One world week to Thailand

My first day was about leaving to Thailand at 5 am it was nice because I was ready to go for it. The first flight out took 12 hours but it felt more like 28 for me I ate chicken on the flight it was good but I drank a soda and it was not good it it made my stumic hurt for the whole day. It was me and iberias first time out of the country with out are parents and it was also are first time being together out side of the country too. The third day we went hiking to a water fall it was nice. The next day never existed. The third day we went for a small kayak ride and then we went into town to seven eleven and bought stuff and also I got some new Thai clothes. On Monday we went for a big kayaking ride and one of the kids got sick so we took her to the hosipital. Tuesday we are staying in town to do kick boxing and cooking also we did some painting. It was very fun I love the painting I mix a lot of colors and it turn out ok. I had trouble with the cooking because I was tring to write it down so when I get home I could made it for my family. The Thai boxing was fun I had never did it before but I have don't lot of other fighting. I was sparing with the teacher and he flipled kick me to the ground. But I came back gave him so good shoots to the body and then I got him and flip him down but accidentally body slammed the poor guy and that was it.

When we stay at are home stay it was really great. Are home stay person was letting us do almost what ever we liked like go walk at night down to the giloto which is Italian for ice cream. Are home stay person helped me with the mauy Thai boxing because he is also a teacher too. I though at first it was going to be a run down shack like place but then it was like amazing to see they had tv and electricity and etc. My home stay did not have a car but he had like 4 moopeds and a motorcycle.

When we started out at puket it looked a little crappy but the people were nice. The towns were small but very unec.

Construction work in the 60's and 70's

 During, my parent era in the 70's construction work starts to become a skilled trade and the industry starts demanding more trained workers. The type of work is dynamic, and changing at a
rapid pace over the last thirty years. "Although not the largest industrial sector,
construction is a key industry that is by far the most labour-intensive, but which provides the main economic pillar for future survival." (Cremers, 2004).

During this time construction workers maybe concerned with fair hiring practices. Seattle’s politics of fair employment changed when African American construction workers and activists began to protest racially exclusionary hiring practices in Seattle’s construction unions in the fall of 1969.These are the types of article topics that you would see in the newspapers.The things that I suspect to be the same would be the work quality among the laborers. I also think that all the tool and machines that they would have used would be the same as today. 

 In the 1960's when my grandparents were construction workers the economic  and political atmosphere was not at rest there were many things that in addition to a day at work that the laborers had to deal with. The Civil Rights campaigns of the 1960s, one of the most outstanding forces in twentieth-century U.S. history was empowering workers to stand up for there rights.  The antiwar movement actually consisted of a number of independent interests, causing another distraction for the workers at this time.

Some of the things that you may see in the news at this time are topic in relation to Hispanic, Black, Indian, and other migrant workers. An article that I found, Black Power at Work chronicles the history of direct action campaigns, fought to open up the construction industry to black workers in the 1960s and 1970s. I suspect that this would be the same because today's era still treats the different migrant workers with not a lot of respect. A few of them do have respect like my grandparents company.

Most structures constructed between 1920 and 1980 run a substantial risk of harboring asbestos products in the floors, walls, roof, insulation, pipes, boilers, fireproofing materials and other areas.
