Importance of freshwater

- More than two-thirds of the earths surface is covered in water.
- Accessible fresh water accounts for less than one-tenth of 1 percent of all earth's water.
- people have tapped half of these freshwater sources already.
- unfortunately fresh water Is rarely found where it is needed most.
- 97% of liquid fresh water is stored underground in aquifers( a body of permeable rock that can contain and transmit groundwater)
- these aquifers are being depleted faster than they can be recharged
- between 5 and 10 million people (mostly children) die each year from water related illness
Here are some links if you want some further information about this topic

photos for history

this image (below) shows the British and the french conquering the middle east on the scramble for south Africa. (bottom left corner says scramble for south Africa) We chose this image as colonisation was covered by war and this was a war for Middle East and the beginning of the scramble for South Africa.
 
We chose this image as it shows the European countries having a tug of war for Africa. As the Europeans were fighting the Africans the Africans were fighting for the rights and country and they fought from the 1870's to 1900. The 3 reasons why they want Africa were economic, political and social. At this point of time slave trading had hit a collapse of profitability
 
 
This image (below) shows an island being invaded by many different brand names and symbols. some of the most easily noticed are Coca-Cola, Disney, McDonald's, Castrol, Nike, Windows and many more. We chose this image because it symbolises a little (unwealthy countries) being invaded by all these brands that go international.
this image (below) shows elf working and the caption saying " santa's workshop is movinf to mexico" and the paycheck says " NAFTA sweatshop ". We chose this image because mexico is a place were lots of the worlds things is made and santa makes toys for kids and they go all over the world too.


 
We chose this image (below) because it is a man with a hat that has the american flag on it , he is also eat africa. We chose this because countries that are wealthy just take control of countrie that aren't wealthy and they colonize and make that country adapt to the changes to the life style of the colonizing country

The globalisation song by year 10 students

Lyrcis to : the Globization song by year 10 students

In the first place it was
The Egyptians and Hittites
Fought for some land
Got into some fights

After Egypt lost
they both wanted to just stop
So they got together and created
The forst recored peace treaty
In 1258 B.C.

Then alog came,
The Assyrians, The persians,
And Alex the great
Everybody wanted Egypt

No one wanted to wait.
Then along came the Romans
To put out the fire

But before long was replaced
By the Byzantine Empire
Globalization has always been around

all throughout history its easily found
with the good times, and the bad times, and everything in between
On the international agenda
Globalization just routine

After Coloumbus went on over
to the New World, Europeans Conceptions
Were twisted and twirled, Some had believed
 that the earth was flat
And you can't get too far using logic like that,

Then Europe Began to Colonize,
At the the natives did not relise
That the motives of these people
Were not to nice

And because they trusted them,
They paid the price,

But the spanish are the people
You have to scold
They'd do anything to fill
Their lust for gold

But what alot of them did
Was, well, just plain evil
The spanish had caused Indigenous upheaval
Gold is what they wanted and gold id what they got

But morals were something i guess they forgot
up their sleeves they hid a ton of tricks
The spanish were idoits

Globalization's around today
and it certainly is not always ok
Globalization can be a good thing
But there's always negatives
That the concept will bring

Lumbus went to America
On the santa Maria
The new world thing gave people the idea
to try and discover as much as they could.

And the real question was not
CAN?? , SHOULD??,

So they left their homes and set up international missions
So they broke the rules
They had set for themselves
HYPOCRISY WORKED ARROGANCE SELLS
They manged to convince others and convert
But this assimilation made the other heritage hurt
Culture was lost as assimilation reigned
Indigenous cultures failed, the foreign ones gained
Which is essentially globalization's consquence

The poor will lose
and the rich get success
Globalization will always be here
People always want to pioneer
The concept is something that people adhere
Discovery is always an infinite frontier
It doesn't matter what be th year

There isn't a point in shedding a tear
I'm being blunt, i'm being sincere
As long as we live on this big ol' sphere
Ask the question and the answer's clear

Globalization will always be here!

Here i am, Hernan Cortes. And i'm gonna conquer some Aztecs
Where the Aztecs from? I'll find ' em in central America...
This is how i roll! gotta conquer, gotta get that gold...

Girl look at that hottie,

We're conquistadors, and this is how we won.
Beat the Aztecs and incas with our HORSE,AMOUR,GUNS,
and gave them our diseases cause we ain't afraid to show it,
show it, show it

We're Spanish and we know it...

I'm Franisco. Don't ya know? or i go by Pizarro...
Wanna kill Incas, find em west in south america...
Gold i will find, but these mountains make a player tired...
I'll do what i need, even make an aliiance with their enemies...

Girl look at that hottie,

Girl look at that hottie,

I can't wait to colonize By MCTreeHistory

I can't wait to colonize by MCTreeHistory

I heard that we can sail to get to asia and the east
We can settle new land make money thanks to prince Henry
I got my astrolabe to find my way by the stars, but wait...
My caravel's triangular sails are gonna take me far, so check me out...

I can't wait to colonize...
I can't wait.
I said i can't wait ti colonize...
I can't wait.

I'd take another chance, take a sail, by sea for you
I'd try to sail around Africa with Bartholomew Diaz...
Only made it half way, to the Cape of Good hope, but wait

Da Gama got to india, made money, and didn't choke. Now i'm ready...

I can't wait to colonize...
I can't wait.
I said i can't wait to colonize...
I can't wait.


I can't wait to colonize...
I can't wait.
I said i can't wait to colonize...
I can't wait.

Colonized mind by Prince

Lyrics to : Colonized mind by Prince

Upload the evolution principle
You see a rock on the shore and say
It's always been there
Download no responsibility
Do what you want, nobody cares

Upload, the master race idea
Genetically disposed to rule the world
Download a future full of isolated
Full of isolated, boys and girls

Upload the 2 party system
The lesser of 2 dangers, illusion of choice
Download their form of fascism
Nothing really ever changes
You never had a voice

Listen to me one time

If you look, you're sure gonna find
Throughout mankind's history
A colonized mind
The one in power makes law
Under which the colonized fall
Without God, it's just the blind leading the blind

Upload, a joint venture record deal
It's just another way another man can still sleep
While he's sticking you with the bill
Download, a temporary acquisition
Of fleeting fame and fortune
Nothing to leave in your will, hey, hey, hey, hey

Upload a child with no father
Download no respect for authority
Upload a child with no mother
Download a hard time showing love

If you look, you're sure gonna find
Throughout mankind's history
A colonized mind
The one in power makes law
Under which the colonized fall
Without God it's just the blind leading the blind

Songs to do with colonisation and Globalisation

I can't wait to colonise by mctreehistory
I'm Spanish and I know it by mctreehistory
Globalisation song by year 10 students
Colonize by Perfect world lyrics
Colonized mind by Prince

Colonisation by perfect future lyrics

Lyrics to the song  Colonization By Perfect World lyrics :
I want to remember everything
every sycamore and evergreen.
every insect swept up in currents floating past plates of glass
is a monument I didn't lament as I passed by.

it seems so easy for me to remain under roofs and believe
that cement and carpet have covered all the hills and even still
there is no place left for us.
what a lie.

abandoned buildings aren't half as empty as the lives they have left behind.
after settling on killing Able
where to from here?

so here's another parking lot for a new McDonald's,
that's three this town has got.
and if your town doesn't look exactly like mine, just give it time.
we'll cover the Earth with identical developments.

every suburban home with a tire swing, an above ground pool, and a picket fence.
the American Dream made manifest.
civilization at it's best.
every island colonized, culture neutralized.
they'll say everything worked out for the best in the end
but what will you say?

I want to remember everything
every sycamore and evergreen.

rationale

 

rationale

 
 Hi readers,
 
We are students in year 8 at a school in Australia. the purpose of us making this blog is to hopefully make people who read this aware of the worlds troubles ( pollution, importance of fresh water and countries that struggles and why they struggle, globalisation, colonisation).

A blog is a website where you can publish your knowledge,thoughts and opinion on anything you desire. With a blog you are online and so is anyone else in the world, also what comes along with a blog is followers or in other worlds believers of the meaning behind your blog.
 
The reason we are making this blog is because at school we are learning about these problems in class and we want to share our knowledge with the rest of the world. We have fellow class mates who are also making blogs to share the same issues with the knowledge they have. Blogs are a easy and great way to post your thoughts and knowledge to anyone who go on your blog.
 
 We have gone and researched Globalisation, importance of fresh water, Colonisation and the inequalities. We have evidence of these topics and events in history The Great War for The Plains , the battle of little bighorn , etc. The geographical side of our research has lead us to discover the importance of freshwater, climate change , etc. In the time to pass we will post up facts of the historical events we are studying.
 
We will also be posting the geographical problems water facts, how the landscape affected historical battles and outcomes of those battles.
 
so once again readers we are going to post up historical events and geographical difference also we will post up historical heros/tyrants and the effects of globalisation and colonisation. We would also like your advice and comments on our post, even if it is you asking us questions of historical or geographical background we can research it and put a post on it for you guys our readers.
