I was on my Igoogle account and I was reading a few issues and I came across one that got my attention. The paragraph of writing was about the Less Fortunate.

The Department of Social and Community Development and the Nata Village Trust are helping the less fortunate orphans and the needy with their school semesters. The less fortunate and the needy aren’t able to afford many things right now. They are able to attend school but they can’t afford food. The workers fed over 60 children and took the children to a shopping center and gave each child 100 United States dollars to buy new clothes for the starting of school.

This is an important topic because breakfast is the most important meal of the day which not many kids eat or parents can afford. They are feeding the children to try to get them good grades to succeed.

I think that it was a good idea to give breakfast for each child each morning. If they weren’t given food they probably wouldn’t be able to eat breakfast and get a good education and have a good day at school.
The Nata clinic are weighing children and making sure that each child is being taken good care of by their parents. The parents will take the child once a month to a weight station and weigh the child. The Government has being giving the parents a food basket and baby formula is the child is in good health.
The Nata clinic are weighing the children to see for good health, being fed well and, being taken good care of. The parents aren’t able to pay for the expense of the fees to buy foods, and to make sure their children are in good health.
I also think that this is a good idea because it’s always good to know if your in good health or if there is a problem with you’re body. Letting the Nata village know that the children are safe is also a good thing because they know who is not being fed and if their in good condition to do anything.
The Nata village and clinic are doing this to help out the community by being safe, and being healthy.

Copyright laws… I’m sure some of you have heard a little bit of it but do you know what it means? Copyright laws have been around for a while. It’s a basic rule that everyone should follow.

When you make a video, a song, (painting, art, sculpture, audio, book, music, etc…) any picture that you created once you put it up anywhere its yours and its called copyright. No one can take it with out asking permission or they can’t make money off of it (without you making profit). When you ask permission to use the work they have created they decide how you use it. Say if I make a picture and you ask me to borrow it I can say you can only use a small piece of  it and you pay me a certain amount and you can NOT make money off the work I have made. Imagine no law and you writing a whole novel and someone else going and taking all the credit and money. Think of all the problems this would cause in the world because one law wasn’t made.

Copyright lasts a very long time after the creator’s death which is 50 years.  After copyright is over it’s under public domain. Public domain means when the work you have created is no longer copy right and you’re aloud to take the creation and use it in any sort of way and not have to ask permission.  

Copy right doesn’t mean that you can’t touch any of the work the creator has made. There is another law called fair use. Fair use lets us take certain parts of the work but like again… you can’t make any money off of it. You can take a chapter of a book and use it but you can’t go and take the whole book. Fair use is basically the same for every creation. You can’t take a picture and go post it up somewhere and take all the credit for the picture. Another one would be movie previews on TV. When you see movie previews up for about ten seconds its because the creator is letting you see a sneak peek of a movie that is coming out. Some people like to create pictures, videos, paintings, etc… And let people take their creation because they want people to take some of their work and let it not be untouched and useless.

 That is called creative commons. For you to want your work to be noticed and parts of it taken you have to register your work. I think Creative commons is a smart idea because many people might want parts of their work taken.
