Domestic Violence

"Domestic Violence"

At Hornby High, we have been asked how we can have a positive impact on our community? 

To do this first we had to choose a topic. I chose Domestic Violence because it is something that I think may affect too many people in our community not just in our community but the whole world and many people are affected of it especially the women's that suffering violence around the world I would like to find some way to make a difference. We had to work in groups that had a similar vision to us.Other people that had a similar vision to me were Devie, Lathia, and Roanne. We formed a group called “ La.Ro.T.Vie" that came from our names To help us understand Domestic Violence further we needed to find websites that gave us information on what is what and what you can do. Here is a list of the websites we found

Website Name	Link	Date we accessed              site

New Zealand Police	http://www.police.govt.nz/	16/11/2017

We then had to answer some questions about our topic: 
Who is affected? All of the people might be affected on this domestic violence.
What are the issues? Some of Domestic Violence are Sexual,Social and physical
When and how did this start? So we  don’t know when did this started but we are sure that domestic violence  has occur back in old times, in the era of our old old old old ancestors.
Where is it happening? All over the world. The statistics for Christchurch in particular are really scary. 

Why is this happening? Violence is happening because of the build-up tensions and a breakdown in communication.Stress and state in life or poverty are one of the biggest reason why domestic violence happens.

Is torture ever acceptable

It is rather difficult to determine whether torture is ever acceptable. From different points of view, it can be said that each person has his own opinion considering the issue, and this issue is rather contradictive. It is known that are thousands of various situations of torture and consequently, in some of them torture is being used, for example, to prevent terrorist attacks or to get the important information.Torture is unacceptable, as all human beings have their rights, and there are other modern ways of punishment and ways to get information from people. Many experts find torture unnecessary and claim that it is not effective anymore.
Obviously, there are other methods of getting useful information that can save lives, but it has also been proven that not all people can be tortured and as a consequence tell the truth. Some of them lie when they are tortured and some of them just say nothing. Many experts think that torture is effective, but the other side of this issue is still unclear, as even an innocent person can get tortured by a mistake and then, probably, killed. In this case, torture is unacceptable.
Torture has been known since the ancient times as a means of punishment, deterrence, and to obtain confessions. In particular, a variety of torture is widely used in ancient nations.

Soil Erosion

Soil Erosion 

Introduction:

Soil erosion is a process that happens naturally.How fast it happens depends on how steep a place is, the weather, plants or lack of them and what’s below the soil. Changes that people make to the land can also make it erode more quickly.  As the soil erodes, it finds its way into our rivers and harbours.

One of Northland's biggest water pollutants is silt or, more precisely, fine clay particles. Slow-flowing rivers, like the Northern Wairoa and the Hātea River above the Whangārei Town Basin, are among the most polluted by silt.

Our monitoring shows that water from the Northern Wairoa sometimes contains more than a kilogram of clay particles per cubic metre of water.

Experiment:1.Soil Erosion

We put a water on a sand to make a soil erosion.

Experiment:2.Effects of Vegetation

The wind and water erosion turn the hills into a flat land.

Conclusion:What Should New Zealand Do To Reduce Soil Erosion 

A range of measures have been used to control or prevent erosion on New Zealand’s farmland. Some were adopted from other countries such as the USA, some were learnt by trial and error, and others developed from research.

Biological control is usually cheaper, but more risky, than mechanical methods.

Trees Trees reduce the rate of erosion by

protecting the soil from the impact of rain
transpiring large amounts of water, which counteracts very wet soil
binding soil to sloping land with their roots.
Spaced planting

Trees, commonly poplars, are planted strategically on slip-prone hill country such as the area around Taihape. Thousands have also been planted throughout the North Island hill country.
