This is an assignment that me and my class are doing. We are researching Ethical Giving charities. Here is a link to the assignment: Ethical Giving.
Enjoy!
If I had $100 I would spend most of my money on gifts from World Vision. From there I would get 2 hens and a rooster for $50 because the hens can lay eggs and the rooster can fertilize them until the people have enough chickens to get all the eggs they need from them, Antibiotics for 10 children for $30, I got this because it saddens me to think that children die from infections because they don't have antibiotics.
The $20 I have left I spent on mosquito nets from Oxfam so that babies or people do not get malaria.
I spent my $100 on what I feel is nessecary for a person in need to have.

Behind my name
Hi my name is Tyler Hawke. On this blog post you will get to know what my first name stands for. Behind My Name Assignment: Tyler Hawke
Before this assignment I thought my name was just plain Tyler, because I thought a name was just a name. I didn't know names had meanings and reasons for it.
After searching on Behind My Name, I learned that my name means a tiler, which is a person who puts tiles on floors or on roofs.
Another interesting fact I learned was that the surname Tyler was borne by American president John Tyler in the late 1700's.
I think my name doesn't fit me because the meaning of it (tiler). I know nothing about tiles or anything, I have no idea why my parents would have given me this name.
If I could give myself a new name it would be, Lythwain, because it was a name that my adoptive dad would have named me when he adopted me, I have grown used to the name and now wish that I had the name, Lythwain.

Why Plagiarism on the Internet is wrong
Plagiarism is wrong because you're stealing ideas or words that are not yours it's like being dishonest.When you plagiarize you are showing that you don't care that you are depriving someone else of their work and that you cannot be trusted. You are taking the credit and the responsibility of that idea and work that you did not do. When someone does plagiarism on the Internet it shows that the person is too lazy to go and do the work himself/herself. When someone plagiarizes he or she can be called a plagiarist. When someone plagiarizes, the plagiarist, can be fined a minimum fee of $2,500 to the maximum fee of $250,000 in fines or 10 years in jail. Why plagiarize and deny yourself the ability to learn yourself for your later careers and risk paying a fee of $2,500-$250,000 in fees or risk going to jail for 10 years, this will all go on your Criminal Record which when you apply for a job the supervisor that is interviewing you will look at your job application and your Criminal Record to see if you have been in jail or have done anything illegal. By doing something illegal you are making your life worse and miserable because it will be harder to find a job.
These are some facts that I have researched and are putting out there so that all that reads this will know why plagiarism is wrong and that they should not become a plagiarist. I hope this will helped and that you will make sure that you do the right thing.
