Maniapoto
She doesn't want people to think that moko and tattoo are the same because they are two very different things. Moko has a greater meaning than just a regular tattoo.Moko reflected the Maori way of life everything was connected, religion, war, lovemaking and death. If people saw you on the street with moko they would think that you are just another freak with a bunch of tattoos but they don't know the real meaning of the markings.I think she is trying to make the people know the true meaning of moko, that they are not just a tattoo.
Maniapoto definatly used her opionion in her argument.I think her argument was very succsessful, she explains it very well. I think she helped people understand moko.
She doesn't think globalization ia good. She believes greatly in the Maori tribe and she thinks that globalization is bad for it. She uses the traditional music to explain their culture. She doesnt like the tading that is going on.

Legacy
Legacy is something that has been past down from an ancestor or predecessor.
The Richmond Oval is the premier legacy because it is a massive building where the speed skating will participate for the gold. The skaters will remember the place where they won their medals. People will remember the building as one of the main trade marks of the 2010 Winter Olympics. It will stay up long after the games are over and it will remind the people of the greatness that occured in this building.

Bull Riding
I would have to say one of the most extreme sports in are area would have to be a bull rider. Just watching the people get a bull ready for a ride should be enough to scare off the toughest of riders. Bull riding has a lot of risks such as potential brain damage or other injuries such as broken bones, it can even result in death. Their are not very many people willing to take the risks of bull riding because of the horrible things i can do to you. When a bull riders carrier ends they are usually very beaten up. Most of the riders today where helmets and protective vests in case they get stepped on and it also provides support if you fall off. Bull riding can also cause internal damage such as a a hit to the body causing internal bleeding. Bull riders can get hurt even before they leave the chute. Many times the bull will lean against your leg in the chute or even worse the bull may flip over on top of you. Their is also lots of benefits for being a bull rider, if you are a very good rider you can make a lot of money. Some people just love the rush it brings to them. I think that if you are a good bull rider that it can be worth the risks of bull riding but if you are afraid and don't know what you are doing than it is not a good idea to become a bull rider. Some people enjoy living their life on the edge, bull riding is a great way to do that. People can make an honest living being a bull rider. PBR (Professional Bull Riding) is won of the places that most good bull riders make their big money.

What it means to be a Canadian.
What it Means to be Canadian. To be Canadian means more then simply living in Canada. In Canada we stand up for what we believe in and respect others opinions. The extreme weather conditions, our neighborly lifestyle and our democratic government are what it means to be Canadian.
When people think about Canada they think of the harsh winters. Blizzards, storms and freezing have become a part of our daily word choice but we continue to be positive about the future. One thing we Canadians have in common is that we experience severe weather conditions. Our weather is one of are biggest trade marks.
We are very important country to all the other countries we live beside such as are brother nation the United States. We are known as a peaceful country that believes in helping other counties. We go to war to protect and help the US, even though we are two different countries we treat them as are own. Canada is also involved with many other countries, we do buisness and we are part of other countries life styles.
Canada is a Democracy. We believe in freedom, the right to vote, the right to do what every we please just so long you don't disobey the law. We don't have any discrimination against others. When we look at other countries it is hard to imagine what it would be like not to live in Canada. I can't see any other country more free and wonderful than Canada.
What it means to be Canadian. We have many things to be proud of in Canada, some of the main ones are the freedom we have, Democratic Government, the weather conditions we have, and we are a very neighborly country.
