Racism-Collage


My cause for my collage is racism.  Racism is prejudice, discrimination or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief.  There are people in some countries that are being treated very badly because of racism.  People have been killed because others have thought that people of a different race have no value or should not be treated equally to everyone else when we now know that everyone is equal.  We should also be treating people of different race just like we want to be treated.  I picked racism because it used to be very big back then but it still happens today in some countries or states.  I also picked it because racism has a lot of information on it, which gives me more of a variety of pictures to choose from.  I chose these pictures because they describe what racism is very well and that racism should stop everywhere in the world.  Another reason I chose this topic is because I have learned a lot about racism over my school years.  We as a developed country can have one of those messages from the government of Canada commercials.  In this commercial we can show an example of racism that is very bad to show people that it should not be happening and that it is terrible.  There are also campaigns out there that are fighting to stop racism. Canada could also make a law if they haven’t that people that show any signs of racism will be charged.  The people of Canada should know that racism is bad and that these campaigns should go to the US were there is probably more racism then Canada.

Questions to the video


1.)What are the implications of cool hunting for the development of new ideas, new music, new art forms etc.?

The implications of cool hunting are good because companies are getting to know what’s cool for people so they can make a new product and sell it for allot of money.  Companies get a head start over the other competing companies from cool hunting.

2.) Are marketers concerned with the well-being of the consumer?  Do they answer to the customers? If not, whom do they answer to? Is marketing to teens different from marketing to adults?

Yes marketers are answering to the customers because if they did not they would be an unsuccessful company.  You have to sell what the majority of the people want.  Yes sometimes it may be different but sometimes the adults may be into teen type stuff.

3.) Various social scientists devote their careers to helping us understand people who are different from us. For example, anthropologists study the structures and customs of a society or a community. Ethnographers are anthropologists who focus on looking at the impact of culture on people’s lives. Are there parallels between “cool hunters” and anthropologists? Between market researchers and ethnographers? Why might adults see teen society or culture as so different of closed that they need researchers to tell them what your life is really like?

Yes there are parallels between anthropologists and “cool hunters” because they are both studying humans and what they like to do.  Adults may have done things differently when they were teens which is why adults may see things differently.


4.)If you were training a “cool hunter” to come to your school, what would you train them to look for?

I would train them to look for what the students use like cell phones but I wouldn’t look for what to wear because we have uniforms.

Day 3: Architecture

I chose to take the picture this way because I went to Italy and in Rome I saw ancient architecture there, so I took a picture of my Catholic Church.  You can see the repetitive peaks at the top of the church.  This makes me feel religious.

Day 2: Eyes

This is a picture of my brother's eyes.  I chose to take the picture this way because my brother and I do a lot of fun things together. It reminds me that I like doing things with my brother like playing video games and playing road hockey. This picture makes me feel joyful because I made him laugh.

Day one: Faceless Self-Portrait

I took the picture this way because it shows my hockey jersey and helmet.  I chose to do that because hockey is my favourite sport. I also showed my number because that is my favorite number and it was  the number I wore last year. I play for the Flamborough Sabres. I took this picture by using a self timer. This picture makes me realize how much I enjoy playing hockey.
