Noticing discrimination is caused by people first experiencing it, and then calling it out. This discrimination is caused by bias and is reflected in how we treat different people.]]> 2022-03-03 20:19:47 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2076615348 rasheedrayan9420 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2076618124 2022-03-03 20:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2076618124 rasheedrayan9420 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2076623494 Connection: This image shows the Ukraine war that is going on right now. It may have been caused by Russians wanting a reunited Soviet Union, because Russia benefited from it. Ukrainians who had bad experiences in the Soviet Union likely were the ones who wanted independence in the first place, and are the ones who are resisting Russian influence now.]]> 2022-03-03 20:25:49 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2076623494 sushilmihir4883 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078548959 Connection: This refers to the original wanting of independence for the United States.

This "barrier" is where people treat blacks differently from others due to this bias.]]> 2022-03-04 19:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078556108 https://libguides.law.uconn.edu/implicit/courts rasheedrayan9420 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078557118 Connection: This article also discusses implicit bias, which as explained in other posts, is caused by our experiences and causes us to treat others differently.]]> 2022-03-04 20:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078557118 Answer to essential question wenbruce5344 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078557681 Our experiences will give us different backgrounds which can relate to others and make us judge them in a certain way.

Examples:
- People who wrote the constitution never were slaves
- The people invading ukraine have never lived there, and people of different races never experience what the other has]]> 2022-03-04 20:00:51 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078557681 agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078558043 Connection: This article also discusses implicit bias, which as explained in other posts, is caused by our experiences and causes us to treat others differently.]]> 2022-03-04 20:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078558043 rasheedrayan9420 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078558432 Connection: This image refers to the Uighur Turks, and how they are being discriminated against in Turkey. Turkey is also accused of even deporting them. This is caused by people's biases against these Turks, and those are in turn caused by our experiences. This causes people to treat Uighurs differently, by deporting them rather than allowing them to coexist in Turkey.]]> 2022-03-04 20:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078558432 agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078559977 Connection: This is a website that explains about the Great Schism.

This implicit bias is mainly caused by a person having experiences with a group of people OR having experiences with someone who also has a bias. This bias causes us to treat different people different ways.]]> 2022-03-04 20:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2078565735 Connection to 12 Angry Men agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2091043003 Our Essential Question is directly related to Judge 5 in 12 Angry Men because the 5th Juror was defending the boy when the other judges began attacking the boy for living in the slums. He related his experiences to the boy by explaining that even he had lived in the slums, and them attacking people in the slums was untrue and that people can change. This relates to the essential question because it shows how Juror 5 used his past experience in the slums to tell the other jurors that they were being unfair. In addition, the 3rd Juror used his experiences with his elder kid to say that the boy must be bad, since in his experience, the kid ran away. Meanwhile, the 8th Juror explains how his experiences as a parent are very different from those of the 3rd Juror, and it makes him think that the kid is less guilty than the 3rd Juror is.

In addition, the boy has displayed behavior that he's learned over the years from his father, including violence and anger. This shows that the boy learned from his experiences at home that it is okay to display the same behavior to others, whether it is unconscious or conscious.]]> 2022-03-11 19:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2091043003 agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094521139 2022-03-14 19:09:10 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094521139 rasheedrayan9420 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094541722 1. I learned that Juror 3 has a son who he does not have an amicable relationship with. This sheds some light on why he wants the boy to be proven guilty because maybe the boy reminds him of his son.

2. I feel like I did better in this discussion setting because there are less people you are speaking to which allows me to be able to speak more.
-Rayan]]> 2022-03-14 19:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094541722 Reflection- Mihir sushilmihir4883 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094541770 1. I think one thing that stood out to me was that juror number 6 doesn't talk to much and has very few lines, I didn't realize that before. 
2. I think it was better that the campfire, since there were less people per group so I think it was easier to discuss]]> 2022-03-14 19:24:46 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094541770 guptaashmit4129 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094543897 1. I learned that juror number 10 might have a sick appearance because he has a cold in the summer time when it is not common.
2. I liked the campfire better because we have a chance to hear what more people have to say, rather than just in the group.]]> 2022-03-14 19:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094543897 Characterization Reflection - Akhil agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094545162 1. What did you learn about another character that stands out to you?
I learned a lot about the 10th Juror. It's very interesting that the things that the 10th Juror does fit an old-man character, and that the 10th Juror just seems like one of the bad guys of the play.

2. How do you feel you did in this discussion setting as opposed to the campfire?
I felt similar to the campfire, since I participated about the same amount in both settings.]]> 2022-03-14 19:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094545162 Characterization Reflection (yvonne) tranyvonne2390 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094548425 I learned that Juror 3 is very talkative and self centered. He doesn't have interest in listening to other opinion and is very firm believer that his opinion is the only correct one.
I enjoy this discussion setting better than the campfire since i feel more comfortable to speak in smaller groups. ]]> 2022-03-14 19:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2094548425 Character reflection: Bruce wenbruce5344 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106047755 I learned that Juror 6 is very insecure and doesn't have very strong opinions. He is very reserved and doesn't speak up at all and when he does he is very nervous and reserved.

I feel like this way is much more efficient and much easier, as you don't wait as long for people to speak, you can tell who wants to speak, and you can have a much faster paced and more in depth discussion for the topic.]]> 2022-03-21 19:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106047755 Poetry Station 3 agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106052590 Logos: The beginning of Paragraph 2 explains how a black girl now has a lot more opportunities than before, as a free person rather than a slave, showing improvement in our society since our nation's founding. However, it also explains how she can dream to become a president but isn't there yet, which shows how we still have a way to go in this regard. In addition, Paragraph 7 explains how democracy can be attacked but never defeated. This shows how in the end, the people will be equal and we can reach this goal.

Ethos: Gorman makes people trust her by proving that she is being greatly affected by this issue, in paragraph 2. She also keeps saying "we", saying that we are all in this together, including her, so she can talk about it.

Pathos: Gorman uses very powerful words and phrases in order to make people reading/listening feel pride for the nation, but also understand the improvements we can make. For example, "we grieved, we grew, even as we hurt, we hoped" makes the audience feel hopeful, making people listen more to Gorman for inspiration.]]> 2022-03-21 19:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106052590 Dialectical Journal #1 - Akhil agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106353522 2022-03-22 00:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106353522 Dialectical Journal #1 : Bruce wenbruce5344 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106629371 2022-03-22 03:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106629371 Dialectic Journal- Mihir sushilmihir4883 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106706521 2022-03-22 04:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106706521 Dialectical Journal #1 (Yvonne) tranyvonne2390 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106794229 2022-03-22 05:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106794229 Rayan Rasheed Dialectical Journal rasheedrayan9420 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106854686 2022-03-22 06:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2106854686 rasheedrayan9420 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108175684 “and the norms and notions

I chose this because I feel like sometimes we as a society overlook certain things that are harmful just because they happen often or “just is”]]> 2022-03-22 18:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108175684 The Hill We Climb QoD - Akhil agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108183168 "We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be, a country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free, we will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation, our blunders become their burden. But one thing is certain: if we merge mercy with might and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children's birthright."

Caption: I chose this quote (Paragraph 8) because there are many strong and impactful words and phrases in this quote. It explains how we need to make a change, or else the burden of that just moves on to the next person. Inertia especially explains how if we do something, the future generations will continue, while if we don't, the future is going to need to face the same decision, and it will be hard to ever start.]]> 2022-03-22 18:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108183168 Mihir QOD sushilmihir4883 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108184657 "And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it, somehow we've weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken but simply unfinished." I chose this one because we still are growing as a nation. 
"We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming a president only to find herself reciting for one." This shows improvement in the history of America that a black women can now dream to be in the strongest position of the country, and we still have more to improve on. ]]> 2022-03-22 18:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108184657 QOD (yvonne) tranyvonne2390 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108187955 "the new dawn blooms as we free it, for there is always light if only we're brave enough to see it, if only we're brave enough to be it."

I am understanding the play well.
2. I can follow the plot well when we read during class 
3. Having people read and play out the part of each juror is helpful because it helps in getting specific lines stuck in my brain which helps me in understanding the plot ]]> 2022-03-22 19:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108224923 Small discussion notes : Bruce wenbruce5344 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108225106 1. I think the plot is progressing heavily and some major points are starting to be made, but I still have been able to keep up with everything
2. When we read it is fairly easy to keep up, but some parts are harder to digest.
3. The movie has been helping me a lot with the plot and the tones of the people as they talk. The campfires are ok, but I don't find them as important as watching the movie.]]> 2022-03-22 19:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108225106 Discussion #2 (3/22) - Akhil agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108229605 1. I feel like I understand most of Act I, and can understand the characters and how each of them are feeling at the moment. Of course, there are still many more things that can be uncovered through deeper analysis, but I feel like I understand the characters' basic motives and ideas.

2. I am able to follow along pretty well. Being able to read the play on my own computer while reading as a class really helps with this, and acting it out makes all of the emotions more prevalent and easy-to-understand.

3. All of the discussions seem to be helping with understanding the play better, with the campfires and other forms of more individual discussion. Hearing other people's thoughts, connections, and analysis of the play gives me a new perspective and lets me understand the play from all angles. However, I feel like most of the activities we do as individuals are not as helpful, since I mainly understand what I do in these assignments while reading the play as a class.]]> 2022-03-22 19:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108229605 Play Reflection - Mihir sushilmihir4883 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108230443 1. So far I think I have a good understanding of Act 1, but sometimes I forget what is judge is what and what they are trying to say. But the movie helps with this.
2. I am able to follow well when we read during class. But I occasionally forget which judge is which.
3. I think something that has been helpful to me us that when I'm reading during class on a character it helps me understand them better and also watching the movie. ]]> 2022-03-22 19:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108230443 Act 1 Reflection (yvonne) tranyvonne2390 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108232746 1. Now that we finished act 1, I have a pretty good understanding of what's happening in the play. 
2. I'm able to follow the plot when reading in class. 
3. I think having different students read as each of the jurors helps me get a stronger understanding of the play since it helps me follow along better. The discussions after reading and activities we've done has also been helpful to me. ]]> 2022-03-22 19:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108232746 Poetry Station #2 agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108247710 The alliteration in the stanza like "fierce and free", "benevolent but bold", and "inaction and inertia", bring a very powerful tone of obligation in the stanza. It makes people feel like they have to take action and bring change in society. ]]> 2022-03-22 19:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2108247710 RJ - Dialectic Journal bonhagenron4872 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2112440307 When the jurors are discussing about how the old man heard the boy yell out he's going to kill his father and saw him run down the stairs, the 9th juror who has been pretty quiet chimes in saying that the old man could have testified for attention. 

"9TH JUROR: Attention, maybe." (Rose 43)

This brings up a whole new perspective for the jurors to think about. The 9th juror later states how he had been analyzing the old man during his testimony. Things like the way he walked, and how he dressed gave the 9th juror an impression. This impression did not come from nothing however, because the 9th juror is also an older man and would be able to understand another older man a lot better than the younger jurors. 

This all ties into our experiences influencing how we perceive others. Since the 9th juror was an older man he would have more similarities and commonalities with the old man who testified. When compared to the younger jurors, the 9th jurors new perspective came from his experiences throughout his life. These experiences influences how he first perceived the old man allowing him to give the jurors a new perspective to think about.]]> 2022-03-24 18:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2112440307 Poetry Station 7 agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2114357984 Each of the images here show another part of America that Gorman describes.

- Fear: Using words like "catastrophe", "terrifying", and "feared in its inception" make people feel some fear for what the future holds

Then juror 6 suggests taking another vote to check where each individual stands. This time they do the vote one by one. The vote is 6 to 6. After this the 10th juror makes an assumption about the boy calling him a kid like that, and implying he definitely is guilty because of how he perceives him. 

“Six to six! I’m telling you, some of you people in here are out of your minds. A kid like that” (Rose 59). 

In this quote the 10th juror is angry that 2 more people have voted not guilty. In the beginning it was 11 to 1 and more people have been slowly switching over. The 10th juror is adamant about him being guilty. He cannot view the situation from another perspective. He is only looking at the case for face value, and also using his perception of the boy as a bias towards his vote. This makes him call the others “out of their minds” as he cannot fathom how someone can think differently. He also calls the kid a “kid like that” implying he has a bias.

This quote connects to the essential question because it is about the 10th juror's perception of the boy based on his experience and attitude. The 10th juror has been angry the whole time, and has been wanting to get it over with from the get go. This attitude makes his experience a foul one. This experience makes him angry, and makes him jump to conclusions quickly. This all makes him very biased towards his own perspective. When you have this attitude it gives you a negative experience making you biased and self-centered.

I think her views on humanity is a mixture of both optimistic for the future but pessimistic of the past. Throughout this passage she talks about humans have to be unified and we are getting there keeping our differences aside. But she is also pessimistic about humans based on the past, which when she talks forces that caused a civil war and the slavery which was in US.
D. I think Gorman's worldview compares Rose's view. Gormans view is saying that the future can hold hope and fix the mistake that happened in the past. Roses is also similar to this as we see a advancement in the court system which could also be implied to world. His view was showing that the world worked with a bias, based on what they influenced, but to the end it showed that they were letting go of that bias, which shows and advancement and faith in humanity. ]]> 2022-04-25 19:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2157197987 Poetry Station 9 - Akhil agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2157201960 C) I think Gorman is very optimistic about humanity's future, while she is more neutral about the past. She believes that in the past, people have been very resistant to change, but they have still made some progress. For example, Gorman talks about how she would have been a slave in the past but instead became the reciter for the president. However, she still believes that it is not enough. For the future, Gorman explains that if the current generations do well, we can make a bright future for others to come. She talks about how we have a lot of power and can change the bad things about the present, and humanity can become a lot better in the long run.

D) Gorman's worldview contrasts from Rose's, because Gorman takes a more optimistic stance, while Rose takes a more pessimistic stance. However, they do have some similarities, in Gorman being pessimistic and Rose being optimistic at times. First, Gorman explains her hopes for a utopian future, and that we have made some progress in the past. In contrast, Rose focuses on the bad parts of the present, in which people from the slums, for example, are being discriminated against, even in court. However, similarly to Gorman, Rose also shows the good in society and that it can be reformed through Juror 8, and his ability to convince the entire jury. Finally, Gorman is a little pessimistic about the past, saying that we have not made a huge amount of progress, but rather a limited amount. This is similar to Rose's main commentary about his present (which is our past).]]> 2022-04-25 19:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2157201960 Poetry Station 9 - Bruce Wen wenbruce5344 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2157204761 C. I think that Gorman is optimistic towards society, as when she talks about our future, she says that we will prevail and break through these hard times. She does bring up a lot of bad things that happened in our past, but it doesn't matter as we will learn from these mistakes and build on top of them.

D. Gorman is very hopeful for our future, while Rose seems to highlight more of the flaws in out society without showing us how to improve upon in or get rid of the problems. They both bring up the bad things that are happening, but Gorman gives us hope while Rose doesn't.]]> 2022-04-25 19:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2157204761 Poetry Station 9 (yvonne) tranyvonne2390 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2157895754 C. I think Gorman is optimistic about the future of humanity. She speaks about how we need to put our differences aside to create a unified country. Gorman believes that it's up to us to give humanity a better future. She speaks about our country's past, like slavery and our struggles, but she believes that if we come together we can leave behind a better country than the one we were left. 

D. I think Gorman's worldview compares to Rose's. Gorman believes we need to set differences aside to create harmony for all. As seen in 12 Angry Men, the jurors put their past and differences aside to come up with a verdict. Gorman explains how victory lies in the connections made not war or violence. Once the 3rd juror divided his past with his son and the boy's case, they were able to come up with the verdict of not guilty. Gorman's and Rose's view suggests to put our differences, past, and biases aside to forge a unified union. ]]> 2022-04-26 05:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2157895754 Poetry Station 9 Personal Reading Diagram agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2159155033 2022-04-26 19:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2159155033 Essential Question agarwalakhil4169 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2167262415 How does our experiences influence how we perceive others?

To prevent this, we can try to spend more time getting to know individuals of the specific group that we are biased towards. This helps us realize that people of a certain "group" (such as race, age, etc.) are all unique in their own ways. This can help break stereotypes by making us see the differences between people of that "group". We also need to be able to identify our biases so that we know what to correct. Therefore, we can be more aware of how we treat different people and notice why we treat them that way. If we recognize a pattern between people with a certain characteristic, we can make sure that we prevent ourselves from stereotyping new people we meet with that characteristic.]]> 2022-05-16 00:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2184865267 Bruce Wen - Soapstone (Video) wenbruce5344 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2186563632 2022-05-16 23:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2186563632 Rayan Rasheed- SOAPSTone (song) rasheedrayan9420 https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2186936996 2022-05-17 04:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/agarwalakhil4169/ut4ico1t51i1x8s0/wish/2186936996
