I had missed class on the first day of the video, but from what I saw on the second part I do not believe life was fair for the Native Americans. I understand that the nation was and still is at a constant growth, but the settlers do not have a right to invade and take over. We should have adapted to their culture and followed their rules as much as possible, without stealing their land for our own needs.

I think the video we watched was pretty eye opening. Often people detach themselves from a negative situation. In Maine many people know about what hapend with the native American's in other parts of the country, but fail to identify how we as a population treated native Americans locally. I personally know many people who live in Indian township when they talk about where they live and their tradition it is pretty fascinating. It is a shame that such an awesome group of people had their land stolen by people who felt like it was their privilege to take it when it was not.

I think that the video that we watched in class would be better understood if we realized that this was happening at a younger age. Why didn't I ever get thought this when we were studying the Indians. I think that America is worse off then I thought. We have taken land that is not ours and tried to tare appart families of indian descent. I am completely disgusted with what Maine did and believe that more people should get the facts straight when educating children.

Chapter 3- Epidemiology

Having a reporting system in place for that can warn others about certain diseases and outbreaks is a very important way to provide protection and information to our country. Having this makes us fell safe. Epidemiology is important because it allows us to study what is going on in regards to disease and injury. This allows for us to look at the origins of disease and injury and how to prevent it from happening in the future. Epidemiology is an interesting field that would be fun to explore more of. We all find that taking the epidemiology class would be a fun and interesting challenge!
