Food Inc. & My Ishmeal


The concept of how we are causing everything and we can't really do
anything immediate to counterattack this situation really strikes me
because as soon as I see how all of this is happening I want to do
something about it and stand up but I don't really know how approach
it. I agree on how if we continue living this way it's not gonna lead
us anywhere and we need to change it now before it evolves to much and
were even more stuck. My family agrees with me, but i saw in a sense
like they said well ok that's how it is we can't really do anything
about it and just seemed depressed about the situation.

School Daze & School Dave 2 Dialectic Journal


Quote: "Through Rachel, I became a student of your educational system. In effect, I went to school with her. Most of the adults in your society seem to have forgotten what went on when they were in school as small children. If, as adults, they were forced to see it all again through the eyes of their children, I think they'd be astounded and horrified."


Response:

What makes me think about this is that kids reflect a lot what they learn in school and what they are brought forward in their knowledge. Based on the actions and the expression towards school started changing, Ishmael also got to see what her educational system was like and how it never changed much. And it says that "I went to school with her." He didn’t really actually go to school with her but interpreted everything. Also I see how if I went to any of my grade levels before I would be pretty devastated and wouldn’t really want to repeat the experience. Adults should remember what it was like to go to school so they can help out with what’s going on in school and not have to be so far off in their new vision of school from our vision of school
