Journal Entry for Feb 17th, 2012

Students are show a compilation of photos of their Counterpoints textbook (Ch 6) of suburbanization, urbanization and industrialization on the left & photos of the same concepts on the right (only looking at it from how the environment has been impacted). The Prompt: Look at the following photos and their captions. Notice that the photos on the left are from your textbook and the ones on the right are the same topic but from the perspective of how it has altered the natural landscape. So, how would the stories of the post war period change if they were told from the perspective of the air? The water? The plant life? Are we getting better at telling their stories?

It is difficult to care for the environment when everyone else drills it into your head that other aspects are more important.

If the stories of the booming happy post war period were told from different perspectives I dont believe that it would thoroughly reflect humanitys perspective. On one hand, the end of the war meant less air and water pollution.

I listen to classical music mostly, which although containing a message is hard to derive much meaning from. The kinds of songs I am periodically attracted to (rather than those I regularly listen to) speak of environmental messages, and have a happy tune. I think this

However, consumerism, the automobile era, contributed much more pollution to the atmosphere, ocean, and lakes. Humans didnt realize what they were doing, didnt see any wrong in landfills, dumping garbage into the ocean or increasing dependence on oil. We knew so little, and for this reason, I believe the story of the 1950s-1990s would be a very sad one as seen from the perspective of the air, water, and plantlife. This entry is proof that we are getting better at telling the untold story-at least now we know. Knowing is hardly enough, though. Now comes the hard part. Now comes the action. If one were to look at the stories of post war change through the eyes of the

Environmental responsibility (#4) is, therefore quite high on my list. This stems from loving the forest and, to a degree hating progress and what humans have created (cities, power plants).

On one hand there are the depressed, unmotivated and wholly boring individuals with no dreams (like Avery and Matt there). I see those people, those young people, I could cry. Right now Im so depressed because they just dont see. Theres something more. Whatever battle I fight, whether for the environment or peace, will I have to fight alone? I pray not. I pray they mature. And then on the other hand there are those like Chae Ri, Tatiana, on the (anti-)FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) who act for a greater purpose. I hope I can count on them.

Our progress is their destruction. However, slowly we are making progress to a greener future. Im constantly trying to catch my breath as smoke engulfs my lungs, the air whispers as is swiftly passes through a munitions factory. Im always on the look out for cover to shield myself from napalm and bullets, the plants weep. The oil spills from ships passing through suffocates me, the water speaks it washes onto shore.

I believe that Joseph Kony is infringing upon the freedom of youth. Not only is Kony forcing children out of their homes in hopes of not being abducted, but when he is fortunate enough to abduct a child, he takes away all rights including freedom of speech and having the audacity of forcing children into doing things that are unwanted by them.

During the second world war the air in parts of Europe was a horrible stuck poisons and dirty from the late nineties till now present day the air is full of bad chemicals, gas, and horrible stenches in the cities and factory areas. Vietnam and Hiroshima both have plant life that has been disturbed by horrible chemicals from the wars. Even since all of the oil spills that have happened the water is not so clean anymore especially all the sewage going out into the water. So compared to 1940s and present

My core values: Energy I want to enjoy every moment of my life. I want every day to be happy and energetic. Bravery I dont want to look back at my life and regret if I was too afraid to do/try something. Spontaneous I want to keep my life exciting and not boring. BTW, both my bellybutton and cartilage piercing were spontaneous. Hard-Working I want to be successful. In school and in the future. I believe dedication and hard working is necessary. Health Im not a crazy health-person, and I also eat junk food, but I consider health life style is important. All the morals are ranked about equal. Environmental

The song, in my opinion, represents the soulless consumeristic society. Its about how people search for materialistic needs that wont satisfy our needs. How money and all the bling we buy will one day be gone and not have any sentimental value to us. Jack Johnson seems like he values the real things in life. By real I mean things that may not be expensive to purchase but valuable and necessary for souls. Some songs I listen to have no reflection of my values (at least I hope!). Like some of the rap songs I may listen to I listen to just because it is fun to listen to or sing and dance along to. Cos my values have nothing to do with Rock City Chick pg version, Super Bass. I really hope my morals are

Where you live should not determine whether you live. Kony 2012 video I think the values of this video are peace, courage, freedom, humanitarianism, and love. I think it is very courageous of the creator of the video to be so outspoken about Joseph Kony. It is shining a very much needed light on a horrible topic not many people know about. It also promotes peace, freedom, and a better quality of life internationally.

Stuck like glue by sugarland. It sounds so fun and upbeat. If there are deep messages and values in my generations music, I do not know it. I guess when I am singing along to the radio Im not exactly thinking of other things or zoning out. I guess some influential singer/songwriters of my gernation are Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Jack Johnson and Bon Iver. The songs that I listen to varies at times, sometimes I like to listen to the songs that has meanings, because it reminds me of my goals, my priorities. Often I listen to songs that reminds me of my family because I live away from

Much has changed in how everything is perceived from the past to modern day. If it were from air, plant life and waters perspective, while everyone is thinking this is all great. Most others such as the air and others, would probably hate all this due to pollution. If the stories of post war were told from the perspective from things like water, air and plant life, they would say that a lot

has changed, and some, not very good changes. Everything present now is a lot more built up and has expanded. The post war era of technology, for instance is trying to draw in consumers. Now, today, there are billions of consumers who are almost abusing our land and pollution going into the air. It seems today that many consumers are taking it all too far and not thinking about our environment. People need to be more aware of how they are using their resources etc. Today pollution is getting worse so air is bad. It started getting worse after the past war pollution.

beneficial to future, helpfulness want to be able to aid others and help in need. In all honesty, environmental responsibility fits pretty low on the list because our parents drive us places, and as teenagers are sometimes too consumed in out lives and forget about the environment. We are also not as aware about what the dangers are of what can happen.

they do represent our society. However on my ipod, I have many playlists that correspond to different moral and events. Today, in my era, it seems that love percolates in my generation of music. When listening closely to the artists work, they reflect a lot on their personal love life whether its a bad break up or something or a dream.

Society has felt that they to help the children in Uganda. Kony 2012 values freedom for these children and for society to start a movement in capturing Joseph Kony. I hope that 2012 will be the year that Kony is captured so that the children can live a normal, happy, and healthy life.

why we are doing this but I think the air would be happier and more upset because it would be glad to know that we are aware of what is going an are trying to help but upset because it is still being hurt. Now that I think about it, Im pretty sure all three (water, plant life, air) are all in the same situation.

1. Family 2. Friends 3. Excitement 4. Humour 5. Outgoing Environmental responsibility is further down the list because I value the way others treat me more than I value the environment, its a terrible thing to say but it is the reason its further down the list, but Environmental Responsibility is about half way down the list for me.

strong because I tend to like the top 40s and the music you would hear on the radio, mainly the beat, but then I like a lot of the British artists like Coldplay, Ed Shern, The Script, the Fray, One Direction. Honestly I have no idea what this tells me about myself. Maybe it tells me I can be loud and upbeat but as well as more calm and quieter I think. Not really sure. Finally I dont think there is a movement through music with our generation.

2012 movement is that it is a great cause but it could be a problem for some kids cant protest because they could get hurt it is unsafe.

I dont fully understand the question. During the post war, the air, water, and the plant life would be horrified. People were uneducated about the terrible things they were doing to the environment. We are better at telling their stories.

My three moral values Absent are (At Ted Talks) -Telling the truth (trust) if people dont trust me I panic and become obsessed with trying to get them to trust me I dont know why --in the words of Russel Peters do the right thing I am an extremely guilty person and doing an immoral thing literally keeps me up at night. --attempting optimism looking on the bright side of things makes life easier. Environmental responsibility is not one of my major concerns. It isnt because Ive just never needed to worry about it. The songs that I listen to, reflect my values because I can always embrace the feeling and emotions by the artists. I can relate to the songs and often listen to different songs depending on my mood. This will definitely show

A value being taken away from the children of KONY is freedom. Kony is taking the children and taking their right to make their own decisions.

If the air could speak itd tell us now the post-war era hasnt been good for it. The new commercial automobiles and flights have polluted the air so much, and were only starting to pay attention now. Also all of the extra machinery used for mining and suburbanization has contributed to more air pollution. The water would be more content though, because weve started to clean it more and preserve it from pollution. Plants see both sides. On one hand were out them down and destroyed their land. On the other hand weve started to replant and recycle out garbage to prevent land fills. I am water. Ive

It began with the odd yet painful shakes of the earth as their weapons hit the dirt. Then they invented a car which releases a taste so gross and vial, I turn unhealthy and unpure. I watched as they kill my friends, the plants, one by one to make room for ugly slabs of concrete they call home. They are getting better, they are listening to our cries but will it be enough? Only time will tell.

happiness, loyalty, creativity and family. These are important to me because if you arent happy, you wont get the most out of life. If someone isnt loyal to me, they wont feel the urge to be honest with me. I have no respect for liars. Creativity is also important because I love to use my imagination and finally without my family, Id be lost. I think environmental responsibility would be at the end of my list. Even though I know how important it is and we arent to take the world for granted, just life is so short that my other values come first.

to really reflects my values because I am often listening to songs about being thankful for what your given. I also listen to music because I like to take the time to imagine past, present & future in my life and a lot of my songs allow me to do this. It shows who I am because most songs I have are often pictures of my life experiences. Secondly, I think my generation does not have a movement and the reason I think this is because our generatio is too focused on individual problems rather than problems that affect us all. I also think were lazy and very oblivious. I believe our generation thinks too highly of ourselves and think we can do anything. With these problems, we are unable to think of anything or anyone except for ourselves. Another reason we invented the word lol how sad is that? Im

The air is being further polluted every passing day, with growing pollution and technology. The plant life is being taken away by development and the water is polluted by human waste and garbage. I think that today we are becoming more conscience about the environment, but not nearly as good as it should be, I think if air, water and plants could talk they would not think we are doing a good job. The ratio to people helping the environment and people polluting, and developing is far uneven, in a bad sense.

1. Happiness 2. Friendship/famil y 3. Adventure 4. Environmental responsibility 5. Ambition Environmental responsibility is a very important value, but in life it is hard to have it as one of your top. I wouldnt say it is my least important value, but it is definitely not my most important. Being a teenager in the modern world is difficult to achieve environmental efforts. We are constantly in the car, we dont think much about recycling, we occasionally litter and we dont go out of our way to sustain the environment when its easier to not. This truth is not one we would like to believe, but it is the truth, even

sure if there was an ipod app for creating your own movement, we may start one. I think in my generation there is a protest for what we believe in, but we just express it in different forms, like music. A lot of messages come through songs, because the fans look up to and trust their idols. Protests can differ from anti-war to environmentalism, consumerism, and social media awareness. There are songs out there that we like that are completely pointless and also ones that have meaning. I think the artists that express what they feel about all these constroversial topics and share that with the world are good ones.

Peace not war Help innocent children Proves 1 person can make a difference I like how he is targeting teens because this is happening to teens and children in Africa (in reference to the author of the vimeo video). Freedom Safety All in all its better than not doing anything about the situation.

In the 1950s everyone saw everything positively. There was new development and everyone was happy during the post war period. If plant life, air and water had thoughts and feelings and were able to be heard they would not be as happy as the people around them. Plants would be losing their friends and family, and air would feel trapped and uncomfortable due to the lessened amount of space. Air would also feel dirty because of pollution. Water may, however feel like the cool guy on the block. Hes allowed into all these new homes through the tap, while boys and girls everywhere are playing with him in their front yards all

if we do contribute a little, we always could do better. a) Honour, hardwork (determination), individualism knowing what you want so you can get there. Honour because anyone could have courage but to have true honour to stand up for people and yourself is meaningful. Hard work because you cant get anywhere without it. Individualism because knowing what you wan tis half the battle. If you have path to follow life is much easier. b. It (Environmental Responsibility) is definitely not a priority. The things created in life were made to be used not preserved. Saying this, however, I dot not leave all my lights on or drive a hummer. I am aware of the environment and

I generally like to not talk and think to myself. When I listen to music it helps me think a lot more about anything. Probably my favourite thing to do is walk by myself outside while listening to music, so its the only think I can hear. I do not like to listen to popular music. In my opinion its not really music its just beats. Pop music may have a message, but a majority of its listeners are not the smartest groups of people. I listen to music with ands, however, Im not a hipster. I just enjoy real music (even if its classical) because I play an instrument. I would classify the music as light, upbeat rock. Id say this reflects me because as a person Im not trying to fit in. Im trying to stand out. Im also very realistic which ties in to the real music that I like.

Kony is not allowing children to life freely, according to the video. They have no rights to live the way they want to. The kids also have to disobey their predisposed and learnt morals. They do this by killing their parents and mutilating innocent children. These are the only values I think Kony is directly affecting.

The post war period in the textbook was described as the era of development. During this period, a lot of technologies were undergoing a great change, such as automobiles, TV, appliances, etc. However, this period wouldnt be viewed so successful if it was being described in the environmental perspective. The air would be disappointed today because there have been a lot of sever consequences brought by the industrial development. The car is one of the key killers of the environment. As more and more cars are being produced, the iar starts to

Im not wasteful. Until theres a major problem, not many people will care and I do not care enough to make a difference. Excellence, experience, attractiveness. I value these characteristics because they are significant traits for a good teen to have. I strongly suggest that all teenagers aim for excellency. They should excel at various aspects, like athletics, academics or art. Experience is very important too. We should start building our experience in other to gain maturity. Maturity is very important in this society. It directs you towards success. Attractiveness is something adults care less often (unless you are a model). However, we should start building our attractiveness as early as possible so that we wont worry about

I cannot think of a protest.

Today weve been listening to a few songs that are meaningful. One song I find in particular resonate with is Jack Johnsons gone. It conveys a message that I agree with. It states the people should stop buying expensive items because they only create emptiness in peoples spirits and minds. I totally agree. Teens nowadays do seem focused in expensive brands that are not worthy. They buy it because they (??? cant read the word he wrote) them proud among friends. Yet if one really wants to be respected by people, he should focus more on developments of spirits and knowledge. Children nowadays protest less than people

From the incident of Kony 2012, Justice is the value that is being described. Joseph Kony, a leader of guerillas, commits a lot of war crimes and promotes battles between nations. He illegally organizes teenagers and children to recruit armies. At the same time a lot of female teenagers are being abused. In this case, it is an indication of a lack of justice. Anyone who saves the Children of from being abused would be considered as just.

Plants would be angry too. They might have stopped the harvestation due to industrialization if they knew their condition in 2012. In conclusion, I feel that human-beings are too self-centered they should leave space for other beings, like plants or air, just because they are so closely-knitted that they would live without each other.

While eating, drinking, living; rather all of the problems are taken care by their parents. They are living so happily that they only focus in entertainment (or mostly in entertainment) that they care less about social issues and individual lives. If they dont have any concerns about living, then they viritually dont need to go on streets protesting. The protests will only happen when they are hungry and have nothing to eat.

FEB 17 I do not entirely understand the question thoroughly due to the fact that I dont learn about the environment into depth, although, I do not feel the need to learn more about the environment. This is because I feel that even if small amounts of people change their ways this will not affect the universe as a hole. The pictures in the textbook tend to over expose and exaggerate which does not tell us the full story. Absent from school (field hockey tournament) In our society, I find people listen to different types of music depending on what they are doing or what mood theyre in. If kids are partying they want to listen to continue partying. If a kids is depressed the music that makes them feel that state will support how they feel or there actions. For ex. Some music I feel that I believe in I relate to the lyrics and others I listen to soley for the purpose of the catchy toon that makes me feel happy. Part III: I feel that kds within 2 or 3 years of me dont protest at all that much unless you find a kid that feels strongly about politics. In the community I live in kids would protest for dumb things like getting a car, or clothes, they want. Unfortunately many kids dont see the real issues in life and if I hear kids protesting it does not

I feel that if this guy didnt make this one boy a promise he wouldnt have the same weight on his shoulders to fulfill a promise; if he did not make a promise I feel that he would be trying to make a difference but not as much. I feel one of the values behind it are safety and the value of life. No kid should be put under pressure of running for life or forced to kill family members. Every teenager should be given power and say at any age. They should not have to fight for their life or get brainwashed to kills people. The values of their life and safety is what means the most.

I dont entirely understand the question, but from what I understand the pictures show what they want us to believe. They do not really show us what is really happening, and that is pollution.

My core values: confidence, happiness, balance, courage, honesty. I would place environmental responsibility as a value farther down on my list because I am not very knowledged and therefore dont care that much. If I was educated about this a little more it would have been top 3 of my values.

We were shown pictures from the textbook and others from a different perspective. These pictures were off topics like suburbanization, consumerism and mega-projects. In my opinion, as time has progressed, we have become more cognizant of the nature around us. I also believe that in the future, media will portray ever more real perspectives.

My core values are honesty, pride, loyalty, kindness and justice. To be honest environmental responsibility does not rank too high on my core values list. I feel that because it is more of a new concept, it hasnt been ingrained into society as much as the others. I would think that awareness will increase in the future and that may or

sound like it should be a protesting matter. The songs that I listen to reflect my values My values are happiness, confidenceetc listening to happy songs makes me happy when I am upset. The songs that I listen to are an accurate reflection of who I am and what my values are because I want to be happy and confident and the songs that I listen to are happy. I think that my generation doesnt protest because we are scared of what the consequences may be. Currently, I listen to mostly 80s rock music by the likes of Bon Jovi, Poison, Motley Crue and AC/DC. I think it shows that I am unique in regards to my generation, not conforming with the status quo. I also appreciate the depth of these songs, the amount of time it takes to perfect and the mere beat. I dont really feel that the music of our generation

We have introduced sustainability, recycling and waste management into the world. We now have numerous organizations working to keep the environment clean and healthy only because the human population has finally realized that were approaching an end fairly quickly. To be blunt its all due to our selfish quality that we are attempting to save mother nature. Yes, were are more efficient at delivering info about our degrading environment. But no, were not that much more efficient at stopping any environment problems. Schools need to begin teaching more about these issues.

These characteristics of my songs also represent my core values; peace, serenity, diversity, uniqueness. I believe that the song that reflects on our era is where is the love by the black eyed peas because it talks about all the war going on and how people are still discriminating ad after what they personally want, not whats good for the world, not peace.

Ms. Pagtakhan showed us some images on suburbanization, consumerism and mega projects of the post war period. The pictures from textbook show that it does not tell us the entire story.

Environmental Responsibility: This one of my most important values, I think. My family and I strive for obsolete recycling tactics, sustainability and waste management. Environmental responsibility is very important to me. My values are: 1.money 2.open-mindedness 3.honesty 4. happiness 5. confidence My priorities and values do not involve environmental responsibility, because I think at this age, we do not have much of a choice, therefore it is very far down my list so

I dont think we have a Absent protest song but if I were to pick one, it would be crazy simple plan because it really brings up what I personally think is wrong in our generation and society. The songs I listen to reflect my value for happiness. I generally listen to more upbeat music because I like to enjoy myself. Also the

reflect my value for honesty and confidence because I listen to some feel-good music, and things I can generally relate to personally. I dont think our generation has an excuse to protest. We tend to be rebels without a cause and pick on the smallest things when in reality we are mostly happy with what we have but we are too scared to admit it. Absent.

The word has definitely gotten out more but the teaching are not shoved at us enough so we are not worried about the implications of our action environmentally worse. Thus and more reproduction = worse economic things.

Loyalty, friendship, strength, compassion, fun It (Environmental responsibility) is absent. I would rank it like near last to be completely honest. It barely even comes up in thought. I just dont care because I dont feel its that needed to care. Subconsciously I think that its because I know that Im putting a negative effect on the environment but I dont feel anything bad will happen til after Im

I think that pity and safety are the core values to KONY 2012. WE feel bad for the Africans and feel like these other people of our (dont know what he typed) should be saved, protected and safe.

From photos on the left from counter points, one can see that there is only one perspective shown; that urbanization consumerism and mega projects are good. While they are decent, the book does not do a good job of showing the negative aspects of these three issues. It shows the clear neglect of the environment in the 1900s and the neglect to show the perspective of the environment.

My core values are: respect, cleanliness, fitness, humble, freedom. Environmental responsibility is not part of my core values because if I am environmentally friendly is not going to change the world. Environmental responsibility is really far down on the list.

B. This is an accurate description because my taste in music has not changed for several years now. This tells me that this is my personality and that I wont change for a while. I listen to every type of music; rock and roll, electro, rap, dance etc I guess this tells me that I dont really like one thing but I can be tolerant and respectful about everything. I believe this partially reflects who I am and the values I reflect.

After you watch a 30 minute video about Uganda you suddenly become a political activist. This is what is happening to teenagers during this period. The values represented by Kony 2012 are: safety for weaker children and teenagers, caring about others and addressing the issues of the world.
