It is really striking to see how broad of an issue lead poisoning in Philly is, while simultaneously there is no coverage of the issue. It is most troubling the communities and groups of individuals being severely impacted by this public health crisis. From our research for the infographic we found that children who live in neighborhoods with high lead levels are not just at risk in their homes; but they are equally at risk in their schools. All these communities share so common elements that make this public health issue more shady and nefarious in nature. All of the communities are typically low-income communities of color.  This stirs together the perfect "stew of injustice". Young children should not be poisoned in their homes or school when the issue is preventable.

Tornadoes

Posted by Amir Leaphart-Curry in Environmental Science · Aziz · C on Friday, September 14, 2018 at 10:22 am
​Tornadoes impact earth systems in many ways. There is a massive transfer of energy when Tornadoes occur. Most of the time that energy comes from the atmosphere and is stored in the form of potential energy in the water vapor of a supercell storm. Regarding the earth's system, no system is isolated. They all interact with each other and impact each other. In discovering tornadoes and how they form, the connections of each of the earth's systems are observable, especially how the atmosphere impacts the biosphere. If we understand how natural disasters impact the earth, then we can better prepare for them. We know that increased moisture in the air enables the likelihood of Tornadoes.to be more prevalent, so if we do not work to curb global warming, tornadoes will be more likely. We can prepare to be safe from tornadoes by taking elementary steps like staying in cellars or away from windows when they strike. But the broader point is working to slow global working.

Electric Art

My art project will entail a red bandanna motif bucket hat. Which will have a circuit of lights upon it. I think that specific hat is unique, and represents my zest for fashion. I think it’d be interesting to incorporate fashion and physics. My fashion varies from cool and suave to bright and bold. I think this bold accessory combined with physics which is also bold will be a lit combination.

The Internet & You

Posted by Amir Leaphart-Curry in TECH 1 - Hertz - e2 on Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at 8:54 am
Title Slide

Slide 2: The internet assuming I would make a mistake or was unaware while online it could result in negative consequences like bullying or slander.

Slide 3: People's internet presence do not always have to be negative. In fact they can be positive and be an outlet for self expression even though they could be critiqued or judged.

Slide 4: My number one rule for people who feel they have a large online presence or any at all should, be aware and cautious and think before they contribute.

Social Media Survival Guide

Social Media Survival Guide


1:  I think my identity online is not so vast that their is room for negative conspiracy or speculation. I am a student of acceptable means and just an average person who likes to use social media to express my thoughts or feelings.


2: The perception that people may have on me is based entirely on how they think and how much thought they put into my posts online. I think I just have an average identity, a person who is just trying to express their thoughts and feelings. I don’t think there's any negative association with what I post, because I try to be mindful.


3: I usually consider will people like this and will I like it. Is it safe and or appropriate and what do I want to express are among the thoughts I might think before posting online.


4:     The pros may be: Getting to get your message across, Informing people of an important message, Giving knowledge. Some cons could be, the possibility of provoking someone, slander, bullying etc…


5: If you put something online once it is there it could be there forever as you are not aware if someone could have taken it for themselves even after you have deleted it.  For lack of control if you were to take a selfie with someone and it was on their device, you have no control.

6: Personally I have mixed feelings about social media checks. We looked at a twitter account of a woman who wanted to be a lawyer. Some of the things that were mentioned could be seen as provocative to the job she was applying for. So it is open perception, the person who posts it could have one opinion but the person who is looking might have another. I would say yes and no, it depends on the explicit nature of the post and how obvious it is.


7:  Free Speech in my opinion is the right that anyone may say whatever they wish and it may entail whatever they want. But ironically free speech does not support all speech. Slander, Fighting words, bullying etc…. We technically have limited speech in the US, that is if you are not willing to take the consequences.


8: An internet troll is a person who usually posts things with intention to annoy or hurt a person or group of people. They subsequently hope for a response as that is what gives them joy. An internet troll usually possess traits like sadism or narcissism.


9: Internet trolls goals are to get people to respond to them and or annoy/hurt them. They usually like to respond to people and keep the argument going as it provides the trolls with satisfaction.


10: I don’t believe trolling can be stopped. There are ways to decrease the amount of trolls. One way is to just ignore them, or to put knowledge on them.


11: The pros are it keeps your identity safe, it also allows you to be able to keep your posts safe. The cons could be is of you are a troll, you could hurt others and get away with it, it could be constant because of the anonymity.


Three Tips

  • Be extremely aware, try to think before you post!

  • Make sure you have an explanation to why you have posted something

  • Follow all protocols and rules for you and others safety.
