10 Proposals to make a change :))

* Nicolle's proposal is very convincing because it gaves new opportunities to people that have dissabilities. Also it gives to this people a way of thinking that they are equal and deserve the same treatment as normal people.

Ivania's blog proposed a good point for the criminals. Criminals are humans and much of them paid for their actions but they still have the right to have a family.

* I agree with Carol's proposal because criminals are humans but they comitted a crime and they have to pay the consequences of it. Criminals with a good behavior doesn't mean that they change for a better person or that they didn't comit the crime iin which they are accused.

Gaby's post is very interesting because it gives opportunities of a better live for the elderly people. This persons have the right to have a normal live and be treated equally since one of these persons can be our parents or grandparents.

* Francisco's proposal is very convincing and interesting. Equality is something that all people deserves and its a right everybody has. It guarantees that people would treat you with respect and that is what leads you to a success in life.

* I agree with Mariah's proposal because every women is equal, it doesn't matter in is married, divorced or single every women has the same rights to be treated with respect.

Nestor's post is very interesting since it talks in how Africans, Muslins and other cultures have gain their respect and equality from other cultures and people with disabilities should have the same treat since they are still humans and have the right to live a normal life.

* I agree with Randy's proposal because veterans are persons that risk their life for their nation and have the right to receive a payment every month.

Carolina's blog post is interesting since a lot of years people or Native Americans have struggled to have equality like white people. I agree with her because it doens't matter if you are black or white you are still made of the same thing.

* I like Karlitza's post because it states all the right elderly people have and that they are capable of choosing their own decisions.

Scholarships for all the students of the University of Puerto Rico

In oder for the government get benefits from the $800.00 dollars students have to pay every semester they have to give more method of helps for them. I Bianca Alvarez proposed a new scholarship that will help the students to pay on time. This scholarship will be approved for all the students of the university, for every person they will be a certain amount of money for the scholarship.

The scholarship will have a certain amount of money for every student base on the incomes of every person. This will benefit every student and also will benefit the government since they will have the payments on time. This money will come from private donations in which rich people will create a system of scholarphips for the students.Also this   scholarship will be given to the students every semester of classes. It is important to know that every student of the University of Puerto Rico will receive this scholarship depending on their incomes. If you my students vote for this amendment it will be approved rapidly for the first semester is coming. Remember is for the benefit of you my students and it will be done fairly for every person in the university.

This amendment will benefit all students and the government since we want to use this money for the benefit of the economical crisis the island is passing through. I'm counting with your vote to make a change and create peace between the government and the students, also to help you students to continue studying in the University of Puerto Rico.

UPR united we will win!

UPR(University of Puerto Rico) wants a change!

    Since the situation in the university of Puerto Rico has turn worst, since the last months the government is making changes for the students. New methods have been made for the students to be more comfortable to pay their studies on time. The government have create new scholarships in benefit to the students that have a low income.

   The government has established new methods like more scholarships, payment plans, and also loans for the benefit of the students. This will help the students gain more time for the dead lines of the payments. Students yet are not happy with the decision of not taking out the $800.00 dollars they have to pay every 1st semester classes, and still are protesting for their rights. Still they have not obtain to much of their protest but they are still fighting for new helps. Also the government have take the requirement of police officers in the university and know students are more quieter and doing things how they supposed to.

  The government has realized that the $800.00 dollar they imposed some of the students could not afford it and they make methods to help them. Most of the students have not agree with the decisions the government have made to help them and they still are protesting by making strikes and stop classes. Therefore, I exhort the government to make more methods to help the students and also that the students think more of the decisions they take in the time of fighting with the police.

Struggle & Activism of the Students of the UPR

   Students of the University of Puerto Rico have respond to the abuse of the police and the government has against them. They are doing protest against the treat they are having form the police. In some cases the students and the police had their conflicts like fighting and abuse verbally of each other. 


   The students are marching in the capital building and the university of Puerto Rico so they can be heard and stop the abuse against them. Also they have made strikes and stop the days of clases to let know the government they are also strong. This situation is getting worst everyday, the students and the police are more violent and they are getting to a point in where they can not interact with each other because they automatically start to fight. Some students and police officers had gone to the hospital because they have been attack and finish injured.

   Therefore, the situation of the University of Puerto Rico had reached a point in which students have been put in jail and others are demanding the government because of the treat they have got from the police. Also the students had interfere with the reunion of the representatives of the government and had violently protest with no authorization of the comitte of the students and the university.

Opression of Students of Public Universities

    Students of the University of Puerto Rico(UPR) have been mistreated since a long time ago. They have passed through many difficult situations to claim their rights of students. They are fighting to have more opportunities to pay their studies and get more money from their scholarships.

    UPR students have passed through a lot of fighting, mistreating and violence. The police who are supposed to control the situation are violating the privileges students has as being part of the university. They abuse physically of the students and verbally. Some students had to be taken to the hospital since the police attack them for being protesting in the university for their rights. This situation has go to court, students demanded the government and the police because of the treat they have obtain from this people. The police and the government are violating the right of freedom of speech which one of the amendments.

   In conclusion the group of the university of Puerto Rico(UPR) has been mistreated because of fighting for their rights. They have pass through abuse and the violation of their space of protecting for what they want. I hope the police and the government take consciousness of what they are doing and try to hear what the students are trying to have for a better university and country.
In this video the police starts attaking the students of the University of Puerto Rico because of being protesting in the capital building of Puerto Rico. The police start to attack them with pepper spray, they were hit with clubs and also they were push to the ground and abuse physically.

Student committee of the UPR!

     The University of Puerto Rico (UPR) is one of the major projects of U.S. cultural domination since its opening in 1903. Since then, the university has been recognize as one of the best universities in Puerto Rico. Like in all universities their has been many problems made by the students for the claim of their rights and also have been made by the teachers. 


      In 1919 was founded the Student Committee of the UPR, to fight for their rights of students. Since then the group has  been increasing, since in Puerto Rico problems has also increased. One of the largest fights or strikes in the UPR are because of the economical problems in the island. The government through out the years try to solve this problems but they instead of helping are raising  taxes and the registration of the university. Since the strike of October of 1973 teachers and administration has helped the students fight for their rights for better opportunities to pay their studies and for the payment of more money. The Student Committee of the UPR in Puerto Rico has been a strong group, until know since they are facing one of the strongest strikes or fights for their rights and for the government to have consideration of their economical situation and stop raising taxes and give more opportunities for their paying methods.


   Therefore, students have the right to fight for their rights and have more opportunities to pay their studies. This struggles of the government with the student committee has been very long since Puerto Rico economical status has been worse since long ago.

Traveling into another blogss :))

icolon's blog was intresting since I learned that Native Americans were the first group of people to live in the United States. Also they were hunters, fishers, and farmers. Whites threatened Indians to give their land since they discovered that the land was full of minerals and gold. Indians had to move to reservation camps since Whites take their land.

In Gabriela's essay I learned that Whites wanted that the Native Amercians assimilate or become like them. They wanted them to change their names to a christian name and educated them in the good way so whites can be seen as good peolple. Whites described the Indians as less educated, savages and uncivilized people. Also they wanted them to become totally of their culture.
    
Nicolle's post of the Nartive Americans was very interesting since it haves a lot of deatilas of the Indians. I learned that Indians were obligated to beleive in the same beleifs as the Whites. Also I learned that the Ghost Dance was inspired by Wovoka. During the reservation camps Whites made Indians to suffer a lot of diseases and hunger. Whites gave Indians alcohol in a form of medicine to their needs. They made them addictive to alcohol and they died.
In Carol's essay I learned that in all the movies of hollywood and of Native Americans, Indians are view asa the bad peole, savages and uncivilized. Also I discovered that in the reservation camps Native Americans chiefs were not longer the leader since whites were the one's who had total control of them. Indians lived in very poor conditions in the reservation camps since they depend on the supplies of the Whites. 
Francisco's blog was very interesting since I leaned that white men and Indians used to get along in many ways they had their differences but they got along with that. Also that whay is shown in the movies is not the truth and is an exaggeration and is only to make rating.
