Walmart does not believe in having unions a part of their business. Walmart however is not anti-union, it just does not believe that a union is right for their company. This is understandable to some, and there is much controversy over this subject. Many people believe that Walmart should have unions to protect their workers. Walmart has many strong points to how its business is run. They offer many jobs for a diverse group of workers some even with handicaps. Walmart feels that in order to be as successful as possible unions should not be a part of their corporation.
Commercially i think that Walmart is affected because it can look bad that they do not want a union. Which is protecting their workers. My personal beliefs on this is that unions are great but because Walmart doesn't have them as part of their corporation they are able to speak to the managers and higher up people on not the same level but in a respectable way. I think that Walmart is very good at paying well due to position and giving people jobs that might not have gotten them somewhere else.
I feel that they are a huge part of communities but they are not the whole part so this enables it to benefit the community but not monopolize it. The people can gain jobs from Walmart with flexible hours that will work for people who maybe have troubled getting employed. It also gives jobs to a lot of teenagers and young adults that maybe aren't as concerned with so many worker rights. Walmart also gives benefits to certain people and depending on how much you work and how long you have been working for their company.

I think that commercially Walmart also looks very good to many people, because of the reasons listed above. It really does give their workers the things they need depending on what they put into the company. Hard work is rewarded at walmart which i think is good. People these days just expect all these things to come to them for free and that they should get a job with all of these bonuses, but really they have worker rights, they are being treated well and according to the standards. If they work hard and are devoted to the company they will receive higher pay and more benefits. This is the law of the harvest, which i think is good for a large company.

In conclusion I would just like to say that Walmart is a growing corporation that is a part of almost all of our communities. I feel that if you don't agree with the way the run their company don't shop their and most definitely do not work there. Walmart helps many people with their low prices and jobs and it is up to you if you agree with they way they run things and if you are going to participate in a worldwide phenomenon that has taken off. Everyone can have their own opinion of this but i feel that Walmart is doing good things for communities.

Yemen is found in the Middle East, It's official language is Arabic. The Terrorist Attacks from 9/11 were involved with their country. This surprised me a lot because, everyone knows the main things about what happened on Sept. 11th, but i never have heard about Yemen before. The pictures on Yemen were very different from our culture here in Canada. The women dressed very different from what we wear. The buildings were built very different from our buildings and were found on hills. Overall their culture is very different from ours. They were partially similar because their were families and animals. Their culture seems more strict than ours as well.

How can life change so drastically from one moment to another? That is what I asked myself as I watched and read about the the horrible earthquake that recently occurred in Haiti. These people barely had anything before the disaster and are now left in an even more grave situation that they cannot change. They are desperate for aid, and are relying on the rest of the world to make a little change in their lives so that they can move forward as a country. What a huge impact this has had on many people across the world. It really goes to show that even though we may be in different countries we need to pull together in times of need. In order to change what has occurred everyone needs to stand together, and by doing so we can save lives and families. I don't think that the earthquake was a good thing, but i think that their are many lessons being learned from this experience. As Valentines Day nears the world has opened their hearts more than ever. To love someone you know and serve them is one thing, but to open your heart to a stranger, and give what you have to them, is probably one of the most sincere acts one can give. It is pure love and that is the best gift we can give these people. The disaster hurt many people but it also has given others the opportunity to reflect on their own lives and what they feel is important. Sometimes the best lessons are learned through adversity and helping others get through it. I have seen my small donations add up along with others, and I know that these acts of selflessness will make a difference for the people of Haiti. To the people in Haiti i would say, keep holding on and know that their are many people who are trying to help bear this burden with you. Know that their is hope you can and will get through this, because people all over the world and standing together to make this possible.

I am done my Olympic Sport Questions on Figure Skating*

Figure Sk8ting at the 2010 Olympics!

Figure Skating was an Olympic Sport before the Winter Games had even occurred. Figure Skating is broken down into three different categories: First the Single Skaters, Pairs and Ice Dance. Singles skate is also broken down into three parts. The short program, the long program and the free skate. The free skate is where athletes show their level of skill, difficulty and creativity. This part of the single skate is worth the most. It is 2/3 of the final score. The Pairs Skate is with two people, it involves a short program and a free skate. The score is determined by the synchronization of the the couple. It also involves throws, spins, lifts and spirals. The ice dance is also in pairs but, It is more of a dance, it is compared to ballroom dance. The main difference between the Pairs dancing and Ice Dancing is that in the second it does not involve lifts or overhead tosses. It is mainly made up of rhythm and their unison in step.

Some of the key terms that are associated with this sport are: Lifts, they are when the male lifts his partner right over their head with their arms fully extended. Shadow Skating is when the pair do the exact same movement of each other. Triple Jump is where a skater does 3 spins in the air. A step sequence is steps that are in unison to the music and to your partner. A twist lift is where the woman is thrown in the air spins and then is caught by her partner.

Most Athletes train up to three hours a day, but it usually can differ depending on the type of skating the athlete does. The spring time is usually time for skaters to work on technique and other skills by themselves or with their partner if they have one. In April and May Choreographers are usually found to choreograph their routine to music. They practice and practice their routine so that not only do they know it in their minds but their muscles know it as well. Once they have their routine down they present it to a group of high trusted judges. This helps them see how much their performance is worth and what they need to improve on.

Jessica Dube` and Bryce Davidson will be competing in 2010 Olympics this year as a pair. Jessica will also be competing as a single. She was born in Quebec and starting skating when she was four years old. He was born in California USA but moved to Quebec as well. They just won silver at a competition in Ottawa and are hoping to place well in this years Olympics in their home country.

Why I am Proud to be a Canadian*

I am proud to be a Canadian for many reasons. Canada is a wonderful country filled with many opportunities for a diverse group of people. Being Canadian is very important to me on a very personal level. If it wasn't for the great education program in Canada i would be living somewhere more warm. My dad always says that the only reason he lives through the harsh Canadian winters is so that his kids can have a good education. I have many relatives who live in different countries and their lifestyle makes me appreciate my own in Canada even more. I also love Canada because of it's beautiful environment. I really enjoy the diversity of the environment, the prairies and the mountains and the hills. I also am very proud to be a Canadian because of how much space we have. It is not a crowded and has a variety of cities and towns varying in sizes.

Education is free in Canada all the way up until grade 12. To have a country that cares so much about education is good. The rights for every child are equal so that we can all have the same opportunities, I think that that is very important. Two children that come from two very different families have the opportunity to receive the same education giving them both an opportunity to be successful based on how hard they are willing to work. I am very happy with the education i am receiving right now in my life. I feel that i am getting what i need in life in order to become what i want to be. In many other countries education is not as good and it often cost a lot of money and many families can not afford to put their children in school. This is really sad because poor families will stay poor because their children cannot obtain a much better life because their education was limited to them. Canada is doing the right thing in my opinion, this is the only way that every person can have an equal chance to do well. I think that a country should care about all their people and Canada definitely shows this through our education system.

The environment is such a huge asset to Canada. We have the beautiful mountains that are used for skiing, hiking and just for looking at. Canada has oceans and lakes and rivers all across it. The prairies cover Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. These are used for farming and they too are very beautiful. We are most definitely a very blessed country. We have all the resources we could need. I am thankful and proud to live in a place that provides all of this beauty that i can enjoy with my friends and family. Many people from all over the world come to Canada just to enjoy the beauty that we take for granted most of the time.

I remember when my Young Woman's leader got back from a trip to England to visit her husbands family. She said she loved it, and it was awesome to see the historical buildings and rich history that England has but, she emphasized how crowded it was their and how dirty it was. In Canada we are lucky to have such an open area. We have a huge country with a small ratio of landmass to the amount of people. Our country is also very clean compared to others. In describing our Country i would describe it as fresh. I am so happy to live in a clean environment that is so open and full of great resources.

I think in being a Canadian we can definitely take some of these things for granted. We are so blessed to live in this country. We may not agree with everything but for the most part our education along with many other things help give everyone an equal chance at bettering themselves and their situations. The environment is so bountiful and beautiful here in Canada. The resources that we also have are plentiful. We have all this beauty that we can enjoy in open areas. Canada to me is a great country full of opportunities for everyone. This makes me proud to be a Canadian.
