Unit 1 Assignment 2 Video Analysis

Ever since technology began so prominent in the modern world, can anyone remember going outside for more than 30 minutes and not see a cell phone or computer? Probably not, as these pieces of technology have become so ingrained in people’s lives, no one wants to leave their home without still being connected. And there is no reason to, as friends, family, and strangers share the same sentiments. Unplugging from technology is not only a decision people don’t make for personal reasons, it simply isn’t conducive to a productive life, as many people’s work and social lives wouldn’t be the same, if exist at all, without being connected to other people or the internet with just a single touch.

Every person in America is guilty of this almost daily in some way or another, and that is wasting food by either letting it rot in your refrigerator, taking too much at dinner and throwing what is left into the garbage for some varmint to rummage through later, or even in the production process by throwing away a perfectly good potato because it doesn’t meet the size requirement for processing. In America, it’s something we don’t think about; rather it’s just a habit that causes us to lose money on that wasted food. Something we seem to forget about, however, is the fact that there are starving people in other parts of the world that could have benefitted from that. Contrariwise, American’s are not the only ones that can be accused of

When people ask me what I think the biggest problem in the America is today, my answer doesn’t really hit me until I least expect it to. I grew up loving family get togethers, celebrations and any other event resulting in my family going all out on cooking and making sure there are seconds for everyone there. No body left a family get together hungry. I remember sitting down many times and not being able to finish all of the food I thought I could. The silent walk to the trash can trying to have let no one see everything I wasted, I humbly slid past the crowd. It’s not until that very moment a family member says “You’re not going to eat that?” “That is such a waste of food.” Just then it would hit me and I would feel bad. Reminiscing on all

Nicholas Carr is the author of the relatable book The Shallows: What the Internet is doing to Our Brains, a book that discusses the unassailable subject that many countries face today. This problem does not only present itself in teenagers, but everyone been using technology more often than ever before. Almost everyone in America is carrying a so-called smart phone in his or her pocket, but Carr questions the devices that people use. The Shallows give valid reasons to be concerned with whether new technology is smart, or the peoples’ lack of ability to live without internet access just makes it seem this way.

I found the signing statements the most interesting in Chapter Seven. A signing statement is an announcement made by the president at the time of signing a bill into law. This is used sometimes to show the presidents’ interpretation of the new law and their predictions of the many benefits of the new law. It also has been used to identify sections of the law that are considered improper or unconstitutional. There have been many signing statements throughout history but many of them were not recorded.

If I was going to college next year I would want to have a personal class about sports and athletes. The video made Monsters University look like a good college. It looked like the students had a lot of freedom when it came to choosing classes and clubs .I think a lot of people should go here because of they much more choices. You could probably even create your own club if you don’t like the choices

To begin with, one important thing I have learned through this experience is that there is a digital divide that exists within our society. There is a group of people who are the technology ‘haves’, and these people have laptops, iPhone and access to technology. On the other hand,

For the Mini- Project of Unit 7, my group has filmed a talkshow. I probably love it, but in my opinion, the video it’s too short and we didn’t talk much about descendophobia, a really range phobia of being afraid walking the stairs. Also, I expected that other members will talk more in the video, of course me too.

Was the Video creative and did the Speaker show in your opinion an enthusiasm for the topic presented?

During our visits to help with housing construction in local villages, I was able to offer a simple meal of rice and beans to children and elderly adults and watch the pure joy erupt on their faces as they were given a proper meal, perhaps the first full meal they had for several days. In stark contrast, we take for granted the availability of substantial quantities of food and drink every single day, something we are fortunate and extremely privileged to have available to us . We can't afford to be wasteful, or picky with what we eat when so many of our fellow mankind are living day to day not knowing where their next meal might come from, or if it will come at

Steven Spielberg, who is an famous American director, producer, and screenwriter, said “Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we're too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone” (Brainyquote.com). The lifestyle for today's world is totally different from our parents world. As the days go on it’s a big gap between us, as in education methods, social media, and all the advanced technology in our lives. Untimely, there are many forms of technology in today’s world that is different from our parents world.

knowledge. The best part is, it is fun and develops interaction. This video will improve mainly decoding words and phonic awareness.

The competencies that I will focus on throughout this paper are developmentally appropriate practice, special needs strategies, and modeling fairness and respect. Several of the examples that I observed fell under the same practice. The content of the video presented a classroom teacher who actively participated with his classroom of students. I am beyond amazed at how interactive the teacher remained throughout the entire video. While watching the video, I learned there several aspects of learning that can be built into one center.

In this age, people need to be on their electronics. If you are not aware of this already, you are also most likely part of that majority of society. Look around and put down your phone and you will also see what I see. If we didn’t have our GPS, how would we get somewhere? If we didn’t have our cell phone, how would we tell our parents we are ready to get picked up from practice? Cell phones, laptops and electricity have become a necessity in this age and I believe that because of this, people would not be able to handle life without

Hunger is one of the key problems in the world today. Not just in small portions of the world, but all over. Americans today rely on our food system and take the amount of food we have for granted. What Americans aren’t realizing, is that every piece of food we throw away, a child is starving somewhere else. Not only are we wasting the food we buy, but 40 percent is just going to waste. Newsweek, Bonnie Tsui, magazine publisher says, “Forty percent of all food is never eaten, and this rejection of “ugly food”—the misshapen or imperfect produce that gets thrown out before it ever hits the supermarket display—is a major contributor to food waste.” Americans have too many options when it comes to picking out their produce. If it doesn't look clean enough, they choose another one. America wastes a ton of food every day, instead of focusing on which produce looks better to eat, we should be focusing on cutting down the amount of food we waste and saving money.
