SeeClickFix Blog#3

 

  • What are the different statuses on the posters, and what do each of them mean?            There is Open, Ackknowledged and Closed, which just tells how your SCF is doing, like if it is Open, it was just recently seen by the SCF people, acknowledged mening they see it and are trying to fix it, and closed meaning it has been resolved.
  • Describe what you did (or what you were supposed to do) to find out if the issue you submitted to SeeClickFix was fixed.                                                                                   You were supposed to sign in to your SCF account to see the status of your issue to see if it had changed, and if it was closed, meaning it had already been resolved.
  • What changes do you notice from the April 13th posters to the April 27th posters?       More Issues have been moved to acknowledged and some have even been moved to closed meaning it has been resolved.
  • Do you think there are any types of issues SeeClickFix is better at getting fixed than others?  Why do you think that?                                                                                           I think that they are better t resolving issues concerning trash dumping because on the charts the most closed was trsh dumping which only had a few in acknowlegded.
  • If an issue someone reported did not get fixed, what is something they might try next?                                                                                                                                                     They might report it a second time just to poke the people at SCF to keep trying or they may go straight to City Hall to confront The City council about their situation.
  • Do you think people who report issues to SeeClickFix are able to gain agency?  Explain your answer.                                                                                                                       Yes because they are choosing to fix their community in a way that most people dont do, but just brush off.  They are choosing to help better their surrounding enviorment not just for themselves, but for those around them in their community.

 

 

Edublog Assignment #9

Oppressed people are people who are oppressed for long periods of time, forced to do unhuman labor or activities against their will for the benefit of someone else. Systems of Oppression is an organized way of Oppressing People, like slavery, which was an organized way for people with power, to force people with little or no power, to do their work or bidding against their will. The levels of Oppression are levels or categories of Oppression that people face everyday, and how oppression is categorized on a scale. One way people experience different levels of oppression and systems of oppressions is The school to Prison Pipeline Program, which categorizes youth based on behavior analysis did by Law Enforcement in school, And a decision on who’s going to prison and who isn’t.

First off, Some ways Oppressed People experience the different levels of oppressions and levels of oppressions like those in the School to Prison Pipeline, is institutional, which categorizes students based on behavior analysis done by Law Enforcement to decide who goes to prison and who succeeds. In the school to Prison Pipeline document, It talks about how Law Enforcement analyze behavior analysis from Schools like suspensions or any type of disciplinary acts, and based on the info, they are categorized on who is likely to go to prison, and who will succeed, an early process of criminalization. The School to Prison Pipeline document is an article on The internet, created by Nicki Lisa Cole on April 25, 2017. One quote from this article is, “Once suspended or expelled, data shows that students are less likely to complete high school, more than twice as likely to be arrested while on forced leave from school, and more likely to be in contact with the juvenile justice system during the year that follows the leave.” This quote explains how some oppressed people experience the difference systems of oppressions and levels of oppressions,  because this type of oppression is Institutional, a level of oppression, which categorizes anything based on info., like the suspension/expulsion data in this document, and categorizes who is going to jail and who is going to succeed.

Lastly,  Some ways Oppressed People experience the different levels of oppressions and levels of oppressions, like The girls in The Acid Attacks, which was Interpersonal, who were being kept from receiving an education by terrorist in Afghanistan. In The Acid Attacks document, girls in Afghanistan were being tortured and punished unjusticevely for trying to receive an education, by Terrorists Groups who believe that woman are something they can control, and if they can receive an education, will revolt against their rule. The Acid Attacks document is an article online, and was created by Allie torgan on March 17, 2016. In this document one quote that supports my claim is, “It is heartbreaking to see the way these terrorists treat … women,” said Jan, 68. “In their eyes, a women is an object that they can control. They are scared that when these girls get an education, they will become aware of their rights as women and as a human being.”  This quote explains how Some Oppressed People experience the different levels of oppressions and levels of oppressions, because this type of oppression is interpersonal,  a level of oppression which is use to categorize a certain group of people, like the girls in Afghanistan in this document, who were being tortured and killed for trying to receive and education, by Terrorist Organizations in Afghanistan

Assignment #5

Spencer Tuivailala

An Identity, The Qualities of a person that define who they are. The Dominant Narative, a narative that people in a position of privalege tell about someone who is not. Counter Narative, A story or perspective that people who are marginalized tell about themselves. The reason why is because not all Dominant Naratives are true, and freedom of speech is the reason of counter Narative.

Adding on to that, A dominant Narative is a story said by people with privallege about someone who is not, and for me, lot of peopel will say things that are not true, which is why there is a counter narativeOne Picture I have is a picture with a fake dictionary definition of how to describe polynesian which said there good for rugby, eating and football / self employed work. People tend to think since the majority of polynesians are big, people think theyre just brute strenghth when in reality, they have minds of their own, and can be educated one way or the other. Another picture I have is a picture of a world map, but instead of country names, is replaced by what america supposedly ” thinks ” of that country. People think just because America is a big coorporate buisness country, we are heartless and do not care about everyone else.

Assignment #2 – My Avatar

Question 1:  Do you think the cartoon avatar of yourself truly shows what you look like?  Explain why, or why not.

To me, it seems like a somewhat close version to what I see in the mirror. The only real image that I can create is an actual image of me. Other than that, nothing else.

Question 2:  Which parts of the cartoon avatar show chosen identities? Which parts show assigned identities?  Explain your answers. 

The parts that show my chosen identity is probalbly my eyes, just because I couldnt find the exact color or shade.  Another example would be my hair because my hair in real life is not that slick and is mostly all over the place, sort of.
