Feedback to "What is Power?"

Power is the ability to control something or someone, to understand anything, and to overcome obstacles. Being able to control things is kind of like globalization. In our world we are globalized a lot! Being able to out source things to get done in other countries is having power, being able to send factories to other parts of the world so its cheaper is having control, and being able to change culture which isn’t a good thing but that is still control. So control is definitely part of having power. Being able to understand things like people and problems and finding solutions is a big part of being powerful. Having the power to make things better and equal like in animal farm and having people be the same like in the giver is having power because you are making things better for the world. Being an adult would make power easier, because you usually understand more and how to make things better. Being able to overcome obstacles is the most important part of having power. To have power during conflict is definitely a sign of having power because you may win. In animal farm the animal that had the most power was the one that had more experience in conflicts, and understanding how to get through obstacles like war and arguments between people. There is good power and bad power. The good power is like philanthropy which is someone donating their time and money to causes that help people. Like princess Diana donated helped with literacy programs and education for the underprivileged. An act of bad power is slavery. When rich people who had money who could buy slaves they forced and made them work on their fields and treated them inhumane. Giving people right and freedom in certain cases but having rules and laws to follow which will keep everything in order.

Thinking about Globalization.

The main visual elements are the little girl with her homework spread on the floor and the businessman her dad telling her she can’t outsource her homework to India. How people get tired of their own work and send it to somewhere cheaper like India to get done. The cartoonist opinion is against outsourcing. The man doing his own reading and telling the little girl she can’t send her homework to be outsourced. Outsourcing is one of the globalization flatteners. He could have shown a person in India doing someone else’s work.

During the population project I learned how to take information and write about it.
I also learned how to tell if the information was accurate or not. I learned the literacy rate and all the effects and the cycles. Those are the three most important things I learned. They will help me in the future. They will help me with understanding the culture of India. It will also help me with other projects I have to do in my life for high school, college, and in normal life. Gathering information, being able to translate and understand it, and knowing how to tell if sources are accurate or not.

sameness vs. equality

In the giver not everyone is equal they are just the same to be equal everyone should get their own rights and they are able to feel and have differences. To be equal is to have the same rights and freedom. To be the same is to feel and think the same to have very few rights and to be identical in feeling and opinions. Lois Lowry uses the her language more precisely because in the giver every person is the same not equal but in animal farm all the animals are supposed to be equal but end up lower than others.

One becomes an adult when they are mature enough to make decision, to care for yourself and understand that people make mistakes. When a child needs help they ask their parents for help, or when they make a mistake they are scared that they will get into trouble and that everything revolves around there consequences of what they did that was wrong and they cant care for themselves. When you get mature and grow up you understand that everyone makes mistakes and that the consequences will not ruin everything in your life.

To be an adult you must understand all these things and be able to work and do your daily things. To be able to take care of others as well as yourself. I don’t think there is an age you can be useless when you are younger or when your old you may be minimized to what you can do but you are not useless.

The main visual elements are the family at the table and the boy is still so small and young and he already has a blog in school. The issue in this cartoon is that the boy doesn’t want to explain how his day was and instead just want his parents to read his blog, but his parents want him to talk. The cartoonist opinion thinks the boy should talk and not depend on technology as much. On the saying under the cartoon the word tell is capitalized and underlined. The cartoon isn’t ironic because people do depend on technology to much and don’t do anything really for themselves. The cartoonist could have made the cartoon more persuasive by giving more facts and design a little more.

I believe Vonnegut is right. The man who invented computers didn’t let technology do the work he did. Making the computer made him famous and that is what he became. I agree with him when he says nuclear submarines and missiles are newfangled contraptions. So Vonnegut is right and I do believe that it is yopu becoming and we should not let the computer do it for us. All the great inventors thought of the idea befor they made it. So that is them becoming.
