In the past few years, things like wildfires have become more prominent in the news. While wildfires have always occurred, they are happening more and more at an alarming rate which is one bad characteristic of the time we live in]]> 2021-09-01 19:07:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710691292 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710702695 This image shows how our world is right now. We are all sort of in ruins due the ongoing pandemic, and this photo shows just that; people struggling to keep going with all changes currently happening. It shows how we all have to rely on each other especially right now (with the pandemic worsening again).]]> 2021-09-01 19:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710702695 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710707558 This Image shows the first Iphone. This was the start of tech that has changed our lives forever because know we are all addicted to our phones and it has effected out lives in positive and negative ways.Phones have been around for a while now but they are starting to become more involved in our lives as time goes on. ]]> 2021-09-01 19:17:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710707558 2342131 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710711522 This image demonstrates the political divide in our country right now. Its like a fight between the red and blue (democrats and republicans). It's not civil and its harmful. It harms our relations with one another, it harms our progress as a country, and it diminishes our nationalism.]]> 2021-09-01 19:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710711522 2343092 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710711887 The image of the Black Lives Matter protests show how our communities are still suffering from the dark pasts of racism today. After the events of George Floyd and many other racial violence victims, there has been outrage like never before because of these acts. It shows that we are in a time of change that is well-needed from a destructive past.]]> 2021-09-01 19:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710711887 2341563 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710711981 This is a picture from a few months ago when BMW did a test flight of a flying car. This picture represents the time we are living in because the background is grey and sad, but there is this beautiful car flying out of it. To me, this represents how the world has had so much hope even through the dark events that we have endured in the past few years. It also shows the start of what could be a new way of travel. ]]> 2021-09-01 19:19:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710711981 2343031 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710716454 social media has practically taken over the world, especially regarding the events going on in our world right now. due to the pandemic people have begun relying on these apps to keep in touch with their friends and the world around them. this reliance creates a dependence which borders on addiction. the hold social media has on this society has greatly increased in the last year alone and will most likely continue to develop as time goes on. ]]> 2021-09-01 19:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710716454 234261 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710717051 This image shows the Afghanistan conflict that has been going on for 20 years. This represents our world right now because it has been the center of world conflict and been seemingly going on 'forever'. This represents division in human relations for decades. This shows right now because every day there is something new in the news about this region and others involvement. ]]> 2021-09-01 19:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710717051 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710718134 The image above represents today's world because many humans have found it tough recently to find a home, a job, and even just a way to make a little money. Due to the pandemic, many have lost their jobs and had to move out of their home. They have not found a place to stay or a new job.]]> 2021-09-01 19:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710718134 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710726971 This is an image of refugees in Afghanistan.  The image represents this time because it represents the crisis in our world. The Afghanistan war is a good representation of this as it is a war that has been dragged on. for many years. There are news reports all the time now addressing the chaos that is unfolding there.]]> 2021-09-01 19:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710726971 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710735175 The image above represents the times we are living in because we live in a very polarized world where information spreads incredibly fast due to social media and the internet. Many people are willing to do whatever it takes to push their own agenda, and there is so much information being put on to the internet every single day sometimes it can be hard to know what to believe. Especially on social media platforms, people post whatever they want even if it is not factual which can be harmful because misinformation spreads so quickly online and many people are not willing to change their opinions once presented with new or more accurate information. ]]> 2021-09-01 19:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710735175 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710738613 The image above demonstrates how most of our community and nation are at this point in time. Many people are divided based on their beliefs of the global pandemic. Some people believe that masks are important and should be mandated as they are in this point of time, and some people think that they are not necessary anymore and want the idea of wearing masks to be forgotten.]]> 2021-09-01 19:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710738613 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710738867 Jeff Bezos, the creator of Amazon is very relevant in our society today. It shows us that the world disregards how this business and other businesses run. Everyone knows what goes on behind the scenes yet we choose to push it under the rug, and ignore it. People are working in bad conditions for little pay, but as a whole are selfish enough to continue to contribute to their revenue. We tend to pick and choose which bad companies to support because it's more convenient for them at the time. Whether that means cheaper, quicker, or closer, people are suffering behind closed doors of these huge industries. ]]> 2021-09-01 19:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710738867 2341261 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710742430 The image above is what we call the Doomsday Clock. This clock represents how close we are to the end of the world. Midnight is referred to as the end of the world. Right now the clock is at 100 seconds to midnight because of nuclear threats, the pandemic, and global tensions. I don't think the world is going to end, but there are a lot of tensions. With the technologies we have, a nuclear war would end the world hypothetically. I think people will look at our time and remember it for having a lot of global scares. Especially with the North Korea and the Russia situation. Hopefully the world becomes more peaceful, and they will look at this time as the closest we have came to nuclear war.]]> 2021-09-01 19:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710742430 2343211 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710757163 This image represents the political divide that has been increasing because of the latest election. There have been many problems that have occurred due to this conflict. It has been affecting the safety of our country. For example, the raid of the US capital building. This made people embarrassed to live in this country and people were furious. These events resulted in more division in the country]]> 2021-09-01 19:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710757163 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710788319 This photo shows our society currently by demonstrating the use of social distancing. Because of the pandemic, we need to keep safe by wearing masks and keeping six feet apart in order to minimize the spread of Covid19. Even though we cannot interact like we would normally without the pandemic, we still manage to come together as communities. For example, my friends and I are now able to get together but we try our best to keep our masks on. Currently, the political divide on viewing the intensity of the pandemic is something America is struggling with, however, certain communities are taking the right steps to try to go back to normal society in the safest way possible by using masks, social distancing and getting vaccinated. ]]> 2021-09-01 20:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1710788319 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1711010456 Our generation will probably be remembered for being the "lab rats" of social media, advanced mechanics in video games, and just advanced technology itself. We were also one of the first generations to use forms of technology like chromebooks and phones to help us in or everyday lives in school. We are also being watched currently to see what happens when our tech addicted generation grows up and starts making lives of our own. ]]> 2021-09-01 23:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1711010456 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1714508776 This image demonstrates this time because alot of peoples' lives are controlled by our devices. Our society is surrounded by devices in school, home, etc. So, it's very hard for our generation to just completely ignore our phones. But since devices are controlling over lives so much, we ignore real communication face to face. ]]> 2021-09-03 03:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1714508776 https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1715980720 This image represents how people today go about their everyday lives ignoring the things around them. The way I interpret it is that these people are putting these boxes on in order to ignore their problems. I think that represents our society in a perfect way. People ignore their problems, struggles, and anything that gives them accountability. I believe ignorance is at an all time high due to the fact that it is so easy to be ignorant refuse accountability and responsibility. This is especially prevalent in the issue of climate destabilization.]]> 2021-09-03 19:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jallen164/lvfki6qis4p6ekfx/wish/1715980720
