Kavah: Dystopian Short Story

Just a little something I worked on for my Quarter 1 English 2 Benchmark. Basic overview, it is a dystopian short story set in 2048 and centers around the ongoing struggles of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Duo Sarah and Zafrat of opposite backgrounds live the futuristic high school life of Jerusalem, Israel. But as situations get even more tense between the nations, one doesn’t know the fire that awaits her on the other side…

Climate Change from 20th-21st Centuary

Throughout my statistics Q1 benchmark, I looked into data relating to the changes in temperature in the 20th and 21st centuries. The goal of this was to pinpoint any change in temperature and come to a conclusion about it. In our project, we were expected to look at multiple components of our data in order to prove our claim. My claim is that climate change over the years has caused a pretty large increase in temperature over the past century, and temperatures will continue to rise if we do nothing about it. Here is the data that we will then discuss.

The data is skewed. I’ve also noticed that when we examine the spread of that data, there is a noticeable bell shape in the data until we get further into the century, whereas with the 21st there is just a constant spike in average temperature in the months of january. The twentieth-century has more information to pull from, while the twenty-first-century has far less since we are not that far into this century. The rise in temperature in the twenty-first century is easier to notice than it was in the twentieth because of the rising temperatures. The data isn’t very consistent at all, being skewed to the right. There is a 10-degree increase over the 20th and the 21st. The median was used to get a more accurate sense of the data since the data is already skewed. The variance and standard deviation show us that there is a difference, a significant climb in temps and that The 21st century is pretty hot compared to the 20th century. Climate change is the reason, and we can only expect this to continue if we do nothing about it.

We believe technology can improve our lives, but not all the time. Technology was a good discover considering how it can keep us safe, and help us with things we need to know.

However, technology can sometimes put us in danger. For example, scammers can try to get you to click something and they can access private information that you can stored in your computer, phone, and any other form of technology.

We also believe that technology can reshape or reflect it. Technology is where you hear about most things going on in the world. It can be on the news or social media. when society comes up with things like for example the black lives matter movement was talked about on social media. Many people use social media. so if SO many people use social media, culture can be reshaped because of the huge audience it has.
