Occupy Wall Street

The Occupy Wall Street movement is a protest movement against social and economic inequality, greed, corruption, and exceeded government's influence by corporation. It started from September 17, 2011, and its slogan is "We are the 99%", which complains the government to make advantages to only 1% of the wealthy people. Its goal of the protests is economic justice, specifically, a "transaction tax" on international financial speculation. Their ultimate goal is to provide influences to other nations internationally too, not only changing national conversation. It fits the definition of civil disobedience because the Occupy Wall Street movement refused to obey the certain laws or governmental demands and rose up to against the government's unfair treatment, There was another famous civil disobedience protest in America, leaded by Martin Luther King Jr. who peacefully protested the American government which treated the black people and white people unfairly. By this method, the mess media spotlighted Martin Luther King Jr. and he became famous hot issue maker at that time. Through his movement, many living conditions and treatment for the black people got much better than before.

This painting by Albert Bierstadt is called "Immigrants crossing the prairie". Albert Bierstadt is one of the most prominent romantic artists and this is one of his less famous pieces of art. This year would have been the 110th anniversary of his death. He painted the American west and was a German immigrant. His paintings are some what hard to find now because his studio burned down in an accident. The ones that still exist are true works of art.
Albert Bierstadt's style uses bright colors and everything seems to glow. This painting is no exception, it has a radiance to it that gives the sunset a realism. The natural form of the picture gives a better natural feel to the painting

Occupy Wall Street

The Occupy Wall Street is a protest by a group of people are trying to change a new tax that is trying to be passed that says the wealthy would gain more money than the poor. The goal of the this protest by these people is to make sure that this bill doesn't get passed. In my opinion, I think that it does go under the category of Civil Disobedience because they are going against something the government is trying to pass. The difference between the protest now and when Martin Luther King Jr. was alive was mainly the fact that laws of the United States were much different. King tried to change laws that he thought were unconstitutional and bias towards African Americans. I think that this bill shouldn't be passed because it is going to make it harder for people to pay for things that they can hardly afford now.

occupy

The protestors in Occupy wall street are a group of people who want to change some of america's financial, political, and social policies. the group has not presented any solutions to the "problems" in america, nor have the officially named the problems. roughly, they want to take away power from big business, and the 1% of rich people. i think it is civil disobedience, their protests are very different from Martin Luther King Jr.'s protests, they had one common goal, to make all people equal despite their skin color. the people on wallstreet arent going to make a difference without a common goal

Occupy Wall Street.

The Occupy Wall Street protest is literally a protest. It goes against that tax he government ha been trying to pass saying that the wealthy would gain more money than the poor, basically. The goals of this protest is to make sure that doesn't get passed. This led to many "internet memes", one known as the "We are the 1 Percent". Obviously, yes, this goes under the category of Civil Disobedience mainly because it's going against the government and everything they are trying to pursue. People are trying to get the point across that not everyone can afford things already, but then to impose something like this on the majority of the population is just wrong. One very good comparison to the Wall Street movement is the movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. He also tried going against the government in order for the rights of African Americans in the United States to be granted. The difference between then and now is that back then, when Luther Jr. was still alive, the laws governing the U.S. were different. Now everyone has equality, but not until that bill is shelved because, once again, people can't afford many things even now, but to impose something like this is inconceivable and will lead to nothing but the downfall of the economy because no one will be able to pay for anything.

Occupy Wall Street

Occupy Wall Street is a protest in New York City. They are mainly located in the financial district. These people are working for the 99% of people who they believe more financial quality. They want better jobs, more say in politics, and more equality when it comes to the distribution of income. Yes I believe some of the activities of Occupy Wall Street do fall under the category of Civil Disobedience but it is all for a good cause. That does not excuse them from the laws though. Recently, Occupy Wall Street protesters moved their protest to Union Square Park. They are looking to spread their ideas around the country. Also they were kicked out of their original grounds at Zuccotti Park.

Occupy Wall Street Movement

The Occupy wall street movement is a series of protest in the head of capitalist america, wall street. It is a movement that is fighting for economic equality. Yes the movement in wall street defines civil disobedience because people are rioting and protesting for equality just like the civil rights movement with martin Luther king Jr.

Occupy Wall Street

The Occupy Wall Street movement is a protest movement that started in Zuccotti Park in New York City on September 17, 2011. The Occupy Wall Street protesters are voicing their opinions about greed, economic inequality and corruption financially. I do believe the Occupy Wall Street movement fits the definition of Civil Disobedience because protesters are allowed the right to peacefully protest and they are voicing their concerns over the current situation in the economy. In New York City, protesters have voiced their opinions of them being the "99%" and are very persistent when it comes to protesting in parks. Although they may get kicked out of parks they always are determined to keep going and nothing detours them from their goal of being heard.

occupy wall street

The occupy wall street is a protest movement that began on September 17th, 2011 in New York City. they are against social and economic inequalities, greed, corruption, and the influence companies have on the government. Its goals are to stop the wall street into being above everybody else an stopping the thought that they have more power than everyone else. i believe this is an example of civil disobedience because the wall street is getting out of hand and the government is not doing anything about it. An example is in New York City they had a protest were they chanted we are the 99% and you are the 1%. this has called lots of controversy. The occupy wall street movement is too stop the greed from the rich

The Sierra

This painting was painted by Albert Bierstadt, and the name of it is called The Sierra. He was portraying the beautiful view of a river in the mid west. I think this painting is gorgeous. When I look at it, I see so many different beautiful things about it. It was painted in 1868. Albert was a German-American painter best known for his lavish, sweeping landscapes of the American West. In obtaining the subject matter for these works, Bierstadt joined several journeys of the Westward Expansion. Though not the first artist to record these sites, Bierstadt was the foremost painter of these scenes for the remainder of the 19th century.


This picture is very colorful. it uses cool colors and is very foggy. Every little thing catches my eye; whether it be the animals down below, or the waterfalls going into the river. This is very interesting and beautiful. There is a lot of green and trees. The water shows the reflection of the mountains and the waterfall. You really have to look closely to notice this. The texture seems very rough. The mountains are very bumpy and rough. Then it goes down to the water which is smooth. 


The rhythm of this painting is up and down and all over the place. But, when you first look at this painting, the focus is on the middle right away. I first looked up at the mountain then moved down to the small waterfall in the distance. Then, I moved down to the shiny lake. As I looked at the lake, i saw the reflection of the mountain in the body of water. The animals were seen because I was really focusing on ever part of this picture. 

American Painting

This painting is entitled The Oxbow, it takes place neat the Connecticut River near Northampton. This painting is split in two the left and right. The left seems to be dark mysterious and unexplored while the right seems peaceful safe and simple. This painting took place in 1836 it was around the time Lewis and Clark left for their expedition. What I think this painting symbolizes is the explored and unexplored side of the Connecticut river. The darkness looks like it is being pushed to the left side, or away from the bright or right side. I think the painter made it like this because it symbolizes It being discovered by Lewis and Clark.

Thomas Cole was born in Feb, 1 1801 and died Feb 11, 1848. He had a very short life. He was an English born American. He is regarded as the founder of the Hudson River School, which is an American art movement that took place in the mid-19th century. He is best known for his landscape and romantic paintings, His mos famous paintings where The Oxbow and The Titan's Goblet

This painting has some geometric features. The first one and more noticeable is the horizon. It is almost a straight line and it divides the sky from the ground. The second also noticeable geometry is the darkness creeping into the light. It divides the dark and unexplored side with the happy and explored side. This painting is called The Oxbow because of the shape the river has. Also if you look carefully you can actually see the painter.

Working in America

What I want to accomplish by doing these interviews is I want to understand the hardships and the amount of work people have to go through in order to receive the money they really need. With that, I'll be able to understand why our parents say "no" to us when we really need or want something. What I'll probably discover are the true qualities of the facilities they work at and for, how their relationships are with their co-workers, and how they deal with the amount of work they have to do. I'm only concerned with sharing this research with my family, since sometimes these kinds of things can end up as personal matters. I'm not really concerned with the presidential candidates, but if I were to ask them something, I'd ask them through what means would they want to fix the economy. Everyone knows that everyone will fix the economy, but they want to know how and through what resources.

Working in America

(a) what do you hope to accomplish with your questions?

- I want to ask the working people about their real life and economic condition because I really wonder whether what written in The Nickel and Dimed is true or not. In the book, the condition is much terrible than where we live. I thought such people were only existed in 17th century, when Industrialization just happened. The problem is such people are keeping increasing in modern days too.

(b) what do you think you might discover?

- I might find that the real life of the working people and their hardship in their life. From this, I can feel and experience their condition directly which can make me to be influenced deeply. This interview also can make us to realize that we are living in really good condition. We should appreciate our life which has no problem of house, cloth, and food.

(c) who will you share this research with?

- I will share this research with my family. My family has lived in comfortable condition. We almost never experienced economical hardship. Therefore this research will help my family to see reality of world and reflect our life again.

(d) do you think today's Presidential Candidates are adequately addressing the issues of working people? Please explain. You may mention them by name and the solutions they have addressed.

- My view point of the economy is that the working class is the "engine" that keeps this country progressing. I feel that the presidential candidates like, Ron Paul and Mitt Romney address the economical issues well but cannot put what they say into action.

Working in America Questions

(a) I hope to interview someone, and ask them questions that aren't too personal, but not too shy that i cant get any information from them. I hope to accomplish to see how people enjoy there jobs in this rough economy.

(b) I think i might discover that, some people are comfortable right now in there living accommodation's, and some people might want to expand or increase there revenue, and there work ability.

(c)I will share my research with Mr.Horner, and my classmates to see if the research i got, is similar to the research they got. I will also show my family, because i think they will be interested in my research.

(d) I personally think that Obama has been trying to work on the job problems in the U.S., but there is so many other accurateness happing, that he kind of just keeps pushing it off, not knowing that people's lives and home's are at stake. So personally i dont think he's not doing anything at all to help the problem, but i dont think he's doing enough.

questions

With The questions I am going to ask my mother and step-dad i believe I will understand the working area much more better. i Can also learn a little bit more on what they do doing the day and understand how working is important and the struggles it takes to be a working person. I might discover ways to prepare myself for the years to come and have experience by the time it does come. Hopefully i can learn a few things and be able to use ideas and thoughts for my use. I will share the research with my mom and step-dad. I also believe the presidents are addressing the issues of the working people because every person who is running is focusing mainly about the people who are struggling.

Working in America

By interviewing two American workers working daily jobs, I hope to gain an understanding about today's business world. I want to get a behind the scenes look of people's jobs. I think I will discover the reality of the working world. I will share my results with my English teacher, as well as my English class.

I believe Barack Obama is the best candidate in the presidential election. So far he has proved himself well so far in his first terms. I know he is continuing to create more jobs for people around the nations. Also he is addressing the issue of people being able to afford a college education with student loans which is something that I am behind him in.

Working in America

a) I hope to find out interesting little facts about people's lives during work that annoy them. I hope they tell me things like they don't think their Health Care Plan in unfair or even smaller issues like how many work days they get off.

b)I think I'll learn more insight to a day in the life of an American Worker. I might learn things that get overlooked like how many workers are getting fired because labor in other countries is cheaper.

c)I will share these results with my teacher, family members, and classmates.

d)I think some issues are definitely be looked at and trying to be addressed. One of these major issues is the Health Care Plan. This has been a main issue through out all the electives and i feel this concept might be a deciding issue and it could make or break an elective. Another issue which is being addressed are the handing out of jobs in other countries because of cheaper labor. This is putting many people out of jobs and should be addressed.

Working In america

A. I hope that I will get a better understanding for what it is like working in America during hard economic times through the first hand experience that i will obtain through these interviews.

B. I think that I may discover how lucky I am to have the privileges that I have because some people don't have it as good as I do.

C. To be respectful to the people I interview, I feel that it would not be ethical to tell more people than necessary because it is not information that should be made very public.

D. They address this issue very frequently because it is one of the biggest issues, I feel like none of them ignore it and no one stands out as the one who addresses it the most.

Interview Questions

With this interview I think that i will learn about the working class and the struggles a working man faces. I think i will discover how a typical day of a working person goes. I will share my research with my parents and other workers to see what their opinion of the interview is. I think the Presidential candidates are all trying their best to increase the employment rate.

Working in America

1. What I hope to accomplish with my interview questions with working people is to find out what their biggest concern is throughout their life at their current job. (ex, getting fired, pay cuts, less hours)

2. I believe I will discover that people do encounter many problems or fears of losing their job. Many people have that fear due to the economy and I believe I will hear about it during the interview process.

3. I will share my work with my parents to let them see how people respond in this process.

4. Unfortunately I believe the only good presidential candidate is Ron Paul who is in last at the moment. He has bright ideas to boost our economy and I believe he could bring us to the top if he had more support he would become a fantastic president.

Working People in America

A.) With these questions, I hope to find out more about the people of the working class and how they deal with their jobs during such economic chaos worldwide. I also hope to find out how people make it by with all the other expenses and cost of living.
B.) I think I will find out more about jobs and how people get by with expenses. I also think I'm going to see the difference in how much people work in order to be where they are or to get to where they want to be.
C.) I plan on sharing this research with the rest of my English class.
D.) I do not think that the candidates are addressing the economic problems correctly because of the fact that I noticed all of the Republic candidates are aiming to raise taxes on people who make over x amount of millions and lower the taxes for people under that amount. That raising of tax on those who make x amount of millions will increase the prices of whatever their company puts out and it comes right back to the people who do not make x amount. Furthermore, the Health Care plan has become a lot of talk as well. Health Care affects every working person and should be provided for all people but other hard working men and women should not have their taxes be paying for others who are not even trying to move forward and better their lives to provide for themselves and move from food stamps, section 8, etc.

Working in America

With my questions I hope to learn about the work environment, cleanliness, and comfort levels with employees and their boss. If they are comfortable with saying how much they make and how often. Also whether or not they ever have to work overtime and what the situation with their sick or vacations days is. Finally what the commute is like and what their favorite and least favorite part of the job is. I think I might discover how comfortable they are with their own job and how they feel about their salary and co-workers. I will most likely only share this research with my English teacher and maybe some of my family, unless of course the person I interview insists that their information remains confidential. If I had the chance to ask one of the presidential candidates one questions about what they are doing for working people I would ask him what he is doing to open up jobs that illegal immigrants may be taking.

This painting was painted by Albert Bierstadt, and the name of it is called The Sierra. this is a American romantic painting because the artist was trying to pin point the beautiful view that is being portrayed. This picture coming from the mid west of a nice romantic river for a nice couple who just met to go and have their first date there. He painted this because he knows the colors and the moon how the color hits the painting really makes it beautiful. I personally think it’s beautiful. Albert Bierstadt was an American German painter who was best known for his lavish, making sweeping landscapes, and making photos that people can really relate too. Growing up he was never really the type to play sports or do activities. He was always painting the scenery outside his house, or painting portraits of places he wish he was. When he had the shot go big he took it right away. This picture really catches someone’s eyes because it portrays so much color and beauty, and how the sun hits the surface of the water it truly is amazing. He has become my new favorite painter.

He uses a lot of different colors on all of the different parts of the picture like the tress and the water and the mountain are all different shades of totally different colors. I think that’s better because it really catches your eye, you’re not just focusing on one part of the picture, your eye is catching all of the colors in the while picture. The picture really shows the true color and beauty of the lake and the mountain. The way the yellow of the grass, mixes with the brown of the mountains really ties together. The brown from the mountain also reflects on the water, so the pond has a kind of brownish color on the surface of the water. The grass and the tress are a very dark green, so those stand out because all the other colors are kind of light yellow and light brown.

The way your eye looks is going from the bottom where the lake is, going upward towards the mountain. They way the mirror effect works is you can see the mountain in the river before actually looking at it. So it makes you look up ward. The tress and the grass both stand out because the tree is a dark green, and so is the grass, so they catch your eye right in the beginning.

His family is wealthy, which let Fredric become an artist at a very young age. At eightteen he became a pupil of Thomas Col. He was then associate of the National Academy of designs and he was the youngest to do so. He settled in New York and often went on long walks sketching.
This painting has a varity of colors and they compliment each other. The focus is in the sky where there are the beautiful colors. The water is very well painted it looks like if you go and touch it you would get wet and the boat very well drawn its a keyt to the painting it makes the painting look more realistic.

Artist Descriptions

This was a painting by the artist Albert Bierstadt. Albert Bierstadt was an German American painter who, in this painting was trying to express the beauty of the Sierra, which is the name of this painting. He painted many other great paintings such as Mt. Rainier.

I found this painting interesting because Bierstadt had used a lot of different colors, and the strokes of this painting was very interesting. Another thing that I found interesting was how you could see the strokes of the artists in the mountains, it looks very cool. Another cool part of this painting is how the hills in the background also looks like you could see the strokes that Bierstadt had done.

There are many great aspects in this painting, and I realize that this painting was probably changed slightly because of how bright the colors are in this painting. The colors are very bright and that is the main reason why is caught my attention. I also I could see the reflection of the mountains on the lake and how there are animals all around the lake. I can see many different colors like: yellow, green, blue, brown, and beige.
