Posted by Alexander Held in ENG1-008 onKessler World of 100 Analysis
Posted by Jeffrey Kessler in GLOBAL-004 onThis chart shows how many people would speak a variety of languages if the world were only 100 people (with the same percentages as the current world). Most interestingly, there is a high amount of "other" languages spoken in the world.
This chart, using the same "world of 100" methodology, describes the world's cell phone usage. Notably, my guess for internet users was nearly spot-on, whereas it was greatly exaggerated by the rest of the class. In addition, it was interesting to see how the class viewed technology in terms of internet users being almost equivalent to cell phone subscribers.
This chart used the world of 100 method to compare religions. While I overstated the first two, it is rather interesting to see how accurate the class average came to the real number. Had my first two not been exaggerated, my results for the rest would've most likely been in line with the class and real results.
Overall, the answer for which I was most accurate was internet usage (where my guess was overestimated by only one person). This is most likely due to my technological experience and understanding of the internet. The answers for which I was least accurate were with literacy and electricity. I underestimated the percentage of households with electricity and similarly did so with education. The best attribution for such a result is that I have seen many activist programs for increasing overall literacy and technology access across the world; this caused me to over-emphasize these issues. The answer for which I was most shocked was that 75% of the world currently subscribes to a cell phone. This was most interesting as many other values for technology access are much lower. Thus, cell phones have become so widespread that they are a great way of expanding communication and internet access across the world.
World of 100 Analysis
Posted by Emma Hersh in GLOBAL-004 onReligion
I was closest with muslim, other and non-religious, which was not all that surprising because I was fairly certain that a large chunk of the 100 would affiliate with the Muslim religion given all of the Middle-Eastern demographics. I was, however, not expecting to be so far off with Buddhist and Christian. In my mind those are the fairly equal because of the number of countries that might believe them as a main religion.
Language
The most interesting part of this one was the number of people who spoke other languages, I always knew that there were other languages but I was unaware of just how many and how prominent they were in the world. I was surprised by how few spoke Arabic and Chinese (even though Chinese still had a higher number across the board) because I thought those were spoken more widely. If fewer languages were in Other, it definitely wouldn't have been as high. I was also surprised by how many points Malay-Indonesia and how few English got. English because though only a few countries speak it as the main language, I thought many spoke it as a secondary language.
Geography
As far as geography goes, I should have thought more ahead of the amount of people in Asia and how few people live in North America given that North America is basically only two countries and Asia has a huge amount with some of the most populated cities in the world. Given that thought process though, I was counting on Latin America because of the highly populated cities. I was most surprised by the amount of people who live in North America because it seems like one of the main places people immigrate to from other countries.
Analysis of Total
I was surprisingly close with certain parts of technology, for instance the amount of people who own computers (22) and are internet users (30) were spot on. With that said, I went into those with a fairly cynical view of the world. Thinking of the amount of people who I've met in various countries all use the internet, though they might not own a computer necessarily. I understood that a lot of the world is impoverished, but didn't realize until the answers came back what it means to be privileged in certain countries versus others. Given these views, I was really surprised at how far away I was from guessing the poverty in the world. The question was how many people live on more than 2 U.S dollars per day (52) and how many live on less (48). Though I'm relieved (and at the same time disturbed) that it's about half and half, I understand that 2 U.S dollars per day is almost nothing the United States. It's almost a forth of minimus wage per hour in this country, which is really not enough to live off of. Most people in our school spend more than 2 dollars on food every day.
Another category I was interested in was Urban and Rural dwellers. My guess was 70 would be urban dwellers and 30 rural; however, I was off again. The real statistics are urban 51 and rural 49. This caught me by surprise. I thought because cities are such a huge market for jobs and international affairs they would be more populated with people who live, work, and raise a family there. That the amount of people living in rural areas would be fewer because of fewer job opportunities and because of generally fewer people to more land, whereas cities tend to be the opposite.
When tallying the amount of people per category, I realized that I just don't know much about the living environments, income, death rates, form of government, etc of those in the surrounding countries.

Posted by Zillah Hernandez in GLOBAL-003 onFor the language graph i basically thought this was an interesting graph because my answerswhere close to the correct answers. The whole process to this was kinda hard because for my answers i didn't know how much i should have put for this language, so i just thought about what i see now, and thats mostly english speaking and spanish speaking, that's why i made them both the highest from my choices.
I was surprised when i seen that my answers were close to the correct answers and the class average, so i already knew that my graph made sense.
This graph is Electricity, and basically you would be looking at how many people would and would not have electricity. Im not surprised that my answers were close to the correct answers because in all my graphs i had close answers, but if you see the class average actually had the most of not having electricity and the correct had the lowest, i would actually thing the the correct was going to be more then what they have up there.
BAR CHARTS
In ma Bar Chart #1: Languages, has 10 categories and i've noticed that my answers was kinda close to the Class Average and My answers was way off from the Correct answers.
Bar Chart #2: Age, has 3 categories and i've noticed that My Answers were some what close to the Class Averages and the Correct answers.
Bar Chart #3: Electricity, has 2 categories and i've noticed that My Answers and The Correct Answers were so close to each other and the Class Averages were so low, the rest weren't close to the class average. Not surprised though.

La Perspectiva de Father McEnroe (Guernica por Pablo Picasso)
Posted by Dylan Long in SP4-003 on
Me llamo Father McEnroe. Yo soy un cura/ el sacerdote en la clase media. Mis valores son que soy el director de una escuela católica para niños. Mis creencias son que todos deberian recibir los derechos y privelegios mismos. Para mi, deberían recibirlos sin embargo la raza, la origen étnico, el género, ó las creencias. En otras palabras, soy un igualitario. Soy un católico, y creo en dios. Soy el cura/ el sacerdote de una iglesia en Chile. Los realidades de mi época son muy feas. El gobierno es muy inestable, y los razones detras del caos en Chile estan causando tensión entre los Chileanos y el gobierno/ el militario. Entonces, esta época esta resultando en una época muy violenta y miedoso.
Como lo veo yo, cuando Pablo Picasso usó solo blanco, negro y gris, estaba omitiendo el detalle del color, porque ya hay muchísimo detalle con las personajes. Si tendría muchísmo detalle con las personas y el color, sería bastante. Estoy de acuerdo con su decisión a no usar muchos colores. Casi todos los seres humanos y animales en este mural no son muy normál, y son muy feos. Hay unas cosas ordinarios, como una bela, una ventana, una espada, una bombilla, y tambien hay animales y personas. Sin embargo, las partes del cuerpo de la mayoria de las personas en este pedazo de arte son muy extraños; no son la forma correcta, no son del tamaño correcto, las uñas de los pies y manos no son de la forma o tamaño correcto, y sus caras son muy muy feas. Hay unas animales que miran como dos o tres animales. Los cuellos de casi todos las personajes son alterados y torcido. Hay mucho detalle, pero falta mucha color.
En Chile durante el año 1973, Pinochet inició un golpe de estádo hacia Allende, con el permiso del E.E.U.U. Antes que eso, todo de Chile estaban protestando con manifestaciónes. El gobierno de Allende luchába para contener los manifestaciónes, y el ganó. Aunque ganó contra los Chileános, usó metodos horibles para ganar. Sería mejor si usó unos tácticos menos horíbles. Torturabanlos, matabanlos, y en generál, uso violencia para ganar. Así lo ve Allende: No importa como nosotros eliminanlos, Lo más importante es que eliminamos los partidarios. Cuando yo pienso del golpe de estado de 1973, la cosa que viene a mente primero es tristesa. La guerra se desgarra todo la comunidad, y destruye la paz. Es una verguenza. Ahora, voy a hablar de que representa o simboliza los objetos en el cuadro de arte Guernica, por Pablo Picasso. Veo muchas personas y animales que son muy tristes y en la anguista. Estos emociónes podrían ser causados por el hecho que hay muchas cosas muy miedosos pasando en Chile en esta epoca. Las personajes que miren muy tristes podrian ser tan tristes porque son muy agitados con la situacion politico en Chile. Pablo Picasso podría haber pintado esta obra para expresar sus opiniones sobre muchas temas diferentes, como el gobierno, los clases economicas (la clase alta, la clase obrera, etc.), y sus creencias religiosas. La obra me hace sentir muy triste.
Pienso que Guernica por Pablo Picasso es una obra fantastica, y que transmite unas mensajes muy interesantes. Escogé a Guernica porque ya sabía un poco sobre la obra antes de escribir esta analisis. Me llama la atención porque hay unas personajes muy extraños. Soy en acuerdo con el pintor.

Posted by Jason Davis onThis bar graph compares my predictions of global poverty to class averages and real statistics. I was surprised to see that more people in the world live on more than 2 dollars a day than less, but after thinking more about it, I believe that this wasn't an accurate way of measuring poverty. Although the portion of the country that lives on less than 2 USD a day is small, I think that even if you live on less than 7 USD, your still fairly poor.
This is the comparison of Urban dwellers VS. Rural Dwellers. Initially I made the inference that more people would live in cities because the were so densely populated, but I didn't go with my instinct because I figured there is more rural land than urban globally. I was fairly off form the real data but I'm not entirely surprised.
Languages spoken was probably the most surprising data for me to analyze. I always thought that Arabic, English, and Spanish were some of the more spoken languages around the world. Although China is a huge country, I didn't think that the percentage of people that spoke chinese would be larger than Arabic or English. My class average showed that many of my peers believed English was the most spoken language.

Posted by Matthew Ferry in AMHIST-006 onMy presentation that I chose to do is a video with a verbal explanation of how individual and systemic change occurs.
My Video answers the questions of how exactly individuals bring about change and for what purpose. My video also looks how how systemic change occurs and why it does.

I felt the best way I could show what I think causes change would be using a visual representation. I felt that just writing an explanation would be boring so I wanted it to be something to look at with a little captions to read.
When change happens I believe it is caused by actions that a group of people or person do not agree with. The group/person react with actions that may or may not change it.
Does the current president agree with Teddy Roosevelt and what he thought about monopolies?

When looking through the data that the class came up with, the actual averages and my own, I was pretty shocked. When doing this survey, I tried to keep in mind that not all countries are like America but also not all are the complete opposite either. When it came to the question "Those who do not have access to clean drinking water." and "Those who have access to drinking water." it took me awhile to come up with percentages. At first, I wanted to give a high percentage to those who do have access to clean water, but then I remembered that come countries/places do not, so I lowered my percentage.
After comparing my percentages to the classes, I thought "okay, well we're pretty much on the same page." Once i saw how low the percentage was for those who do not have access to drinking water, I was shocked. I expected it to be higher, but then I was glad because the percentage I had was high. Not only were my percentages high for this graph, but I placed a high percentage for males who would have a secondary education.
From my understanding, most people complete high school. I didn't have knowledge for those who were in other countries, but I assumed that more people would attend school than not. When I looked at the class average, mine was higher. Once I looked at the actual averages I was confused. The real average is much higher than the class' average and as well as my own. About 65% of males do not attend secondary education, which is shocking. However, once I went on to look at my next graph (poverty) it made sense as to why the numbers come out the way they do .
I said that more people lived on more than $2 a day than those who lived on less than $2 a day. 2 dollars isn't much and yearly, it comes out to about $730. In the United States this is beyond poor.
When looking at the class average, it was split close to the middle as usual. But when looking at the real averages, it was almost split down the middle between the two as well. I didn't expect for that to happen, but when I realized how much poverty there is, it made more sense as to why the secondary education averages came out to how they did .
For my graphs, I wasn't really accurate for any of them but the closest one was for poverty. Most of my knowledge is off of what I experience in my country besides things I've seen in movies or hear about. As mention ed, the graph for secondary education shocked me the most because I just assumed that most people went to high school, but once seeing the poverty it made sense. Not knowing about other places and countries threw me off and I was just going by what I experience myself and things I've heard.

El Cargador de Flores, Patricio Infante
Posted by Seamus Kirby in SP4-003 onYo soy el papa de Gonzalo. Estoy de la clase alta, pero no soy completamente un
momio. No estoy izquierdista también, soy como en la mitad. Por lo tanto, no quiero luchar
para los comunistas ni los capitalistas. Yo cree en los oportunidades
iguales para los pobres y los ricos, pero no quiero vivir en un país socialista. Pienso que el socialismo, y Allende esta bueno para
la mayoría de Chile, pero no para mi, y por eso quiero mover a un otro país,
como Italia. Estoy de acuerdo con el cura,
Father McEnroe, y su decisión de poner los personas del clase obrera en nuestra escuela por gratis.
El pintura es “El Portador de los Flores” por
Diego Rivera. Los colores son my brillantes, pero al mismo tiempo son oscuros.
Los flores, y la ropa de el hombre esta muy brillante, pero la ropa de la mujer
es muy oscuro. El tono de el pintura es muy oscuro y triste, aunque están colores brillantes, y
flores. Los flores parecen ser malo, y feo, en vez de bien y bonito, si no
porque no miran bueno, pero porque son llevado por esto hombre que parece que
sufra mucho. El dibujo representa un hombre que lleva muchos flores, y mira que
es demasiado pesado para el, y necesita la ayuda otra mujer. Los dos miran como
indígenas, y llevan ropa muy simple, pero bonita. Están en un lugar muy simple,
y genérico, en vez de algo famoso, y por eso la
atención
esta totalmente en los personas y objetos en la dibujo, en vez de el fondo.
En
1973, estaba viviendo en Chile, mi patria,
con mi familia, y criada. Soy rico,
pero nuestro presidente era socialista, que era malo para mi y las personas del
clase alta. Era mucho tensión entre
los comunistas que soportaban a Allende, y los capitalistas, que no estaban de acuerdo con Allende.
Recuerde el día cuando el general Pinochet lanzo un golpe de estado contra Allende, porque quiere derrocar el gobierno de
Allende, y poner su propio. Ellos dijeron que Allende se suicidio. Para mi, el
hombre llevando los flores representa la clase obrera, y la mujer ayudando al
hombre representa el socialismo y la gobierno de Allende. No creo que el
socialismo es malo, solo creo que el socialismo es malo para mi, pero bueno
para las personas pobres. El obra traje la mensaje de que los personas pobres
necesitan ayuda, porque sin ayuda van a caer debajo del gran pesado del trabajo
que necesitan hacer. También traje la mensaje que los personas de la clase
obrera hace su trabajo para las personas del clase alta, porque los flores son
un lujuria para las personas ricos. Creo que Diego Rivera pinto eso pintura
porque quería demostrar el trabajo duro que los personas pobres hace para las
personas ricas, y que las personas pobres son un grupo muy apoyazo de otros, y
que ayuda a otros personas de pocos
recursos. Creo que los flores son algo que el va a vender a mi, o alguien
de mi familia. Me haga que siente muy afortunado para ser del clase alta, y me
aprecia el trabajo de las personas del clase obrera.
A mi me gusta este obre mucho. Escogí este obra porque tenia un mensaje muy grande e importante. El mensaje es que los personas pobres hagan mucho trabajo para los personas ricos. Estoy de acuerdo con esto mensaje, porque sin personas pobres, yo no será rico.
Alte al Fuego, Juana Alicia, Father McEnroe- DRAFT
Posted by Julian Makarechi in SP4-003 onMe llamo Padre McEnroe (Father McEnroe). Tengo setenta y siete años. Mis valores son la igualdad y el resepcto para todo el mondo. Soy un sacerdote y un directór a una escuela privado. Yo prefiero Salvador Allende más de General Augosto Pinochet. Soy de la clase alta porque estado trabajando para muchas años a Santo Patricio. La realidad es que para mi hay muchos desacuerdos entre la clase obrera y la clase alta. Están muy irrespetuoso entre ellos. No estoy de acuerdo con toda la violencia. Así lo veo los pobres merecen las mismas educación y oportunidades en la vida que los ricos.
Este mural se llama “Alte al Fuego” y fue pintado por Juana Alicia. En este mural hay una mujer hispána parece que viene de trabajo. Ella esta vestido en todo azul y tiene una bolsa. En el fondo hay muchas montañas, arboles y un sol que ilumina todo el mural. Los rayos de el sol dan luz a partes específicos de el mural. Juana Alicia hizo un buen trabajo con los colores de los diferentes arboles y plantas. La mujer esta suplente sobre el suelo. El cielo junto al sol esta mas brillante que el cielo detras de las montañas que esta muy oscuro. En la primara sección hay dos manos arriba grandes y oscuro. Hay muchas armas de fuego que están señalando verso los manos y la mujer. Pero la mujer no parece de estar amenazado. El tono de la obra es muy serio y un poco triste.

1. Explain your choice of presentation format.
We used a Prezi because it was an interactive way to answer the question and support it with facts from our business unit. A Prezi is very interesting since your viewer is involved in your presentation and it takes you step by step through the presentation. It was also a an easy way to include our cartoons in our presentation.
2. Two sentences about your answer to the essential question.
Change is usually caused by the actions of an individual. One person can influence a thousand more to support their cause. Both President Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt have made an impact on American society through individual change. Not only did they create change, they also maintained the change they created throughout their presidency.
3. What questions do you sill have about business in America?
How many of President Roosevelt and President Franklin D. Roosevelt's policies are still in place today? What are some of the acts that congress can pass to further improve regulation in the business sector?

2. My answer to the EQ we chose is that the role of the individual in creating and sustaining change is to go against all odds and defend the plan in the success to keep his reform. Also to keep with his change and making sure people stick by it.
3. My question that I still have about business in America is when has a plan of change failed and why?

Keiasha Lumpkins
Posted by Keisha Lumpkins in AMHIST-006 onWhat I decided to create was a wordle/picture collage of different words and phrases about Theodore Roosevelt. Also I wanted the different cartoons that we looked over in class about the Anti-Trust law, and different monopolies. I did this type of format because I didn't want to make something big that cold confused people but each word describes Teddy and what he has done. I also used the quote "All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward." - Ellen Glasgow. I used this because it relates to the essential questions that we have to answer.
Nothing will get accomplished unless someone steps up and take charge. Also that causes change. The essential questions are all about change. Different systems can't change if no one wants it to change. It takes a leader to take the courage to put change forward for the future. When one individual takes action in to changing something, then other individuals follow after. A good example would be Teddy and Obama. A lot of people compare Obama at times to Teddy because change is happening. A lot of policies are changing because of Obama. Obama wanted to take charge and see what past Presidents agendas were. It seems as though he picked Teddy as one of them. Teddy Roosevelt changes inspired Obama to make more changes.
Some questions that I have are, what other presidents wanted to follow in Teddy Roosevelt place? Or at least be as successful as Teddy?

In this graph it seems that I was closer to what the correct answer is than that of the class average, when it comes to the people who have safe drinking water. In the second part of the graph I am still on the right track it seems. It is interesting that the class average is basically the same on both parts of the graph. i would have thought that the class or I would have been on the right path to the correct answer. However the correct answer for this graph seems much more drastic than most of the class assumed.
In this graph I was a bit closer to the actual answer than the class average. I expected the literacy for woman to be a higher than what it is. However I live in a place where it is expected for women to be to read and write, it is considered normal. As a result of this my numbers are skewed. I think the class average is very optimistic, even with my optimism I know that the class assumption is way too even to be true.
In this graph I expected North America to have a higher percentage than it actually does. I tried to keep in mind the size of each country because the size of the actual country would effect its percentage in the graph. I did not expect the percentage for Asia to be as high as it is. I thought that Africa and Asia would be closer to each other in number with Europe and North America just behind them. I am also surprised that the the number of from the Caribbean is , in my opinion, much higher than I assumed.
Analysis:
I was most accurate to the correct answer for the drinking water. I think out of all of the categories I picked I think my optimism didn't effect my thinking when I considering the numbers for who had and did not have safe drinking water. My most inaccurate assumption was graph with the geography. I tried to keep in mind the size of the actual country because I knew this would effect the numbers. Though I knew this my numbers were still very wrong. I believe the reason I did so is because I thought that North America would be higher that it was.
The real answer that shocked me the most was the drinking water. Originally I thought that that statistic would be backwards with clean water being the smaller percentage. I know that humanity doesn't use most of the worlds water we re-used all of the water we use so I thought as a result of this there would would more with less access to clean water.
I think that Most of my assumptions were a mixture of what I learned throughout the years and what I am exposed to on a daily. I learned about the facts of the world in school but I live in only one part of it. Where live may have effected some of decisions what thinking of the numbers I assigned in each category.

In this graph it seems that I was closer to what the correct answer is than that of the class average, when it comes to the people who have safe drinking water. In the second part of the graph I am still on the right track it seems. It is interesting that the class average is basically the same on both parts of the graph. i would have thought that the class or I would have been on the right path to the correct answer. However the correct answer for this graph seems much more drastic than most of the class assumed.

Business Unit Reflection
Posted by Manna-Symone Middlebrooks in AMHIST-006 onExplain your choice of presentation format:
-We chose VoiceThread as our method of presentation because it allowed us to be more personal with our learning by adding voice comments to the presentation. This medium was also new to us, and we thought that it might be an interesting way of answering the Essential Question.
Answer your chosen Essential Question in two sentences:
Essential Question: What is the role of the individual in creating and sustaining change?
-The role of the individual in creating and sustaining change is either to disrupt the current flow of events with intent to create sustainable change, or continue with the flow so that establish change can be maintained. Change can not continue to exist and benefit the whole if these two roles are not fulfilled at some point in time.
What questions do you still have about business in America?
-Because there evidence has supported a cycle of business in America, does that signify that adapted versions of past events lie in the future of America?

Posted by Marina Pyfrom in AMHIST-006 on1. Explain your choice of presentation format.
I decided to create a wordle to represent the facts about Teddy Roosevelt. Within the wordle there were words that described him as person and what he did throughout his presidency. I did a mini collage to show how a leader is born. There pictures showing the President growing up and becoming a great leader. I named my presentation "The Evolution of a Born Leader."
2. Two sentences about your answer to the essential question.
Change only happens when an individual takes action. I say individual because that individual can influence a group to support the change their trying to attain. Teddy Roosevelt has definitely made a great impact throughout his presidency. Not only did he fight for change, he actually made it happen also.
3. What questions do you sill have about business in America?
What does current president Barack Obama agree and or disagree with Teddy Roosevelt's business policies?

Rburenstein EQ's about business
Posted by Ruben Burenstein in AMHIST-005 onWorking with Dan Wirt
We chose these because it could easily show the steps that it takes for an individual or group to obtain systematic change. We answered the first essential question, saying that there are three steps to cause systemic and individual change. The first step is the forming of the idea, the second is spreading the idea, and the third is execution of the idea, so that the change is present. I still wonder why all of these bills and attempts don't fix the big industries, or keep them not as large as before.

Business Unit Reflection
Posted by Jennifer Wright in AMHIST-005 onI used physical format firstly because I like to make things with my hands. Making it this way, writing the prompts and making it fun was easily the best way for me to understand the assignment. The idea hit me and I knew it was the one because no one else was doing some like this.
The EQ I picked is 'What causes systemic and individual change?'
2 sentences
The format is symbolic; the choices of an individual dictate an outcome and result in change of systems. Secondly, it is game where strategy and responsible choices determine whether the change is beneficial.
I would still like to understand monopolies. I get they are big companies, but I would be interested to learn more about how the money comes in and goes out of them. Also, the stock market and why it "crashed" exactly is quite unclear to me still.
