Persuasive Analysis Of A Half Earth

This is relevant to economics in a few ways. First is the fact that in the beginning of the video it discussed the 2008 recession, where the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted over 700 points. This caused many

This video is effective at explaining the current situation and what needs to change. It targets the audience by encouraging the shared values of community. Generally, through out the video positive behavior is demonstrated and encouraged. I think the message was inspiring because even though the residents are faced with a major life altering situation they are here to share their story and information to influence Canadians to consider the need for new energy and the source of energy by showing the world what is being lost. This was best illustrated by Boon’s statement, when they tell the audience about what their future looks likes, if the project proceeds. They created an effective image looking out their homes window at

The video shows on how 40% of young people don't work or are in stuck in poverty which can affect the U.S. economy and make the victim of poverty suffer many health problems not just physically but mentally as well. Guy Ryder does provide a form of solution to poverty, it is to increase wages and to give everyone a chance to work so they can have a chance for a better life.

In the U.S., the problems occurred within the context of a $15 trillion economy and in a country that still has the trust of the world.” Which shows that we need to continue to grow and not stop in mid tracks because stopping will bring global

There were many points throughout the video, introduced by Ken Robinson, that I can relate to with my experience in school. A topic that I could indubitably relate to is a smaller class size. For example, I only graduated with seventy people in my entire grade and I come from a public school. My class size, from freshman to senior year on average, was around twenty students. Yet, even with such a small school, I always felt like teachers were too busy to help us personally when we needed it. The teachers would continually answer any questions we had very vaguely. Which in turn, left us to question ourselves if we were correct.

This documentary really didn’t speak to me in any way. I argued that these people should have moved or obtained a new or different education. Even getting a new skill or trade would have been better than what they did which was surrender themselves to this mining job as being an end all be all. The argument against mine was that it’s maybe not so easy for these men to gain a new career or get another job. To that I say it’s never easy. It doesn’t have to be easy to make change in your life. For me to move for a third time in my adult life in order to go to school for nursing wasn’t easy for me. To go into a career where I’ll need to keep up multiple certifications and need to continuously learn new skills won’t be easy. I think they had other options to explore other than a mine. I don’t have a ton of compassion for those who just say that it won't be easy or that they may have to take a risk to better not only their own lives but the lives of their children and future generations to

Reflections. I thought the Andrew youn video” 3 reasons how we can win the fight against poverty” is a great initiative and good idea to alleviate poverty. I appreciated the thought he is sharing in the video and how its possible to end poverty in our current generation among farmers, particularly the sub-Saharan African region. It’s surprising how the scale of which to provide farmers with tools, supplies, education, etc. is surprisingly small when compared to eastern map of the USA. I think the work he is doing in his own fund of running it is remarkable. I strongly believe his program is creating more jobs especially in under-developed countries. I liked the idea how the whole program itself

Texas is losing their fight against same-sex couples here on Earth so now, they look to reignite the battle up in space. Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert announced to the world on Wednesday that Mars is no place for gay astronauts and NASA may be responsible for the end of days.

The videos assigned for this week were not only interesting but also intense, definitely full of vital information. I found the Missing White Woman Syndrome video very interesting, for it brought up a really important point, that being *fear of victimization. In fact, is has been proven that even though crime in the U.S. has declined, fear of crime is still a huge issue. However, I do believe that it is mostly because of the extensive coverage crimes get nowadays, mass media has influenced the way we consume news and their power has increased significantly. Moreover, as mentioned in The Hidden Meanings in Kids Movies, media can really shape the way our perspectives are formed and this is more significant since the new generation grow up consuming

Even though the video was overall well-done for it to have been done by amateurs, the group session appeared to be too smooth. No conflicts arose which seemed unusual for a beginning session as discussed during class. I also wish the social worker would have been more inclusive in allowing the group members to play a role in creating group goals, instead of them already being created. Seeing the group sign a contract on video was a good

Renowned author Pearl S. Buck was born in 1892 in Hillsboro, West Virginia. Her childhood as well as her nuptial life was spent in China in which she obtained crucial material that would later inspire her novels upon life in China; the impoverished society in which she resided allowed her to truly glimpse the struggles of the common man as well as the aristocratic society. With the publication of her second novel, The Good Earth, Buck gained recognition through the Pulitzer Prize and the Howells Medal. Buck then received the Nobel Prize in literature, the first American woman to receive such. Upon Buck's return to the United States, she expressed her passion in American civil rights and women's rights, establishing numerous associations and

During the video, I had a number of different feelings about what I saw. One being sadness for those who have to go to food shelves to survive, the ones who no matter how hard they tried can't find a way out of poverty because it just continues to follow them everywhere that they go. I felt sorry for those who have lost loved ones, and those whose families flat out fell apart. And especially those who had a family to take care of that couldn't. Those are the people that I feel bad for because they were counted on the most. I also found it difficult to wrap my head around how much poverty that there is in the world, I used to only think that there was just a handful but I now know that's not the case.

My reaction to the first video, which touched on ethics in the 21st century, was slightly cynical. According to the video, the idea of business ethics is becoming increasingly popular due to the high rate of corporate greed and corruption. To combat this

One talking point of the video which I did not entirely agree with was when the narrator referred to every industrial product

I told a classmate about this video and all he said was “who cares it's not our problem”. It may not be our problem directly but we should still care that people are dying everyday because people are stupid and don’t know how to use their brain. The world needs to know the difference between right
