World Affairs 1 Wikia

## **Welcome to the Wiki**

Hello QJA, and welcome to
your World Affairs 1 wiki page. This space is here for you to collaborate and
share each other's ideas. You can update anything you like here as long as it
is legal (and relevant!). If you find something interesting online, please
reference it and copy and paste the URL.

Please feel free to change the format of the
page, add sections etc. and don't worry if you make mistakes, it is easy for me
to go back to previous versions. However, please be mindful of other students'
work, and don't delete it when you are uploading your own ideas! The beauty of
wiki pages is you build knowledge about a subject together. Take the time to
read your colleagues' ideas, and add to them. If you spot spelling or
grammatical errors, change them if you can.

I will not be uploading information onto the
wiki, but will send you suggestions from time to time in the messages section
at the bottom of the page. Taking part in the wiki is not compulsory, but you
will be allowed to access it in the final exam, so the more you work on the
wiki, the easier the exam will be. However, students who make no or very limited contributions to the wiki may not be
allowed access during the final exam, as it is unfair for them to benefit from
the work of others if they don't do anything themselves.

Some of you may find it difficult to speak
out in World Affairs because of the challenging subject matter, and the wiki is a
chance for you to express your opinion and demonstrate your understanding.
Think of the wiki as an extension to the classroom in which you can contribute
at any time. Active participation on the wiki will positively affect your class
participation grade: contributions online and in class are equally valuable.
However, if you prefer
working completely independently, and do not wish to participate online, that
is still your choice.

You can send messages to
me on the Wiki anytime if you have any questions or concerns. I hope you find
using the wiki rewarding, good luck!

## Topics

Over the course of the semester we will be discussing a variety of topics and reading articles that relate to global and domestic issues. The most central and recurrent theme we will learn about is globalisation. (I have made a basic Globalisation page for you to edit). Other topics will include **immigration, terrorism, free speech and the press, state sovereignty and the constitution, and issues of gender equality**. Don't worry if you do not know much about these subjects yet, we will have plenty of time over the semester to read up on them and share our ideas.
Teoria Nightmare Bonniego

Teoria mówi, iż Nightmare Bonnie to tak na prawdę mix wszystkich rodzai 'Bonniaczy'. W FNaF'ie 4 widzimy że Bonnie powrócił tylko jest ciemno niebieski. Być może Purple Guy użył stroju Bonnie'go, Springtrapa oraz Toy Bonnie'go i połączył je w całość, tworząc potwora, którego widzimy w FNaF 4.Jack-O-Bonnie nie jest połączony z mixem Bonniaczy.

## Dowody

* Zęby bardzo podobne do Springtrapa, niebieski kolor jak Toy Bonnie i kształt jak 'normalnego' Bonnie'go.
* N.Bonnie i Bonnie z FNaF 1 mają taki sam kolor oczu, muszki. Jego uszy zginają się tak samo, jak uszy zwykłego Bonnie'ego z części 2.
* Większość ubytków w jego kostiumie jest w tym samym miejscu co ubytki w kostiumie Springtrapa.
* N.Bonnie ma taką samą pozę w extra jak Shadow Bonnie w biurze.Springtrap też.
Czy Steven Universe programuje widzów

Witajcie, tutaj sami-wiecie-kto :D

## Psychologia

Dziecko w pierwszych miesiącach, a także latach życia jest bardzo podatne na różne wzorce, bodźce oraz zachowania, które jego mózg wchłania, jak gąbka. Dlatego też ważne jest, aby nie wystawiać takiego 4 lub 5 latka na szkodliwe treści, na przykład dziecko, które w wieku przedszkolnym obejrzy horror "Piątek 13" zakoduje sobie w mózgu, że ten oto dzień jest czymś złym.

## Przekazy

**Steven Universe** to kreskówka o chłopcu, którym opiekują się trzej kosmici, zwani klejnotami. Są to człowiekopodobne humanoidy, przypominające kobiety. Zacznijmy od początku - wszystkie trzy kobiety są lesbijkami. Tak. Lesbijkami, w kreskówce kierowanej dla dzieci. Ja jestem absolutnie oburzony faktem, iż postacie homoseksualne są przedstawiane, jako postacie pozytywne, ale o tym później. Tak, jak wcześniej powiedziałem, mózg dziecka jest bardzo podatny na sugestie. W Stevenie postacie homoseksualne są ukazane, jako szlachetne, potężne, przeżywające niesamowite przygody - zaś postacie heteroseksualne, jako zwykli ludzie. Nie jest to wpychane do gardła oglądającemu, nie. Dzieje się zupełnie inaczej - wątki homoseksualne są przekazywane bardzo podprogowo, przez ruch postaci, ich gesty wobec innych oraz zachowanie. Oglądające to małe lub nieco starsze dziecko, które nadal jest podatne na sugestie dostanie do mózgu następującą wiadomość: "Homoseksualizm jest piękny i społecznie akceptowalny". I niezaskakująco - to się sprawdza. To się naprawdę sprawdza! Ludzie, którzy oglądali Steven Universe są znani z bycia najczęściej aktywistami na rzecz osób LGBT, lub sami twierdzą, że "w czoko jest spoko". I czy mogę nie komentować słów angielskiej wersji piosenki "I dlatego wygram"?

## Co sam sądzę o kreskówce

Nie lubię jej, i tyle. Być może powinienem dać jej ostatnią szansę, i oryginalnie to planowałem. No, dopóki nie dowiedziałem się o tym że podprogowo być może zrobi nam pokolenie ludzi obsesyjnie zainteresowanych homoseksualizmem. Pozdrawiam.

## Dopisek nie od autora

Autor skarżył się, że za tą teorię odgrażano się mu i jego rodzinie. I to akurat prawda, na własne oczy widziałem te komentarze na jego kanale na YouTube, ale je usunął. Więc sami sobie odpowiedzcie - gdzie jest ta tolerancja której Steven rzekomo "uczy"? Już nie wspomnę o wyzywaniu autora tutaj w komentarzach xDDDD.

## Przykład hipokryzji (żeby nie było)

Finland was the EU’s number one nanny state in 2016. It has a range of food and drink taxes, an effective ban on e-cigarette sales and extremely high taxes on beer, wine and spirits.

Alcohol prohibition ended in Finland in 1932 but the government continues to regulate alcohol very heavily. Spirits advertising is banned in all forms and restrictions on beer and wine advertising are severe, with a ban before 10pm on television and a near total outdoor ban. It has the EU’s highest beer tax, the second highest spirits tax, and the third highest wine duty. Discount promotions such as happy hours are banned outright.

Tobacco regulation is also heavy. In addition to a total ban on tobacco advertising, cigarettes cannot be sold from vending machines. There are few exemptions from its smoking ban which includes some outdoor areas.
Ashanti & Clare

* Ashanti
* Clare

Ashanti and Clare are minor characters in Mal and Chad.

## About

Ashanti & Clare were girls who Mal wanted to join his club. Of course, they refused. Mal found them hanging out on a brick wall, and got an idea that if they joined, Megan would want to join. Both of them seemed disgusted that Mal asked them. When he turned, they told him not to wear his "robe".

Both girls appeared in Belly Flop at Megan's party, but gave no dialogue.
Patriotism

## Arguments Against Patriotism

**1.Strong feelings of patriotism makes war more likely.**

In the book War, Its Causes and Correlates, authors Martin A. Nettleship, Dale Givens, and Walter de Gruyter show a correlation between strong feelings of patriotism in a population and the likelihood of war. ※❶

**2.It could encourage unjustified hatred**

2013 study at the University of Texas at Arlington found a definite correlation between patriotism or nationalism and negative feelings toward Latino immigrants.

**3.Patriotism makes rights violations acceptable**

 Patriotic mythology and flags convince people that a country is more than an ambiguous concept, and that this supposedly real entity must be loved and protected even at the expense of hurting other people. In North Korea, citizens in detention centers are beaten for forgetting the words to patriotic songs.

**4, It is expensive**

Governments encourage patriotism, and the ways in which they do that can cost taxpayers heavily. For example, the Navy’s Blue Angels shows amazes crowds, arousing feelings of pride in country—but they eat up about $40 million each year.

**5,Patriotic feelings encourage atrocities**

When a patriot feels that a government or organization represents his patriotic intent, he follows orders, even when that means doing horrible things.

※❶Propaganda used during WWⅠ

### Patriotism In Schools

**British Example**

In 2008,  academics at the Institute of Education at London University said pupils should not be encouraged to love Britain for its "morally ambiguous" history. The researchers questioned more than 300 teachers in London secondary schools and pupils aged 13 to 14.Three quarters of the teachers said they had an obligation to alert their pupils to the dangers of patriotic sentiments. Only nine per cent of teachers said they believed that schools should promote patriotism. Michael Hand, who made the report supported the idea that patriotism should be taught as a controversial issue by stating that "Loving things can be bad for us, for example when the things we love are morally corrupt. Since all national histories are at best morally ambiguous, it's an open question whether citizens should love their countries."

**Chinese Example**

Almost a year ago, China issued a new directive, in which it is calling for an improved system of “Patriotic Education” in its schools. This plan — which is part of President Xi Jinping’s “China Dream” for national revival — focuses on creating in-classroom curricula that work to “guide youthful students to establish and maintain correct views of history, the nation, state, and culture” in addition to helping “constantly enhance their sense of belonging to the Chinese nation.” College-age student will be inoculated against liberal stance and will be taught to always follow the party. This will be achieved by making teacher to highlight China's virtues while hiding its questionable past.

Globalisation

Globalization is the understanding and evolving of tradition and economy.

## Globalisation is ...

* growing connection between people in different countries
* growth of free markets and trade
* international communication
* movement of people (immigration)
* sharing of customs and cultures
* becoming more interconnected with each other

## How is globalisation good?

* Technological development is vital and helps connect people.
* You can buy cheaper products. (Larger market creates competition)
* It promotes specialization. Experts start making particular things.
* It improves political links as well as social and cultural understanding.
* Buying products from other nation gives more choice of goods and service.

## How is globalisation bad?

1. Loss of national identity with the influence of other nation-states: food, traditions, language, religion, and entertainment.
2. Huge companies produce mass amounts of products thus undercutting local companies and driving them out of business.
3. The gap or the difference between developed countries and developing countries lead to an exploitation like heavy labor with cheap wages.

## Problems of globalization

1. the gap between rich and poor
2. Exploitation
3. Outsourcing
4. Lack of accountability

## Supporters of globalization argue...

-Global culture: we share a common culture and the world is becoming homogenous

-Think globally and act locally

-Rapid economic transformation - so fast it has created a new form of politics

-Communications: technology brings up closer together, social groups have changed, difference sense of community

- time and speed: physical connection is not important any longer

-Global policy: traditionally we support our country, now we are more loyal to other groups

## Critics of globalization argue...

-It's a myth

-International issues : air pollution, radiation, terrorism

-The word 'globalization' is just another word for 'capitalism'

-No historical depth: difficult to describe trends while they are happening, culture trends may be reversed, we always think 'now' is unusual more it is

-Uneven effects: globalization is only relevant to developed world

-New imperialism

-Companies not really international

-Economy is not so free

-International economy?: trade was more open in the past

## Key Terms

1. Cultural Erosion - loss of national identity.
2. Outsourcing - when a country produces it products in a different country to reduce the use of financial resources.
3. Interdependence - when people start depending on one another like in a symbiotic relationship.

Terrorism and Free Speech

## State of emergency 緊急事態

A (local or national) government may declare that an area is in a state of emergency. This means that the government can suspend and/or change some functions of the *executive* (**行政府**), the *legislative* (**立法**) and/or the *judiciary* (**司法**) during the period of time.

This also allows the authorities to set *curfews* (**外出禁止令**) and limit the movement of people; such as setting secure zones where people can be monitored; and, forbid mass gatherings.

Security service and police: receives the right to make house searches at anytime without judicial oversight, enforce house arrest and confiscate certain classes of weapon.

## What is the role of the press?

**The purpose of the press** is to keep in public spotlight every deliberation and decision that the government makes, since everything the government does is to be done on the **people’s behalf**. Any proposed action or change by the government must be researched and examined in detail, with conversation and debate promoted around areas of import.

Members of the public cannot sit still and be passive participants of their state, but must, for the state to be a **democracy**, take an active role in asserting their will. **The role of the press** is to support this in two ways:

**1)** to inform the public on what is being discussed, and the background to what is being discussed, and

**2)** to promote conversation and debate around political issues so that no change or action may go through unnoticed, for such things, not being approved by the public, cannot with any certainty represent the will of the public.

For a democracy to be a **true democracy**, the people must be active participants in political discourse, and for this to happen, **the press itself must be an active agent** that brings this about.

The **Construction Area** is the second world in *Drilling Billy*. It follows Deep Jungle and precedes Dark Cave. When time runs out, a wrecking ball follows Billy around and drops down from above. The Construction Area is unique for its elevators, which Billy can ride up and down.

## Publisher's description

The next thing Billy knows is that standing in a very lively construction area can be pretty rough. The tools aren't exactly helping him and he has to manage only using what's lying around. However, he has the advantage of being the only one able to operate the lifts. This he'll have to learn very very well as well as avoiding the mad crane driver who's trying to make Billy leave the area by swinging the destruction ball making holes right where little Billy is standing.

Gusteko

O **Reino Sagrado de Gusteko** (グステコ聖王国), chamado simplificadamente de **Gusteko** (グステコ), é um país localizado ao norte de Lugnica.

## Informação

É uma teocracia atualmente governada por um príncipe louco. Como está localizada no norte, Gusteko tem um clima frio e montanhas perigosas, que são um ambiente muito difícil para as pessoas e os animais viverem. Por causa da queda de neve eterna, apenas as culturas tolerantes ao frio podem ser plantadas. Em vez de criação de animais, existem muitas montanhas nas montanhas íngremes com minério mágico, contando com a indústria de mineração e lidando com minério mágico para manter a força nacional. Os espíritos são muito mais comuns em Gusteko do que em qualquer outro país e, portanto, a reverência dos espíritos tornou-se incorporada aos ensinamentos nacionais da igreja em Gusteko.

O governante de Gusteko tem o nome de **Rei Sagrado** e é escolhido durante uma eleição por Odglass. É mencionado que raça, sangue e origem não importam para os candidatos a se tornarem o Rei Sagrado.

Uma organização assassina liderada por uma pessoa conhecida apenas como Mama também está sediada no país.

## História

Como fundador de Gusteko, Odglass criou um contrato com uma pessoa chamada Rei Sagrado, e agora Odglass está associado à eleição, tendo também o direito de escolher quem será o próximo Rei Sagrado de Gusteko.

Muitos anos atrás, após a criação do pacto com Farsale Lugnica e Volcanica, os shamans se mudaram para Gusteko de todo o continente. Eles eram famosos por matar pessoas com vários feitiços conhecidos como **Maldição** (呪い),no entanto, essas são apenas uma subclasse de usuários de artes mágicas e espirituais do lugar.

## Localizações

**Rio Albis** (アルビス河 *Arubisu Kawa*): Um rio que se origina de Kararagi e é uma pequena parte localizada no oeste de Gusteko.

**Pardochia** (パルドキア): Uma montanha onde um dos quatro grandes espíritos, Odglass, reside.
Beep

Beep is a robot character in Mal and Chad that was activated during a thunderstorm.

## Other Information

### Occupation

Robot

Beep was created by Mal but unfinished. Beep was activated when lightning struck their tree house during a thunderstorm. Unable to find him, Mal was concerned since Beep was still missing one piece, which was a heart.

Once they found him, they were afraid that Beep might have been a killer robot. Just as they find a newly-built tree house, Beep reappears again and grabs both Mal and Chad. They thought they were about to die but soon realized that Beep was just giving them a hug. Mal also believed that Beep went to all of the trouble to re-build the tree house just to show he was a good robot.
Regulus Corneas/Relacionamentos

## Pandora

Pandora convenceu Regulus a acompanhá-la para atacar a Floresta de Elior ao lado dela. Além disso, Regulus via Pandora como um membro de alto escalão do Culto das Bruxas, referindo-se a ela com "sama". Mas não importava o quão imenso era seu respeito por ela, Regulus estava mais do que disposto a despedaçá-la quando ela pediu a ele para poupar a vida de Petelgeuse.

## Betelgeuse Romanée-Conti

Regulus conhecia bem Petelgeuse, pois ambos foram membros do Culto da Bruxa e Arcebispos do Pecado por boa parte de um século. Regulus sentia nada além de desprezo e antipatia por Betelgeuse, referindo-se a ele como "abominável" e "escória" em muitas ocasiões. Betelgeuse confiou a Regulus para não trazer Pandora para a Floresta de Elior, mas ele traiu a ele e à vila dos elfos. Quando Betelgeuse analisou os Fatores Bruxos da Preguiça, Regulus zombou de sua incompatibilidade com os Fatores Bruxos e expressou sua repulsa por seu estado lamentável, pouco antes de a batalha começar. Durante a luta, é revelado que Regulus desprezou o fato de Betelgeuse ser considerado o líder do Culto das Bruxas, já que ele deveria ter sido o encarregado de um assento tão importante.

## Ray Batenkaitos

Ray e Regulus cercaram a caravana de Crusch e Rem no interlúdio do Arco 3. Enquanto Regulus atrasava Rem e Crusch, Ray cuidou dos cavaleiros que acompanhavam a caravana. Ambos expressaram antipatia um pelo outro, como visto quando Regulus repreendeu a fome incontrolável de Ray, e o último retrucou, dizendo "eles odeiam dar palestras e não se importam com as visões e ideais de Regulus". Dito isso, eles não eram hostis entre si, apesar do fato bem conhecido de Arcebispos do pecado lutando entre si.

## Sirius

O relacionamento de Regulus e Sirius era extremamente hostil. Regulus expressou profundo desgosto por seu amor unilateral por Betelgeuse, chegando a chamá-la de escória inútil e um ser imperfeito e não hesitou em tentar matá-la.

## Natsuki Subaru

Subaru o confrontou durante seu casamento com Emilia em Priestella, que levou a uma batalha na qual Reinhard se juntou e concluiu com a morte de Regulus. No entanto, Regulus e Subaru começaram com uma nota bastante respeitosa, mas logo começaram a se ressentir fortemente; A antipatia de Subaru resultou do sequestro de Emilia por Regulus, enquanto Regulus culpava a tagarelice de Subaru e desconsiderava suas opiniões, o que, para ele, significava que Subaru estava menosprezando seus direitos, portanto ele sentiu que deveria ter sido punido de acordo.

## Fortuna

Regulus veio para a Floresta Elior para se casar à força com Fortuna, no entanto, após ver a atitude dela em relação a ele e Pandora, ele rapidamente abandonou a ideia e decidiu transformá-la em carne picada; o que ele teria feito não fosse por Pandora remover sua presença da floresta.
Bean Argyle

**Bean Argyle**  é o pai de Felix Argyle e Patriarca da casa Argyle durante sua vida.

## Aparência

Bean é um homem com um grande porte físico e possuí uma barba grande. Nos seus últimos anos de vida, ele definhou um pouco devido ao estresse de ter vários de seus privilégios de nobre removidos após Crusch retirar seu Filho de sua tutela e confinamento forçado.

## Personalidade

Bean é um homem mesquinho e que se importa mais com seus objetivos e reputação do que com os outros.

Mais tarde, quando este começou a perder sua posição e privilégios da nobreza, ele demonstrou sinais de insanidade, tendo surtos de emoções violentas repentinas quando pessoas mencionavam Felix ou detalhes ruins sobre sua família, além de se machucar e curar simultaneamente sem notar. Mesmo tendo sido ele junto de sua esposa que decidiram trancafiar Felix ainda jovem após a possível infidelidade no casamento de Bean e a senhora Argyle, ele chamava Felix de meu filho com orgulho por ter superado o pai em manipulação de feitiços de Água.

## História

### Passado

Rumores ruins circulavam nos arredores da mansão Argyle, dizendo que Bean e Hannah teriam trancado seu primogênito como um prisioneiro após suspeitas de infidelidades no casamento de ambos. Ouvindo esses rumores, Crusch Karsten ainda criança visita a mansão dos Argyles e liberta Felix Argyle de seu confinamento. Bean é visto pela primeira vez junto de sua esposa por um Jovem Felix recém libertado, em um acesso de fúria Felix tenta cravar uma faca nos pais que o trataram como um estorvo mas falha devido a intervenção de Crusch.

Passado anos após Felix ser libertado e tirado da guarda da família Argyle pelos maltratos, Rumores ruins circulam novamente que a casa Argyle, agora em ruínas devido a má reputação, está se envolvendo em negócios de escravidão. Crusch visita a família Argyle secretamente sem alertar Felix Argyle que iria confrontar sua antiga família e descobre que Bean está fazendo negócios com um mercador de escravos chamado Miles. Bean intoxica Crusch com um gás que a faz dormir e a prende no porão. Bean tem o objetivo de atrair Felix seu único filho para a mansão em esperança de realizar um feitiço de ressureição em sua esposa. Tendo Crusch como Refém, Bean consegue fazer Felix retornar a mansão como planejado para ódio de Felix. Na mansão Felix nota que foi possivelmente o próprio pai quem matou sua mãe em um acesso de fúria, mas pressionado por Crusch ter sido feita de refém e a insanidade atual aparente de seu pai ele realiza o ritual conforme o pai ordena. O Feitiço funciona parcialmente e sua mãe levanta brevemente, mas por razões desconhecidas o corpo da mãe enforca Bean, sorri para Felix uma última vez e se desintegra completamente após ter matado o marido.

Ram/Relacionamentos

## Rem

Como último membro sobrevivente da família de Ram, Ram se preocupa muito com sua irmã gêmea. Mesmo quando criança, Ram sempre a encorajava sempre que ela se sentia inferior ou deprimida. Quando Rem morreu em um dos loops de Subaru, Ram ficou furiosa, perseguindo Subaru inflexivelmente por suspeitar que ele estava envolvido com a morte de Rem. No entanto, depois que a existência de Rem foi temporariamente apagada pela Autoridade da Gula, Ram se esqueceu completamente de sua irmã e não se sentiu incomodada por ela entrar em coma. Ram desenvolve alguns de seus cuidados anteriores por Rem, entretanto.

Al
--

Ram tem algum tipo de passado com Al, já que sua atitude normalmente despreocupada mudou quando ele soube que ela ainda estava viva.

## Roswaal L Mathers

Roswaal é o senhor da mansão onde trabalha. De acordo com Roswaal, Ram e Rem são importantes para ele, o que é verdade quando Rem morreu, ele culpou Subaru. No início Ram odiava Roswaal a ponto de ela querer matá-lo, no entanto, com o tempo, ela desenvolveu a romântica síndrome de estocolmo em relação a Roswaal e agora é tão leal que estaria disposta a dar sua vida por ele.

Na verdade, Roswaal salvou Ram e Rem e os levou sob seu teto para que pudessem ajudá-lo a realizar seu objetivo de matar o dragão; usando o chifre de sua irmã, Ram poderia atingir aproximadamente o mesmo potencial que ela tinha com seu chifre, o que lhe permitiria lutar contra o Divino Dragão Volcanica.

No entanto, é mostrado que ele está emocionalmente ligado a ela, assim como no IF da ira, quando Ram desaparece, Roswaal cai em um estado de desespero e se sente incompleto sem ela.

## Natsuki Subaru

Embora sejam amigos, há momentos em que Ram é direta e sentimentalmente fria com Subaru, às vezes até ficando com raiva dele. No entanto, ela também está disposta a ajudá-lo quando ele precisar, como quando eles lutaram contra as bestas demoníacas ou quando ela o ensinou a ler e escrever. Ram frequentemente descreve Subaru como um "homem com bom senso".

## Emilia

Embora Ram não se socialize muito com Emilia, elas têm respeito mútuo, mesmo que Ram pense às vezes que Emilia pode não ser confiável. Com o passar do tempo, Ram começa a desenvolver mais respeito e confiança por Emilia, apesar de suas deficiências.
