In life it is said that you have to have a big dream to make it, to be happy, to live. One must have huge goals and dreams to pursue, to go forward, to go higher.A job that is accepted by society with a fierce working competition aura around the others to make it. Something that one may not love, not the route they want to go in. Dreams that you have may be forced upon you by circumstances and needs. “dreams are manufactured for us to work, to keep you being productive and consuming then again that will never grant satisfaction.”

I chose Nike because i realized a lot of the stuff i wear is Nike, then i noticed most peoples shoes is Nike. Whatever they put out sells well. Lil nas x sold his shoes that had human blood in it, and it sold out instantly. Nike is a monopoly.

i chose white supremacy as my system of power. In this photos you can  see the abundance of white individuals in certain places such as school.

# data[].attributes.body
The Department of Education is the system of power that I chose because the DOE system is involved with a large amount of schools in New York City. The amount of teachers, staffs, and students in this system is massive. From the health screenings all students complete every morning to the DOE community shared laptops, the DOE contains a vast amount of power.

The system of power that I chose was landscape. I chose this because I had nothing else to think of but also because we use a lot of things involved with landscape. I think it is powerful because many parts of the world have different landscape. I guess.

The system of power I chose was British imperialism. It is a system that has oppressed the average foreign nation for a great many years and, as many peoples as it has tormented, it is still excellent meme material because of its sheer grandeur and, dare I say, boldness. A conversation surrounding this system and its effects on the world might quickly become heated because on one hand, it stripped away the rights of many, but on the other hand, it advanced the world with such speed and ferocity that without it, many parts of the globe would still remain isolated and ignorant of modern technology.

The system of power I chose was the Catholic Church. I tried to show how powerful people who are supposed to represent peace and salvation but were more than often the perpetrators of major religious wars.

the system of power I chose was the patriarchy. Although its more of a satirical gif, I think combatting the patriarchy is something that needs attention. Especially surrounding abortion rights that have come under question recently.

Arion B

The system of power I chose is Islam Religion. I believe that religion is important for many reasons because I know that people in the Islam religion pray to Allah and believe in him. People believe that nothing can happen without Allah’s permission. There is a Quran that is the major holy text of Islam. People pray at the mosque’s for goodness to happen upon them.

These are only some of the small restaurants, stores, or businesses that we stop by at or pass by. Every business has to worry about sales and customers, and these are the points that we rarely think about. I chose this system of power because these places may be small, but are filled with hardworking people, in some cases, they may be more than big businesses.

There are so many beautiful places in New York city that are being destroyed, or not recognized. These places are valuable because they are home to wildlife and animals that we rely on to keep the balance of our ecosystems. taking time to look around your neighborhood and support the Department of Parks is important because we rely on these parts of New York city as an outlet. -alej

The people are the voice. People stand together. It was people that continually help us to stand together. We are the people. And of course people go against people. That is the power.

Inequality is a very big issue that others choose to pass by. Inequality can come in all forms including in gender, race and economically. Inequality to me is something that gets me so angry because not much is done about it. It's something that everyone goes through regardless of what form it comes in. Inequality has such a great power over some people and it is one of the most impacting system of power.

# data[].attributes.body
The system of power that I chose is industrialization. The process of industrialization has caused people, and business owners to treat their employees and workers in horrible ways. From under payed workers to child labor in the workplace, industrialization and the crave for money has caused many atrocities. The pictures I took show the effects of industrialization on the modern world. Cargo ships polluting our rivers, and the rise of the New York City skyline are all results of industrialization and the industrial revolution.

In my GIF i chose to show a varied amount of hierarchies. In my original photos I showed power by having one person being above literally above another. The photos I used from the internet are a triangle which is a symbol of power and strength, a lion pride where you can see the king + queen sitting above or in the middle, and a cartoon of the 3 french estates that we talked about in my history class.

Polo Ralph Lauren is one of many well-known name brands. So many bad things in the world that, I decided to just show something that brings me joy. This one is one of my favorites, affordable and very nice. I have a lot of Polo clothing and couldn't miss the opportunity to show it. Wearing something nice, makes you feel even nicer so why not encourage people to cop some clothes. :)

College Board Monopoly

I made this GIFY to address the power of the College Board over the education of American students. I personally find it ridiculous that they are a "non-profit" organization that has created a system where students are forced to pay for the AP tests in order to stay remotely competitive with their peers. Furthermore, College Board also holds a monopoly over the financial aid application process to the majority colleges. There are seemingly no power competitor who can balance College Board's power over the college application process.

The Oppression of Religion isn't really talked about. We see these images of hell and heaven seen as scary or as a paradise. Following a Religion against your choice can be something that can become overwhelming.Not saying religion is a bad thing to follow it varies for different people and how you were raised and how you found your religion. The bright light Over the skyline is always seen as the a resemblance of how Religion can be either  a light you can turn to or a light forced upon you , causing religious trauma that gets covered up and that no one really speaks about.

I chose climate change as my system of power. So many things visible and not are causing temperatures to change and the beautiful glaciers to melt. Animals are getting confused and moving to areas that are dangerous and not that their natural habitat. Cars and other transportation are creating Co2, as well as factories and many other things. I used to be confused why 71% of Earth is water. I understand now and i'm confused on why nobody is doing anything to stop climate change.

Wealth is a system of power, which includes massive inequality. I chose it because I feel it is a reasonably clear example of a system of power. Wealth also can produce other inequality.

I chose the power of the internet. The internet plays a big role in my life and many other people's lives. Our reliance on the internet puts into question the true power the internet has, by controlling us, seeing what we do, impacting our lives, and so much more.

I chose to create a GIF on the power of technology in the 21st century, and  focusing specifically on teens and children on screens. Everywhere you go you will see someone in another world, on their phone, iPad, computer, etc. It is obvious that as our technology advances we feel the need to incorporate every part of it into our lifestyle, but sometimes it is better to just take a step back.

I chose the subway transit as an example for transportation. This is because various people use the train as a way common way to get other places. As the MTA creates routes and stations to travel around the city.

The system of power I chose to do was the Criminal Justice System. In my photos I used pictures of statistics, the statue of liberty and people locked up. Primarily the people locked up were people of color. The statistics show the number of incarcerated indigenous people since 2001. The text "LAW AND ORDER" was put as joke, implying that the justice system is a joke.

It seems like most people cannot live without an apple product, no matter if it is an Apple watch, iPad, iPhone, MacBook, or AirPods.

I chose the fashion industry as my system of power. Fashion controls people's appearances, and it is often what people make biases about others because of. Fashion ranges from a display of wealth to an everyday daily article. People often want to stand out, utilizing fashion to display their individuality. The fashion industry acts as a hierarchy in how there are different levels of clothing, such as luxury or casual.
