Alte al Fuego, Juana Alicia, Father McEnroe- DRAFT

Me 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.

World of 100 Analysis

Screen Shot 2012-02-09 at 10.25.16 AM
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.

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?

Imani Johnson's Business Unit Reflection

1. Symone and I decided to do a wordle because it seemed like it was better to use adjectives in order to define a successful change creating individual

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?

What 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. 

Screen shot 2012-02-10 at 11.33.20 AM
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.

Screen shot 2012-02-10 at 11.34.15 AMIn 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.

Business Unit Reflection

Explain 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?

1. 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

Working 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

I 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.

World of 100

The first graph shows my personal, average, and correct answer of the percentage of different age. It is interesting because it really shows how big the difference is between three sets of data. I never thought that there is that much percentage of people between the age of 15-64.

The second graph is a chart about how many people around the world doesn't have electricity as power. The average of the entire class is really funny because it is kind of the same percentage. My personal answers are closer to the correct answers than the average.

The third graph is about the religion percentage around the world. In this graph I considered the percentage of Christians too high and other religions too low. The average answers from the class are similar to the correct answer. I think this is because they know more about Christianity.


Analysis
1. I am most accurate in the electricity section, and I am most not accurate in the section of diversity of age. For electricity section I think it is because the some people are too passive about the world right now. For the age section I think it is because I came from China and have an understanding of a Chinese. In China, we have a great percentage of children being born and large amount of senior aged people.

2. For me, I think the percentage of people between the age of 15-64 shocked me most, because I first thought that if a family have at least two child, that means they have more children to raise and more senior aged people to take care.

3. I think I am a bit off course. For example, the percentage of Christians around the world, I got about 10 percents of difference. I think this is because I am not familiar with Christianity. I don't even know the possible percentage of Americans who are Christians.

World of 100



The category in which I was the most accurate is "Literacy By Gender". Out of all three of my categories this was the closest of the three to the correct number most likely because of my middle school experience. I had a very different middle school experience mainly because the school was segregated if you will into to sides. One side of the middle school, was comprised of students individually selected from other school around the district because my middle school was a magnet school. While the other side was comprised of students who attended the school in elementary school and didn't qualify to be in the magnet program due to their grades, behavior, etc. The majority of the students in the magnet program were academically gifted and their literacy rates reflected that. And the students in the regular side of the middle school had grades that were rather mediocre and when I weighed out the students in the middle school from both sides, academic and regular, I felt it gave me a fair representation of male literacy rate on a larger scale
.

The correct answer that shocked me the most was the correct number for "Access to Clean/Safe Drinking water". We live in a society where recycling and conservation is almost second nature and we act as though there is a majority of the world that doesn't have access to safe/ clean water like we do in America. I felt like to have 87 of 100 people have access to clean/safe water that shows that we as a human race have been doing our part in conservation and the pollution rates have come down because years ago this was a serious problem that was taken seriously worldwide

I ended up being way off in my predictions compared to the correct/real answers. I think this is because certain morals & values were used to teach me respect and many of them are slight exaggerations of what is real. We are taught to be good standing citizens so that throws off our perception of what the real world is like and my personal opinion

 I was accurate for the hindu, Buddhist, and atheist aspects of religion. I guessed for these religions so my accuracy was just by chance but I think I was so inaccurate for the others because I haven't really ever thought about these things. I was surprised that the Urban and Rural dwellers are almost equal, I thought that since there was much more space rurally but less people to each space, much more people would live in cities. I guess the ages didn't really surprise me because the 15-64 gap is much wider than the other two classes. I thought I was going to be relatively correct but I wasn't so I don't know why.

World Of 100

The Graphs:
World Language- If you look at this graph you can see that not a lot of languages went over the 20 mark other than the other category which I think is interesting because some of these languages are common and to think that the "other" category was higher brings forth the question what in fact are those languages?; I thought it was also interesting that the majority of my classmates had the same idea when it came to looking at the world and what languages they thought would be most frequent.

World Geography- With this graph I noticed that the numbers for myself, the class and the correct answers seemed to favor North America which to me made sense because a lot of other nationalities come over from time to time to America to start over and so the fact that these numbers are higher than other places around the world doesn't really surprise me as much.

World Age- This graph shocked me just a bit because I would assume that because babies are always being born that there would be more infants in the world but then I looked at different variables that could make it so that teens to 64 year olds were a lot higher in numbers.


Which categories were you most accurate? inaccurate? Explain why you think that was the case.

I really wasn't that accurate in much of anything with the categories because I really didn't put much thought into the idea of it being the "world" and just put thought into ideas about the world that I knew without deeper knowledge.

Which of the real/correct answers shocked you the most? Explain.

The answer that shocked me the most was the one found in language and where it said other languages would be used more than other common languages like Chinese and English or even French, I thought that was interesting because that to me showed the diversity of language throughout.

If you were way off course in your predictions, explain why it is that you feel that happened. If you were spot on, explain why you think that happened.

I believe that I was off course in my predictions because I assumed that what I looked at the world as and how I related with the world by which what I've been told would always be correct and not wrong as well as what I had read to be correct. Even when I made a slight change I saw that I was still off because it still followed the ideas and assumption of things that I was told.

 In most cases aside from clean and dirty water. I thought a lot less of the world had access to clean water when in reality about 80% or more of the world had access to it.
chart_5
The one that shocked me the most had to be the water. I thought with all of the third world countries thatclean water would be hard for them to access.

chart_4 (1)
I thought that all the third world countries had a harder time getting to clean water. I was spot on with most languages because while growing up i've gone to pretty diverse schools and I just kind of went along with the make up of the schools from my perspective

World Of 100

The interesting thing here on this graph is how many other languages there are in the world because even the number of Chinese speakers is very low and that is the highest percentage.

It was interesting to me how many people were from Asia in this geography statistic.  I had no clue that 62% of all people live or are from Asia.
Screen Shot 2012-02-10 at 1.55.57 AM
 

 I was pretty much off in most situations but I was pretty accurate in the religion section. I think this is because I see a lot of diversity in religion in Philadelphia so it sort of represents a world scale. The section that surprised me the most was the Asia for geography, or maybe even geography as a whole surprised me the most. I honestly didn't think that so little live or are from North America and that such a number live or are from Asia. I personally think that I was so off-course because I tried to stay modest in all of my answers usually suppressing my first answer. Despite that I still think that I could not really think in terms of the whole world because I have only seen certain parts of the world which make me think of terms of my world, not the whole world.

World of 100 Analysis

World of 100 Geography
World of 100 Geography
The graph above shows the percentage of the distribution of the world's population by regions. For this category, I was pretty close with the predictions. It is interesting to see that the places that are occupied my more people are generally more economically disadvantaged, namely Asia and Africa. However, it is also important to know that Asia is the largest continent geographically, and Europe is relatively small comparing to others, as it would help explaining the gaps of population between continents. 
World of 100 language
World of 100 language
​The graph of language was tricky, as there was an overwhelming number of choices. On top of that, the English language centric view and the lack of multilingual perspective resulted in clear gaps between my personal view and the correct answer. It is especially interesting to see how class's average for English is way off the actual result. 
World of 100 Religion
World of 100 Religion
​This is probably the most precise graphs out of all three, where answers have the least gaps. It might be because of the multi-religious presence in the US that created the view. 

1. I was most accurate in Gender and Age. I think it is because of the highly exposed information about this category that I was able to get the answer correctly. However, I was not very accurate in categories about education and technology. I believe this is plainly due to my lack of knowledge on the question as I never inquired on the matter. 

2. I think I was shock the most in finding out the percentage of cell phone users vs. the percentage of people who live under $2 a day. I think that it is fascinating how technology has become an extremely integral part of human's function that it is used across the board despite the level of poverty. 

3. I was way too of course on the category of urban vs. rural dwellers. I predicted that 95% of the world population would live in an urban area. Although deep down I know that it is not true, but it is hard to resist such though when all places I have been to in the past fews years are urban areas.

  1. For the language portion, I feel as though I was pretty close with the actually data. During the process, I was thinking about the people that I know and also the information that I know based on languages around the world. I was surprised to see that there were more people in the world who speak Chinese other than english.

    chart_8

    I may say that for the geographical locations, I was not as accurate as I though I was. I did not base my estimations on any facts but only my thoughts which came from my surroundings. After I saw the graph for the real data answers I was not surprised because the result made sense. At the time when I was filling out the data, I knew that China was the most populated, but I didn't know that their population was that much in order to alter results like that and have amount in the data.

    chart_9

    In the Religion category, I did not know much about each and every religion to make my predictions, thats why I think that my guesses were soo off. I was surprised to see that Christianity have a higher level. I was surprised because based on older information that I new a couple years ago, the nation of Islam was more populated and I did not know that the information changed.

World of 100

For a class of at least 32-34 students we had to deiced what the rest of the world would be like if there were only 100 people. The sheet of paper that we had to give our estimations on included a lot of possibilities and diverse features of civilization. So each student wrote down their estimation of how the World of 100 would stack up.
