When I first heard about Simun, I was really not looking forward to it. Then when we were assigned the work pages to do, I didn’t want to even think about Simun. Then Simun came and my country was Japan another thing that didn’t please me about the Simun experience. In all honesty I didn’t like Simun, I think that it’s a good program for kids who are looking to do things like that or are looking for a career as to where you would need to be speaking. For me personally, I don’t think that this experience will ever come in handy in my life.
When It came down to it I think I did pretty well. The only reason I was speaking from day one though, is because my country was part of the scenario. I was forced to speak on my very first day of Simun. Considering it was my first day, I felt confident that I did well in defending my country and making sure no one went to war over any situations. On the second day of Simun, my country was thrown back out there, and brought up into the second scenario. Again, I wasn’t too happy that I had to speak, but I did it anyways so that I could receive a passing grade.
I wasn’t prepared for Simun, I thought I was because of all the work I did for Mrs.B. and all the assignments and research. When it came down to it though its more about being able to speak and thinking quick. The one day that she gave us a chance to practice the way it would really be in Simun, I didn’t do anything, because I thought that I was prepared. That was a big mistake because the next day when Simun was here, it hit me hard. Having to stand up and speak is one thing that I hate to do.
I actually don’t plan on staying in global Education. I only joined G.E. because my parents said it would look good on my college app. But I’ve recently realized I have to do things for me. I don’t like global education. I’m okay with the English class, but when it comes to the world events, not really my thing. If I were to stay in global education I would just practice speaking more, and try to get myself more involved with every scenario.

Taliban, pakistan

My country is Japan, and I believe that in this situation Japan would side with the U.S. Japan would Side with America for many reason's, to start a main reason is, Japan doesn't even have a military. NATO hasn't allowed for them to, so siding with the U.S. would benefit Japan. The Taliban is producing weapons, or are in possession of nuclear weapons, which can be used at any moment. That in itself is a huge problem. Having these types of weapons just floating around makes it unsafe for any country in the world that the Taliban may be against. Back in 2001 dealing with the September 11th bombing Japan sided with the U.S. when they were having to bomb in afghan before Taliban surrendered its hold on Kandahal. Japan's government made it clear that after the September bombings that they are for world peace and security. Having nuclear weapons going around, isn't quite secure. Although Japan may not have any country to country problems with Pakistan or previous problems with Taliban, they side with America and wouldn't want one of their allies to get bombed. As I stated before, Japan has no army or military, so being an Allie to the U.S. would get them involved, and force them to have to do something if Taliban were to target America in retaliation. Japan is also trying to clean up after their recent problems with their nuclear power plants containing uranium. If they were to side with Taliban on this issue they would being under close watch, which is one of the last things they want after having to put their power plants on hold to inspections. Japan and Britain working on reintegrating the Taliban foot soldiers, building up a fund that the U.S. is taking part in. Their working on building up money to get the soldiers jobs considering most of the men in the Taliban are only in it for the money considering the fact that their countries economy is very low at the moment with the war on terror.

Reality
In life most of us grow up hearing, that when you move out reality is much harder than you think, and that the real world isn’t always what it appears. Yet as we grow nearer to the day we leave our parents, we begin to question if their right; Most teens stay at home until they come of age and never get a chance to really live until they move out. Other’s take a chance and leave home; Hanging out with friends all day, doing what they want on their own terms, leaving their parents to sit in their comforting well rounded home’s never seeing what’s truly best for their children, and babying them until its turned their child into the complete opposite of what they had planned for. Even if it’s just for a short weekend, or a longer period of time when kids leave their parents they have some of the best times of their lives; These are the times when kids realize whether or not their ready for the real world, Their faced with it when they’re on their own, and some, are fit for it and ready to go into what we look at as ‘The Real World’. The independent ones who grew up having to do for themselves, tend to do better when it comes down to it.
Some kids grew up always living up to their parents standards and following rules; The strict boundaries that their parents sent for them. Moving out or running away is a big deal, for anyone and once your out either you can handle it or not. Me personally I can handle it. But I realized that running away isnt good because the cops get involved and that gets you absolutly no where.
