Seaton+King

eHowdy all just put a page up and don't know what it's for at the moment, but i will by the end of this year. Everyone can call me "Sloth" if you want.

Three people joined my group out of confusion. I changed my topic from ancient constructions that changed our future to the Nuclear waste deeposits in South Australia.
 * Week 1 & 2


 * Week three; Learnt about webspiration. :)
 * Found [] Reasons behind this website was to find out the facts on the topic.
 * Created a group webspiration.

Week 4
 * I interviewed three different peolpe of the older generation on the subjuect and the general opinion was to not deposit nuclear waste near the town of Woomera. Reasons being that it would give peolpe to "store" more unrecyclable items and turn it into the worst dumping ground in the Ausralia, economicly, environmentally and it would be a major terrorist target (via the nuclear waste).
 * The questions (in general) were: (These answers were from an anonamous interviewer.)
 * 1) What do you know about the nuclear waste deposits near Woomera? "Not much, but they are reactivating the rocket range and dumping nuclear waste near Woomera."
 * 2) Do you support this act by the government and why? "No, because it is giving officials the idea to dump more unrecyclable waste in the dump site; destroying the environment."
 * 3) Do you think the government can find a replacement location for the "storage" site of nuclear waste? " Maybe, but it can not possibly be on Earth."

These questions were from one person of the baby boomers generation knew not as much as some, but enough to know whats going on in the world. Week 5 1. "Not much but they understood the history around woomera." 2. "No, it has risks morally, theoretically, practically and ethicly." 3. "Not sure, but they will find one hopefully." That was the general opinion of the baby boomers. Established five conclusional interview questions (Official) Week 6
 * The plan for this week is to get information on what the older generation(Before the baby boomers) on the topic.
 * The questions in week four was an individual and not the general population of the era; the answers in general were:
 * Got some images of the affects of nuclear waste from [|www.cartoonstock.com] to show the humerous side of what could happen to our world if we continue our path to destruction.
 * Our group came up with a series of questions:
 * Why do we need to dump nuclear waste? "Because we do not want to come in contact with it."
 * why did the government choose Woomera to be the candidate town to "store" nuclear waste? "Because it is in the middle of nowhere and it would not affect the main cities of Australia."
 * 1) What do you know about the nuclear waste deposits near Woomera?
 * 2) Do you support the proceeds of the government's plan and why?
 * 3) Do you think they can find an alternative location for the nuclear waste and where?
 * 4) Do you support nuclear power and why?
 * located four nuclear waste topics on the new EBSCO search engine and revealled shocking resaults
 * [], found results that 75% of the world uses nuclear power for electricity and merchandise production. It is democracy in the lead, followed by republicans!
 * The group's hypothesis is "Nuclear waste is a global issue". It is broud but we are going to narrow it down to SA and a personal opinion with evidence backing our claims at the end. It is a big issue and i do not think we can get a definitive answer.
 * We are going to survey five different peolpe from four different age groups (under 18, 21-40, 40-60 and 61+). The results will be our primary source.

Week 7
 * Managed to ge two interviews with two gentlemen in their elderlies and found astounding information. One had no definite opinion on the matter and said that where selse will we put it. The other gentleman said that it does not matter what we are doing but it will effect the future of man kind and god has a plan for us and we just have to listen to his plan.( May Bradley take note on this statement plz)
 * I have also changed my hypothesis from nuclear waste is a global issue to underground nuclear waste storage is a safe solution. Personally i do not hink it is but we'll find out being that we have no choice in the matter.
 * Found five separate articles on nuclear waste to back up my claims on storing nuclear waste under ground is safe those above the ground but not for the wild life

Week 8

[|//**Waste**// dump fallout] Full Text Available The article says that NT will not accept the nuclear waste in their state and want a compramise; the government will give no compramise but under their terms of agreement. [|Our voices are silenced MARCH 11, 2010] Full Text Available The article mentions that the government is giving the NT leaders no choice but to accept the nuclear waste as a sign of relief; no one will accept nuclear wate willing in their own mind. The original owners were bribed with twelve million dollars to accept the nuclear waste, as hesitant asa it was they are still scepticle. [|//**Nuclear**// dump backed]Full Text Available In this article the Liberal government has supported the repository of the nuclear waste when it was voted seven months ago! It was then publicly presented to the public just recently on television and it is too late to repose this act. Now woomera will be knwn as the town two miles from a nuclear dump site. [|No nuke dump: MP] The nortern Territory Labour MP has broken ranks to oppose the propersision to deposit nuclear waste 120km away from Muckaty station near Tennant creek. It has baffled many observers on the arrogance of the government about whether these towns and cities are given a choice and how they can cope with this corruption. The Labour MP of Northern territory is ashamed of the decisions made by the SA government. [|No nuke dump: MP] In this article, the northern territory Labour has decided he does not want to have the nuclear waste one hundred and twenty kilometres away from Muckety station near Tennant creek. It is too close to people and the labour of Northern Territory has got it wrong once again finding the solution to nuclear repository. __**Term 2, week 1 & 2**__ The group will search for a specialist on environmental concerns; our first lead is green peace but i doubt it will be reliable.
 * The group found four articles backing our topic of nuclear waste in SA. The fifth article is coming and will be updated by 22/03/2010.

I had recieved two out of four e-mails form professionals in the nuclear field; the people were Tom Clements and Susan Gordan, both are profesionals in the field of environmental safety. They did help me with the assignment and i was wrong on first judgement.
 * __Week 3 & 4__**

We have started fixing the slide show htis week; there was a number of mistakes that we did not account for and we are paying for it this week. Fortunately there is three of us in the group and two could fix the slide and I can get started on the cue cardsfor the presentation. We are not going to practice this week because it could possibly jinx the outcome next week for me and possibly everyone else in the group.
 * __Week 5__**

__**6 Thinking hats**__ White:- The information was from a number of anti-nuclear and nuclear managment sites like [|www.nuclearwastenews.com]/ [|www.worldnuclear.org/eduation/wast.htm].

Red:- I felt that the overall team was medeocre because Mandeep was adding information in every slide that was not needed; it nwas as if he did not know what he was doing. Jake was arguing about who was going to move the slides and both of my partners were too scared of talking and wanted me to do it. They were making up excuses like they were not the best at english and i cannot talk to large groups of people; i have trouble as well but at least i could suck it up and get on with what has to be done (not insulting Mandeep and jake).

Black:- To be honest the whole group was full of emotional damaged people and it was doomed to have a medeocre result. But there was good points in the overall result; the score was a 50%, if the group did not argue the point where they were looking awful on the score sheet they would have had a reasonable score.

Yellow:- The group had a few good points; most of them knew talking about what they were talking about. If they helped the others they would get better but nobody was perfect.

Green:- The creativity in th slide was pretty good; the background set the scene nicely and the images were a little humorous to those who could understand. Good job.

Bue:- In conclusion the research was ediquit and within reason; but it lacked team work and initiative so please work on that as soon as possible and good luck in the future.
