The Role Of Government

The role of the parliament are:

1. They decide how tax money is spent

2. They make new laws/Make amendments to previous/old laws

3. They represent the people

These three jobs help control chaos and help educate kids by helping supply schools.

                            If I were in parliament how would I spend the ta money?

I would spend the tax money usefully. I would use it on making things safe for us people. Spend it on schools for kids to learn and even spend it on companies that aren't as big as McDonald's or Nike so that people that don't get paid enough could get money to help provide for their families or themselves. I would help build more houses for the homeless.

Cybersmart

Being Cybersmart

Being cybersmart means to be smart online. For example you see something online that you don’t like has posted, so you go and comment something idiotic or not nice. That is not being cybersmart. If you see something that someone you don’t like has posted and you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all. It is always important to be cybersmart no matter what, because it  could affect your future life. For example when you post something stupid or being racist online. You could go for a job interview and they look up your name and see how idiotic you were online. You could lose your job. So leave a positive digital footprint.

             What I Learnt About Being Cybersmart

Through the past few weeks our teacher (Miss Paketama) has taught us about cybersmart I have learnt a lot of Things. I learnt:

1. Not being cybersmart online could affect your future life
2. Being cybersmart can save your life
3. Being cybersmart can leave/save you with a good reputation

I also learnt that being cybersmart online is way on not to hurt people because the outcome could be bad. I can apply these things to my life just in case I do something online that is immature or not right then I can think about these things and it’ll help me do the right thing.

What You Can Do To Help Yourself If You Are Getting Bullied

If you are a person that is getting bullied there are many reasons on how to deal with it, instead of letting it happen or fighting them. I can:

1. Talk to the bully & sort things out with that person
2. You can report the bully
3. Or tell a teacher or someone mature enough to handle it

There are many ways on helping yourself instead of retaliating or getting into a fight because that could go very bad because you will get hurt or the other person will or you could get suspended. It could happen either way so be the bigger person or be mature enough to handle it either by talking to the bully, reporting them or telling someone (teacher or adult).

How To Help Your Friend If They Are Being Bullied

When your friend is being bullied you’ll be angry and would want to beat the bully up, but that could lead to some bad consequences. You could help your friend by talking to them, go with them to tell a teacher or adult, talk to the bully, give them good advice or even try and get them to go to the counsellor or social worker. This way you won’t get into a bad situation.

How To Help The Bully Stop

It’s a choice to be a bully and you can stop being a bully. A person could be a bully because they have family issues, no friends, they could have been bullied in their family therefore he/she takes their anger out on other people or the person could bully people because it makes him/her feel big/strong. Sometimes it takes time and sometimes it takes a person to change a bully. Helping a bully stop what they are doing can include:

1. Talking to them and listening to them
2. Comforting them
3. Supporting him/her through what they are going through
4. Being their friend & showing him/her the right way to do things
5. Giving them advice
6. Giving them attention/showing compassion
7. Or even trying to get him/her to go to the counselor or social worker

These are things that could help change a bully. It may take time but at least it works because doing this is like saving people's lives who are afraid to stand up. You are basically doing them a favor or more like having integrity.

 How To Become Cybersmart

Being cybersmart isn’t that difficult. It just means to be smart/sensible online. To elaborate on that being cybersmart online include:

1. Only add people you know
2. Don’t talk to strangers
3. Don’t give to much information or detail about you or your family
4. Don’t post inappropriate things online
5. DO NOT MEET WITH A STRANGER ALONE OR AT ALL!

Things like this could help you be smart/sensible online. Being cybersmart is very important due to the fact that it could affect your future life and it could save your life to. So before you press share, post or send THINK.

Plastic Bag Ban

Plastic bag bans was a decision made by the one and only Jacinda Ardern. I agree to the fact that she has band plastic bags. I think that it'll have a big impact on the people and animals and the environment. Banding plastic would help with the less pollution, it'll help stop animals from eating it and it'll change the behaviour of the people, because they would have to think before they go out shopping. I approve this decision on banning plastic bags.

Hungarian Migration to New Zealand

Today I presented a presentation that my partner (Siunipa) and I worked on. Our presentation was about Hungarians migrating to New Zealand. In my presentation I wrote that one of the push reasons on why Hungarians migrated to New Zealand was to get away from the war that was happening and to help provide for their families by getting a job. The pull reason was that they felt the need to give back/help Hungarians on what they are going through. Presenting in front of the class was say for me because I've did this before and because I have talked to all of them, therefore I thought of presenting in front of my class was easy/not nervous. My social studies teacher thought that my partner and I projected our voices very well because the class and her could hear us properly.
