By: Angelica. Mickela, and Ali There’s always been this rivalry between cat and dog owners. Some think cats are better and others say the opposite, or you could be an odd ball and like both. It really just depends on the person’s lifestyle and how committed they are. Another thing is what you value within a pet.
An advantage of having a cat is they are lower maintenance. You don’t need to take them on walks or runs to keep them happy. The second advantage being they don’t need training. If you don't have time to teach your dog good behavior, you're going to have a tough time with bad behavior. Cats, on the other hand, naturally do the right thing. The last advantage is they don’t need a yard. They just need a litterbox. An advantage of having a dog is they are more trainable. Teaching them to do tricks is fun, although it does take some time investment. The second advantage is that dogs are good alarm systems. We should feel safer knowing our dogs will alert us if there are intruders. The last advantage being dogs are great activity partners. You can take them running, hiking, and walking in off-leash areas. Within our class we asked what do you prefer cats, dogs, or both? The results that we ended up getting are: Cats: 0 People Dogs: 5 people Both: 5 People What do you prefer? What do people use snapchat for?

What Makes Christmas So Important? When you think of Christmas it should usually bring back warming memories. Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. On one magical day of the year we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, and we cheer a little more. Families and friends have the opportunity to get together and spend time with each other. It lets everyone remember why they care about each other. It connects people, what they choose to celebrate or not celebrate becomes an irrelevance really. For one day out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be. It's a miracle. Christmas is what you make it, so make it a good one. Just to get a better in look on why Christmas is important to other people each person in our group gets to answer the big question?
New Year’s starts January 1, obvious for the beginning of the New Year. Why would we celebrate New Year’s? Well millions of people do it around the world. People celebrate by having parties, amazing food, and enjoying time with good friends. The earliest record of New Year’s celebrations happened 4,000 years ago in Babylon. The Babylonians celebrated New Year’s because of the first new moon following the vernal equinox (a time when the sky is half shining and half dark). They celebrated with a massive feast which lasted 11 days.
Civilizations around the globe have advanced calendars, stating the first day of the year to an agricultural or astromical event. For example, in Egypt the year began with the annual flooding of the Nile, which coincided with the rising of the star Sirius. The Romans had a calendar that had 10 months and 304 days, with each New Year beginning at the vernal equinox. Over the centuries the calendar fell out of sync with the sun and in 46 B.C., the emperor Julius Caesar decided to solve the problem by the consulting with the most brilliant astronomers and mathematicians of his time. Julius then introduced his own calendar, which resembles the Gregorian calendar most of the world uses. As part of this new calendar, Caesar instituted January 1 as New Year’s. In honor of the god Janus, the Roman god of beginnings. In many countries, New Year’s celebration starts December 31- New Year’s eve- and continue into the early hours of January 1. Traditional New Year’s dishes include lentils in Italy and black eyed peas in the United States. In the United States, the most iconic New Year’s tradition is the dropping of a giant ball in New York City’s Times Square at the stroke of midnight. Millions of people around the world watch the event, which has taken place almost every year since 1907. It went from a 700-pound-iron and wood orb to a 12 feet in diameter brightly patterned ball weighing 12,000 pounds. Some traditions for us is to spend our New Year’s playing with firework sparklers, drinking sparkling cider, watching the annual ball drop in New York, and watching movies with friends and family. Some of us go to visit family members across the country, others stay home and cook a meal with the family. Traditions vary across the country for Americans, every family has a different one. |
