What is Power?

Power. There are lots of different types of power. There is physical, mental, social power, and of course energy. Physical power is power in the form of strength or energy. It means you are physically capable of doing something that requires immense power. It is shown as strength, muscles, and really any thing that you do that is hard. You may need physical power for some things, and not for others, but physical power is somewhat important. Secondly, there is mental power, which is not the ability to move thing with your mind, but includes will power and other types of "power" which allows you to keep going and trying when all else fails. Mental power is very important for many reasons. Our mental power is the power that allows us to succeed in whatever we do. If we had not will or mental power, then we would give up to easily therefore ensuring low chances for success. Thirdly, there is social power, which is the type of power that rulers, and representatives. Those people have the power to change the way we behave, do things, etc. Social power is also found in leaders and people who begin to and/or change the world. Energy is the power that enables us and everything else to do what is does. A computer runs on electricity, a form of energy. A river runs on kinetic and potential energy. Wind has energy. The water has energy. Everything has energy, which is also a form of power. In the end, power is a lot of different things, but most importantly, it is human desire. Not only the feeling of human desire, but the actual thing. Humans want power. They always have, and always will. That is what power is, and what it will always be.

Globalization Cartoon Analysis

The main visual elements of this cartoon are the father, and her daughter, and what he is saying to her. This cartoon is about globalization and how it will impact the next generation. As you can see, the speech bubble indicates that the next generation will either be the real step towards a globalized community, or they will use globalization to their advantage in the wrong way. It also indicates that the next generation will adopt to globalization a lot easier than the older generation will. Along with that, globalization will impact in truth every little aspect of everything. I believe that the cartoonist supports the idea of globalization but dislikes the fact that it will have an impact on everything instead of just on politics, economy, etc. To make the cartoon more persuasive, the cartoonist could have changed the way the daughter acted or dressed to make it look like she is more globalized than her father.

Population Project Points

I learned some valuable things from population project. I learned:

  • How to organize notes and research
  • How to do a data analysis,
  • About rainwater harvesting and other things related to my topic.
These were all important. Of course the first two could be used in other projects and future things, while the last one is important because I should know about what is going on in our world, and the earth we live on.
