J.Pullins, What is Change?: The Butterfly Effect
The essential question I chose to base my piece off of was:
The inevitability of change is astounding. I believe that we each have our own roles in the environments, societies, and world around us, and that our every decision makes a both significant and small. I believe that the smallest decisions can lead to the greatest changes in our world.
The butterfly effect is the belief that the smallest events can lead to the greatest changes. I believe this correlates to the business unit, as well as the Presidents of the US and essential questions, because the role that each individual plays in society affects it in some way. We all create the norms and systems in which we abide by, and the influence that we hold is greater than we often realize.
The piece I've uploaded tries to represent this by displaying three U.S. presidents, and symbolized their effects on society with the path of the butterfly.
"What is the role of the individual in creating and sustaining change?"

- I chose this type of presentation because it looks the most attractive and meaningful, given the concepts utilized. It seems that when data is expressed to an audience, the fewer the amount of words used, the better. Thus, a single slide was ideal.
- Individual change is when you set your mind to something. Systemic change is when a group of people set their minds to a universal idea.
- What is "business" like in other countries?

I chose to do is as a collage because I thought it would have been a better way for me to send the message or the idea I was trying to send.
My project(collage) answers the questions of how individuals causes the system in changing of each individuals.

¡¡La Fantastico Escheula!!
1. La SLA es muy loco y interesante. We have many clubs including math, poetry, engineering, etc. We have sports, a school store, and also literature & math club for extra help. The school has about 500 students and 25 teachers. It's located at... I think SLA is a very independent and open school that gets work done in a fun way while teaching both the teachers and students.

Poverty of 100
The graph above is a representation of my guess, m classes average guess and the actual answer of how many people live in poverty (less than 2usd/day). I held a much more realistic view than the res of my class in the statistic. I know that the unfortunate are a dominant amount of people but I know that our world has moved in the direction where labor in general is needed more and more and even if they are not getting paid much, 2 dollars isn't much at all. The statistic is still staggering. 48% of people in poverty is still a horrible statistic and is suprising for our day in age.
One statistic that I felt really confident about was drinking water. I know that there have been huge leaps in cheap humanitarian alternatives to drinking water. What I did not expect was the huge leaps in such advancements. To achieve such a record is amazing, The class were pessimist with these statistics I guess I expect more of the world community.
As with the water statistic this one suprised me similiarly. I knew electricty has become much more accesible but advances have become surprising, and as with the water statistic the class was full of pessimists. We are getting to a point where things we take for granted are being taken for granted elsewhere and this creates an illusion that we live the same. Just because you have electricity doesn't means it's on 24 hours a day nor do you have the supplies to actually use it. These statistics are skewed as are all stats but I like that these stats can even be justified. This wasn't possible ten years ago. Maybe in ten years there stats will be real.

World of 100
The sections I was most accurate in were the “owning vs. not owning
a computer” and age categories. For the age I think I was accurate because the
age division seems to be the same almost anywhere you look. In every
statistical set of data you’ll find that the age separations are pretty
consistent. Because of this, I recognized seeing the numbers fairly often and
used memory to take my guess. For the technology section, I simply assumed/knew
most people in the world didn’t have access to a computer like we do at SLA. I
picked the simplest ratio (90 to 10) and that was close enough to the real
answer (88 to 12).
I didn’t get much right but I think the incorrect guess that was
most surprising was the gender and drinking water categories. Usually when I
look at schools, there's more girls than boys in a class. That has been mostly
true for me since first grade. Seeing that we’re actually split right down the
middle shocked me because I had never seen that ratio before. The drinking
water was a shock because in lower school we did an assignment and found that
only about 3% of the water in the world was drinkable. Because I this I assumed
that there would be more people without water than with it and not the other
way around.
My predictions weren’t split evenly but there was enough in the
right category (in my opinion). I think this is because the city of
Philadelphia doesn’t give me an accurate outlook on the world. Philadelphia and
SLA project statistics and ratios that are much different from the actual world.
If someone only saw one type of people wherever they went they would think the
entire world was filled with those types of people, that's what SLA and
Philadelphia have done to me. In some aspects they're an accurate portrayal of
the word but in most aspects they're not.
