How does communism affect the world?

While some may argue communism doesn't affect the world a lot, it actually does affect the world in many ways.
One way communism affects the world is people loose a bunch of money! Most of there money all goes to the government. The government gets the money from you by making you pay a higher amount of tax. My Parents have to pay taxes every month! That's a whole lot of cash going right out of your pocket.
Another way communism affects the world is everything belongs to the government. Homes, land, cars, Everything! No one can own any private stuff. It all go's to the government.
Finally, communism affects the world because they believe that the state is better than individual rights. You are pretty much like a prisoner. You have to follow one religion and your forced to do a job even if you don't want to do it.
So as you can see, Communism affects the world in many many different ways.

What makes you powerful?

I believe there are many things that can make you powerful. One thing that can make you powerful is trust. If you gain trust from people they would look up to you and want to be more like you. What you do they do. You have control! Also, is if your an adult people will respect you and will do as you tell them to. Like your parents, most kids will do as they're told by their parents. Another thing that makes you powerful is if you're someone's boss at work. They will have to do what you say or else they would get fired by you. You have the right to do that to someone who works for you which makes you powerful!!! So as you can see there are really many things that make you powerful.

Cause for teen jobs

Benito Martinez

Period 3

My Mom has her own business so she can make money. My Dad has a job to make money as well. Everyone gets jobs basically to have money in their pockets to spend. While some people may think the main cause for teens getting jobs is because their parents can't afford to take care of them, to move, or just to have something to do, it's because they just want money.

Another possible cause for teens getting jobs is because Parents can't afford to take care of them. Some teens have to earn all the money and do everything for their parents. Especially the teens with handicapped parents.

Having a job can maybe even make you a little more rich than you were before. You may have very little to no money at all if you don't have a job. My friends all went to apply at a restaurant once, and before long they had at least 300 dollars by the end of the week including tips. They really love the tips because it's money they can use right away.

Teens get jobs to have fun. They want some money to spend at stores with friends. You can go pretty much anywhere with money and friends! I mean, who doesn't want to shop every once in a while?

So as you can see, this is the main reason for teens to get jobs. I think everyone should get a job at some point in time. The money will help you out in the long run.

Is burning leaves harmful to our environment and our health?

Yes, burning leaves is very harmful to our environment. Some people may think it helps because it gets rid of all their leaves. It's actually making a whole lot of air pollution. Yes, there are many good reasons for burning leaves but sometimes it can catch something else on fire and start a huge fire. That wouldn't be very good. Another reason burning leaves may be harmful to our environment is, the toxin and irritating paricles and gases inside the smoke, it is very bad for our health as well. It can stay in your lungs for years and maybe even give you respitory problems. Burning leaves is also illegal in many areas and states. So as you can see, burning leaves is hrmful to the environment and our health.

What is another way to learn how to break dance?

Well, there are many ways to learn how to break dance. One way is go on to youtube and type in anything like how to break dance. Or if you wanted to learn a specific move type that in. Another way is to go to a local boys and girls club and watch how they dance. Then ask them how they did that and see if they can show you how. Third, you can go to a hip hop dance class. They will usually have some break dancing lessons in there. Lastly, if you have any friends who know how to, ask them. So as you can see, there are many ways you can learn how to break dance. I believe the first one, youtube, is the best choice. That's how i learned how to break dance. But remember, it takes time. If at first you don't succeed, try try again. Good Luck!
