Don't Be a Sucker Response

1) What parallels can you draw between this 1947 War Department propaganda and today's current political climate? 
There are still the same religions and societies living amongst this day and there are still some racial differences that still play apart, but not as severe.

2) How effective do you think that this video would have been when it was first shown?
It would have been really effective because people only saw their side of the story and knowing someone else's would have changed their point of view.


3) How effective do you think that this video is when shown today?
It would be mildly effective because there isn't too much discriminating in our current day, when back then the jews and catholics and free masons were all being demolished. 

4) If there is a difference, what do you think accounts for it?
I think there is a slight difference. Still in this time there are separations in race, society, religion, and much more.

The Sixth sense discussion questions

1.    Early in the movie, we discover that Cole's parents recently divorced. He’s attached to things that belonged to his dad (the glasses, the broken watch, and the gloves he wears because the house is so cold). Similarly, within Cole’s "tent," he has a set of religious statues. What do you think motivates him to collect these things? How were these things helpful to him as he dealt with "the ghosts" or with his classmates? When has physically holding onto something helped you get through a difficult time? I think he uses these objects as a self defense mechanism since he doesn't have any other self defense. Also when I was younger I would sleep with stuffed animals to keep me feel secured from danger, and thats what cole is doing with his tent full of religious statues. 2.    Think about the day in the classroom when Cole objects to the way his teacher is looking at him. Talk about the feeling Cole has of being a freak, of being told he doesn’t fit in...

Experience Cornelius

1) In a short paragraph, describe the video you just experienced. A weird short film with a line of people around a man. And theres a weird kind of music playing in the background. Then the people start to touch this man, and feed him like he's a god. 2) Have YOU ever experienced Cornelius? I have NOT experienced Cornelius. 3) How would the community of Lakewood Ranch benefit if Cornelius visited our town? I don't think the people in the community of Lakewood would care to experience Cornelius. I think they would find this quite odd. 4) In order of preference, upon meeting Cornelius, what would you do?     1-See Cornelius (i would look at him)     2-Feed Cornelius (toss popcorn in his mouth)     3-Touch Cornelius (poke him)  In that order...literally 5) Ask yourself, Why Cornelius? Maybe because he isn't a common person in society.
