There is no video’s on Goat Rock or Doran Beach. Very hard to find. However, here are photos of Goat Rock and Doran beach.

4.
Bodega Bay has the most beautiful beaches on the west cost of California. Bodega Bay is located in Sonoma County on the Pacific Coast about 68 miles North of San Francisco and only one hour from Santa Rosa. To of most popular beaches are Goat Rock and Doran Beach.

a.
Goat Rock beach is, about ten minutes from the town of Jenner north off Hwy 1. Goat Rock Beach is where the Russian river runs into the ocean. Goat Rock is named for its huge rock. The huge cliffs are high above sea level. The beach is well known for its great tide pools especially when its low tides. The beach is more rocky, lots of different tiny rocks for sand; you find crystals polished by the waves, beautiful pebbles of all sizes, shapes, and types. The beach is a great place for beachcombing, yet its one of Jenner’s and Bodega Bay most dangerous beaches to swim. Signs are all over restricting visitors to swim in the waters. It has been well know that many people have died in the waters where the Russian river runs into the ocean. Goat Rock is an awesome beach, beautiful and a great place to visit as long as people do not swim in the water or play by the shore alone. Goats Rock beach is popular for beachcombing. Moreover, it is known for its sleeper waves. These waves sneak up behind and can pull anyone under without warning. The waves are strong and once it grabs hold, it is almost impossible to return on shore.

Doran Beach is just five minutes from the town of Bodega Bay. Its smooth sandy beaches and great picnic areas, makes a great day for family and friends to get together. Doran beach is much more fun for visitors. With a low or medium tide, anyone can play in the waters. There are no sleeper waves. The ocean is more flat and smooth. The sand is fine and easy to make sandcastles with. Kids love this beach the best, because they can play in the water without the current of the waves pulling them in.

b.
Both Goat Rock and Doran beach are similar in receiving wind, seaweed, and fog.
Goat Rock beach gets the strong winds from the ocean, even on a sunny clam day. Doran beach does not get as much strong winds as Goat Rock, but it still gets a great about of wind, which makes it hard because the fine sand stings peoples skin and gets into their eyes. As for Goat Rock, the sand pebbles are bigger, making it harder for the wind to pick up the sand as it does on Doran beach. Goat Rock always has huge amount of seaweed brought in from the waves. Doran beach also gets large amounts of seaweed, much more then Goat Rock. Goat Rock has many rocks to stop most of the seaweed from coming in; where as Doran beach is flat with little rocks and receives more seaweed by the tons. Both Goat Rock and Doran beach get a great amount of fog. Fog is 80% of the time. When the inland is hot, then the beaches have no fog. However, when it is cool inland, the beaches have fog. With the fog over the cost, it cools down all of Sonoma County.

c.
Goat Rock is much different then Doran beach in there location, the waves and sand. Goat Rock beach is surrounded by high cliffs. Doran beach is more flat, with no high cliffs surrounding it. The waves at Goat Rock are more dingoes, with sleeper waves and high waves. The wave’s crash against the rocks before it hits the shore. However, Doran Beach is more flat, there are no rocks for the waves to crash against. The beach is long and easy to walk on, where as Goat Rock there is more rock to climb over or walk around. The sand on Goat Rock is rockier; pebbles are lager, which can hurt walking on with bare feet. As for Doran beach the sand is fine, easy to walk on without shoes. The beach makes a great place to run and hike on.

d.
Our coastline beaches are beautiful and majestic. However if you know about sleep waves, would still travel on the shore alone? It is always better to have a friend when going to the beach. Even with Doran beach with the waves smooth and less sleeper waves it’s always best to have someone with you just incase of an accident of any kind. Our beaches can be safe and fun, as long as you obey the signs, walk the beaches in the day, and never at night. In addition, stay way when the waves are high or rough.

She also loves the sandy sunny beaches, which are great fun tourist to visit, take pictures, and swim in the waters.

Pairs is the capital and largest city in France and it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with its lovely gardens, and parks and historic structures. Paris has long been a world center of the Arts and Education for hundreds of years. Paris grew rapidly and become a major center of culture and government.

Rome is called the Eternal City, another of the world’s most beautiful cities, with its ancient monuments and magnificent buildings showing Rome’s past glory when Rome ruled the ancient western world as the capital of the mighty Roman Empire. Today Rome has new buildings, which are a sign of its modern-day cultures.

Paris is known for its fantastic and beautiful gardens and parks thought-out the city; the people there enjoy quiet, scenic resting places in the city looking at the gardens. A number of historic buildings of Pairs house government offices, the house of Franc’s Parliament assemble and meet in the Bourbon Palace.

The government in Paris is chief executive, with a Mayor who is in office for six years. In addition, the city council has 109 members. Rome has a Mayor for a four-year term, and they have a legislature of 80 members. The area of Paris is 41 miles; where as the area of Rome is 582 square miles.

d.
Paris economy has many companies headquarter and banks, over half of the nations business is done in Paris. Where as Rome, is a heavily industrialized city, were most Romans earn there living from jobs in government and some work in restaurants and building trades. My question is how is Paris and Rome doing finically in today’s economy?

3). Tell us how this information will relate to our study of humanities.

This information relates to my study of humanities as being very important. One of the best ways to reach people is to be an educator, one who instills wisdom with morals to their students. Humanities are the stories, ideas of these who make sense of our lives in this world. All people are connected to one another and humanities helps us to learn how we can help one another and make people’s lives better, we learn answers about what is right or wrong, or what is true to our heritage and our history. Humanities help us address the challenges we face in our community, our nation, and our world. Humanities emphasize the importance of each culture and their uniqueness of how they live and work. Each tribe, nationality, culture, and religion is special to each person, and we should always respect one another’s cultures and find ways to help one another and build up one another. We are NEVER to tear down any one, or find one culture less important then another, all people are special, and all people have something to give to our world.

Assignment 1b

Paulo Freire grew up in the Northeast of Brazil where he his life was influenced his life’s work. He was forced to know hunger and poverty at a young age, when the world economy crisis fell. Because Paulo Freire lived among the pour he gained a deep understanding of the importance of education to all people. He became an educator, as a grammar teacher while in high school, where he strived to understand students. Paulo Freire met his wife Elza Maia Costa de Oliveira who also was an elementary school teacher and who was a great strength to him, in his life. In addition, in 1962 Freire’s method of teaching was experimented on 300 farm workers who were taught to read and write in only 45 days, which caused the government at that time to approve thousands of culture circles to be set up all over Brazil, helping people to read and write. However, the military coup of 1964 hated the work, so the work was stopped and it changed Freire’s life.

In June 1964, Paulo Freire was imprisoned in Brazil for 70 days as a traitor, just because of helping people to read and write. Freire lived in Chile for five years working in the Christian Democratic, the Agrarian Reform Movement. Moreover, in 1967 he published his first book, “Education as the Practice of Freedom,” which brought him a position as a visiting professor at Harvard in 1969. In 1968, he wrote his famous “Pedagogy of the Oppressed.” He wrote it only in Spanish and English, not in his Brazil tongue. Freire understood the importance of the knowledge to read and write, (for without knowledge and the understanding of knowledge, people, especially the poor were doomed to live in the dark and not receive an education.

Freire has been recognized for his profound impact on education in thought and practice. He received numerous awards including honorary doctorates, the king Balduin Prize for International development and the prize for an outstanding Christian Educator in 1985 with his wife Elza, and the UNESCO prize for Education for Peace.
Freire’s wife Elza died in 1986 and he remarried to Ana Maria Araujo Freire. Paulo Freire died on May 2, 1997 from heart failure at the age of 75 and his wife Ana Maria continues with her own educational work. People who encountered Freire though his deep respect because of his intellectual writings.
