It could be cash or bitcoin. Or they inherit money from their families. Or they work in a job that gives them good pay. Also, in businesses. This shows that money is everywhere. Money also leads to power so basically wealth is a system of power because of that and also you could do lots of things with money.]]> 2022-02-08 21:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2036546201 williaml250 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2036626742 In this world, there are many man made and natural disasters. in this GIF, there are a couple chosen disasters related to agents in VALORANT, listed from least deadly to most deadly. try and guess which disaster resembles an agent!]]> 2022-02-08 22:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2036626742 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2036745186 My GIF shows the power of Uber. Uber is a popular car buying taxi thing site and I choose it because not everyone talks about the struggle of an Uber driver. Here my GIF showcases how truly sad being an Uber Driver can be :[.

Fashion controls people's appearances, and it is often what people make biases about others because of. Fashion ranges from a display of wealth to an everyday daily article. People often want to stand out, utilizing fashion to display their individuality. The fashion industry acts as a hierarchy in how there are different levels of clothing, such as luxury or casual. ]]> 2022-02-09 14:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2037977012 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2037991610 I chose apple as my system of power. Apple is one of the biggest companies in the whole world. I see people using apple products everyday in ways such as for work, school, and even for fun. It seems like most people cannot live without an apple product, no matter if it is an Apple watch, iPad, iPhone, MacBook, or AirPods.

Amazon has become one of the largest and most controlling companies in the world. However, because of this, small local businesses suffer, and workers are being exploited while the billionaires on top continue to get richer.

In my photos I used pictures of statistics, the statue of liberty and people locked up. Primarily the people locked up were people of color. The statistics show the number of incarcerated indigenous people since 2001. The text "LAW AND ORDER" was put as joke, implying that the justice system is a joke.]]> 2022-02-10 00:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2039151242 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2039154393 I chose the subway transit as an example for transportation. This is because various people use the train as a way common way to get other places. As the MTA creates routes and stations to travel around the city. ]]> 2022-02-10 00:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2039154393 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2039247527 I chose to create a GIF on the power of technology in the 21st century, and  focusing specifically on teens and children on screens. Everywhere you go you will see someone in another world, on their phone, iPad, computer, etc. It is obvious that as our technology advances we feel the need to incorporate every part of it into our lifestyle, but sometimes it is better to just take a step back.

The internet plays a big role in my life and many other people's lives. Our reliance on the internet puts into question the true power the internet has, by controlling us, seeing what we do, impacting our lives, and so much more. ]]> 2022-02-10 02:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2039306967 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2039375257 The system of power of this GIF is technology.

So many things visible and not are causing temperatures to change and the beautiful glaciers to melt. Animals are getting confused and moving to areas that are dangerous and not that their natural habitat. Cars and other transportation are creating Co2, as well as factories and many other things. I used to be confused why 71% of Earth is water.

We see these images of hell and heaven seen as scary or as a paradise. Following a Religion against your choice can be something that can become overwhelming.Not saying religion is a bad thing to follow it varies for different people and how you were raised and how you found your religion. The bright light Over the skyline is always seen as the a resemblance of how Religion can be either  a light you can turn to or a light forced upon you , causing religious trauma that gets covered up and that no one really speaks about.     ]]> 2022-02-10 14:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040349993 JamieWei https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040350462 College Board Monopoly

I made this GIFY to address the power of the College Board over the education of American students. I personally find it ridiculous that they are a "non-profit" organization that has created a system where students are forced to pay for the AP tests in order to stay remotely competitive with their peers. Furthermore, College Board also holds a monopoly over the financial aid application process to the majority colleges. There are seemingly no power competitor who can balance College Board's power over the college application process. ]]> 2022-02-10 14:28:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040350462 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040360473 Polo Ralph Lauren is one of many well-known name brands. So many bad things in the world that, I decided to just show something that brings me joy. This one is one of my favorites, affordable and very nice. I have a lot of Polo clothing and couldn't miss the opportunity to show it. Wearing something nice, makes you feel even nicer so why not encourage people to cop some clothes. :)]]> 2022-02-10 14:32:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040360473 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040360985 In my GIF i chose to show a varied amount of hierarchies. In my original photos I showed power by having one person being above literally above another. The photos I used from the internet are a triangle which is a symbol of power and strength, a lion pride where you can see the king + queen sitting above or in the middle, and a cartoon of the 3 french estates that we talked about in my history class. ]]> 2022-02-10 14:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040360985 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040575035 The system of power that I chose is industrialization. The process of industrialization has caused people, and business owners to treat their employees and workers in horrible ways. From under payed workers to child labor in the workplace, industrialization and the crave for money has caused many atrocities. The pictures I took show the effects of industrialization on the modern world. Cargo ships polluting our rivers, and the rise of the New York City skyline are all results of industrialization and the industrial revolution.  ]]> 2022-02-10 15:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040575035 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040582160 2022-02-10 16:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040582160 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2040582801 Inequality is a very big issue that others choose to pass by. Inequality can come in all forms including in gender, race and economically. Inequality to me is something that gets me so angry because not much is done about it. It's something that everyone goes through regardless of what form it comes in.

People stand together. It was people that continually help us to stand together. We are the people. And of course people go against people. That is the power.

The system of power I chose is Islam Religion. I believe that religion is important for many reasons because I know that people in the Islam religion pray to Allah and believe in him. People believe that nothing can happen without Allah’s permission. There is a Quran that is the major holy text of Islam. People pray at the mosque’s for goodness to happen upon them.]]> 2022-02-10 23:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2041342213 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2041455974 the system of power I chose was the patriarchy.

It is a system that has oppressed the average foreign nation for a great many years and, as many peoples as it has tormented, it is still excellent meme material because of its sheer grandeur and, dare I say, boldness. A conversation surrounding this system and its effects on the world might quickly become heated because on one hand, it stripped away the rights of many, but on the other hand, it advanced the world with such speed and ferocity that without it, many parts of the globe would still remain isolated and ignorant of modern technology.]]> 2022-02-11 02:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2041568220 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2041576447 https://media.giphy.com/media/GWoFUHV0f8rXp6kMpn/giphy.gif

I chose Nike because i realized a lot of the stuff i wear is Nike, then i noticed most peoples shoes is Nike. Whatever they put out sells well. Lil nas x sold his shoes that had human blood in it, and it sold out instantly. Nike is a monopoly.]]> 2022-03-31 23:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2124491410 https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2132470652 In life it is said that you have to have a big dream to make it, to be happy, to live. One must have huge goals and dreams to pursue, to go forward, to go higher.A job that is accepted by society with a fierce working competition aura around the others to make it. Something that one may not love, not the route they want to go in. Dreams that you have may be forced upon you by circumstances and needs. “dreams are manufactured for us to work, to keep you being productive and consuming then again that will never grant satisfaction.”]]> 2022-04-06 12:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mrutledge16_1/wxiglegqs7fxhias/wish/2132470652
