I think that America should regain its position as leader of the world, but it is highly unlikely because most people don't really pay attention that much anymore. Also, because of how our economy is compared to the economy of others, it is unlikely that we would ever be able to gain our position as leader back. 
For the STEM competition we're in, I have to do a blog about a STEM-related discovery or invention I would like to support or make in my lifetime. The discovery I would like to support is the discovery of a cure for cancer. The reason I support this cure is because I have had family that has died from cancer, and because my dad just recently had surgery looking possible cancer in him. If a cure for cancer was found, then many peoples' lives would be saved each year.
I have been thinking about my career for quite some time now, and I am still unsure. This class has made me think about it more than I was before though. Right now, the career I have been considering the most is being a pharmacist, although I am still uncertain. Being a pharamacist would tie into the STEM topics of math and science.
This STEM blog assignment is to tell how Globaloria has cause me to become more engaged in our classes. Form me, this is hard because it hasn't really caused me to be engaged my in any of my classes. I have looked at other peoples games and have saw how it could engage students in their classes, but from how our game is about social issues, it won't really engage us. Another reason Globaloria doesn't help get me engaged is that I just don't think that I could be engaged very much more. I always get A's in all of my classes, and even in classes I don't like that much, I still do well. I am in Algebra II earlier than 10th grades should be, and I also do well in the other STEM related subjects. Although Globaloria doesn't help me much, I can understand how it could help other people.
I can think of only a few careers in technology that I might pursue. The one that really stands out to me is being a game developer. I am inspired to become one by The SmackDown vs Raw game series. The game series started in 2000 when the game, WWF SmackDown1 was released under the production of THQ and Yuke's Future Media. Since then, ten more games have been released under the production of the same people, and one more is currently under production. The success of the game, and the producers of the game is what gives me the idea to make games that could potentially rival their games. This class and that job are related because the job would require people to know how to create basic games themselves.
I am going to do the second STEM blog now. I am supposed to talk about what I think the three greatest inventions or discoveries of all time are. The invention that has the biggest effect on my life is the invention of the Internet. The Internet allows us to talk to people on the other side of the world, or just down the rode. The Internet also makes finding needed information easy. Another important invention that most people overlook is indoor plumbing. The reason that most people over look it is because it was invented by the Romans over two thousand years ago. before then, people would put their waste into a bucket and just dump it into the streets. If there was no plumbing, people would still do that and there would be waste everywhere u looked. For me, television is one of the greatest inventions to date. It provides much entertainment and another may to receive important information. These three inventions that I have mentioned makes life easier for all, and without them, I don't know what I would do.
OK, well the class is supposed to do some blogs for the STEM Games Contest, so here is mine. What were supposed to write about is the hardest concept of our game. The hardest concept for people to understand is that gambling is only a problem if you are addicted and unable to quit. Once one is addicted, quitting is almost impossible for them to do by themselves.
