Cathy N. Davidson suggests an innovative education system, providing an emphasis in today’s digital era, and claiming that the existing education system needs to be renewed according to the new expectations of the digital era. Davidson states that,” In the last half century, many changes have occurred in the technology field, however, classrooms and educational methods have remained fairly steady for the past years as well in consequence students are not being prepared for the future advances of society.” That being said, it is important to improve and to give a change to the current educational methods, adjusting them to the existing demands of the era that we are living and taking advantage of the resources that it provides. “What if we continued to the lesson of internet itself,

Belonging to a certain group is a natural experience in the lives of individuals. Groups are categorizable by a variety of options but often expel a trait that epitomizes each individual within the group such as rank, societal merit, or simply just appearance. Behaviorism gratifies purpose within cohort mentality among those in an association due to the psychological commonalities that bring these groups together. When it comes to an individual's development within a certain group, joint mentality helps create a safe environment but often times supports ideologies of self empowerment.

One way I carefully studied this piece was I saw it as the wife saying that even if she is floating, her husband does not pay attention to her and just wants things that he wants before herself. In the story, she said, "... and I floated up, I held my knees in my arms and floated across as if I was sitting on a rug." In her mind, she could do anything imaginable, like floating, and her husband would still not admit/recognize/respond to what she had been doing. Sooner or later she'll want to fly off, just like me, only outside..." I believe what she is saying by this was that she had liked and respected that baby that even though it was raw from the cold, had to change her diaper and even the baby's little under shirt, and had pale baby skin but can float wherever it wanted. Possibly the wife thought of it as being her fault and that is why she does not want to believe that her baby has died.

Margaret Newkirk, a regular contributor to the Bloomberg periodicals, discusses the tension between the acute need for labor to clean Houston after Hurricane Harvey and the debilitating stance that the immigration policy of the American government has taken.

Newkirk’s article rails against the draconian law that threatens local officials with jail terms and sacking if they fail to enforce it. The article also takes note of the rising wage rates after the hurricane hit the region, and estimates that it they may increase faster than ever. Newkirk’s fundamental

In the presentation by Evelyn Nakano Glenn, Glenn’s main idea was on how colonial settler legacies have created a line of segregation on race and gender which determines U.S. Citizenship. Evelyn Nakano Glenn is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and is well educated in her studies of gender and women studies. Glenn used points from Joan Acker, a mentor to her, who is a feminist sociologist. The lecture circulated the topic of race and gender operating as central citizenship of America because it creates exclusion of groups. The founding fathers excluded many people such as African Americans, Women, Asians, Latinos, and American Indians. They used citizenship and rights as a gift to races. Citizenship was always contradicted

Katharina Grosse has a very interesting approach to her way of art-making, it can be thought of as both a simplistic approach yet complex as well. She likes to create cool things to look at because she enjoys looking at things. It’s a simple approach because she entertains herself and pleases herself, but her work has to be complex, fun, ridiculous, and tricky. Grosse refers to herself as “the painting trickster.” Her medium of choice is spray paint delivered by a high power, large-nozzle gun (Powell). Through this, she is able to cast her vibrant and electrifying colors onto many different canvases. Her work can be a large scaled sculpture or a smaller wall painting. Grosse makes use of vibrant colors, light, shadows, and space. Her ideas

Advertising has become one of the most powerful and effective tools that business uses to launch and brand products. Advertising is a form of communication used to persuade an audience to take some action with respect to products, ideas, or services. Everyday we are surrounded by advertisements, influencing us to make different purchases without our mind even realizing how much they really affect us. Advertising is available in many different mediums and communicated across many different forums. Of all of the forms of advertising, visual advertising has proven to be one of the most successful.

Banner ads are small rectangular advertisements that when clicked upon will take you to the advertiser’s Web site. They vary in appearances and generally advertisers will try to be creative. Banner ads allow business to not only inform the viewer, but also to create interest. Oxfam decided against using banner ads in their advertising campaign for their relief work in Sedan for Ugandan refugees.

Oxfam could have had showed pictures of the refugees as long with an enticing message to gather awareness for their cause. Although this might not generate as much
