Why do those limitations exist?
They exist because to possibly prevent some what chaos. They are also limits because certain things can be considered offensive. Saying racist comments may make people wanna fight, and provoke them to do other things, things like that can be offensive

If you had to give up this right, what would you want in return?
I would never want to give up this right, because i feel that it is very good to say what you want when you want. I like to express myself
Why does your right exist?
I believe it exist because, people would like to express themselves and speak upon what they feel and believe in. It also exist because if they were limits upon what people could and couldn't say, many things would probly be left unsaid and untold. The only limits I feel we have is , probably certain things we can and cant say in public.

Middle East Conflict Questions
How did your country get involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East?
In 1956 Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, which made Israel invade the Sinai Peninsula (triangular peninsula in egypt).
(http://geography.howstuffworks.com/terms-and-associations/middle-east5.htm)
(http://www.leeabbamonte.com/africa/the-sinai-peninsula.html)
What is the history of your country's involvement in that conflict, from when it entered until
now? (This will likely be a long answer...)
Egypt was officially involved in the conflict in 1956, this conflict lasted for 6 days June 5th-10th 1956. For 25 years, Egyptian-Israeli relations have been characterized by tension. Today, their relationship not only reflects the past, but also competitive outlooks on how Middle East nations and peoples might relate to one another. In Egypts eyes Israel took too long to return all captured territories from the 1967 war. In the eyes of the Israeli, Egypt has been too slow to improve relations and has discouraged other Arab states from doing so.
(http://meria.idc.ac.il/journal/1997/issue3/jv1n3a5.html)
Who are your enemies in the Middle East? Why?
92 percent of Egyptians see Israel as an enemy nation. A poll took by an Egyptian state institute determined that Israel and Denmark were not only the least poplar foreign countries among the Egyptian public, but that they were also considered enemy nations, because they felt israel took too long to return territories that were captured during the war.
(http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3322428,00.html)
Who are your friends in the Middle East? Why?
Israel is now the allies of Egypt after they signed a peace treaty in 1979. However, they were not always allies. In 1967 Egypt and Israel went into a 6-day war. In 1956, Israel, along with other countries, invaded Egypt.
(http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_are_Egypt)
What does your country want out of the Arab-Israeli conflict?
Egypt wanted the territory that was captured by israel back, and also wanted them to stop attacking them.
What is it prepared to give up to get what it wants?
What will it not give up to get what it wants?
Egypt refused to give up more territory than what was already taken, and they refused to give up the sinai penninsula

Reflection Post Questions
What did you learn?
I learned that people today, in the 2000 era, still show the looks of a flapper from the 1920's.
What was your research question?
Are there similarities in the way that people dress today to the ways of the flapper?
What was the answer to your research question?
Yes. The flapper showed a sense of style that involved skimpy clothing, showing alot of skin. People today still where skimpy clothing, showing an excessive amount of skin.
Did your final product answer that question?
Yes. My final project displayed a sense of style from both era's. So i actually got to see both swagger and the flapper on one big movie.
How?
I had a visual view, showing how the flapper and people in our era look alike w/ make-up and short clothing.
What did you do well on the project?
I believe i put all of the information together well, and showed clearly how the style of the flapper still exist.
What could you have improved on the project?
I believe i could have added more information about some of the pictures telling how they were similar to the ways of the flapper or how the flapper was similar to the 2000's era.
What would you change about what you did on the project?
I would change the way i focused on it. In the beginning i wasn't too worried about it, or committed to it, so on spare time instead of doing what i wanted i would have to spend that time working
What would you change about the assignment itself?
It could be as simple as possible, and able to fit the way you wanted to work, because you picked the topic and what you actually wanted to do
What grade do you think you deserve on the project? Why?
I think i atleast deserve a b+ or a-, because overall, i had alot of problems with my work being deleted and lost, so i would have to constantly start over and have alot of catching up to do on the daily basis. Overall i managed to complete a good project, that i was very intrested in, and was also able to present it to many people.
