Dark Patterns

Tech Tues; 1/28/2020  Dark Patterns used in website companies and are used to trick people into buying things they really do not need or signing up to something that can slowly take away your money or someone who can hurt you. It can be dangerous and sometimes they are just simply annoying. So be careful in the websites your use, you never know what kind of danger you can run into.

Behind the ignite talk

Behind my big question, I notice a lot of people wanted the ecosystem to change better and well I really wondered, how can we make the ecosystem better? I mean who are we to make the ecosystem change? What did you feel that you want the ecosystem change? Did you feel something lit up in you or just a funny feeling? That is why I asked, "how has your journey been so far in life? What made you who you are today?"

Backup for my journals (hey,so i keep forgetting my journal so i decided to it here)(probably gonna keep updating every last day of the week)

1/15/2020-Journal topic; A feeling or thought forgotten over the break I have forgotten the feeling of expecting something to lift my energy up, when i know that i need to do it myself. When walking in this room, i just remember to just mind my own business. 1/16/2020- Journal topic; sick How I know when I get sick, well I can communicate with my body very well, I'll start with my throat, i'll feel how warm it would be and to sallow, how t hurts or just flem. Then I will feel my body try to shut down and sometimes it will mostly be in the morning. So when I try to get out of bed, my body will say 'no, i am dieing.' Then i will know, 'okay, im sick.' 1/17/2020-Journal topic; common phrase what makes one year better than the other is accomplishing and taking action in whatever it is you have been wanting to do for awhile and just simply want to do. How will I recognize that accomplishment is having feeling of happiness or the feeling of  'its about time...

Argue This

Today's lecture-1/22/2020 Syllogism-simplest form of logical argument deductive -Premises (major) -minor premise  -conclusion Truth-Validity Finding the something of real in a lie (sort of the truth but not really) Valid Truth to conclude the saying  Major Premise-Minor-Therefore-Conclusion Ex: "We want the atmosphere to change into better but why don't we act up on it?" Either we are scared. Either we do not have the encouragement. Either we do not have much information. Either us being lazy is NOT AN OPTION. It gets me thinking how bad we really want the atmosphere to change. I do not see why we keep stalling to change it. It may take awhile and may have to keep it going for the rest of our lives but we can be successful in it. Therefore, why not start now?

Down the Rabbit Hole

In today's class lecture, we got into someone named John Steinbeck, I guess a famous writer who wrote in the Great Depression and the beginning of WW2. We read his article and the teacher asked to click one link that was in the article and follow where it will lead you. Well one link I have clicked on is a woman named Rebecca Solnit and hers is Hope in Dark Times, I clicked on it because it gave me very different meanings of what I think about. One is what gives us hope when we are in a dark time. Two, having hints or a guidance. But as I looked more into it's really more of us writing our story, not on a paper with a pencil but just we express ourselves is how we tell our story and sometimes get haunted by the negative vibes we have in ourselves and haunted by the bad past we have been through. A quote from the article to end this piece today, " Hope doesn’t mean denying these realities. It means facing them and addressing them"

Today's lecture- 1/17/2020

ETHOS, PATHOS, LOGOS Ethos  or the ethical appeal, means to convince an audience of the author's credibility or character.  Pathos  or the emotional appeal, means to persuade an audience by appealing to their emotions. ...  Logos  or the appeal to logic, means to convince an audience by use of logic or reason.               Ethos-messenger Pathos,Logos-the message School can be put as a car engine Pathos influences Ethos MLK video notes;  "withering injustice" the audience's action- some were a bit bored but giving in a chance to hear what he has to say and some were ready to hear his words "one hundred years later" "found himself exile in his own land" "the america has given the negro a bad stay" "riches of freedom" "now is the time" the audience has been seen to agree and be on the same page as MLK

The World is My Library

aha!has found something!! This novel- The Hobbit; all chapters. But the first ever time the book came out and started getting recognition, it had a good review, with the mythology and all the fantasy characters, I would see why it got a great recognition. Mythology was pretty popular when it came around. As from what I have been from my perspective, the book gave me a very much good way of encouraging me to take steps in life and to not be afraid of journeys and adventures. Two Short Stories: Story 1-  The tru'ng sisters, They are sisters from Vietnam, Who daughters of a Vietnamese lord and grew up educated in books and war. They led 65 and 80 thousand soldiers volunteering to take up arm against the Chinese and restoring traditional Vietnamese government, but then the Chinese had made a comeback and it was an awful comeback but the tru'ng sisters held them off for three years but sadly like every story has come to an end. They got out numbered. They both committed suicide ...

American Literature

 A writing that has a(n) artistic value,that's literature, for the american part, don't really have much sayings for it, I'll leave it up to you. Contributing to it, I do not know how that works, but I mean if I were to look for a book or a poetry or a novel or just some writing that speaks like art, maybe that's contributing?  Get back to you when I do :0
