a- Both cultures used epic narratives and countless thousands of stories, poems, songs, oratory, and chants. 
b- Each cultures use different languages in different tribes; likewise, different Western communities speak differently.
c- Both use the power of metaphors, with purpose, often.

2) "The Sky Tree"
Superstition and the idea of nature changing on its own.

3) "Coyote Finishes His Work"

The Romanticism painting has softer lighter colors, while the realism is dark and serious.
Romanticism: Light, soft, sweet, bright
Realism: dark, serious
The main difference for me is the vibe or tone of the piece.

"Yes," Maria replies, "basketball, volleyball, and softball." The doctor nods slowly, "Do you get out of breath fast, quicker than your teammates?" "Nope." Maria says, in her mind she recalls huffing and puffing just as much as everyone else at practice. After a few more simple questions, and the sound of the pen writing quickly on the paper, Maria dreaded what would come next. "So, you seem to be in good health," the doctor starts, "I don't want to keep you long. You just need one quick shot and you will be out of here." Maria cringed, she hated needles. The doctor left quick to go get the shots. With the room silent, Maria realized she was holding her breath. "You'll be fine." she tells herself, "Just one quick shot." The doctor returns quickly and stands next to her, ready to use the terrible needle.

When someone refers to their "identity," what do they mean? When you meet new people, what is something you want them to know about who you are? What do you think people notice first?

Answer: 
What encompasses them, who they are as a person. I want them to know that I don't take things seriously, and I am very "I don't care." I am pretty loud and energetic.]]> 2023-02-02 19:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviachatt/izb1jale5tkz4hfm/wish/2466659316 Post #21: 03/10/23 oliviachatt https://padlet.com/oliviachatt/izb1jale5tkz4hfm/wish/2512253595 Based on what was discussed in the video, why do you think photography was a convincing tool to help end child labor in the U.S.? 
Taking photographs of the terrible conditions, showed society how badly the child laborers were treated. Photos properly showed the state of the children's health.
What are the ethical problems associated with employing children under the age of 16? 
Children don't know how pay works. They also are more prone to obedience, even through terrible conditions.]]> 2023-03-10 19:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviachatt/izb1jale5tkz4hfm/wish/2512253595 Post #22: 04/05/23 oliviachatt https://padlet.com/oliviachatt/izb1jale5tkz4hfm/wish/2545333153 Based on the way information is presented in this video, do you believe NBC contains some bias towards one side of the issue? Why or why not? 
I think there was a little bias. They don't make any actual blame toward Amazon; they repeatedly say "allegedly". Although, they do lean toward the employee's side.

What motive could this publication company (NBC) have for publishing this story? 
They want to spread awareness of the issue.

What information, if any, is left out or not addressed adequately? 
Some quotations were very vague and didn't give a person who was speaking. There wasn't any context.]]> 2023-04-05 18:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviachatt/izb1jale5tkz4hfm/wish/2545333153 Post #23- 04/21/23 oliviachatt https://padlet.com/oliviachatt/izb1jale5tkz4hfm/wish/2566128342 Choose one of the technologies mentioned in the article and discuss whether or not you think it is as "creepy" as the article suggests. 
Deepfakes: I think it is kind of creepy, you can almost never tell the difference between people. It would change how opinions on social media are based due to it being a falsified person.
What do you think E.M. Forester would think about that technology? Why?
I think he would find it plausible. He has already predicted lots of modern technology; although, he would probably make it very creepy.

Self-driving cars wouldn't have human instinct and would only go on data it possesses; there would be no empathy.
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?
People behind the wheel must prove that they are still vigilant- and ready to take control- even if not driving. This would still bring empathy and human instinct with the convenient no driving attributes.]]> 2023-04-24 18:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviachatt/izb1jale5tkz4hfm/wish/2566135336 Post #25: 05/02/23 oliviachatt https://padlet.com/oliviachatt/izb1jale5tkz4hfm/wish/2575629773 Based on what you've seen in the video, decide whether or not this is progress? Why or why not? 
I think it is progress, but only for food work. All jobs within this industry would just go away. It would completely change how much of the world works.
What implications does this new technology have for farmers? Are the effects positive, negative, or both?
There are both good and bad things about these robots, but overall the negatives will outway the positives.]]> 2023-05-02 18:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviachatt/izb1jale5tkz4hfm/wish/2575629773 Post #26: 05/09/23 oliviachatt https://padlet.com/oliviachatt/izb1jale5tkz4hfm/wish/2584252085 Choose one of the following articles to read below: 

Answer the following on your Padlet post: 
  1. How does the article you chose relate to the story "The Wretched and the Beautiful"? 
    • The article talks about how humans prefer things that are pretty and cute instead of different. Humans aren't afraid and drop their guard around beautiful things, and the opposite for ugly as seen in "The Wretched and The Beautiful".
  2. 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. 
    • "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." (Holinger, 2022) The humans in the story were disgusted and afraid, then turned to anger.
  3. In your own experience, are the article's findings accurate? Have you ever experienced or witnessed what the article discusses?
    • I think they are accurate for most people in the world, but some have more compassion and empathy than others. I have always tried to help people as much as I can.

No, I know there is a lot of technological dependence in our society, but I get bored really easily. I can survive without my phone for a long time, but there are good parts of phones.
Do you think it's ethical for parents of children in that area to force them to live there? 
It depends if the children have experienced technology or not.
