Voting Citizenship Homework

Posted by Sarybel Melendez in American History - Jonas on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 8:28 pm

Since I couldn't record anyone, I recorded the answers on paper. 


Name: Angel López 

Age: 21

Answers: 

1. What motivated you to come out and vote? 

The fact that I am an American citizen and therefore I have the right to vote. No one can take that away from me.

2. Do you vote in every election? (How regularly do you vote?) 

No. If I don't like the candidates, I don't vote. 

3. Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning? 

On the internet and t.v. 

4. Are you always sure of who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth or are you still deliberating? 

Yes. I always make sure that I know who I wanna vote for before walking into the booth. 

5. What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election? 

I think our votes (Hispanic community votes) have a big of impact on the elections. We're a big community and we are American citizens too. Just like everybody else. Our voice should be heard too.

My HMWK- Audio will not upload fo some reason

Posted by Kyler Jones in American History - Jonas on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 8:20 pm

BM- My audio won't upload. My phone is turned off, soo.... I don't know what to do.


1.I notice that I expect everybody going to vote for Obama, because everyone I interview is black. I also noticed that everybody's main concerns or only issues raised was unemployment and better education.

2.I wonder if these people would vote for a republican if he was black?

3. What if Romney wins the state?


I didn't learn jack about systematic and individual change through this. All I do know is that they are two variables. Systematic beings independent, and individual being dependent. The Individual change will not change the system but the system will change the individual.


As I said before, there is no significance of the individual, unless you are a leader. The only real unit capable of changing and sustaining that change is the collective, organized, and multi-ployed group. Individual voting isn't a guaranteed success, and it is definitely not democratic, or a situation when the individual has any control at all. Voting is seen more as a sentimental joke which draws on a false sense of loyalty and security, than it is deciphered as serious effective political activism.


That the self is a constructed mirror of the changing world basically. Your identity is largely a product of the world you interact with and ideas that are brainwashed into your head. The only natural thing we have is our anger and reaction to this socialization. Otherwise are minds are disturbed and abused in many different ways at earlier ages. And in a changing world, the current world, the self is just getting more and more lost into robotism, since the world is not changing positively.


Things are changing for the worst. We don't vote on issues, we vote on representatives. Who don't want to solve the root of those issues, and actually just want to contain and resurface these issues as if we are that stupid.

Citizenship Homework_Katherine Hunt

Posted by Katherine Hunt in American History - Jonas on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 7:46 pm

No one would let me interview them with audio or video.....

Interview:

What motivated you to vote?

What motivated me to vote was knowing that this election would impact my family members, neighbors, and daughter. These are all people important to me, but most importantly it would impact my future and theres too. It was also to make the decision for the best candidate to represent America.

What would you like to change in our political system?

I would like more important issues to be addressed throughout the presidential campaigns.I would also eliminate the electoral system and two party system.


Do you vote in every election?

Yes, voting plays a very important role in today's society.

Are you always sure of who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth or are you still deliberating?

Well, for the most part my mind is up by the time I get to the poll before I vote. Considering my age, I have gone through many elections, but there has always been one candidate that sways me early in the election based on our similar view.

Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning? Radio, TV, Print, Internet, other.

I encounter the most amount of campaigning mainly throughout television and print. These are the places that political parties usually tend to use for their advantage.

Posted by Sara Nesbitt in American History - Jonas on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 7:23 pm

​Here is the Link to the Video:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12942926/Voting%20Interviews.mov

I also interviewed another person and here is the text- He didn't want to be recorded.

1. Every American should participate. 

2. To figure out who's telling the truth. 

3. Between debates and reading, I'm sure who I will vote for. 

4. I would say it doesn't particularly effect Philly because it's the presidential debate. But I hear a lot about gun control. 

5. I have the ability. I can be critical of change. If you don't vote, you can't complain.

Reflection:

Posted by Kyler Jones in American History - Jonas on Friday, September 28, 2012 at 10:30 am

Jalen decided we should have the layout in Keynote. We all figured it would look better and represent America. Plus it would be easily accessible to present.

Finding the facts was quite a challenge especially the push and pull factors for each exact decade. 

I would focus on a specific country's immigration and not just a trafficking of random facts.

Maleena Mel Reflection

Posted by Maleena Mel in American History - Jonas on Friday, September 28, 2012 at 9:44 am

With your blogpost, include your reflection related to:
  • What surprised you most about this information?
  •  What seemed quite obvious about explaining this data set?
  • Looking at the overall trend and incorporating what you know about the US presently, predict and defend the immigration trend for the next two decades.
  • Describe how you made a decision on how to visually represent the information.
  • What parts of group work were challenging?
  • What would you do differently if you had this project to do over?

    1. The thing that had surprise me the most in the project was learning how many people would immigrate to the united state each year, and the reason why they came. 
    2. What had seem really obvious about explaining the data was how i kept getting te same reason why people all over the would would come to America. 
    3. Looking at the overall all i can see that the U.S now is that you ca see that people from all over the world live in the U.S everywhere. People from different places are having money to some and or either running over to get here. And i believe in the next 2 decade people all over the world who has money can come to the U.S with/out a green card or their pass port. 
    4. I had to use different idea and opinion about what was the same reason and what was different. 
    5. Putting the work together when one of us is not here. 
    6. Put more work, and effort then i did here because i had less time.
