During the last couple of months and weeks a current topic has been the influence of wolf packs in our forrests. There have been a vivid discussion concerning the right to shoot wolves that are attacking dogs or farm animals. There has also been some discussions surrounding the proposal to introduce a wolf hunt to protect other animals.
During these discussions we have meet two sides. One side that wants to protect the wolf packs and another side that wants to get control over the growth of the packs. Many of the people that have decided to fight for the survivel of the wolves see a beautiful animal that is realted to the dog, a harmless animal. While the other side see a fierce predator who kills their dogs and farm animals. I'm one of the people who belive that we need to introduce a form of wolf hunt. A hunt that will control the growth of the wolf packs. I don't have anything against wolves but I belive that it's not good if the packs become to big.
I live in the countryside and there is a lot of wolves in the surrounding forrest. Sometimes in the winter I can find wolf tracks outside in the front yard and when that happens it feels like it's gone to far. It dosen't feel safe when you go outside any longer. Even if you live in the countryside you should not need to have them in your front yard, you should not have to be afraid to go outside.

Adolescence good or bad
What can you say about the adolescence years of your life?
Its something that everyone has to go through, and something that everyone handle in diffrent ways. Some enjoy their adolescent years while others think that its the worst years of their lives. I don't know if you can say that its good or bad, its just something that everyone has to go through in one way or another.
I didn't have any problems during my adolescent years, the only thing I really remember is that I thaugth that some of my classmates was a bit immature. It felt like sometimes they used their age as an excuse to behave badly. Sometimes it felt like they didn't take responsibility for their actions, and that was something that I didn't like. I have always been taught that you should take responsibility for your actions.
Something else that I remember from these years is that I whished I was older. When I was fifteen or sixteen yeras old, I whished I was eigthteen so I could take my drivers licence, and when I was eigthteen I whished I was twenty years old. I don't know why but I didn't want to be seen as a kid, I wanted to be a grown up.
To round it all up I can say this, if the adolescent years of your life is good or bad depends on what kind of choices you make during this period of time.

Drugs used for medical purposes.
There are many reasons for both alowing and forbidding the use of drugs as a medical substance. Waing all the diffrent reasons against each other I still belive that it should be possible for someone to figth pain with help of legalised drugs if normal painkillers don't help.
What may worry a lot of people is that drugs can be addictive. The chance for that happening is just as big as getting addicted to normal painkillers that you use every day. All kind of pills can be addictive if they are not used with great caution. It dos not matter if its marijuana or morphine, it dosen't matter that one is legalised and one isn't, they are still alike. So way should it not be possible to legalize drugs for medical purposes?
If drugs would be allowed for medical purposes it would make it possible for the doctor to oversee his patient use of the substance. If it would not be legalized the doctor would not be able to oversee his patient use of the substance, and he would not be able to guarantee his patient health. By legalising drugs both doctors and patient's would be able to know that the drugs they are taking for their pain has not been contaminated by a foregin substance.
A final question to answer when determing if drugs should be legalized is, if ordinary painkillers dosen't help why should it not be a possibility to use drugs. If the pain is so terrible that it feels like your going to die, that you can't live with it, why should you not be able to use drugs?
If they help you live a normal life and you don't get addicted, then you should have the possibility to choose if you want to take them or not. It should although be under a doctors supervision so that nothing goes wrong.
The only one who can determine what's the rigth thing to do, is the one who is in great pain. Someone who is without pain can not make this decision, because that person dos not know what it mean to live a life filled with pain day out and day in.

Peoples fascination with space
Why are people so fascinated by space?
As far back in history as we know, and as far back as we can remember human beings has always been explorers. Travlers in search of the unknown, pioneers taking risks so that the society would be able to know what hid in the unknown parts of the world. Like for an example Christopher Columbus who found a new world by misstake while searching for the sea route to India. Or like Lewis and Clark who decided to unveil the secrets that hid in the uncharted territory of the middle and western parts of a y oung country called America.
Since the dawn of time it has been a part of human nature to look for answers where there may lie a question. It is in our blood to look for clues that can explain why things are like they are, why the world looks like it does. We can't resist looking behind the next cornor, or on the other side of the hill in case we find an answer to one the many questions that will intrig us during our life. It is our curiosity that makes life worth living. If we weren't curios about life and didn't want to learn new things, everything would eventually become very boring. This is partly why exploring is a big part of every human beings life, where the exploration takes place dosen't realy matter, it can be in a lab, in the world of books, in the back yard or in space.
What makes space so fascinating for so many people is that it's uncharted territory. There are only a few people that has had the chance to go out in space to explore what is out there, and that makes it extra speciell. You can say that by gooing out in space we are trying to find out what is behind the next cornor. Not knowing what is out there or how big the univers is, are questions that we are burning to find an answer to. Today space is the biggest uncharted territory in this world and no one knows what opportunitys this part of the world can give us, and that is why the intrest keeps on growing.

Home sweet home
There is something special with the place where you are born. There are some kind of invisible ties that binds you to the place (or country) where you are born.
I have never lived abroad for any longer period of time, I have only been abroad on shorter vacations. I love going at there broad, to see and experiencenew things, but there is something special with the homecoming, something that is even better then going abroad. I could emagine to live in another country for a couple years while studing or working, but at the end I still would still want to move back home.
It is hard to explain what it is that ties me to my homecountry, what it is that is so special about Sweden. It is not just one thing, it is a lot of diffrent things and emotions that will always make me feel at home in my corner of the world. For an example, one thing that makes this country special is the diffrent seasons of the year, the way that the seasons influence the apperance of the nature. In the summer when the trees in the forest is standing tall swaing in the wind, and all you can her is the silence and the wind, and maybe a bird somewhere high up in a tree. Or the fields that during the summer is coverd with flowers, where you earley in the morning can see a deer or a moose eating it's breakfeast. In the winter when a thick quilt is covering the ground, everything is quiet and the sun shines on the snow that sparkles like diamonds. Or when the wind has whirl around the snow so that it looks like the ground is coverd with whipped cream. When the sun is setting and it looks like the sky is burning. When I think of these things I feel safe and calm.
These are just a couple of things that I would not chang for anything. When I look at all these things that are so special to me, I ask myself why whould I want to give this up when it's all that makes me happy, that makes me feel safe, that makes me feel like I belong somewhere.
I have to agree with Dorethy from The Wizzerd of Oz, "There is no place like home".

Why I chose the subject I did.
From my younger years to my adult life, I have many times changed my mind when it has come to chosing a profession. During one part of my life I wanted to become a figtherpilot, that plan soon disapeared when I found out that I needed glasses. From that day I started to think about what I really wanted to do with my life.
I did not really know what I wanted to become before I graduated senior high school. After a lot of thought I decided that I wanted to become a teacher, the only thing that was left to decide was which block of subjects that I wanted to teach. I had always been interested in history, so I decided that history would be one of the subjects that I was going to study. The reason why I've always been interested in history, is that I belive that we can learn so much by studing our past. We can learn from our ancestors so that we don't repeat there misstakes, I also belive that by studing our past we can become better leaders, and hopefully inspire our future generations to do something god in this world. By teaching history I hope that I can teach my students to see everything from a larger perspective of life. I hope to show them that every part of the world is linked together in one way or another.
Another thing that I've always found fascinating, is all the secrets that our history is carring, secrets that are waiting to be reveald. A fascination that i hopefully can pass on to my students.
