give us your thoughts!
thanks!

Cosumerism

Consumerism is a social and economic order based on fostering a desire to purchase goods and services in ever greater amounts(Wekipidea). What do you think about this video? Do you think you are always cosumed by cosumerism? In the video, a lyrics repeats several times--"There is a wonderful life." What do you think about that ?At the end of the video, it's dark. Any idea about this ? Do you think cosumerism injects in your life unconsuiysly? What kind of influence does it have on your life?

This is a video my teacher showed the class senior year that I still find very interesting.

The Greatest Speech Ever Given.

Hello everyone!
Our video is from a 1940's movie called The Great Dictator and stars Charlie Chaplin.


A couple questions for you to think about and respond to:
Do you agree that this was indeed the greatest speech ever given? Do you agree with the content of the speech? How do the images help the message of the speech or harm it? Does the music contribute to the mood/feeling of the speech or depreciate it?

Changing Educational Paradigms

This is a video I came across on a friend's Facebook page. Who do you think the intended audience for the video is? What is the speakers main argument? How does the animation work in this video? Does it enhance certain points? Does it appeal to the audience in some way?
