Try Again.

In my AIS class, we have been taking pictures from the Internet and we have been taking them apart to try and see what the artist's view on it was. This picture I thought was interesting because the older man of African descendant is dressed very well. His hands and face are proportionate. I don't know what to think about the young boy that is talking to the older man, the older man is paying no attention to the young white boy. The old man seems to be looking dead on straight and it almost looks like the young white boy is lecturing him due to the way that his finger is pointed at him. The young black boy isn't as well dressed and has a funny hat on. Both the white girl and the white boy are pointing their finger at him, as if he had done something wrong as well. The little black boy's face looks a little exaggerated and animal like. The women in the picture has an apron on and is caring for the children. She is starring at the white children that are pointing at the other child. I don't know if this symbolizes that they are no good, unless they are doing what is told, or if they did something wrong.

The Joy Of Giving

Now that Adopt-A-Family is over I was just thinking about how great it is that our school can do so much for people on Christmas. But then I was wondering how my advisory and so many others in my school got all of that money to pay for those numerous families to have a good Christmas. I remember how our school sold puppy chow like crazy and had bake sales everyday outside of the cafeteria. The thing that I mostly had a problem with was, why people devoted so much time and money to this cause. Is it because they felt good after they were done? Because they got something out of it? or is it our school trying to cover up because we don't want to look like rich and wealthy people that don't help anyone else? I do believe all of these reasons to exist. I think that it's such a huge thing at our school because we don't want to look selfish and because our school is so big, we can get a lot done, and help a lot of people. People wouldn't just give you money if you said you needed it for Adopt-A-Family, that's why you need to sell them something, and then you have more of a chance, and they can walk away happy and proud that they contributed. Meanwhile you can be proud because you made some one's holiday that more enjoyable. 

Is Monopolization Good Or Bad?

Everyone likes to have the best and no one likes to have to pick from too many things, so why wouldn't monopolization be a good thing? Having one company buy out a competing company is a bad idea, because the company that bought it wouldn't have anything to compete against anymore. The bought out company could have made a fortune, but that doesn't mean that this is a good thing for the people. If the companies aren't competing then technology might not improve. If eventually only one company rules all then they have the right to adjust the prices to whatever they see fit. So Monopolization really isn't the way to go.
