that  makes our courage rise or lower. Our courage will rise because when we question ourselves we are more aware that we should not be the one who will change but the people or  society should. In other words we are thinking more positively than negatively which is a type of moral courage. It will be lower because it lets our self-esteem lower that makes us shy which also lowers our courageous development. Taking action can be virified to ourselves that our decrease of our confindence was based on opinion not reality.

      You can developed courage whether it is physical, social, moral, intellectual,and spiritual courage. The progression of courage can happen all the time.

Is a colonist a patriots or terrorist?

    During our Socratic seminar discussions, we talk about about the smuggling of the tea by the colonist in December 16, 1773 and they called it Tea Party. But, if it's for the British official point of view, smuggling could be a result of death. During the seminar, someone ask if the colonist could be referred as patriots or terrorist?

For my opinion, I will say they are obviously a patriots. For me, what they are doing is a good thing since they cannot help but smuggle goods because it is the British's fault for giving them a high amount of tax in materials/goods. Remember "tax without representation", British soldiers just barge in someone's house in order to see if they bought any smuggled goods and just take them away without the owners awareness. Also that act violated the rights of the people. That also made the Colonists anger since they are the ones feeding those soldiers because without the Colonists, the British won't have any money to feed the soldiers, when the Colonists is already poor and the British want to have more money?! I think the British is just being spoiled that they are getting the advantages with the help of the Colonial people. So, I say, they have a right to rebel for their opinions as John Locke has just said about government should listen to the people's point of view.
