Children Of the River
If this happened I would probably try and leave. I would try to leave as early as possible because I would want to leave before things got worse. If I had to go somewhere I would probably try to leave the country on a airplane, train, or boat and go somewhere like Ireland becasue that is where my family came from a long time ago, so I know once I got there I know I could do something.
Well first I would probably be really scared. I would probably leave with the people but I would be really sad becasue I left behind my parents and friends, though I would be scared I would have faith that I would see them again. Once I was on the plane I would probably be really scared because I have no idea where I am going. I would hope I would go somewhere were they speak English because I don't know any other language. If I had to guess where I would be going I would probably guess somewhere in Asia or Africa.
I would be really scared once I found out where I was. The first thing I would do is try to get to a place where I could try to call home or watch something that tells me what is going on back home. The other thing I would have to do is try to find a government building that might be able to help me with food, shelter, money, and education until I could do it on my own. I think my daily life would definitely change. Even though I do know a few people I would still have to start a new school and slowly adapt to the daily life of the new country. It would be hard and I would probably worry about my family a lot but once I had the chance to try and contact what was left of my family and see if I could get them over with me and away from the horrible place they are in.

Genocide
I know Genocide is the mass murder of a certain type of people like African Americans or Jewish. One thing I don't know about Genocide is what causes people to do it. I can only think of one Genocide that happened for the last 100 years and that would be the holocaust.

Defining Valid, Reliable, and Accurate- Hope Garrison
Valid: Something that is reliable to what you are researching on.
Reliable: Something you are confident in if you need to use it.
Accurate: When some is correct for example when you find one fact and keep on finding the same fact on more then one website it most likely means it's accurate.
One source I am using is a book. Good things about a book is the author get's facts out of studies or things that are known to be true. The only down fall from books maybe that they are out dated for example the book I am using was written in 1982, so some of the information may be out dated.

Research Step 1
In the last two day I have done some research in English and History. In English I came up with my thesis and focused my topic on the Justice if someone has a mental health problem. In History I started to look up books and articles that could give me an idea on what it is like to take care of someone with mental health problems and how they may act and feel. So far I like the topic I choose, I find it very interesting and see that my point of view is very different then others.
