Power

Power is the ability to create the illusion of having control over others. Although many believe that power is the ability to control others. I on the other hand strongly disagree with that. The following paragraphs will explain why power is the illusion of having control over others.
For example: In the book Animal Farm many of the animals believed that Mr. Jones had power therefore they had to obey his orders. However it was simply his human form that created the illusion that he hade power over them. Which is why when the animals took matters into there own hands they were able to defeat him.
Another example of this is royalty, such as the queen or king. Because their considered royalty it creates the illusion that they have power over you. But in reality they do not. They could instruct you not to harm another person. But that doesn’t stop you from harming them. It simply puts you on alert. But it does not fully control what you do.
One last example of this is when it seems that parents can control you. Again it’s because they are considered parents that they appear to have power. The only reason you obey them is because you have common sense. So if they told you to stay in your room. You most likely will, but you don’t have to. Therefore, they can not actually control you.
To conclude Power is not just the ability to have control over someone. It’s the ability to create the illusion of having control over others. Not the other way round.

Cartoon Analysis

In this cartoon some of the main visual elements are:
-A family sitting at a dining table

-A kid probably telling his parents to look at his blog to find out about his day

-Parents saying "Well, Yes, We Could Read Your Blog......Or You Could Just Tell Us About Your School Day."

The issue this cartton is demonsrating is that with the use of modern day tchnolegy, people are slowly becoming more lazy about even just the silplest tasks. This is an idea that kurt Vonnegut also put forward. The cartoonist's oppinion about this topic is again that the over all effect of technolegy on people, is that it makes them more lazy. The evidince i have to support the position of the cartoonist on this issue is how the parents ask the the kid about his day, and how the cartoonist underlined the word "Tell."

• Thursday- Peer edit in class
• Friday- Make corrections and last ajustments!

Evaluating Vonnegut Quote

After reading Kurt Vonnegut's quote on Luddites and technolegy. I would have to disagree, as well as agree on what he says. I agree with his definition of luddites, "a person who doesn’t like newfangled contraptions." However, i dont beleive that what he says about technolegy is completely accurate. He states that you as a peron should be advancing and doing not the computer. And i think on some level that is a valid point. Although, i now wonder, would we be able to know, advance, and learn as quickly with technolegy such as comuters? I dont necesarly think we would. So what Kurt vonnegut states in his quote is both correct and incorrect. Therefore my conclusion statement will be, "feel free to use technolegy, but dont become completely dependant on it."

Technolegy

Technology is a man made creation designed to make human life easier. This is why I think that the improvement of technology, and technology usage should be increased, and continued to be updated in schools. I believe this because when you talk about the introduction of technology in schools, you're not saying that the computer's doing you're work for you, but simply that it's speeding up the process of accomplishing work. However, not all technology is a good thing, or a necessary factor, Such as: Hairdryers, plastic bags, vacuums, or atomic bombs. Technology that is very useful includes items like: computers, compasses, pens, light bulbs, boats. Without many of these things we wouldn’t be where we are today.

Thinking About Globalization

Some of the main visual elements in this cartoon are; a young angry girl, a older man reading a news paper, and a speech bouble saying "No you may not outsource your homework to India." The issue that the cartoonist is expressing is that becuase of globalizatiion, outsourcing in piticular, people in already delveloped nations are slowly becoming lazy about there work. And there becoming lazy about there work because they are having it done by other people, and making a profit out of it. I this case, the girl is lazy because shes not doing her work, but she gets a profit (good grades). Based oon what I've gathered so far, i would to say that the cartoonist does not like the concept of outsourcing. This specific cartoon relates to the concept of globalization, because it is one of the ten flattener's. Some other techniques the cartoonist could have used to make this drawing more persuasive is probably add in a line for the girl such ass : "why not? The work gets done doesn't it?" or "Why should i have to do may work?" that would probably make this piece's idea clearer.

3 Most Valuable

The 3 most important things i learned from the UBD project are; how rapidly the populatioin of india is in creasing, how the level of TB cases increases becaause of the rising population, and how unsanitary the Delhi slums conditions were. These three things are important because they ditermine the future of India! If the population is very high, there'll be more TB cases. The more TB cases, the more people will die. And the more people will die the more the econemyt will plumet, and the more the econemy plumets, THE FASTER INDIA WILL GO INTO A STATE OF DEPRETION!
