Microsoft recently created a VR system that is changing how the military trains today. They created the hololens which is like a pair of sunglasses except you are able to see virtual items. The military is using these Hololens to train soldiers as it is safer for them to learn their weapons and tactics. The Hololens is showing the new era of technology as we transition from real life into virtual reality. ]]> 2019-02-06 19:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328456891 211kongh https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328463170 Many army veterans experience PTSD after coming back from service. A very generous man called Chris Stout created shelters called tiny homes to help these people get back on their feet. This is an example of the generosity and our willingness to aid people in their time of need. The US has always been a generous country and we try to help people.]]> 2019-02-06 19:42:03 UTC https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328463170 211kongh https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328468342 Many people expect technological advances everyday. We are always striving to better ourselves in every aspect so that our life can be better. Tesla is one of the many companies created based on this belief. They are the very popular electric car company. They represent our shift from fossil fuels to a more green and affordable lifestyle. ]]> 2019-02-06 19:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328468342 211kongh https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328469334 Americans have always been very smart people. In 2012 we had a 59% graduation rate in all colleges for a 4 year degree. That means more than half the people in the U.S were able to get a high degree of education and graduate which can help provide them with a good job. ]]> 2019-02-06 19:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328469334 211kongh https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328472926 Americans believe in equal rights and equal people but sadly that has not been shown over the years as many people have faced social injustices, famous athletes and celebrities are standing up for what's right. Colin Kaepernick is one of the largest upstanders as he was the first one to sit for the national anthem causing national attention. The response was very mixed as some believed it was an absolute illegal thing to do while others applauded him for doing what was right. Because of what happened he also does not play in the NFL now and has filed a grievance case against the NFl. He believes that because of what he did, owners are conspiring together so that they won't sign him. This is another showing of racism in his opinion.]]> 2019-02-06 20:01:16 UTC https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328472926 191maroneym https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328545724 Americans believe in equality for all people. While throughout history, this has been a contradicting value, most people agree about equality today. Right now we are celebrating black history month which shows people are trying to work past some of the racism and group superiority we've faced in the past and that people believe in an equal society.]]> 2019-02-07 00:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328545724 191maroneym https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328548676 A new value in america is privacy. Ever since Edward Snowden, people have viewed privacy as a very important thing. Recently facebook was caught not protecting peoples privacy and people were outraged. Mark Zuckerberg had to make a public apology. This shows that people in america value privacy as one of their core values.]]> 2019-02-07 00:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328548676 211kongh https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328575612 Americans are known to fill up their day and are usually occupied with a hobby or something else. Many students in high school are usually involved in at least one club or sport. According to US News. In 2012 over 7.6 million kids in high school played a sport. Thats just a sport and there can be more people who participate in clubs as well as orchestra or band. This shows that Americans need to occupy themselves with an activity and it is a core belief that they do something besides work, or learn. ]]> 2019-02-07 02:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/211kongh/759ni3pd46zu/wish/328575612
