Week 6 Day 1

Today Mr. Rick came to class and there were two LdLs today because no one took the score for the old one.

1. The admin checking the attendance of the class


And then Mr. Rick has to calm down a student who is angry


Luckily Mr. Rick came today and gave us the topic for today. Most topics in the classes are mixtures of small topics being put together, and there is a lot of them and Mr. Rick only teaches some of the important ones.

2. Was the British Racist? (No, not now)

Before there were no machines yet, people had to use man power to do everything they need for their industry like planting crops or mining metal ores. These British needed to have cheap labor to do this, because hiring skilled people would cost a lot. If they don't have it, the economy of the British would come to a halt. So people had slaves, people who worked without being paid.

Slaves were consists of "black" people (dark skin African). The British are strong in economy because they had these slaves and they work for the British people. The British people became arrogant as they were on the top of the world. The racism in here was they bought the African people into slaves. Then they also sent them in other places too, like America where they get their raw materials from.

Also, Women were second class citizens. They don't have full rights to do everything, like voting. They also have lesser education, and no women can go to college. That time, their job was only to get married, have babies and do the housework like cooking. There were less jobs for them too. The jobs that women can find are like working in the mines. They are less paid or even not paid, as the British needs the cheap labour.

But with the help of the machines and technology, there are lesser needs of man power because there are machines working for them already. They no longer need the slaves to work like that, and finally abolished slavery. Women were now becoming equal. So there are good things about machines and technology...

3. Because Mr. Rick didn't come last class and no one took the score for the last LdL, there needs to be two LdLs. This was a problem because most of the others have forgotten what they did for their PowerPoints last class. Here is the first lecturer, still doesn't want her picture to be taken.


And then there is Mr. Rick grading it (sort of... as usual)


Then there is the next person to do the LdL.


Next class are going to be the last people to do the LdL. There is no one in our group who will teach though. So we get a break. Then we need to continue to LdL 3.

4. We need to be able to manage our time to do the project so we can finish it quickly. The due date is Week 7 Day 1, so we need to do it fast.
