Warmup:

  • IT article warmup. Be sure to be able to answer the following
    • Who are the stakeholders?
    • What are the advantages and disadvantages to the stakeholders?
    • What is the social/ethical issue at hand?
    • Which area of impact relates best to your article?

Agenda:

Thursday - Tuesday (10/8/09 - 10/13/09)

  • Watch "2 Million Minutes"
  • Answer the following questions in short answer/essay form:
    1. The fact that careers are all but selected for students in India and China also allows them to focus more in particular fields, providing them the opportunity to take classes in that field before they are even out of high school. This drastically contrasts with American high school students who usually do not even think about their careers until they are preparing to apply to colleges and may even change their intended careers halfway through college. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Why?
    2. I think the students chosen to represent Americans were a pretty good depiction of some of the top students we have here. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
    3. The purpose of viewing the video was to demonstrate a flat world - made flat by competing economies in China and India. And that happened because of the dot.com bubble which laid down the fiber optic cables connecting our country with theirs via the Internet. Now that you've finished viewing the video, what are some of your thoughts? Was it worthwhile to have viewed this video? Has it made you appreciate what you have? How can we say the world is flat and global all at the same time? Don't those images cancel each other out? Explain.
