Analysis between 

Females usually think that there is more gender discrimination in the workplace than men do. The survey was split evenly between men and women, 68 women took our survey and 51 men took our survey. This played a huge role in the responses about gender inequality. The majority of the people who took our survey were college-age students between 18 and 25 or parents between the age of 46 and 55, this gives a wide range of ages and opinions. More than half of the responses to race were white/caucasian and the other large bits were Latinos and Asian, this as well gives a wide range of opinions within race and cultural beliefs. Almost everyone who took our survey voted or planned on voting but I do not think the few people who did not vote affected the results a lot. The majority of the voters affiliate with democrats which I believe affected the results a lot since they have different views and 24 were republicans, there were also a few people in smaller party affiliations. There was a large variety for education level but the majority have a bachelor's degree this shows that most of our voters were well educated and most likely had lots of context. 18 people believed that there is 100% inequality in workplaces, 56 people said that there is a lot of inequality, 38 people said there is some inequality, and 13 said there is no inequality. I think that gender took a huge role in this question and that the majority of the women agreed that there is gender inequality and most of the men did as well. I do not think that any woman disagreed with this question. The majority of people said that it is positive that women are rising and 7 people said it is negative. Not only do I think gender played a huge part in this but also the party affiliation. Most Democrats believe that it is positive for women to be rising. Almost everyone said that women should not have to pay more than men for comparable products but 4 people said that they should. Personally, I think that age, gender, race, education, and party affiliation fits into this and I think that it is very difficult to say that women should pay more than men. It is interesting how for these four responses three of them skipped multiple questions on the survey.

I think that the process of writing the survey questions was very productive and we were able to get a large variety of questions. The work was also given out throughout a few weeks which was very helpful and gave us time to think, and working in groups also was helpful to get more ideas and opinions. The way we gave out the survey was good and gave us quality responses. During covid, it was more difficult to give out the survey, but I think social media and parent workplaces were beneficial for getting more responses. I also think that because our school is very diverse and we all gave out the survey we got a very diverse group of people which gave us equal responses.

Prisoners Design What They Can't Buy- Luke

Luke Kirchner      I chose to read the article "Objects Made by Prisoners in the United States". This was a very interesting article, as it showed what it's like to be in an American prison and how they make some objects. When Prisoners are in prison, the severity of their punishments can vary, but the lack of creative freedom is often detrimental to each prisoner. This lack of freedom can sometimes drive their creativity to make their own objects, showing off individual expression. Some items like pens and toothbrushes were not given in the full form, due to the fear of prisoners turning them into weapons. Instead, the prisoners thought about how they could fix these problems. The article says "The items shown here, made by inmates in the U.S. prison system, illustrate the severity of restrictions imposed on prisoners as well as the human instinct to persevere through creativity and invention" (The Atlantic).      They took the ink cartridge for the pen an

Linguistics Blog

Gabriel Han IHSS Buzzwords The article I read was about buzzwords, and what they were and how they affected speech. A buzzword is a word with patterns, those patterns being that they have little definitional value, they have a unique emotional connotation, and they have a lifecycle of being adopted into use rapidly, are overused, and lose meaning. You often find buzzwords in ads, where they are used to draw attention. Buzzwords can also be used in conversation to bring the tone up. They flow naturally in sentences, so you can use one to draw attention and bring the tone up, and then easily continue the sentence. The way they are quickly adopted and lost allows them to resurface later, and this helps our vocabulary 'breathe'. The reason I chose this article was because the 'Z's just popped out to me. The way they are so angular and low profile, yet when there are two, it just pops out so much. It is like a buzzword, as they have little meaning, yet can draw attentio

Recovering Ecosystems

Tyler Holland Mr. Roddy IHSS 26 March 2020 Recovering Ecosystems A large challenge for stopping the increasing problems that we face with air pollution and other environmental problems, is that humans are natural control freaks. People try so hard to invent new ways to control the risks that our Earth faces instead of just trying to let nature do its work. Isabella and Charlie, a couple who owned farmland in England, came to the realization that nature solves its own problems, after they had a run in with a feared weed for many farmers. Once they discovered the 'cursed thistle' in their farms they feared the worst as it spread so quickly, but they had decided to let it happen because using pesticides and chemicals was not an option for them. After a while they started to see a flourishing environment in their acres that they had not seen there before, painted lady butterflies flew across the land and after a while caterpillars were crawling all over their 60 acres and ea
