SafeMapp

En la clase de Política Y Ciudadanía comenzamos un proyecto en el que nosotros debíamos aportar ideas sobre una App para celular que nos parezca innovadora. Esta es la idea que se nos ocurrió:

SafeMapp

Dependiendo donde estés te va a marcar una ruta donde evites zonas que son peligrosas o que tienen mala reputación por la cantidad de delitos cometidos en esa zona. El trayecto por el que te envía va a ser el más seguro. La idea es que cada persona califique la zona en la que está, sumándose con la calificación de los demás se le da un puntaje que es marcado por un color. Si la zona es verde, es muy segura, amarilla, segura, naranja, poco segura, y roja, precaución. El mapa Indica comisarías cerca y tiene un botón de emergencia para enviar tu ubicación a la policía o a alguien en particular avisando que estás en peligro. Al igual que va a tener los números de emergencia para médicos, bomberos, etc.

Categoría:

Navegación GPS/Seguridad

Público:

Todas las personas que se muevan solas por la calle, ya sea en auto, transporte público publico o caminando.

Objetivo:

Generar un GPS más seguro y confiable. Que no te mande por lugares por los que uno no estaría seguro solo para llegar más rápido al destino

Diseño:

En la parte de arriba de la app hay un buscador donde pones el destino al que queres llegar. En la parte de abajo se encuentran tres botones, El de la izquierda es el botón de Emergencias, que llama a la policía o manda un sms a alguien en particular (elegido por el Usuario) para alertar que tienes una emergencia. El botón del medio funciona para activar o desactivar la opción de ZONA (Marcador de zonas por color). El botón a la derecha es para calificar la zona en la que te encuentras.      

Posible impacto si fuese desarrollada:

Brindaría más seguridad al salir a la calle, y tranquilidad al saber que estás más seguro.

Apps de Las que Tomamos ideas:

Usamos como referencia Google Maps, Waze y Alerta Motorola, que hoy en día son las dos apps de navegación por GPS más usadas y de emergencia. El problema que vimos en estas apps es que priorizan la rapidez del viaje por sobre la seguridad del pasajero, por lo que siempre eligen ruta más rápida no por la más segura.

How Young People See Aging

Introduction

This report will show what young people think about growing old and their plans for the future. The aim will be to aid them in such subject and analyze the way they look at older people.

Current Situation

I went to a school nearby and asked some questions to senior students that are about to graduate in regards to this topic. The questions were mostly directed to their way of seeing older people and what they want to do after they graduate.

Results

Most of them didn’t know what they are going to do, they were concerned about it. Others however had everything planned and already knew what their aim was. Nevertheless, they all showed fear at the idea of growing old and becoming adults. In regards to the way they see older people, they see them as people to look up to and as people that are always working to succeed or to reach their goal.

Recommendations

 I would like to give some recommendations that would help students on their fear of growing up.

• ·         They should have a talk with a professional about what they want to do when they grow up, as there are those that can help young people to choose the career that they could follow.
• ·         They should write about the person they look up to and analyze their biography.
• ·         The students should investigate the career they want to follow and see if it really fits their liking

With these tips they might find a way to no longer be afraid of becoming adults. 

Evolución en la Publicidad

En la clase de Biología estamos estudiando la evolución y según lo que aprendimos tuvimos que buscar una publicidad que hable sobre la evolución de alguna forma y criticarla si el uso del termino es errónea. Esta es una publicidad de Rexona, del 2015, presentando un nuevo desodorante Antibacterial que promete eliminar las bacterias que se encuentran en las axilas.  

En la publicidad se dice que este desodorante brinda una protección superior contra las bacterias en nuestras axilas, insinuando que estas bacterias se han vuelto cada vez más resistentes y son mas difíciles de eliminar. Esto es debido a la selección natural, donde una población (en este caso de Bacterias) es expuesta a algo que es dañino para ellos (Desodorante Común) pero al paso del tiempo algunos integrantes de esta población evolucionaron para ser más fuertes frente a esta amenaza. Algunas de las Bacterias que están en la axila evolucionaron, adaptándose al desodorante común y siendo mas resistentes. Aquellas bacterias que sobrevivieron tenían un alelo especifico que les permitió resistir al desodorante común. De esta manera el desodorante común ya no tiene el mismo efecto que una vez tuvo frente a esa población de bacterias. Entonces se necesita de un Desodorante más fuerte o que las elimine de otra forma que es el que se presenta en la publicidad. 

Proposal 2

The head teacher has decided to invest in up-to-date technology to help both teachers and children in the classroom.

Introduction

This proposal is aimed at the improvement of technology to aid both teachers and students alike. The proposal will go through things that need to be improved to solve this problem, giving possible solutions.

The problems that we have

The software from the computers that are given are ancient and need to be updated. This needs to improve, for it slows down our work severely. However, the computers we have may not work with that kind of software. Thus we'll need newer models. The internet connection is extremely poor making things even more difficult.

Things to improve

The use of technology should be more involved in every subject. The teachers should all have to take a course on technology and how to implement it in their classes.

Possible Solutions
This are some of the things I think you should do:

-Buy new laptops to replace those that are outdated

-Buy a new WiFi router so that its ratio is bigger and reaches everyone

Test 3

Hi Sam

Long time no see. How are you doing ? It's been a while since we last talked, we should arrange something later. In regards to your question, my neighborhood back in the day was way different from what it is now. I know that people change by time but not that they changed this much. You see, in the past all our neighbors would talk to each other and their relationships were more closer than how they are now. I believe that this was mainly due to the amount if robberies that happened throughout that changed everyone, distrust leaded to alienation and from one day to another we all began to fade from the others sight. I used to play in the street along the other kids in the block and now, as insecurity grew, I don't see any kid playing like we used to. Times have gone by and the bound that we once shared is no longer there, I think it changed for the worse. Anyway, we should talk more often. I've been having some trouble practicing for an exam I'm having next week, can you please help me out?  

Let's keep in touch.

Test 2

Is it better to shop in small local shops or big supermarkets ?

Goods available 

Prices 

Location 

When going to buy things for our house we often ask ourselves where do we go, to a supermarket or a small shop. Thought the question remains, which of the two is better ? Well, the answer will most definitely vary. The main reasons that people tend to state are the following: it depends on the Goods availabe, the prices and the location. We'll see which of the two is better in this aspects. 

Little shops tend to have a small variety of goods. However, some may argue that despite not having as many products they have the best products, quality over quantity. Supermarkets though, have both quantity and quality. In comparison, smaller shops you may find the product you were looking for but maybe not from the distributer you want. 

It comes to no surprise that Supermarkets have the upper hand in quantity against little shops, but that also brings a higher cost. They have to get back the money they spent paying to those distributors. As little shops don't have to worry about that as much as the big supermarkets do.

For many their opinion depends on where it is set. Small shops tend to be at every neighborhood, while supermarkets tend to be in a place in particular.  People tend to always find an easy route to what they need, that's why they tend to go more often to small shops that are nearby than going to supermarkets that take more time to get to, unless you are nearby.

So, which is better? It mainly depend on personal preference, but to me the one who's better must be smaller shops. I tend to go buy on them because they are nearby, the prices are accessible and ,as it is nearby, there's no need to buy a lot of things. 

Test 2 Review

Sherlock review 

Sherlock is a TV series written by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatis, based on the popular detective novels by Arthur Conan Doyle, brings the popular English detective Sherlock Holmes to present time. With the amazing portrayal of Benedict Cumberbatch the character is given life and a sense of humor that's barely seen  in other tv series or movies.

Sherlock Holmes, along with Dr. Watson, solve murder cases in the city of London. Each episode has a different case with its own unique mystery and solution. The way that the world is presented feels believable, as they don't have trouble with implementing the modern touch of the 21th century to stories that took place in the Victorian era. 

Though the show's main theme is detective drama it doesn't stop it from having fun with its plot and its character. It's cleverly Implemented into the story and it works perfectly. It doesn't feel forced or as a way to keep the audielnce entertained, it feels as if it was meant to be in such a way. Even though the show follows, what some may consider, dark subjects they placed the comedy in a way that doesn't feel out of place. 

Overall, the comedy in this show took me by surprise, as I expected a serious drama. And in many ways I feel that it's placement improved Sherlock drastically making it one of my favorites thus far. It's a outstanding series with great plot, astonishing acting and clever direction, I truly recommend watching it as it is an original idea that must praised in a time were these lack.
