Research Paper Post 1/27/14


   My research topic is about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during the holocaust in Poland. The suffering and hardship inside the ghettos lead up to the desire for and planning of a rebellion for demanding human rights through the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.  I am interested in this topic because I wanted to look further into memorable events during the holocaust, and I came across the Warsaw,Poland labor camp. As I was researching information about the camp, I realized that I wanted to focus on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising because I found it more interesting. I have specifically learned that the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a great part of the beginning of human rights during the holocaust. Also, I got to find out what happened to Jewish people in ghettos, and see what their lives were like when I found interviews of actual people that witnessed and lived in the ghetto during the Uprising. 
   The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a revolt against the Nazi's in the Warsaw,Poland ghetto. The suffering and hardship inside the ghettos lead up to the desire for and planning of a rebellion for demanding human rights through the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The Jewish members of the ghetto in Warsaw worked together to gather weapons to fight against the Nazi's and make an effort to be free out of the ghetto. Most of the people inside the Ghetto died of starvation or disease. The war between the Nazi's and the Polish Jews inside the Ghetto went on for about 8 days. Eventually all of the Jews were either killed, or sent to death camps. This rebellion resulted in many other ghettos near to fight for their human rights and fight against the Nazi's.

Warsaw,Poland Ghettos during the holocaust 1/13

   I am researching the Warsaw,Poland ghettos during the holocaust. A "ghetto" was a small area that Jews were placed in by the nautzi's with limited amount of resources. Most ghettos were liquidated, and the Jew's were transferred to concentration camps. In Warsaw,Poland there was a famous uprising, or rebellion by the Jews. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is a historical moment in time that should be remembered because it was a part of starting the rights for freedom.
   I started off with concentration camps, then narrowed down my topic into something more detailed. So I ended up with the Warsaw,Poland concentration camp. I studied the camp, and as I was researching my topic and I came across the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and I was very interested so I decided to go further into research on that certain topic. Some of my bibliographies are focused on a broader topic then my current topic, so this week I plan to correct them.

What would happen in a world where it was the child's choice to go to school? Would you go to school? 1/13

   In a world where children could choose whether to go to school or not, the world would be very unintelligent. Being that a child is young, immature, and inexperienced in the world, the choice would be obvious. Children aren't going to know what is right and wrong, so when one has to wake up early and go do schoolwork, it isn't so appealing when you could be at home watching TV and sleeping late. Going to school is obviously the right thing to do, but most children aren't going to know that. So, when they actually realize that they need school to be successful it will be way later in life, so education will take a very long time.
   In all honesty, I think I would choose to not go to school, and then later on realize that I need the education. Also, I feel like I would slack off on school a lot more, and choose to not go sometimes. A world where it is the child's choice to go to school, is not a world that I would want to live in. On the other hand, I think most parents would force their children to go to school like I know my mom would. Education is key to success and young children aren't going to realize that until later in life.
