Toxic City
What stood out to me the most is the situation in general. Lead poisoning is a huge issue right now in Philly. The real problem is that the issue is not being confronted at all. What I am wondering is why is this story not as popular right now? Children’s live are threatened.
Sustainable Business and Resource Management
Essential Questions How do earth systems affect each other? What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future?
How earth systems affect each other is by the transfer of energy between each system and how/if that energy is being given through each system sustainably. Efforts we can make to go for a sustainable future is to think about how we use energy. Questions to consider: is our source of energy(fuel) limited? Why can’t we be more focused on how we produce our food? My reaction to our food industry and it’s sustainable future is surprised. Farming should be focused on having a more green farming style. For example, installing solar panels for energy.
Natural Disasters and Earth Systems-Earthquakes
- How do earth systems affect each other?-Earth systems are all connected by energy flow or matter. In this case, earthquakes(part of the geosphere) are responsible for the formation of tsunamis.
- How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters?-If we learn more ways to prevent or stop earthquakes we would be able to prevent casualties and millions of dollars to fix damages.
- What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future?-Start by avoiding the changes to the geological formation.
My reaction to our findings was surprising, I wouldn’t have ever thought that the hydrosphere and the geosphere would be connected, especially when it comes to natural disasters.

Instructions Manual:
My responsibilities for this project was a lot. I was the go to person to keep our section of the project going. I completed the Daily Work Journal and the Daily Organization Chart for every checkpoint. I also made sure we were caught up with our assignments and completing the aquaponics system for the fish. Filling the tank, picking out the right fish and making sure everyone has something to do was mostly what I did the time. Of course I had help, but I was mostly directing the team to get the work done.

Shannon is a 22 year old who likes to play soccer, paint mountains, and dance the night away. She loves to paint, with her paint brush, but first needs to draw her image out with her handy pencils. Though she likes her room a lot, she loves her fun room or so called study. She has a fun room, because Shannon gets stressed and bored pretty easy, so she made a fun room. Shannon filled it with a bean bag chair a desk with a chair, and recently a book shelf. So far she has only one book in it, but soon is gonna fill it with plenty of books to fill a library. She marks down the days on when she is free to relax and watch outside her sky window. Sometimes she gives out free love to her friends and workers to help them with their stress

Internet Survival Guide
Slide 1
Internet Survival Guide
Slide 2
An explanation of how the Internet has changed communication. Make sure to use at least one specific example. How the internet changed communication is that phones weren’t able to post, share or text pictures. When the first phone was invented the only thing it could do is to help people talk to one another. With the modern day phone that comes with built in internet we’re able to post, share or text to anyone we want.
Slide 3
Define Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control as they pertain to the Internet and explain how Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control affect both our offline and our online identities and lives. Include at least one example for each. Immediacy is how a post or a comment can spread throughout the internet. How this can affect our offline and online identities is that if a post is offensive or any other type of discrimination people will bully you or torment you. For example when Tyler committed suicide, his roommate was charged for murder because he was the reason Tyler killed himself.
Permanence is when a post or comment can’t be taken off online. This is due to screenshots, sharing, and re posting. How this can affect you online and offline identity is that people you don’t know can trace where that post came from and get your information and start harassing you. For example, Amanda Todd’s friends posted her flashing and shared it to everyone. That post was then seen by a child molester and he tracked the picture down and started to torment Amanda.
Lack of control is how a post or comment can be even if you delete. How it can affect our offline and online is that, online people can re post, share,or screenshot a text, comment, post or comment. An outcome of this is that even if you try delete any type of post. A example of this is when Amanda Todd flashed her friends they took a screenshot, and Amanda tried to delete the pictures, but she couldn’t because everyone kept sharing and sending.

Think Before you Post
Think Before you Post
By:Katherine Russell
Amanda Todd is mostly known for her YouTube post of her telling her story with flash cards. Her death was lead to cyberbullying(online and offline) and harassment. Her story started during a facetime online with some friends. They dared her to flash on camera, Amanda then flashed her friends, at first she didn’t think of the consequences. How immediacy in this story is that the next day (after Amanda Todd flashed her friends), the police came to Todd’s home, saying that someone took a picture of her flashing. The picture was posted online and became viral. Amanda tried her best to get it down, but a man took a screenshot of her chest and sent it to everyone she knows.
"I can never get that photo back," she wrote. "It's out there forever." quote Amanda Todd. This lack of control and performance is what drove Amanda to drugs,depression, cutting and a suicide attempt with bleach. Amanda also tried to escape her bullies by moving from towns and schools. Even though the picture was Amanda had the choice to flash or not, her lack of control online is what lead to her death. How permanence played in this story is that people who saw and took a screenshot of the picture would never forget about it. Also no one would let her forget about it either. If I ever had the chance to warn Amanda about her action, is that think before you do, because whatever you do it can haunt you forever.
