Problems fixing: Giver Community

A problem in my life is about the population. The population is growing and there are more and more people who are keep on having childs. Population is growing by numerous numbers and it has to be stopped some way. If there are too much population there would be more polution and not enough resources and space to live for everyone. For instance, population in China has  become a big problem. They had to stop that by making a very sad rule of having only 2 children. 

The solution they used in the Giver is to have babies adopt and give each familes certain amount of babies so the population will stop growing. It is like Gabriel, Jonas and Lily was adopted and given to their parent too. The children are given to their parents. Also every children gets a job and things like bicycle at the same time. For example, Jonas was picked as the reciever who recieves the memories from the giver keeps other people's memory.

The community used a good way and it is much better than the rule of China. But the bad thing is that the parents can't have their own baby. That's what I didn't like about this book. Parents can't have their real baby. The have to give their baby away and get others. That's what was so sad. The parents wouldn't have a baby that doesn't match anything with them. It would be really sad for me to have a adopted baby.

Textbook: Answering Review Questions from page 61

1. What methods and sources do historians use to learn about the past?

They use the primary sources that was left on that day like the Pliny's letter. Something that is real and existed on that day.

2. Is the map on page 39 a primary source or a secondary source? Why?

It is a secondary source because its a map that people in these days made instead of the people who made this map long time ago/It is because it was made by a person who studied the original sources.

3. Why do historians ask questions about their sources?

To determine how accurate and useful it is.

4. In ancient Rome fewer women than men left behind written sources. How might this have affected historians' knowledge of the history of Rome?

I think women didn't get as much as education as the men. Because I think in the old days the women were not very respected unlike men. Like in Korea, women didn't get a lot of education and just did housework at home in the old days. I think this affected the knowledge of historian by making them think that mens had more educations than the women.
