What I Learned From The Video Essay

Have you ever wondered the differences between deaf and hearing cultures? Last week I had a chance to watch "See What I Mean" and this video gave me a humorous and enlightening look at the differences between them. In this movie "See What I Mean", issues such as attitudes toward time, taking time to say goodbye, complain about the use of phones and pagers, sharing information, giving and receiving criticism, and comments on personal appearance are explored and humorously discussed from the point of view of both cultures.

How I changed from this semester to the end of the semester is that I am not turning in late work anymore because I have learned my lesson with all my teachers. I used to turn in a lot of late work and they would not count it as a grade.

On a Wednesday evening at 9:05pm in Minnesota, an African American couple was driving in their car with a four-year-old daughter in the back seat. After being pulled aside by Joronimo Yanez, a police officer, for a broken tail light, Philando Castile, the driver, stopped his car. Officer Yanez asked Castile for his license and registration. Castile handed the officer his car license and registration, but also told him he has a weapon in his car, for which he was licensed to carry. Officer Yanez immediate words were “Don’t move!” As Castile put his hands up where the officer could clearly see them, officer Yanez shot him repeatedly four times in the arm to the horror of Castile, his girlfriend, and their four-year-old daughter. Completely stupefied by the event, Castile’s girlfriend, Reynolds, took out her phone and began streaming an online video directly to Facebook showing the immediate aftermath of the incident. In the video, Reynolds narrates the accident’s story and exclaimed, “You shot four bullets into him, sir. He was just getting his license and registration, sir. Please don’t tell me he’s dead.” While recording, her four-years-old asked “Mammy, I’m scarred!” Reynolds answered, “It’s okay, I’m right here with you.” Officer Yanez returned and ordered Reynolds on her knees out of the car. Still being recorded, the other officers on the scene asked officer Yanez of his mindset, checking if he’s ok, completing ignoring the true victim, Castile. Castile was left bleeding

Strategic staffing is important for any company. CanGo has several projects already started, with new ones being developed; a good staffing strategy is going to be a key element for the near future. The staff that CanGo has is unproductive, the staff they need is non-existent. The ASRS systems are a good idea, it would free up staff for other areas, but it would also take staff away from already important projects.

Daniel Canogar’s video instillation, Asalto Toronto, consists of a projection of pedestrians crawling up and down, approximately, four pillars outside of Union Station at 65 Front Street West. This piece symbolically demonstrates the overcoming of life’s obstacles, while engaging spectators as participants (Nuit Blanche Toronto, 2016). Furthermore, this installation is a form of ethnic dance that demonstrates universality in the struggles individuals face within a community.

On their website FEMA makes recommendations to have basic supplies on hand in the case of an emergency with a list including batteries, first aid kits, a whistle, dust mask, cell phones etc. (FEMA.gov). This is just one of the many preparation responsibilities of the government. In the research journal, “Preparing For Disaster,” Peter Katel defines the citizens who take on major preparedness behaviors as “Preppers.” (Katel, p.671) Although the title “preppers” sometimes comes with a negative connotation rooted from “Doomsday Prepper,” the actions taken by these individual may be essential for our survival. Katel, quotes a man who shares the ideas of the so called “preppers”, saying “The economic disasters, big storms- the idea is to absorb the blow and try to recover” …. “By being self-reliant, you can get to the point where you’re resilient” (Katel, p. 671). Prior to Hurricane Sandy, we saw many attempts at “absorbing the blow,” which included stocking up on food, bottled water and gas for

Hungry for Change is a thought provoking documentary produced by James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch that delves into the implications of eating a modern diet. Using pathos, facts and figures, and association, Hungry for Change delivers a meritorious performance that engages viewers and leaves them questioning their own diet and lifestyle choices. The film’s use of rhetorical and advertising strategies and its ability to captivate viewers make this an effective, life changing documentary.

For me, the video of Simon Sinek speaking on developing trust and fulfillment hit very close to home, as I must employ some of his techniques when working with new AFROTC cadets. Typically, these cadets are motivated, but lack the knowledge of how to operate efficiently in a military environment; which is to be expected. Given that most new cadets require a great deal of time and energy to teach the basic skills required to succeed in the AFROTC program, when they do begin to excel, I am rewarded with a sense of fulfillment, pride, and espirit de corps. Truly, as Sinek said, “Fulfillment comes from doing good for others” and perhaps the greatest fulfillment of AFRROTC is the ability to physically interact with and positively influence a wide variety of students from nearly every walk of life. Sinek, in his presentation warns his audience that this type of interaction is essential to obtain a sense of fulfillment, and to be mindful of distractions, such as the internet or social networking, which can replace these genuine interactions.

In order to have a successful evacuation plan, begin preparing before the evacuation is even ordered. Identify several places to go stay at during an evacuation, such as a friend’s house or a hotel. Remember to take into account any pets because not all evacuation shelters and hotels will allow pets. It is also important to chose locations in different directions in case severe weather or gridlocked highways block the path to one’s destination (Evacuation). After setting up a few evacuation destinations, the next step is to assemble the supplies needed during the evacuation. One will want to put the following items in their evacuation kit: water, food, a battery-powered radio, extra batteries, a flashlight, a first aid kit, sleeping bags, clean clothes, and some cash (Build a kit). In the event of an emergency, families should keep a portable emergency kit in the car- if they own one- at all times.(Evacuation). Families who own a vehicle should, “keep a full tank of gas in it if an evacuation seems likely. Keep a half a tank of gas in it at all times in case of an unexpected need to evacuate,” (Evacuation). It is important to always have some gas in the car in case the gas stations are closed or unable to pump gas due to power outages (Evacuation). Prior to an evacuation, one must also prepare their house. This includes securing loose rain gutters, trimming trees, and purchasing a generator (Hurricanes). It also entails a

They always sing their songs repeatedly, so the member of their tribe will not forget about their songs.

Also, in your emergency evacuation kit that you should have ready at all times, make sure to include about a two-week supply or more of any medications your pet takes, a two-week supply of dog food, and extra emergency water for your dog.

I believe the video is very empowering. It makes the case that our world is to connected to technology; as though it is part of our skin. I find the video to be very true in this context. People think because they have three-hundred friends or three-hundred followers, that they are in some way better than an individual with only 80 friends. Many times they don’t know half of these people. In addition, I found the video to be very relatable. Many times he cuts to a scene of children indoors playing video games and he states of how the park is empty, with no children in sight. I remember when I was younger, I would love going to the park to play catch or anything in general. I also remember playing cards with my friends in my house also every

The last few things I'm going to be taking is food, money, first aid, and a book. These are helpful items such as money and a first aid, so I won't get hurt nor to run out of food or supples. Water is one of the most important items because water lets us survive during the hot weather or any type of weather. A first aid is important as well. A first is used whenever we have injuries or have cuts. The final item is a book. A book is helpful just in case you aren't doing nothing one, and you can always relax and read a
