What is power??

As the dictionary says, “Power is a person or thing that possesses or exercises authority or influence”. Power takes many forms, comes from many places, and is measured in many ways.
Almost everything happens with the influence of power; power has caused all the big events in the past such as the industrial revolution, WWI, WWII, the Cold War, imperialism, the Russian revolution and much more.
Without power, many countries wouldn’t have industrialized and made as money, notice how the powerful countries industrialized and how they industrialized first. WWI; all the countries went into the war trying to take over land and gain power, they fought because of power. Again, notice how the leading forces of WWI were the most powerful. Same thing with WWII, Nazi Germany wanted to take over Europe and get lots of power. Germany was close to doing this because they were so powerful. The cold war was between the powerful countries and was caused and escalated by trying to be the most powerful. The outcomes of these wars also relates to power, the powerful countries came out strong and continued to be strong and to be world leaders. Imperialism; this was caused by the most powerful nations taking advantage and taking over the less powerful countries such as Africa. In conclusion, power is a big factor that can influence great decisions.

PoP reflection

From the population project I learned many things. First of all I learned a lot about my topic, (wealth and family planning use). Second, I learned how to conduct an interview and take good notes. Finally I learned how to write a data analysis. From the population project I learned a lot that will help me in the future. For example, if I need to conduct and interview for data in the future I will know how. Also in the future knowing how to write a good data analysis will help me.

globaization net effects

I think the net effect of globalization has both a positive and negative effect on the world today.
I think globalization has a positive effect on the world, because it allows more jobs for countries such as India and china. Secondly, globalization spreads cultures and foreign ideas. For example, American restaurants such as McDonalds are introduced in India, the Indians like it because it has good food and the company McDonalds enjoys this because this brings in more money. Finally globalization has a positive effect on the world, because it allows all the countries to communicate and work together easier. As you can see, globalization has a positive effect on the world, and allows countries to unite.
Also I think globalization is leaving negative effect on the world today for many reasons. My first reason is jobs are lost due to outsourcing, and off shoring. This leaves people homeless and without a job especially in America. My second reason that globalization can be bad, is that the poor just get left behind and get poorer. My last reason why globalization is bad is lots of cultures get ruined. For example, now in India not many people still wear the traditional clothing. People are now wearing western clothing.

Cartoon Analysis

1. The main visual elements in this cartoon are the two parents and the kid.
2. This cartoon is about how people are using technology for everything
3. I think that the cartoonist thinks that kids don't tell their parents enough about school, and that now you can find almost everything using technology.
4. I can infer that the cartoonist feels this way, because instead of the son just talking the the father, the father could go online.
5. I'm doing the same thing as the little kid is doing
6. It relates, because in our future there will be even more use of technology
7. The people could be using some sort of technology.

Technology

Technology is the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means. I would say the top 5 most important technologies are phones, computers, cars, electricity and airplanes. I think these because without these technologies life would be much harder. I think the least important technologies are i pods, lawn mowers, toasters, TV's and blow dryers. I believe that these are the least important, because these technologies are not serving a great need. AES has the correct technology which really helps the students get there work done efficiently. In conclusion technology can help greatly or it can serve almost no point.

Kurt Vonnegut

Even though I do love the damn fool computer, i agree with Kurt Vonnegut.I strongly agree that we the people should be doing the becoming, not the technology doing the becoming. I also agree with Kurt Vonnegut's story, "Harrison Bergeron" because I do think that if people take being equal to the extreme, the world could turn the way it did in the book. Also, I agree that computers can "brainwash" you like in "Euphio". I agree because some people get really interested in them, and always use them. Over all agree with Kurt Vonnegut, but i love computers- i am a hypocrite.
