I believe that we should learn civics to figure out what is going on or happened in the world around us. Also i believe that it will be important to know in the future about civics because it is very important to us and our society. 1st one 2 blog!!!

Rachel D. said...

I think it is a very important to learn about civics. So that we could learn different things about history. Instead of learning what we originally learned in our World Cultures class. We can go a little outside the box and learn a little more about the world, and how things happen around the world. I also agree with Demi.
2nd one to blog (yahhhhh)=D

Jan E >:D said...

I believe By studying civics, you will learn how our government, economic system and political system are supposed to operate. And how the Law's of our state opperate as well and what would happen if you break the law. 2nd One to blog!!

Rachel D. said...

Jan that is also a good reason to learn about civics. I agree with Jan & Demi 100%.

Danielle I. said...

I do think it is very important to learn about Civics. Civics allows us to learn about our goverment, the current news and whats happening around the world. I agree with Demi an Jan!!

Andrea N :) said...

I think that learning civics will get you far in life. I LOVE to learn to about history,governmnet, etc. We should study civics because it would be cool to see whats happening around the world. I agree with everybody that have recently commented on it!!!!! Also learning important historical events makes me interesting on learning what happened back then.

Also that N is my middle Intial. Haha but I forgot that i want to see how well they worked together during the war.

I believe that Civics is an important section of academics. Learning what you need to know as a U.S. citizen is highly important. If people from other countries know how our government works better than us, we should be ashamed. We were born in this country and have a duty to know our country's heretige, governent, and social economics. Civics is, and always will be an important part of the education system.

Casey Weiner said...

Also, I have read every comment, and highly agree about all the points my classmates brought up. This blog is turning out great!

Andrea N :) said...

I agree with Casey. Civics will always be part of the educational system.

Sophie N. said...

I agree with what everyone has said so far so yes i think it is very important for us to learn about civics. if we don't learn it now most likely we will never learn it which will in turn leave us uneducated about our own country which is very sad. by taking this class we will gain knowledge on our rights and the different citizenship roles we have to play living in america and how everything in the government works. so learning civics is very important.

Natalie K. :B said...

i agree with Demi because i think we should be more aware about our surroundings and what is going on in our world currently instead of just the old history.I also agree with Casey. I think that it is kind of wrong that people not even born in the united states, that had to take a test just to be a citizen know more about our country and its modern history than the average citizen does.
By the way the face in my name title is a chipmunk. :B

Natalie K. :B said...

I also strongly agree with Sophie.

Natalie K. :B said...

I just looked at the 2ND periods blogging and i think that they are more on the america topic than the whole meaning of civics.
exp..:
the 2ND period are not talking about other places in the world and just talking about america and also not the most current history ether

Stephen V. said...

I agree with what a lot of you said. Learning about civics will be a great way for us to learn about the government and the world around us. I think Casey has a good point but i don't think we should be ashamed. We should just not take so many things for granted. Thanks!

Stephen V. said...

I see what your saying Natalie. But some of them do talk about the world.

Demi :D said...

I also strongly agree with everyone that has said things so far. I think that 2nd period is also just focusing on the american topic when its more then just that but about the WHOLE world and the issues that is going on.

Choiboy(: said...

I think we should learn about civics at our age cause civics is really is the rights and duties of citizenship. We are the future of the USA so we should all learn how to be the best citizens in order for out country and community to grow/prosper.

Demi :D said...

Oh my goodness YES.When you sit back and look at everything we have and expect, we take so many things for granted thats its not even funny. But its nothing we should be ashamed of but just try to give more than you get.

Choiboy(: said...

Yeah I agree with Demi

Jan E> :3 said...

I agree with all of you guys :D And to me civics means society, Cultures , News , Wars, Government , and Knowing your surroundings. Without learning about civics you won't be able to have a good job if you are a historian or anything around that:3 . And Natalie I agree with that it is wrong that Natives would now more... Well... Idk mote to come maybe?

Connor B. said...

I believe it's important that we learn about civics in middle school.It's very important to know what's currently going on in the world and government economically and politically. Civics is something I believe will be usefull throughout life, so why not learn it early?

Kelsey Othling said...

Hey! I'm from 4th Period but this is what I said, "I think middle school is a great time to start learning civics! Think about what would happen without it! Nobody would be aware of the importants events and debates going around the world that could actually change our lives. We even get a look about how our governments run and even some American History. With civics, we can learn about citizenship. Americans take for granted their rights and freedom. Why not learn more about it so we can make the right desicions in life?" Thanks for listening!!!!!!!!!

Jenny B :)) said...

In my opinion, civics is important for us to learn in middle school because it teaches us about how people should act and what people should do as citizens. It will also teach us about the history, government, and economics of our country as well as other countries that are located throughout the globe. Also if we learn about some of the problems that these governments had, we can learn how to prevent them in the future. Civics is an extremely important topic that everyone should learn about.

Chika O. said...

Equally I believe that learning civics in middle school gives middle school students a look of what they will be doing in high school. Civics in middle school prepares students by giving them a more sheltered approach to harder teachers and textbooks that they have in high school.

Chika O. said...

Studying civics are the things about the world and what it holds, not just one point topic. Civics is the new and old things too because without them we couldn't be what we are today.

Rachel Erickson said...

I Think it is important to learn civics because we need to understand that we aren't the only people in the world. Other things are goin on in other countrys as places across the globe. This Will teach us valubale information about different culters and Understand things like why these two countries are fighting and these two are not. I Agree with Casey and Demi Completly.

Demi :D said...

I totally agree with Connor about learning civics early

Bryce T ;D said...

I think that we should learn about civics in middle school. You will be able to learn more about our culture, government system, economy and much more. It will also help use in our future as we become adults. And i agree with everyones comments!!!!

Rachel D. =-0 said...

I so far agree with everyone that has posted. Who is Anonynous that posted at 7:25 on August 30, 2011. I also looked over at 2nd period comments and they are on the topic just America in civics. I am tiered.

This does not imply that these kinds of products are free of contaminants however.

Here are some timely benefits that you may experience when you give
up smoking 'cold turkey'. Every section of society is getting involved to increase the consciousness about health.
