What is the issue?

The issue is that there has been an outbreak of what seemed to be a type of H2N1 virus at a farm at Iksan, South Korea.

Who is involved?

The South Korean ministry of agriculture, South Korean quarantine officials, and the head of the agriculture ministry’s livestock bureau, Lee Sang-gil.

Who is affected and How?

The civilians of South Korea and possibly the world. After the outbreak in Iksan, officials have slaughtered 236,000 poultry. The H5N1 virus began hitting Asian poultry stock in 2003, and has killed at least over 153 people worlwide. Since 2003, South Korea has eliminated 5.3 million birds during the last known outbreak of bird flu in that very year. Scientists fear that the virus might mutate into a form that could be even more deadly to human contact and could be very, very contagious.

What would I do if I was directly involved?

I would find a cure for this deadly virus, so that I can save many hearts and souls of this very world. By doing this the world can keep its current population and extend even more if the cure was found for this virus.

Reflection For “My Life”

Describe your life story.

My life story is my name is Salah and I was born in Malaysia in the year 1994. My mom is from Morocco (a country in northern Africa) and my dad is from Malaysia that is found in Southeast Asia. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters and I am now have reached at the age of 12. I study in a school in Malaysia and live in a farm in Morocco and travel there for the holidays during the summer. My youngest brother’s is Fakharuddin, my youngest sister’s name is Nada, my eldest sister’s is Aqimila, my second eldest brother is Hasan, and my eldest brother is Norman. My favorite food is roasted chicken with rice and the sports that I play are basketball, karate, soccer.

How will you demonstrate this in the iMovie?

I will demonstrate the iMovie by organizing the family members by each of their ages, so basically systematically from youngest to oldest. I will also organize them by each event occurring at certain times, so basically from past to present.

What challenges will you face completing this project?

The challenges I will face completing this project presenting the iMovie/life story the class, because the presentation needs to be clear to the audience and so that they can understand my whole life story. My other challenge is controlling iMovie because every spec of importance in my life needs to be explained which is kind hard because some clips of certain events that occurred in my life might not be in the iMovie. Yet I will try to present other events and of course my family and friends.

How will you overcome them?

I will overcome them by practicing presenting my life story to myself so that I will overcome my fears in standing up to people.
