What new perspectives do we get on this issue that we didn't get from the article?      ~We hear from the side of more so how they themselves feel about it.

This is because they aren't really compatible things to be from the same person.

Does the information in the video have bias towards or against Kaepernick's stance? Is it neutral? What parts of the video helped you come to that conclusion?   ~The video is mainly neutral but some parts are a little bit against him. The tone they use towards it seems like they are against it. The news reporters never gave their own opinion out but did make is seem like they were against it.

What aspects of the transatlantic slave trade do both perspectives focus on? What is the benefit of viewing each type of information? ~They both talk about the loss. The poem talks more about the travel where as the video doesn't. The poem makes it sound more so from a person theres perspective and the video is more historical just providing information.

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?  ~They remain sort of bias but definitely have a sort of leaning to be with it as well.

~They never had a specific "look" for him it has always changed

You see the conditions they are in as well.
What are the ethical problems associated with employing children under the age of 16? Their bodies aren't as strong and cant take as much as adults can. They also are younger and don't know how to use as many things or how to be careful with them and can end up getting hurt easier.

In your opinion, what type of "code" should self-driving cars have? (prioritize the driver's life, minimize damage, minimize harm to other drivers, etc.) Why?

Based on what you've seen in the video, decide whether or not this is progress? Why or why not? Yes, they have improved their ways of doing things and can be more efficient with time. It is fresher food and can be local.

What implications does this new technology have for farmers? They can plant things alot faster than they used to be able to, takes less time to get things done. Are the effects positive, negative, or both? Yes, they have became more efficient and the workers and don't need breaks or paid. It can be local so that you can get them from anywhere and possibly cheaper.

How does the article you chose relate to the story "The Wretched and the Beautiful"?  The humans are more attracted to the animals that are beautiful because they aren't "weird and ugly". Humans only want what fits the standard and is "perfect". If they didn't have the best looking animal that was beautiful than they could be judged. 

What findings discussed in the article are similar to what is discussed in the story? In both they talk about the humans reactions to the different types such as the ugly and the beautiful. Cite a piece of evidence from the article to support your answer. "Hence, the Australian researchers conducted a second study to strengthen their claim that beauty causes an increase in the moral standing of an animal. Their quasi-experiment was clever."

In your own experience, are the article's findings accurate? Have you ever experienced or witnessed what the article discusses? Yes I believe that there are people that only want the "better" things or even the "better looking" things. This goes for so much in life such as clothes, shoes, cars, houses, animals, phones and a lot more. Everyone wants the high name brand products. This is something that you see all over wether it's at school or at work.

Why or why not?  No, I don't want to be able to be on my phone all the time and would go crazy without it because that was how I grew up which is always having it.

Do you think it's ethical for parents of children in that area to force them to live there? I don't think that it is necessarily fair to them if that isn't what they want but I wouldn't say it necessarily isn't ethical.

What benefits and/or detriments does this kind of community offer? They seem to all get along and be happy nice community but they are setting the children up for failure.]]> 2023-05-18 15:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/makenziealexander/aau84ztyodkzwf5j/wish/2596407455
