The video we watched that showed us that what we are doing is not sustainable really proved a point that there is so much we can do but it will not be easy. the video showed that we need to cut back on taking from the planet and maybe give a little more. It showed that we need to cut back on taking resources and we need to absolutely stop trashing things. almost everything we use can be reused but we need to take the extra step and start reusing things.  Stopping the trashing of items will be the best way of doing this and moving back into a sustainable path. If we don’t do this and if we don’t change than we are going to destroy the earth. This is a very important issue that not many people know about so i think that people need to start talking and telling other people about this subject.

The set of videos that we watched showed that corporations are out to make money and they don’t care what happens in the after math. this also is a very large stereotype that comes with being a corporation.  They made good points proving that a corporation is out to make money such as sweatshops. these places are horrible places where people make items for a company but the working conditions are less than to be desirable. Almost 50% of major companies use these  shops to make there product because  they don’t care what happens after they make the money. also many companies use the idea that they are a single person in the law of court. so that the main person in. the person who owned the company will never go to jail because he is hiding behind his company. the company will lose money and the owner will have nothing happen to him even thought he did something wrong.

This week in drama i had been absent for the days we had drama because of my throat. my absence means that i can not make a blog post for this week.

This week in drama we have been learning about not breaking our character through playing a game where we do not laugh even in the most hilarious of circumstances.  I think that this helped a lot but there are many ways that this was not fun because some people did not participate and made the game not happen.  In the short time that we able to play the game we made the most of it and it was very fun.  another thing we played was where we had random partners and the we both wore blind folds and we had to try to find each other by feeling each others hands.  this was fun and it made us work with new and different people.  before we did this we played a game where one partner was blind folded and the other was not and the one had to tell the other something to draw this was very hard and this was very interesting because we had to thing of something to draw and it could be anything.  also while you are drawing you have to keep in mind what you are drawing so you have to think while doing this. this was very interesting and challenging but made things different.

hola me llamo nick. yo soy de estados unidos. A mi me gusta practicar deportes. Tengo muchos amigos en Yis. a mi y mis amigos nos gusta jugar al baloncesto.  Casi todos los días mis amigos vienen a mi casa.  Me gusta jugar al futbol los fines de semana. Yo tengo uno hermana. tambien tengo un gato.  Mis mejores amigos son Piers y Bernie.  el verano pasado fui a Estados Unidos con piers. Tuvimos un montón de diversión. Me comida mucho american alimento. Que estábamos allí por cuatro de julio.  Despues escuela  jugamos balencesto.  Me gusta comer comida americana y también mis amigos lo hacen a.  Me gusta beber refrescos y también mis amigos lo hacen a. Soy pequeño y atlético. tengo el pelo rubio.  Tengo los ojos azules. tambien todo les gusta mi barbilla.  Me gusta estar aquí en Japón. Es muy diferent a america.  Tiene  muchas más cosas que ofrecer que america.  Además de muchas personas diferentes.

This week in drama we played some more games with changing dominate.  we played a game where we had to mumble fake words to make your partner figure out what he is doing or what he is like.  this game was a lot of fun because we had no clue what was going to happen and i found that that makes things much harder.  another game we played was the game where we had a child and he was coming home late and he did not know where he had been. the fun part was making up what they had done we made one so random(pole dancing with Mr Curvoic at the north pole). Ben actually got that one pretty easy.  the game also made you think about what they were saying.  It involved a lot of concentration and thinking.  The other game where we went around the room with different people and did the fake word was also hard.  It was a good game because it made you think to yourself what they are thinking. Also it made you do things with different people so it was also adventurous.

The best part about drama in general is that you can be with your friends and have fun while doing it.  I like playing games in class like the grandmas footstep and the more advanced game like that.  (Medusa) I Liked the hat status also because it made us think about how we can manipulate the hat to our advantage.  the Medusa game made us concentrate on what we were doing and it made us be much more vigilante. The best part about the game was having 3 lives so it made us think about how we would attack and not just running at the person. The best part about the hat game was discovering what other people are thinking and what they are plan to do.  another good part is that you are nervous about performing but when you actually start going you are not nervous anymore. being able to have partners in almost every game is a lot of fun because they are more fun to do things with. doing things are better with friends because they brighten up your day and make calss more fun for everyone and that is a lot of fun.  I think that drama will be very fun This year because i have a lot of friends in class and the class is just very fun.

Good:

I think that my team or group worked well when we recorded and planned the project.  I thought that when we were editing the project that Saimon did not do what he said he would do.  I think that we all worked together to get the job done correct.  we all helped in filming and in editing the video.  I helped edit my part and everyone else helped there point. I Think that my team was very good on the talking and communication parts of the task but on video editing we could have used some help.  I thought that my part was done well i did not read of of a script because i memerized my part in the video. everyone else used a script.  I think that saimon  did a lot of work on editing. I think marina did a lot of work on her part to and same with estia. I think our team worked well together.

I think questions the other workers would want to ask me is marina: Do you think the right thing to do is to open this factory. ANSWER I think it was a smart decision to open this factory when i am saving money and making jobs.  Saiman: Why do you like putting people in bad places ANSWER I dont  put them into the bad places i give them jobs and money how is that bad.  Estia: how Do you put people in jobs that give them such little.ANSWER I Am Giving them more money then if they were on the streets.

I have changed my opinion on some shops and companies such as Walmart and Target they both have over ten factories in China that they have been making things for a year.I my self think this is wrong and they should keep factories in america.  IF they keep factories in america then america would also be much better.

Q1) I think when the commentator said that it clouds the view he was wrong.  I think that this does not cloud the view but makes it more clear.  It might not be as fun to use a camera but does not mean that it makes the view less accurate.  The camera would slow down the view and make it easier to see what happen.

Q2)  Some arguments for tech would be that, it would show the actual winners not lucky winners or that you can not cheat with using technology.   Some arguments against tech would be that,  The game moves to slow and that it would be more fun to use human ability.

Q3) In the game of cricket I am against technology because this is a game that is fun to talk about and argue over who is the winner.  It is also a much more fun game if you can get a lucky call.

Q4) in the video the umpire needed to use the slow motion camera to see that the players leg was in the way of the wicket even though the umpire called the ball going wide.

Q5)  I think that he is fit for the sport he is playing. if he were to play a different sport he would not be as fit for it.  He is strong in his upper body and that is what you need in cricket.
