my life in indonesia

the work in this place is driving me crazy
the fumes and taxings are making me hazy
I dont know haw much I can bear
its like they dont even care
low pay for alot of work
there all a bunch of jerks
skueasing the life out of us
not to make such a fus
its better if i didnt work

the pain shared between the two

1. How is the life of sweatshop workers in L.A. the same as those in Indonesia? How is it different?
the similarity between the two s that the workers are paid very little and both people are unhappy with their life stile. the difference is the other company makes sneakers and this one makes clothes. one is located in LA and the other one Indonesia.

2. Why is it that poor immigrants (newcomers) end up working at sweatshops? Why don’t they work as lawyers or doctors or at MacDonald's? they don't have documents in the us and without documents you cant work a normal job. another issue is education people in Indonesia never had the chance to have an education.

3. Predict what’s going to happen by the end of this movie
i think the movie is going to end them continuing to strike. it could take a long time to stop forever 21 or harder yet Nike to stop mistreating workers.

1. Who does Forever 21 blame for the sweatshops? Why?
they blame the contractor since hes the one to hire the workers.

2. What’s wrong with Forever 21′s argument?
it doesnt want to take responsibility towards the workers. the choose to do nothing abaut it.

3. Why do the workers continue to protest even if it means they might lose their jobs?
it not worth keeping a job that your not even paid much for, its better to speak up then to stay quiet.

nike workers in indonesia

1. How much do Nike workers make in Indonesia each day? How many hours a day do they work?
workers are paid a dollor an hour twenty five a day a week

2. What is life like for Indonesian Nike workers at home?
life as a nike worker is terible, you live in a hut with fife or six peaple and conditions there can make you very ill.



3. Why won’t Nike talk to Jim or Leslie or let them visit the shoe factory?
because they dont want anyone giving them a bad name of their company . even thought there company are doing something wrong.

this summer I had the aportunity to go to 14 street by myself I was really exited abaut it I thought going there will be a piece of cake until a gang fight acurd just when out of my building I went back inside hoping nobody saw me, I went to my mom told her what hapend and i never went outside alone ever since.

This summer was so boring I couldnt play any of my games because I was punished I couldnt go outside. I spent all summer doing nothing It was the most boring summer I have ever had in my life.

This summer I had the chance to go to a sweet sixteen party at I knew it was going to suck but when I got there it so hot every one started to get all the tissues to wipe their sweat of their face when all the tissues ran out my mom, my brothers and I went home right away glad to be out of that party.

war simulation

1. What are 3 advantages of having war simulations?

an advantage to having a war simulations is that if you have to train to not shoot civilians you can just go to the simulation and see if your ready. you can olso train to be able to shoot your enemy in time or if your able to kill enough targets.

2.  What do you think this technology will look like in 10 years?

I think in the future there will be vests that simulate light pulses representing bullets to see if you can get your target before it get you.

bottled water

1) Is bottled water cleaner and tastier than tap? Explain.

no it is not tastier or cleaner than tap water. In fact there have bin numerous taste tests proving that tap water is better than bottled 

2)  How is bottled water made?  Where does it go after you throw the bottle away?

bottled water is made in a factory were they use oil (which harmful to the environment) to make the bottle for the water.  When it is disposed, bottled water is either dumped in land fills where it never disolves (which is bad for the environment) , or melted down where it turns into air fumes of oil that are also harmfull to the environment and the air we breathe. 

3) What can you do to help solve the bottled water problem

You can help the environment by not helping the bottle water companies. How can you do that you ask? BY NOT BUYING ANY BOTTLED WATER! If you care for your environment you don't care for bottled water.

THE PREDATOR DRONE

1. How is fighting an enemy with predator drones different from fighting hand-to-hand combat?  How is it similar?

                                                              THE PREDATOR DRONE

fighting in a predator drone is different from being in hand to hand combat because handling a predator drone has no danger to the controller,but the soldier in the war has a risk of losing his life to another soldier. Another difference is that a soldier might not see his family for years ,as for a predator drone handler can see his family every day.

2. Is fair to fight with predator drones when your enemy doesn’t have that technology?

In my opinion it is fair because if another country wants to go in war with us we should use the technology we have for war since we want to win.

3.  Would you be interested in flying predator drones for the military? Why or why not?

I wouldn't consider it as a job,but flying one would be an interesting experience for me.

a) Are you someone who normally listens to music while studying?  Why or why not?

no because it distracts me in mater what type it is.

b) How was your score on the quiz?  Did the number surprise you? Why or why not?

it did not surprise me that that I had almost every answer wrong besides reading with those type of songs is hard.

c) During the Techbrarian Distraction Test was there any type of music that distracted you more than others?  If so, explain why.

the hip hop music distracted me the most since it had words.It distracts you of the words you are reading in the text.

d) How do you think you would have done on the test if there were math problems instead of a story?

it would have bin easier but it would still be a challenge.   

1. Why do you think someone becomes addicted to gaming?

I think someone becomes addicting to gaming because of his or her life. for example, a man who has no life and has no one in his life can enter a gaming world and be somebody else someone who has a life who people respect and then suddenly you see yourself playing for hours an hours and finds their-self morning night hungry and thinking haw long did I play for.

2. Make up a list called  “5 ways to tell that you’re addicted to Gaming”.

1. you play for hours with no sleep or food

2. you spend most of your time indoors playing video games

3. you hardly spend any time friends up close instead talk to the people in the game

4. the only knowledge you know is about the game you play 

5. your life playing the video game gets in the way of your own life

WHY DO YOU THINK SOMEONE BECOMES ADDICTED TO GAMING?

I think the reason people get addicted to gaming is because some people find gaming  a way to calm their nerves and not be stressed. For example, let's say there is a man who just lost his job, got divorced to his wife, and has a mediocre life.  This man has no dignity, but when he goes to his house and plays a game such as world of war craft he can travel around the digital world and gain respect from the players and be stress free like if the game in the computer was really his life or at least he would wish it was.
