Interview about Mina’s dog
Q: Why did you name your dog Leo?
A: I didn’t name him that, he came like that from the shelter
Q: What made you pick him out of all the other dogs at the shelter
A: He was nice and fluffy and he was healthy. He was also being put down soon and so it was important for us to take him in
Q: What made you pick that shelter?
A: It was close by and had a variety of dogs in need of families
Q: What was it like moving with your dog from Korea to Shanghai?
A: The process was complicated and took a ton of paperwork and testing. The process was complicated and I’m leaving this year again, which I’m worried about.
From this interview, not only did I learn a lot more about Mina and her dog, I learned mroe about the process of traveling with a dog, as
In this activity, everybody had an image that was a zoomed in version of another image. Our goal was to organize the images in increasing zoom levels. Overall, I found this activity to be a perfect level of challenging. It was enjoying and fun, and it reminded me of a murder mystery. But an improvement I’d like to see was in following the rules. I noticed a lot of were directly showing images to eachother, as opposed to doing what the task said. I felt like this was dishonest.
This is ad 1. It uses the appeal to authority fallacy. It implies that because Donald Trump is endorsing the steak, it is worth buying. It wants customers to believe that the steak is “the best”, simply because it is associated with Donald Trump. “If a billionare like Trump endorses the product, it must be top-notch, right?”
This is ad 2. It uses the bandwagon fallacy. It implies that because many people have switched to using Oral-B toothpaste, everybody else should join the majority and switch as well. It assumes that popularity goes hand-in-hand with product quality and effectiveness.
This is ad 3. It uses the false cause fallacy. In ads for Old Spice, its shown that once Terry Crews uses their products, funny and exciting things happen to him. It presents a superficial correlation without providing any evidence that these improbable things will actually happen once you use Old Spice.
This is ad 4. It uses the appeal to authority fallacy. The ad uses Marilyn Monroe, an iconic figure to endorse their product, essentially hoping that people would buy the Shampoo because Marilyn Monroe said they should.
This is ad 5. It uses the hasty generalization fallacy. It shows a supposed quote from a professional dentist, but doesn’t show any research or evidence. Viewers are expected to trust this stranger who simply says that the results last, with no data or statistics to back it up.
The media was so critical of Kendall Jenner and Pepsi’s ad because they believed they were undermining the sheer scale of the Black Lives Matter issue. Online twitter accounts were enraged by the fact that Jenner, a young millionaire was casted to represent this issue as opposed to people who have truly attended protests, like Lesha Evans.
I was unable to find information on the Zappos campaign.
This is the image that AI generated after I gave it a description of me. I like this image as it represents my passions like music and also has an akita in the background, which is the same breed as my dog. I found this image to be very cute.

In a good place, people often want to see more of what makes them happy. Time is a thing that can feel both good and bad, depending on how we use it. When we make the effort, we can have many ways to connect with others. One way is to go out and meet new faces, while another is to spend time with those we already know. In the end, it’s about finding what we need and making the most of our time together.

Today in Learning Lab, Mina and I worked on a skit about bullying. The ideation process behind this helped me realize how common and well-represented of a topic bullying is in everyday media. Despite this being a skit, having harmful words said to me didn’t feel good, and I can’t imagine what victims of actual bullying are going through.
Emma: (loudly) Well, well, well, look who we have here. It’s Sarah, the forever-alone girl.
Sarah: (softly) Please, Emma, not today.
Emma: (tauntingly) What’s the matter, Sarah? Can’t handle a little teasing?
Sarah: (gaining confidence) It’s not just teasing, Emma. It’s constant harassment, and I’ve had enough.
Emma: (smirking) Oh, look, the quiet mouse finally speaks up. What are you going to do about it?
Emma: (getting in Sarah’s face) What’s the matter, Sarah? Cat got your tongue? Oh wait, you’re too pathetic to even have a cat.
Sarah: (voice trembling) Stop, Emma, you don’t know what you’re doing to me.
Emma: (sneering) Oh, I know exactly what I’m doing. I’m showing everyone here what a loser you are.
Sarah: (quietly) I may be alone, but I’d rather be by myself than be cruel like you, Emma.
Emma: (smirking) Oh, look at little Sarah trying to be brave. It’s almost cute how delusional you are.
Sarah: (standing up, voice gaining strength) I won’t let your words break me anymore. I deserve respect, just like anyone else.
The courtyard falls silent as students pause to watch the confrontation unfold.
Emma: (taken aback) Fine, have it your way. But don’t think you’ve won, Sarah. This isn’t over.
Sarah: (firmly) Maybe not, but I won’t back down. Kindness takes courage, Emma. Maybe one day you’ll have courage.
