Support 2: The theory of creation vs. big bang. The origin of the universe is not clear, so humans create their own explanations. It all happened a really long time ago...so no assumption is accurate. The most concrete theory is the big bang. However, some people go with the theory of creation and how god created everything in 7 days. Neither if the two is right or wrong. Because all truth is relative.

Topic: There are no absolute distinctions between what is true and what is false.
Opinion: Some things in the world just cant be proven to be true, but that doesnt meant that they are false.
Support 1:
Just because it cant be proven clearly that aliens dont exist means that they dont exist. it would be extremely arrogant for human beings to think they are alone in the universe. Just as at the same time, someone saying they dont exist is equally right because it still isnt proven. Both sides are right, and one doesnt diminish the other.

The War on Terror
After the incident in World Trade Center, President George W. Bush declared a war on terror. Troops were sent to Iraq in an attempt to put an end to terrorism. However, it was all pointless. American soldiers died for foolish reasons, they were doing nothing out there. Also the poor innocent civilians in Iraq suffered greatly. And what did the U.S. get out of this? A huge loss in mainatining the army out there, and a great loss of American lives. Was it really a war on terror or where there other hidden motives? Bush´s reasons to send the soldiers out there are not motive enoguh to have caused that war.

Porfirio Diaz was a dictator in Mexico. He wanted to improve Mexico´s economic problems at all cost. However, even though he DID improve Mexico´s economy greatly, lifestlye and wages remained the same. For example, people who worked in mines earned the same 37 cents they earned even before earning their independence. Peasants had no land and everything was in hands of the elite and of foreign investors. The people in Mexico were starving, even when the economy was improving. This is extremely ironic, since Porfirio Diaz´s way of reasoning and to imrpove the coutry did not include it´s people.

Josef Stalin was a leader in Russia, who greatly believed that the end justifies the means. He believed he was doing everything for the greater good. Yes, he led Russia into becoming a world power, but all of this came at a great price. Millions of Russians were sent to concentration camps where they were literally worked to death. Stalin simply stated: ´´A single death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.´´This is utterly unbeievable, but some people just don´t know the collateral damage their actions might cause.

A Spanish arquitect, a disciple of Gaudi. He helped in the construction of La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. The name is from Catalunya, a province in Spain where only Catalan is spoken.
My parent's reason for choosing Victoria:
They really did not knowhow to name me. My older brother Mauricio started calling me Victoria out of nowhere, and my parents liked it, so they decided to name me that way. Also, it was the name of Queen Victoria of England. My mom always said: ''You have the name of two queens of England, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabteh.'' I like those two names, and the way in which they go together. My parents were happy with their decision, though my dad wanted to name me Arianna. My mom resufes because it sounded like saying spider, and she said kids would make fun of me. So, they finally decided on Victoria.
