NIKE sweatshops day 2

Today we talked about the video yesterday and what we thought of it. We talked about how Donald trump wants to make all of the big corporations to move their factories to america so we can have the factory jobs. We talked about the minimum wage, i think raising it or lowing it makes no difference because if more people have money money, in theory, becomes less because people are charged more for things. If it is lower the dollar, in theory, becomes more because there isn't as much money in circulation. This was an outcome of the civil war and it was horrible for the Norths and Souths economy. So i think we should leave the minimum wage where it is because it seems to be working now.

NIKE sweatshops

I feel that video was very moving and i think it had an impact on NIKE, and the workers. I know that the company has tried to change that in the last 10 years since the man tried to change it. I felt horrible that i spend more on a pair of shoes then what the people make in a month. I think if i find that NIKE hasn't done anything to change their ways i might never buy a NIKE product again.

Boredom

Today we changed seats, we all were pretty much separated except a few. We went over some more pictures from the slide show from a few days ago. We talked about the silk road and how that was an example of globalization. Then we talked about a person in a remote place of Kenya with a phone. we talked about how much has to happen in order for the phone to work. And finally we talked about gladiators and Christians being persecuted in ancient Rome.

test review

Today we reviewed the test that we took last week. a few people got A's, I got a 89. if I had done better on a essay I would have gotten a ding. My goal next test is to get an A on the test. We had two shadows today and I think they were bored because our class wasn't that interesting today. We didn't do anything for the first 10 minutes and the last 5 minutes so it was a pretty univalent day.

IDEK(i don't even know)

The first 15 minutes today was spent looking at a picture of KFC and McDonalds in China. It had a caption underneath it talking about globalization and Americanization. We proceeded to talk about it and what we wrote, we talked about how american companies make their stuff in other countries and how we make stuff for other countries. We looked at where our clothes were made, and how it is cheaper to make things in china then it is in america.

3 things about the video

1. The first fact that i found interesting was that 1 in a million people in china is actually has 13,000 other people just like them. It shows how over populated china is, which is interesting because the Chinese buy apartments in other cities that are called fake cities. No one lives there, there are sky scrapers in the middle of no where with no one in them. Then they have millions of people in one city with 20 skyscrapers.
2. The second fact I found I found was that in 2049 they expect to have affordable computers that can think with emotion and reason. If this is true I think the robot over rising is coming sooner then we though.
3. Last I found that India has more honor students then we have kids. Not only does this show how much more population they have but also how smart they are. I'm sure India or china will end up taking over the world because of those two things. And when you think about it they kinda already have, China makes almost everything and all and India has all of our costumer support. Both have been doing it silently for the past 20 years.

first test

I don't think the test was very hard, i think i got a b but i didn't have and major problems. I forgot that type or print a stenographer uses and what the mountains name is now. The multiple choice was very easy i think i got them all right. the vocab was a little bit more different because I forget how to spell things like perihelion. The short answers were easy so was the question about what Socrates was being tried for. And finally the BCR's were easy and didn't require along paragraph for a answer. I think think test was easy and fair, I just hope they don't get harder.

the draft and death penalty

Today in class we went over more of Socrates and his death. We talked about the death penalty and how lethal injections aren't always working in modern times. Then we started talking about what idiot means in greek, it means selfish and not wanting to help the community. We talked about how people that are younger don't vote. Two reasons that we concluded was it is too much work and that you have to do jury duty once you do sign up. Then we talked about the draft in the Vietnamese war and how still today we have to give our information so we can be drafted.

class today

Today in class we reviewed the words given to us Friday. We talked about how the united states is actually a republic and not a democracy. A few ways that we show democracy by voting in modern times is same sex marriage, legalizing medical marijuana, and school redistricting. We also spent a fair bit of time talking about Socrates and how he let people believe what they want and questioned them on why they believe in that. He was trialed for two things, his defense was that they should be thanking him and giving him free meals for life.

5 ways to better improve my time at John Carroll

One thing I am trying to do is play sports, i play soccer and lacrosse. By joining teams I have made many fiends that are in some of my classes. Having friends makes high school seem a lot less worst and more enjoyable, you have people to talk to and to hang out with. Another thing is doing my homework, homework helps out your grades a lot. 10 homeworks might balance out a bad quiz or test score. I would also go to sporting events and meet new people. I would be interactive with the JC community and see our teams win and lose. By going to games i might meet people from other schools which is another way. The final way is to get a foreign exchange student. By adopting one i will be able to see other cultures and how other people live.

fourth day of school and we still haven't done anything

Today in class we talked about Mr.Perry and how Mr.Schick could never be as mean as him. We also had a lecture on how inactive we are by not answering questions. We have been given another chance and if we don't take it we have to do writing instead of discussions. Most of us switched seats so it confused Mr.Schick and makes it harder for him to learn our names. Mr.Schick also asked us why tryhard is suppose to be an insult when trying hard is a good thing.

A Message To Garcia

I agree with the person writing this essay, as technology gets better people become more lazy and depend on it more and more. If all technology were to stop working today our society would go corrupt. People would not be able to function if they couldn't use their phones, computes, or anything that requires electricity. And with this technology people worry more about it more then their jobs, all the time i see people who are on breaks for a half an hour on their phones. Also people waste as much time as they can doing a few things thinking they will get out of doing others but will still have to do it the next day. As time goes on i think we will become fully connected with technology to the point that if it goes, so do we.

second day of school

Today we got all of our blogs figured out. Mr.schick told us that we will be learning about Aristotle the next few days. We also learned his first rule, never leave your computer unsupervised. When Matthew left his open Mr.Schick wrote a blog on his account. I also found out that Mr.Schick likes encyclopedia, while most teachers don't, he thinks information is remotely accurate on it. Today was fun but I can't wait till we start learning about how human cultures are different and things of that sort.
