Research Questions

 

Research Questions: 


1.  When is an acceptable age for independent technology to be introduced to developing children?

2.  How do think other lifestyles in varying countries differ from our own, and how does this affect people's mental health?

3.  How does experiencing other cultures impact our growth? 


Reflection:

I asked some of my friends and family these questions and they had many varying answers. For the first one my parents said that they gave my siblings and I phones when they thought it was important. They said we often got home before them when I was around 11 and therefore we needed a phone to be able to communicate. However, when I talked to my aunt she said she didn't want to get my cousin a phone, who is 7, until much later in his life. She is scared about the impacts of technology on their attention span. The second question I asked one of my friends who is an international student and she said that other countries in Europe have a much better work life balance. She said the owners of the businesses seem to care more about you as a person. The last question I asked some friends and they said that they think it encourages us to feel more empathy for other areas of the world and really it can help you learn new things about yourself that you otherwise would have been unable to discover.

Source Analysis #1: "A Pencil Shop, for Texting the Old Fashioned Way" by Molly Young, Published by The New York Times The author decided to take on this project to represent the metaphor of every writer having their own specialized style. This is represented through the pencil shop as each person who comes in has their own specialized pencil representing themselves as a writer. The genre is a narrative style article, as the author is telling a story about this shop that only sells pencils to convey a deeper meaning. This source fits into the larger conversation of my topic of inquiry through searching for the underlying meaning rather than taking it at face value. Although the author sounds as if they are just talking about a pencil shop, it is important to ask questions about why and what the writing devices they use represent. I think it did a good job getting across its message through different literary devices such as similes and metaphors. The author uses informal dia...

 What I Eat In a Day  By: Adriana Stoltman Pigs in a Blanket  My Friends and I made hot dogs rolled in croissants for dinner on Tuesday night! Hazan Coffee and Pastries I went with my friends in the morning to grab some coffee and a sweet treat. McDonalds Chicken Nuggets I had Chicken nuggets with honey for lunch. Crackers and Meat  Before dinner I had a platter of meat and crackers as a snack. Steak and Broccoli  I was able to make myself some very rare steak and and steamed broccoli for dinner on Wednesday.  Reflections On Selfies with a Social Conscience:  Doing this exercise helps people to understand my taste and preferences. The concept of inquiry is about asking questions and being curious about different topics. When looking at what I eat you can tell that I love eating meat and hanging out with my friends. I'm representing myself as a very social person with a picky taste. I feel like over the past couple days I have felt rushed with most of m...

Surveys/Polls/Quizzes

  "Fill Your Plate And We'll Tell You What Your Job Would Have Been In The Medieval Times" While taking this quiz I got a knight! I picked food such as potato wedges, edamame, chicken, corn on the cob, salmon, and a milkshake. I had some of my other friends take it and when they only chose the healthy options such as salads or not eating anything at all they got princess. I think this is quite a crazy way to categorize them through saying that you are more likely to be a princess if you eat less. My other friend picked the most unhealthy options like pop, chocolate cake, and fried food and they got leader! I guess this might correlate to being a wealthy leader and being able to afford a lot of unhealthy food. I also was able to look at some of the 62 comments. People were sharing their results, someone got jester and another person got a witch. Overall, I think there are only knight, leader, witch, and princess as options.  I think this quiz was fun to take and although i...
