What aspects of the transatlantic slave trade do both perspectives focus on? What is the benefit of viewing each type of information? 

They were shipped and most of them didn't survive because of the conditions they were in. It's beneficial to inform others on how hard it was for African Americans a long time ago.

If so, where do you see some examples of it? If not, what are some ways you can tell the creators are striving to remain neutral?

I don't think they are picking any side. They stay neutral by just showing facts.

Both. Some things would be helpful for robots to do for the farmers, but not everything]]> 2023-05-22 16:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/amyvargas3/4rmmzd5dqkbm0zg4/wish/2600309592 Post #26: 5/9/23 amyvargas3 https://padlet.com/amyvargas3/4rmmzd5dqkbm0zg4/wish/2600317457
  • 1. Article #1: "How Do Humans Deal with Differences/Otherness?"

    • How does the article you chose relate to the story "The Wretched and the Beautiful"
    In the story, the humans treated the aliens differently because they were different and looked weird

    What findings discussed in the article are similar to what is discussed in the story? Cite a piece of evidence from the article to support your answer. 
    "many people end up having a great deal of trouble with differences. While in a peaceful, secure world, differences can be a source of curiosity, exploration, and enjoyment. In an insecure, frightening world, they may be a source of fear, envy, and rage, potential dangers to be avoided or battled."

    In your own experience, are the article's findings accurate? Have you ever experienced or witnessed what the article discusses?
    Yes. Every day I see people get treated differently because of the way they look or the way they act

    No. I’ve gone a long time without technology but now that I have it I don’t think I would be able to go without social media and calling friends

    I think the parents see it as a good way to raise their children to not be addicted to their technology
