Actually last week we had started reading the animal book. We learned a little bit about the Kolea bird and the reason why we see it only around Summer/Fall season is because of it's migration. These species came from the North, where Alaska is. Can you just imagine how many miles they had to fly from Alaska to reach Hawaii? Talk about having more fuel than an airplane. From Hawaii to California is over 5,000 miles and it even travels probably around or over 600 mph! I can't imagine how long and breath-taking the journey it took for these courageous and strong birds it took to migrate here.
But we also talked about Descartes. There's one saying that he is highly famous for, "I think, therefore I am." We read a little pamphlet to find out who he is and he used to be a normal brainwash low class guy. I learned from History 152 that pheasants were not educated in any way and could have been just like many of us, whom are influenced greatly by the media (propaganda). Many of those who weren't just another zero would stand up for what they believe in. I know there was a zealous man in Europe whom stood up for what he believed in and that was the freedom of rights. He would always get in trouble though and beaten up.
And lastly we watched the story of stuff. There was a lot of stuff going on there. Consumerism. I think her name might have been Annie Leonard but what she was saying is that there was this cycle and it wasn't working because we are lacking the resources, but we are getting more of the resources to produce things such as ipods, phone, cars, television, computers, and etc. Especially in America where we buy so many things and by one month we just toss them aside. Many of the things we buy have been paid for because it cost money to make and ship it. But that wasn't the point. The point is that we need to start recycling or else the earth will run out of resources!
