Immigrants, We get the Test Done.

I have been going to a class called "Nation's Argument" where a student learns about the US constitution, premises and conclusions, and the history of the US. Not only that, but the class also went to an aldermen assembled meeting that spoke on a new policy created by Homeland Security and the executive branch of the US.
Throughout the term, students had learned about the original Citizenship test which consisted on simple one word answers and had 100 questions randomly selected. This document is a proposal for a new system or format for the test. It tries to not only fix the problems but also make it easier for applicants to engage in the test.
I am proud of the different solutions that I had created during this assignment, as well as the augments and acknowledgement of flaws on the original. However, the indepence given from my teacher on the format did create certain barriers I had to overcome. Still, I hope you enjoy the presentation.

Here is a qoute that connects to my reference on the Declaration of Independence.
".. that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.."

This image below is an unfinished version of a skeleton reading the constitution called The Originalist. The reason the drawing is unfinished is because it represents how I feel about the answers and question on the citizen test. That it feels the structure isn't thoughout, and therefore the question are limiting. Just like this drawing, it is a shame that we have an unfinished test with one answer questions that, despite the fairly simple questions, seem to fail the people that it is supposed to help.

My Favorite Movie

When reviewing a film, one cannot just state "this is bad because I felt" and then leave for the day. They must explain the film with reason and examples that make strong argument for their point. This is what my class, Ollywood, has been learning since the beginning of the course. Certain prompts are within the realm of post-production such being editing, music score, sound effects, and much more within the film. We also went to certain locations such as Gene Siskel Film Center, MorningStar, and many more. Each experience gave the class and me a better understanding on how to interpret the medium.
What we had to do for a project was to create a review and use certain production techniques in order to invest the audience within the video.We also had to talk about interpreting the film with a perspective such as feminism in order to find implications of the film. What made this review hard to do was the edits from recordings limited enough to follow the exceptions of the instructor and audience. However, I am proud of this film and am hopeful that the challenges faced were won over.
The film Wrinkle in Time was directed by Ava DuVernay, produced by Disney, and includes actors such as Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, and Deric McCabe. It is mostly from the fantasy family genre and was released during the year of 2018.

I wasn't really expecting any improving qualties of the largest brand of America when it comes to recycling, but I should have realized better. After all, it is a company that has millions of people buy burgers from them everyday, so it wouldn't be impossible that a group of people would question how so much consumerism is affecting the natural world around them. That is something my class, Biomimicry, and I tried to find out. For this project, we had to understand certain lessons such as closed loop systems, biomimicry, and what scientist are doing right now to solve the amounts of landfills in the US. We had also went to certain trips to different organizations such as The Plant and Interface, as well as meet representatives from Healthy Soil Compost.
For this project, we had to research a large company or item to see what practices were used to create the item. Once found, we would try to think of solutions in order to tie loose ends of the project. This wasn't an extreme project like others, but I am still proud of the solutions I had created and I had trouble finding exact statistic/numbers for the project. Still, I would highly recommend anyone else to research so they can conclude their own findings.

When looking at it, I really do believe McDonalds could create these factors within their plan, and please more people. However, there are parts I hadn’t taken into account that would be the reason why they couldn’t do these things, so I myself ignorant about closing the loop of a world wide company. Still, I wish I had more time (for myself) to add more interesting visuals within the project like the last two. I also wished McDonalds would state their statistics rather than myself gain an estimate from a secondary source. Still, it’s always fun to wonder what something could do to improve.
