Lost in the World

1. The general premise of this video is that people are too dependent on their phones and obsessed with their self-image to notice what is going on around them. They are almost like robots with no thoughts of their own, just following a program.

2. The video is effective in conveying its message. The video is just creepy enough to make people pay attention and it shows problems of society in the form of a cartoon.

3. I feel that this video was an examination of our society today rather than a warning because many of the events happening in the video are evident today. The part where the husband and wife are taking a photo in the hospital while the new baby is crawling around shows how parents can sometimes be neglectful to their children thanks to devices. Also, when the girl jumps off the building the bystanders video it and then walk away rather than helping her. This is a reflection how people today say they care about a situation online, but in reality do nothing to solve the problem.

Importance of Art

"Tax dollars should not be wasted on art, music or theater classes in high school. Public high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce. Period." In short, this statement could not be more wrong. First of all, the workforce is not what it used to be. Years ago, going to work usually meant working in a factory, where you needed to have a basic knowledge of things, followed bells (like in school), and sat down for long periods of time. Nowadays, it is more common for people to make a living out of art. More kids are going to an art institution for their postsecondary education now more than ever, so saying that "tax dollars should not be wasted on art" and "p ublic high schools should be about training young people to enter the workforce" is contradictory. In addition, even if the students taking these art classes do not choose to pursue a career in the arts, tax dollars should not be considered "wasted" on them. Art

Social Media Questions 1. The trend highlight in the article is colleges tending to look up applicants on Google or social media sites. 2.  I believe this trend will continue.This is because as social media continues to becomes more widespread, it allows colleges to have more of an inside look of who they will be accepting into their college. 3. This could affect a student's future because if colleges are looking at their account and see something they don't like, they could deny admission to that student. The same goes for employers looking at an applicant's social media.

Napoleon Dynamite

1. I thought he was weird and shy. He was definitely the type to get bullied at school. 2. I thought the movie was a comedy. I think others wouldn't think that though and just think it was either weird or boring. 3. I think he saw himself as a nerd because he didn't associate with Summer and her gang so much, but he didn't care because he would just do what he wanted such as dance on stage in front of everyone and ask Trisha to the dance. 4. No nunchuck or poison dark skills but definitely art skills. Especially when it came to drawing ligers. 5. It's probably funniest for former Napoleons so they can look back and laugh at themselves and remember the quirky thinks they used to do. 6. At our school the football players and partiers are at the top. Napoleon would probably fit in with the kids who no one dislikes but doesn't really show up to any events so he isn't very well-known. I'm definitely not at the "top", I'd say I'm in the uppe
