New Beginning: Reflection

While doing my first couple of blogs, I realized that I didn't want to do my blogs on child abuse anymore. Even though I am very passionate about child abuse I just want to focus on something else. So I have chosen domestic violence. I chose this because I feel like I can write a lot more about this topic. I see this more in my life then I do child abuse. I also feel like domestic violence gives me a lot more to work with then child abuse. So I have made my decision. No longer will I be doing my blogs on child abuse, I will be doing it on domestic violence.

 

 

A New Beginning

My project is so far off to a pretty slow start.  I'm hopeful that it will pick up pace now that I have a more solid topic.  Unfortunately this means that i haven't yet learned a great deal.  The first information I found was basic categorization of various mental illnesses.  

I think that society probably views people with mental disabilities difference, depending on the environment they are it.  For example mentally "off" celebrities are sometimes ostracized, but children are looked on with pity, and even some with humor.  

Over the summer I took a psychology class at CCP.  I might try to see if I can interview the professor about mental disorders.  I also might take a trip to the library. 

I want to:

- look into mental illnesses in Political figures and celebrities.  
- find how the treatment has changed.  
- look into how people react to others with mental illness.
- what the difference is in reaction to a rich person with a mental illness and a homeless person?
- find out more about specific drug treatments.  Which ones worked? Are the side effects worse than the treatment?

Reflection on my journals

Process

After I figured the school system is flawed enough I wanted to show all of them with proof. So I set out to find data and news articles and big events that happen that shows the dark side of our education system today. Truthfully I think it's very flawed but what is hugely flawed is the fact that Lunchlady's in most schools aren't required to use gloves while serving food. 

 

How I picked my topic

Well truthfully I just chose a random topic because I couldn't think of anything else. But it was probably would've been my best choice anyways, 

 

New information

  •  I didn't realize lunch ladies had such bad hygeine
  • There isn't enough money for books
  • THe state has pretty much given up on us
  • Kids use almost anything as weapons
  • The policies on bring weapons is not strct enough

 

 What I need at this point

I stil need to do more research on violence but I was also going to try to tie this in with race in schools as well as placement of the schools

Getting Started

I didn't know what topic to pick at first. This world is full of many problems that needed to be issued. After the assignment to pick a topic was given, I went home and started to ponder on an idea. I glanced down, and there was my dog Louis.

 

 

I looked at his innocent expression and I thought. How could you ignore such an endearing face? Then the topic came into mind. I decided to base my topic on problems that animals go through. Animal abuse.

 

Purpose of My Posts

My objective of my first post was to make known to people that animals are abuse and this is happening on a larger scale in the United States than you think. As I said before, animal abuse isn't widely acknowledge as child abuse but it's just as bad. To prove my point I gather statistics to support my idea.

 

My second blog post was similar to the first but a bit different. It contained statistics but the purpose of it was different. After doing a blog post to make people open their eyes, my second blog post was to have people think about taking action. I wanted people to know what to do when encountered with someone who abuse animals or at least know what it is when they see it. 

Reflecting on my experience so far

  • When we were first given this assignment, I thought I would have it completely under control. It was the one assignment that I had been looking forward to because I already known a lot about my topic, but was eager to learn more

 I picked my topic because the import and production of jeans which almost every American owns at least one pair of, has intrigued me. Mostly the violent and disturbing manner in which the workers are treated gives me a spark

 

  •  So far, I have just been learning as many facts as I can about the production and transportation even though those aren't the parts that interest me the most.Those are the two things around jeans that I had the least knowledge about even though most might argue they are the most important, in truth they are not.

 

I plan on introducing my theories around jeans and the cothing markets themselves, then connecting all of the dots in order to show what we're doing wrong and how to stop it.

Othello: Reflective Blog 1

5/30/08

 

    So far, in the progress of this project, my group and I have been doing some good work. We have identified our theme and began searching for lines that illustrate both the theme and the plot. The theme we chose to show is loyalty. It pretty much comes up as an issue for every character in the book and is the prelude to many of the events. We have also narrowed down on how we are going to present our script. We have decided between either a sock puppet show or a paper bag puppet show. So far, I would say my group and I are working well together. Our personalities and work habits mesh pretty well and cause for few conflict.
    One success we have had so far is working with the GoogleDoc. I personally, am in love with how easy it is making it to collaborate with the rest of my group. Also, I’m just a huge geek and I think it’s quite cool. We set it up in a chart, one row being the act/scene, the other being the person responsible for that section and the final row being the lines found that will be put into our script. We have color-coded each of our names, so we know who it is when someone writes in blue, red, ect. We even have a section for questions or conversations to have about different group decisions. Basically, we are talking about what to do over the GoogleDoc and either answering it then or later. Like I said, huge geek about it.
    As of now, the only difficulties I have reached are finding the perfect lines. It is really hard summing up an entire play into seven minutes. It is really teaching me how to sort through the text and find exactly where the most important and needed parts are.

Reflection 4

One of the things that surprised me the most is that the fast Global Warming has been around forever. It started more then 15000 to 30000 ago. One of the difficulties I had with these posts is that I didn’t know what I should write about global warming and it’s history and to over come this problem I asked my teacher. I found my way to a good paper after I got help from him. I am planning on doing post 9 and 10 by end of next week so I am on track with the work.

Reflection 3

One of the things that surprised me was that when the doctor from the New York TImes article said that we over look the basic problems. Mostly we look at common things like dirking problem or smoking habits, but the most important thing is our environment.

Environment is what makes us how we are. The people, the different cultures and all the different things in our environment shape us in different ways. So this is where we come from, and this is inside our earth, then shouldn’t we take care of it? Well that is what’s difficult is to me. People are doing things that are not friendly to our environment and 40 years for now they expect their children to live in a dump? Where people are mean and cruel? Well I hope not.

I am very happy with my last few posts and again The New York Time helped me a lot. My next step is to work on post that has to do with Global warming and its history and its due Friday the 21st.

Reflection 2

The thing that surprised me the most is that, we are actually coming up with a solution to our over use of gasoline problem. We are getting to a point where we can actually capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turn it back into gas. I am very happy with the things I have posted, because I found sources that is helping me out a lot, mostly from The New York Times, they are a great help to me and my writing. I am thinking about writing about different topics in Global Warming. I just found out something called ecopsychology and I am thinking about doing some research on it. I am planning on finishing these papers by coming up Friday march 7th.

Domestic VIolence [Reflection 2]

Global Warming Reflection 2

I have finished blogs #3 and 4 and I have contacted my change agent. I am on track for this project so far. I am starting to see how diverse the aspects of my topic are, and that globaal warming relates to more areas than I thought. Also, I am bbeginning to see more people who are addressing the issue. I may have many people that I could possibly cooperate with.

 

For the elevator pitch, I am thinking of trying to convincce people to use transportation less often, use energy efficient items/appliances, and maybe even go completely "green." First, I want to try to get people to do easy things that will help with the issue, such as reduced transportation use. I want people to not have to do something dynamic just to help out. We'll start with little things that can be easily accomplished. 

Reflection

The thing I found most surprising while doing this project is that, people waste so much in our world. We waste electricity, cups and other things. These things add up when a majority of the people in the world are doing it. These things add a lot to global warming and people don’t even seem to care.

I think the difficult part was to explain what global warming is with out being all scientific because I wanted to save that for the last two pages. I am glad that I got to finish the paper with out having to go in details. Also that I thought it’s going to be hard finding sources that talks about global warming, but it was pretty easy. I think it’s only going to get harder now. I plan to writing more about how we can stop wasting. Also how things we waste adds on to global warming. Hopefully this paper turns out well.
