__**My Research Questions**__
Should it be a women’s right to decide if she wants an abortion? Should gay marriage be a couple’s decision or the government’s decision? Should the death penalty be legal or should a life sentence be the maximum penalty? Should there be a curfew for people under 18 years old to reduce crime?

When did you last see your father?
The painting is about a Royal boy being questioned by the Parliamentarians. The Parliamentarians are hoping that the boy will tell them where his father is. His father is probably a leader of the Royalists and if they can capture him they will be able to make the Royalists surrender. The boy looks calm and is facing directly at the questioner. The questioner doesn’t look scary like the other men and seems to have sympathy for the boy. The girl hiding in the back seems to be the boy’s older sister while the lady looks like his mother. While the boy is being questioned, the man in the right hand corner with a brown coat is hoping for another Parliamentarian victory. Also, over looking is a man in a black hat who has no courtesy for the young boy and thinks the family deserves harsh punishment. The other guy over looking with a black hat and books in his hand looks like he has decided that the family is guilty. The little girl dressed in Royalist clothing is probably the boy’s sister and is probably crying because she is afraid of what the soldiers might do to her family. She is probably going to be questioned nople ext. The sergeant is trying to comfort her. There is also a clerk on the side of the table writing down everything that is said. His presence makes the scene look more official.

The Thesis Statement
Although many people think it is morally and ethically wrong, scientists need the funding and support to be able to clone human organs to save the lives of others that are dying because of the extended waiting for organs, high rejection potential, and skyrocketing medical costs.

Plagiarism
1. Plagiarism is when you copy words, ideas, or images without sighting them. For example, if you copied a sentence from a website and pasted it on your paper without quoting it. Also, if you copy an online report, even if you sight it, it is not your work and thus is plagiarizing. 2. It is important not to plagiarize because it is against school policy and it will get you in big trouble. If you plagiarize in class you could get an automatic zero and have to retake the class. If you plagiarize in College, you could get kicked out and lose all your money. 3. The difference between plagiarism and copyright violation is plagiarism is stealing words, ideas, or images and using them as your own work where as copyright violation is using someone else's work without permission to make money. 4. The consequences for plagiarism at Dirigo High School are the following: a non-passing grade on the assignment or redo assignment, parental conference, reduction in the ranking period grade by one letter, loss of credit for the semester, or removal from the course. 5. The consequences for plagiarism for college are the following: dismissal from the university, suspension from the university, probation, grade penalties, loss of benefits for some or all programs, scholarships, or any other opportunities. 6. You can avoid plagiarism by using valid and credible sources, taking careful notes, quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing.

=First Global Age= There were many political problems that led to revolutions in the first global age. One of them was the “political discontent of France”. Back in the 1600s and 1700s an absolute government ruled France. The King could do whatever he wanted because he had all the powers. Anyone who disagreed with the government could be thrown in jail without a fair trial. During the French Revolution, Louis XVI was the King. He was into hunting more than ruling the country. Louis XVI and the Queen had a great life at the Palace of Versailles. The King and Queen didn’t care about their county and in result the government was inefficient, unjust, and corrupt. This made people mad and contributed to the French Revolution. Even though the “political discontent of France” was a big problem it was the Philosophies that “planted the seeds” for the French Revolution. There were many economic problems that led to revolutions in the first global age. The French kings contributed to these problems. During the 1700s more money was spent by the French Government than it made from taxes. Because of this, it went bankrupt in 1788. The lower class people were mad because they were taxed heavily and the Royal people weren’t taxed very much. Another thing people were angry about was the Church owned one-tenth of the land in France and they weren’t taxed at all. Another major factor that caused the French Revolution was social problems. In the 1700s, France was divided into 3 classes. People lived in 3 different estates. The clergy made up the First Estate. The nobility made up the Second Estate. The bourgeoisie, city workers, and the peasants made up the Third Estate. Your power and rights were decided by the state you belonged to. The first estate had only 1% of the people and 10% of the land, the second had 2% of the people and 35% of the land, and the third had 97% of the people and 55% of the land. This angered people because the amount of land the Third Estate had was unjust for the amount of people it had compared to the other two estates. This eventually led to the French Revolution.
