Interwar essay

The biggest thing that was a problema Turing the internar years was the economy. It was something that everyone wanted to fix, since the world’s economy was (and still is) the most important thing, and people’s main goal was to get out there and lead their country into a better and more stable economy. I am going to talk about the economies of France, Germany and Italy during the Interwar period and what it weas that people did to make it better. In France, the worse thing that had happened was that during the war, Germany had destroyed many buildings, towns and places. This caused the French to be in need of many reparations. Yet France’s economy was not very stable because they had investid lots of it in the war. This is why alter the Treaty of Versaille was important, because it helped to agree that Germany would pay for the famage. So after in 1925 the Treaty of Lacarno was established and France began to recieve more money from Germany, they begun the reparations and the ruler Poincaré helped the economy, which he created. I think that this was very smart because instead of making more war and military problems, the ruler settled everything peacefully and had more happy people and a better economy was reached. In Germany, Hitler was the person who took control, and that was exactly what the country needed. After the horrible loss, the country was in shambles economically and no one had any money, the government was very poor and the people were very mad. After this, Hitler came to power and this I think was bad because Hitler was an anti-Semitist and a racist person who was blaming teh Jews for WWI. This made him start a horrible movement called the holocaust, in which he turned the whole country against the Jews and began isolating them in concentration Camps. This is an inhumane thing to do, and I disagree. I think that Poincaré from France was a better ruler because he did not do things unpeacefully, and at the end Hitler ended up committing suicide. In Italy, there was also a lot of discontent from the people because they had been promised some territories after the war,but the League of Nations didn’t cede the territories because they excused themselves by disclaiming the right to grant those territories. Then, Benitto Moussolini rose to power with the help of propaganda and making the people believe in him and a new and imroved government. In an economical way, Moussolini did awesome things for Italy because he built many cities, and made services such as transport and water for whole cities. He also made new Jobs and the Italian economy became quite stable. I think this is very admirable since after that, the Italian economy was strong enough that they could help the spanish civil war, by sending aeroplanes and such. So this definetely made the country better in some ways. In conclusion, however, I think that the best was the French ruler Poincaré because he was able to improve the French economy without actually supressing the people or causing lots of violence, he simply encouraged everyone and kept them in know of what was happening, which eventually was good news. The last part, in which the economy devalues due to the United States is somehting else entirely, but overall Poincaré was the best ruler.

China/Japan Interwar Period on Prezi

Prezi or Power Point

I honestly liked Prezi. It is a new form in which teachers, students, and many people can create and entertaining presentation. There are more animations and things to do rather to stick to boring slide shows. Power Point has become something usually used by people to create presentations at school or work, and honestly they've become very cmomon and boring. If teachers knew this new instrument for presentations, everyone will be more entertained and they would actually pay attention.

In my opinion I loved prezi and will actually prefeer to use it instead of PP. Since PP has been the main program for presentations, I don't enjoy at all using it or watching presentations. Instead, with Prezi and all that zooming and turning aroung the words and pictures, I have fun doing like a show or presentation about anything. I think that Prezi is not only for presentations, but also to kill time when you are boring. You can use it to do a bday present for a friend. It would be really cool because it will have like different animations and stuff. The only thing I don't like about that is that you can't change the background like putting it in different colors, just one. Though, it is really cool :)

PSA

Working with Xime was awsome! I loved the video we did. The topic was not smoking, and the video we did was about a mom smoking inside the car with his little son in the back and the windows shut. As a consequence, his son got very sick and the doctors said he had lung cancer. We did this as a message to all the moms that smoke near their sons or family because smoking not only affects the smokers, but also the ones around him/she. Also, we sort of demonstrated one of the consequences that smoking in closed places can have. Even though many people smokes, it is not that good for no one. They really shouldn't do it, and they do know all of the consequences that smoking have and still don't care and continue doing it. That is horrible...

I wouldn't change anything from our video. I like it so much how it is and I think it was amazing! :)

The best PSA I saw was Debo's and Jade's video. It was amazing! They did a great job with making it look real because their topic was also a very common thing that teens do when they party. It was about drinking, and they showed all the stupid things teens do when they are drunk and some of the consequences. It is a reflecting video which makes you somehow realize and analize what we are doing and what might happen the next time we go to a party. It is algo a kind of reflecting video which leaves you as a message "think before acting and doing those silly choices". This was absolutaly a grat project and I wish we could do more videos like this ones... :D

PSA's

A PSA is a type of advertisement mostly shown in TV, Radio, or other media. They are similar to commercials because both are short, but they differ in many other ways. Commercials anounce a product in a funny, serious way; they leave you ceratin message so you would buy that product, and sometimes they are educative. Meanwhile the PSA's are more funny and weird (violent, gross, inapropiated). They are mostly for entertainment and at the end they give you a message like "don't play with the moon", they are talking about something unreal.
I would like to work with Xime or Debo because they have lots of imagination and creativity. Fer C. because she is very intelligent, and I know she will come up with something good. Paola or Priscila because they are crazy and very funny.
Use something of our interest like:
1. Technology
2. For girls, love.
3. For boys, sports or cars.
4. Parties
5. Music
I would make a PSA about a guy watching sports instead of being with his girlfriend or ginorng her or I don't really know. I have no ideas right now.
Maybe for technology it could be a commercial of how many silly things we do without noticing them because we are stick to our cell-phones all day.
I don't have good ideas right now, so I don't know how i could approach them if I were assigned that as an PSA.

Commercials

The three commercials I liked the most were Doritos-2011-House Sitting, Volkswager-2011-Darth Vader, and Coca Cola -2011-siege. It would be really funny to bring back to life everything we once loved just by spreading Doritos in them. In the second commercial, the boy is really cute trying to make everything work with his hands, just like the real Darth Vader. The commercial of Coca-Cola is really positive. I really like those commercials because they are very humorous and that way people can remember the product they are publishing.

I would improve All the videos by putting something that relates to the S.B. Non of the comercials have something to do with it. I would have included a coreback or a runner or a liner, or even the coach! Someone related to the teams or players. If the videos are called "S.B. comercials", well, they should make that statement true. Though, a video I thought was inapropiate was Pepsi Max- First Date. This video is not something a young kid can see because it talks about sex in not a good way. This commercials are the ones that doesn't inspire you to buy the product published.

The video I liked the most from my classmates was Jorge's. His video is very original and goes straight to the main point. The way he filmed the video was really good, the music fits perfectly, and it is really funny. Even though he was serious during the video, at the end he says something that really caught my attention and in certain way it really made me want to buy a coca-cola :) I think he really deserves a 10! He did an excellent job with the video. :)
