Gen Z starts in the mid years of 1990s and ends around the early 2010s. A lot of people around the world are in Gen Z. This may relate to some adults (in school) “If you pee in your pants, dont worry we’ll delete this”-From a student. But this Gen Z if just a generation of a year and age group.

I agree with Kimber Lybbert  because she let me thinking why would different ages of group matter? Well it does since the way you act is very different and the way you act to a, different people is different. Say if you are a baby boomer .(1980 and 1994) If a teenager came up to you, then they would be nice and careful of their movements.

But if you are a Gen Z person talking to a Gen z person than………. well, it does, they would be very different than the way they talked to a baby boomer.

In just a few months, it has crossed lines,
Asia, Africa, everywhere declines.
“The virus has killed many,”
Says Mr. Doctor Remy.
Even though its supposed 2 b bad,
“We’re racing to the vaccine,” says Chad.
There might not be one Aircraft carrier,
But there can be a lotta little barriers.
Connor McRad and his colleagues are
working on a robot that needs 4 bars (of Wi-fi)

or act like scissors”, says Katie.
“I’ll cut through flesh
and make cuts that are fresh!”
Complex bacteria can fix it
by themselves. But viruses are smaller,
and they don’t have the wits.
Steve has sensors to sense everything around,
With the idea of a disinfectant, COVID 19 goin’ down!
Once the robots r factorized, they’re sent everywhere,
they’re sent inside planes, goin’ in the air.
Once they’re inside China, the problem is slowed.

This is the end of my poem,
and I’m not writing anymore.
Plz don’t tell me it’s 2 short “Ho-Hum”
or I’ll slam the door!

Kimberly Lybbert, a high school teacher and mother of six, claims that students will grow up to love themselves more if adults in their life are more supportive of what they do. She asked some of her students to write down their ideas about adults around them, and one written by a seventeen-year-old girl read, “an idea should not be invalidated by the age of its creator.” Although many parents believe they are doing what is right for the kids, it may actually be dragging them down. 

Commonly, grown-ups will scold children when they do something wrong, but they should actually ask them about what happened. The children already know that they have messed up, so parents should not lower their self-esteem by becoming angry. This will allow students to feel like they are supported, and because they know what they did was not good, they will try their best not to do it again. Asking about what happened will make their child feel better about themselves, making it much better in the long run if something were to happen. Although grown-ups think scolding their children or calling them lazy will motivate them to not do/do things in their future, there are much better alternatives to it. In addition, adults should learn to trust that their kids have ideas that are just as important as adult’s. One example Lybbert gives is about Abraham Lincoln. She says that Lincoln could have become an amazing farmer like his father raised him to be, but he decided to follow his dreams and learn about slaves and ended up becoming an amazing president and freedom fighter. Even though right now, teenagers may seem like lazy people, if they are given trust from older people, they can grow up to love themself more. 

For hundreds of humans did everything using their hands, from surgeries to producing things. Now humans have the robot, a very effective machine to help humans. They can handle UV light, which is a type of radiation harmful to humans and they are mistake free.
When combating the Covid-19, the United States doesn’t have enough physicians or doctors. Alone, the US has only 900 and need 1200 according to health officials. Luckily, there are robots here to help. A robot known as Stevie works in a hospital in Ireland. Stevie helps infected old people. Other robots use UV light to help kill the virus, but using UV light isn’t very safe for humans.
Everybody says it is okay to make mistakes. Like in a math worksheet, and that probably includes a surgery that might cost a persons life. Surgeons are already trained for two to three years to be mistake free. But, what if they, just do a simple error and that person dies. The what if is the most important thing in this outbreak. What if a surgeon accidentally does something wrong? it could cost a life. Robots can efficiency carry 10 of more tools at ounce. They are mistake free unless it gets a virus which is highly unlikely.
Therefore, I strongly think that robots are far more efficient when helping the infected people. They can use UV light and other things harmful to us and they are mistake free.

Corona virus has spread wide across the world and some people have made a robot that can kill it. This was really informative and told me a lot about Voilet. Voilet is a robot like Stevie which the scientist first worked with. It kills the virus with UV lights. But UV lights can causes mutations in your body. It can also cause sunburns and skin cancer.

So UV lights bad for you’re body. But even thought it can still kill the virus. UV light is from the sun and will give you vitamin D. Thought to much is bad. These scientist have been thinking of a way to make Stevie kill the virus since it began in Wuhan, China.

Stevie works in different ways than violet. These robots are really high tech and amazing. If I were those scientist i would find a way to shine UV light at the virus. But find a way to only use a little so it doesn’t harm the patient. That way they can get rid of the virus.

Jonathan Swift’s short story, “A Modest Proposal”, proposes for the Irish to eat their children. I think this solution to poverty and hunger is not a reasonable plan for three reasons: The population of Ireland will decrease drastically, it’s unconventional and weird, and there will be way too many health issues.

First of all, if people in Ireland suddenly started to just eat each other, the population of the country would really go down. They’re only going to eat their children, but since the children would’ve grown up to be adults themselves, the only adults eventually left in Ireland would be the currently existing ones. Then when they slowly die off due to old age, bad things will start to happen, like if another country really wanted to conquer Ireland for some arbitrary reason. No one would be in their way, except a few leftover babies who were recently born and a whole lot of satisfied grandmas and grandpas, sitting around the fireplace, congratulating themselves on coming up with such a great plan to rid themselves of poverty. So–boom! The grandmas and grandpas are booted out of the country and congratulations to the UK because now they have a lot more land with more room to build houses to have dainty little tea parties in or something–whatever people from the UK do.

Secondly, this method of getting rid of poor people is really weird and unconventional. Nobody eats children!! I mean, nobody even eats other adults! This is straight-up cannibalism, and–spoiler alert–we don’t do that here. As far as I know, not even animals eat their own kind (Ignore the Komodo dragons for now)! Do you ever see monkeys eating other monkeys? Birds eating other birds? Even wolves eating other wolves? No! So why should we? We are an advanced species, Jonathan Swift. We could freaking invent something that gives us good food before we decide to eat our own children! Also–another scenario: The people around Ireland might feel offended or disgusted by the savage Irish people’s behavior and start feeling like they need to step in and tone down the craziness a bit. OR, as I said earlier, they could just start doing it the violent way again, kick the senior citizens out, and start planning their tea parties.

Lastly, I feel like this isn’t very healthy for the Irish people. Just think about it: If a mother had a disease and she gave birth, then the child might have the illness too. Then if they sell the child because they really need two shillings, then the wealthy person who receives the child might catch the disease. And according to Elon Musks’s Ten Rules To Success, successful people have all attracted cool people at some point in their career, so the wealthy person might happen to have a bunch of friends over when they eat the child. Then the child’s illness gets to his friends and his friends pass it on to their family or friends and this repeats until probably the whole of Ireland is infected by this disease. If the mother had had an unknown disease or something, it’s pretty much going to be a long long long pandemic like the COVID-19 because you have stuff like potatoes that are being exported to other countries and since everyone in your Ireland is infected, these potatoes will then carry this sickness and then when some person eats the potato in, let’s say, America, and then the whole of America will also have this disease. Let’s just say, it’s not really the best situation to be in.

I am strongly against Jonathan Swift’s idea and I hope this never happens anywhere. Between under-population problems, being judged by other countries, and bad health issues, surely everyone would agree with me on this.

Robots are more talented than humans, which is why scientists created Violet, a robot who has the ability to separate the DNA from viruses and stopping them from reproducing by using UV light. In my opinion, this is a brilliant idea because humans cannot do the many things robots can do. Even though Violet can save our world from Coronavirus, the UV light may cause people to have skin cancer. Nevertheless, Michael Ryan states that “…speed overpowers perfection…” He means that when there is an outbreak, like COVID-19, it is better to make progress than doing nothing at all.

I think they may be able to succeed, but because UV light can harm humans, that may slow down the process of stoping the Coronavirus. To conclude, I think robots may be the “heroes” of this virus, but also they may be the “villain”.

People are creating new things everyday. People use these new things to solve new problems. That is what is happening with these coronavirus robots. They have gone through extensive trials, and are they going to work? I think these new robots are going to work.

First, these robots have gone through many design changes. The Violet robot is likely only the start, with many more to come. Each new design is always better than the last. You can be sure the new robots will be very effective.

Next, in those trials, the robots have shown impressive results. For example, an average person takes 45 minutes to over a hour to clean and disinfect a CT scanner room. About 15 to clean the room, and another 30-60 minute for everything to dry. The new Violet robot takes around 15 minutes. This shows that robots are definitely an improvement from just humans doing all the work.

Lastly, the researchers are finally getting their funding. The White House largely ignore all the researchers, but even they knew current measures weren’t enough. So they teamed up with major tech companies. They want to use supercomputers and robots to lower the spread. This means finally the creators are getting their funding. This means they can put out much more high-tech and efficient robots in shorter times.

In conclusion these new robots will likely work. This is because they have many trials and improvements always happening. They have shown they are very effective at their work. And they are getting funding from the White House, so they can work more efficiently. These robots will work, and will help many people.

In today’s world, kids are always being underestimated by adults. They don’t trust our capabilities, and expect us to not make any mistakes, and want us to act like adults, despite treating us like we cannot understand things without thorough explanation. But we are so much more than what they see, or expect to see.

The Ted Talk is about how kids feel about adults, and how the adults feel about the kids. If adults underestimate this generation, then our voices won’t be heard. If your parent underestimates you and doesn’t sign you up for an advanced math program or whatever else, then they are missing a chance to help us learn and grow. Our brains are just as strong as theirs’, but they need a few years to soak up even more info and get a bit bigger.

Grown-ups kind of expect things to be perfect. If you make a mistake, they will shout and scream, leaving you scared to tell them the next time. But secrets are never good, and keeping these things inside us won’t give us a chance to learn from our mistakes.

If we try to state our opinion, we are considered to be “talking back” when we are supposed to be good little people and do what our parents say. They underestimate our thoughts, and don’t think we’re capable of depth and the ability to do anything for the world, except the world is in the hands of this generation. In a few years, people who once felt young and spry will be retiring, replaced by us. They have to know that we can make a difference, and not shut us up when we are trying to speak up.

Adults don’t trust us kids with tasks that we are fully capable of, and even if they do they don’t think we will make mistakes. They can’t expect us to be as “perfect” as them when we are actually kids. In the end, they were just as young as us once, and made as many mistakes as us, but now that they are grown up they think that this generation are able to do whatever without messing up.

When they underestimate us, they forget that we are going to grow up and become adults just like them. Adults usually don’t underestimate other adults, so why underestimate adults in the making? If they take the time to try and understand us and help us, then they can create a better future by making us people of the future better people.

In the end, we’re all humans, and humans are so complex in each and every way possible. Other humans cannot underestimate us based on what they see on the outside, or even what they’ve scratched the surface of on the inside. Instead, they should trust us and give us the tools we need to survive. All of us are equal, so why look down on kids and teens as if they are not?

A global outbreak had come

And the scientists knew what had to be done

Inspired from a navigational bot

With an additional UV light.

Violet was created without a single dirty spot

She did the dangerous job

Of disinfecting all high-touch surfaces

Including each door knob

She did her cleaning four times faster

Handling it better

Than a human radiographer

The robot was the hero of the day

Allowing the scientists to put their discoveries into play
