In a recent study, we have noticed that scientists and engineers around the world are developing new technology, yet rushing these projects aren’t necessarily helping us. We can’t ensure our code is safe, plus the fact that we are rushing this, makes this mission perilous. We are creating AI and a lot of other things to try and face Covid, but these things have the potential to KILL, like literally kill a human.

We are creating so many things and telling states and countries to enforce quarantine, yet is this always good? I think not. The article states that people are starting to have less trust and faith in science. This virus provided a cover for governments to expand power and emit fear among the citizens. Even with millions of people’s lives at stake, we are still doing it.

Also, the more technology, there will be more chaos, and AI’s might start thinking on their own. With the government doing their power expansion, citizens freedom might be slowly corroded away.

Alas, I will say this again: There are millions of people’s lives at stake, going overdrive on technology will only make things worse. I think that we should take this virus slowly and steadily, and slowly find a vaccine.

The spectrum of concepts roses can symbolize is vast and unique. A red rose symbolizes love, a black rose symbolizes death, and white roses symbolize marriage. Love and marriage are wonderful, while death is the horrific fate no one wants to confront. The short story A Rose For Emily by William Faulkner highlights the many major events in a lady’s life. In the story, the rose for Emily symbolizes love and death.

Throughout the entire story, the whereabouts of roses were never mentioned, yet the title is A Rose For Emily. This leaves the question for the readers to answer. First of all, red roses represent love in real life, so the story partially connects to reality. One of the interpretations of the meaning of this rose is love. During Emily’s life, she fell in love with a Northerner called Homer. Despite, her family’s novelty, she still decided to love a low-class poor man. This shows the amount of love bonding their connection. Additionally, the community also decided to make Emily’s life easier after her father died by allowing her to not pay taxes. The village chose to do this because they appreciated, loved, how her father performed many great deeds to benefit the village, and in return, they give his daughter a better life to help her fight through the tremendous loss. Her father’s death ties into the next meaning of the rose, which is death.

In reality, the meaning of a black rose is death and agony. Black roses are also used in video games to represent death. In the game Minecraft, black roses called wither roses cause the player to slowly die which is quite terrifying. In the story, death is shown when Emily’s father dies, and when Emily murders Homer. The death of Emily’s father caused agony for the rest of the village. The major twist of the story was when Emily murdered Homer, the man she loved. Her action was extremely strange, as very little people murder their loved ones. The most probable reasoning behind her action was to provide a better meaning of the rose. As previously stated, roses represent many unique concepts, and Homer has “given” Emily two roses. Love and Death. This strengthens the fact that roses have a large significance in this story, one of which is death.

Roses can represent a large variety of definitions ranging from love to death. Love was shown in the story when Emily and Homer fell in love. Additionally, the bond of love was broken when her father died. This ties into the next meaning of the rose, death. Death was shown when Emily’s father died and when she terrifyingly murdered her lover. The true meaning of a story might not even be highlighted during the story.

I guarantee that you have gotten defensive one or two times before. Have you ever tried to stop yourself from being defensive? In a ted talk, Jim Tamm had a great example of defensiveness with chickens.

A friend of his was going into how chickens can teach us about being defensive. In those chickens, there are green zone chickens and red zone chickens. Green zone ones can collaborate with each other. Red zone ones want to be the best. it will try to make other chickens produce fewer eggs by pecking them. He did this for one year. In the end, all the green zone chickens were all healthy, but what was left of the red zone ones were all featherless and didn’t produce many eggs. Half of them were murdered by the other chickens.

Red zone people can very easily get defensive. Green zone people can also go from green to red. When we get defensive, it can get the whole group to go from green to red. When we get defensive, you aren’t defending yourself, you are trying not to let some fears get to you. Some examples are your significance, your competence, and your likeability.

Some ways to not be defensive are to notice your behaviors when you get defensive. some behaviors are blaming someone else, wanting the last word, drop in IQ, or high charge of energy in your body. that could ring a bell in your head saying stop doing that. Then you could take action in what you are doing.

Many things can happen in life, form well to bad. After bad things happen, there is not much that you can help it. when in situations like that happen, you have to be mentally strong. Therefore, there are many secrets to being mentally strong. There are three things that you will have to know. First of all thinking positively. second, only think to your self, don’t compare to others. Here are some actions that you can do to think differently.

First thing’s first, thinking positively. You can always think about things like how you can get better at something or helping someone. However, don’t overthink your self. Such as I’m the best or nobody’s better than me. The reason for that is because when you do that you are lying to yourself. Then you will not be able to learn new things. So always think positively.

Next, don’t compare to others. When you compare to others, you start to magnifying your mistakes. Thinking to your self and doubting your self can make you feel like your the only one that’s having all the bad luck. Such as why I’m I the only person that has this, or why do they all have this but I don’t. When that happens you can always help others or learn from others, but you can’t do that if you are over there doubting your self.

In the end, always thinking positively and never compare to others can help you through your hardest times. Just remember to believe in your self and you well always got though hard times.

Many people try to rush and create tech to kill the coronavirus. It is not wrong for people wanting to kill the virus that has been hurting us as soon as possible, but if the technology is not perfect to help the fight, it could hurt the fight. I think perfection should not be rushed and should be slowly and carefully be observed.

While many specialists try to innovate the world back to the way it was, I believe that the deployed projects should be checked many times before it is installed. Sometimes these projects have only gave the people who supported it scams and they started to distrust in the science. I feel like we should still have faith in them because they are trying to do everything in their power to help everyone in need.

I think we should have the best technologists try to beat this tough and difficult challenge. There should also be people who don’t know how to help still assist because this is hard for everyone and people may feel helpless against this fight, but they should be allowed to help.

Can the specialists create what they said they would or will it not be unusable? The people who create many things should not say that the tech will be complete until they are fully done and it is tested and ready to go. I sense that the people will get their emotions hyped and then suddenly go south.

The owner who controls the project must be the smartest and a powerful person who will take on this fight that other people won’t. This should be lead by a great, smart person that helps others instead of demanding. Who controls the projects will come down to what happens because ownership is power.

I believe that there should be a great leader, smart project, and hyped people and hope in the end that it will work out like it was planned. This should be able to give the sick people what they need and the doctors and nurses what they require.

In the Ted Talk, the speaker first spoke a little bit about chickens. Green Zone chickens were collaborative chickens who could tolerate each other, and laid more eggs because they were able to in peace. Red Zone chickens, on the other hand, were non-collaborative and hated being together. Thus, the chickens pecked each other to the death. In the end, there were only two emaciated, bloody, and featherless chickens who could only lay a few eggs compared to the Green Zone chickens.

What this shows is that when people and animals are collaborative, or “Green Zone Chickens”, they are more productive and are more able to problem-solve. The Ted Talk was about how to stop yourself from being defensive, which can cause you to be in the “Red Zone”. When you are defensive, you can drop significantly in IQ, and get extremely angry, which will not allow you to work things out.

There are many ways to realize you have become defensive. This might include but is not restricted to: heavy breathing, a large jolt of energy, a faster heartbeat, anger, a drop in IQ, a want to have the last word, blaming your defensiveness on other people, and not wanting to talk. When you are becoming defensive, you should recognize your signs in order to stop the defensiveness.

Once you realize that you are becoming defensive, I think you should take a couple of deep breaths. This will help clear your head. You could also walk around, leave the room and go somewhere to be alone, or just keep your mouth shut and listen to what other people are saying. Then, join in and work out your problems.

Being defensive is a bad thing, but learning to control it can help you a lot. Once you are able to do that, then you will basically always be a Green Zone Chicken. You can solve problems, collaborate with your peers, and make smart decisions. If you can’t, then you may lash out and end up as bad as the Red Zone Chicken.

In conclusion, there are many things to stop you from being defensive. Once you have a good mindset, you can be much more productive and never go back to being a Red Zone Chicken again.

At the ted talk the person was saying about the mean chickens would lay the most eggs because the chicken would break the eggs of others so the mean one would have the most. But sometimes the “good” chickens would team up and kill the mean one. The chickens are like us when we see something really bad happening we want to run but if its mild like a heist we would want to help and five out the invaders. Same as chickens if their is only one bad chicken they can kill it but if the bad chickens team the “good” chickens could only watch.

Chickens are almost they same as us because we all have the sense to run if something gets too bad.

I watch this farming Youtube video and I saw that he had a mean chicken because one day when he walked to get eggs a few eggs were broken. He thought that it was one chicken doing it so he but the chicken he thought broke his eggs to a different coop kinda like isloation. Then when the main chicken coop still had broken eggs he did this a lot of times before he found out who did it and gave him to a friend as a joke.

In the article “If We’re Not Careful, Tech Could Hurt the Fight against COVID-19”, it talked about about how using tech to fight the coronavirus could actually do the opposite of good. There are a lot of good reasons but one that stands out to me the most is wether the item would do what its supposed to do. We’ve seen many movies about how robots take over the world or robots cause a ruckus and “dysfunction”. But this problem isn’t only about wether we should let technology handle Covid-19, but it also applies to the future too. Should we let robots do surgery, test our health, do our checkup, clean or teeth, on and on. You might think that robots could do things more quicker, efficiently, and accurately, but what about that slim chance that it makes a mistake. What if the mistake happens while somebody’s life is on the line. Should we trust the technology to do such an essential task that many have to practice hours, days, years to perfect.

First of all, we have something that robots don’t have; emotion. Emotion and our humanely thinking can do a lot in many different situations. One example is in war. If you want a group of humans to defeat a fleet of enemy soldiers. The only problem is that there’s a town right next to it, so if you defeat the troopers, the town will go down as well. A human would probably think twice before destroying thousands, but a robot who doesn’t care about human lives, will destroy thousands. Why? Because its main and only objective is to defeat the troopers. It won’t think about how much people died in the attack or the loss, it will only think about its mission and mission solely. Robots will sacrifice lives to complete its mission, while humans will do something, trying to minimize damage.

Second, what would the people that get substitute by the robots do? Many would go jobless and soon poverty will wash over America and other places that rely on robots. If a robot could do surgery or make things then what are humans for, what are jobs for. People will lose jobs and soon, there will be a great difference between the rich and the poor. Economy would go haywire, the stock market will probably crash and the whole financial world will be in despair.

Lastly, technology is much too defective. These days the internet and technology is not necessarily stable. There are many hackers out there willing to sabotage everything they come across of. At the least a minor company’s shipment of their product could stop, and the very most, a important person’s treatment or surgery could defect and instead kill. Technology has proved itself defective and harmful many times in history sometimes small, other times devastating.

Technology over all is a very useful tool that us humans have and it has many pros and cons. While the cons might look scarier than the pros, scientists and engineers today are constantly trying to improve technology. Technology might not be too reliable today, but in the future it might just be reliable. For now, we need to be weary about technology’s cons, but enjoy the pros that it carries as well.

Technology could hurt the fight against Coronavirus if we are not careful. There are four questions we should ask ourselves. Are you listening to experts and vulnerable communities? Can you join existing efforts? Can your technology do what you say it’s going to do? How does your technology shift power?

The first question, “Are you listening to experts and vulnerable communities,” is about understanding the social context, about knowing what is helpful or harmful. You have to find credible or reliable sources. The second question, “Can you join existing efforts?”, is about searching for a team that can answer all three of these questions. You also have to find a project that involves experts, community involvement, and with ethical frameworks in place.

The third question is “Can your technology do what you say it’s going to do?” This is about if your solution improves the real world, or if it only works in some environments. You have to complete and test your work in a certain amount of time, and you will also need the resources required to finish your project, or you won’t be able to finish it. The last question is “How does your technology shift power?” You have to consider who your projects shifts power to and from. You have to think about who will have access to your invention and if it helps vulnerable communities and those who are most in need.

The Red Zone and the Green Zone are two different ways that people behave. Chickens are one example of how Red and Green Zone’s are different. The Red zone and the Green zone are very different. 

The Red zone is a zone where it is very competitive and strong and non-peaceful. In the Ted talk the speaker  used chickens as an example. When he showed us a picture of the Red zone. Their feathers were all plucked off and beaks were chopped off. When they say chopped they actually mean it.

On the other hand the Green Zone is very different. In fact there are a lot more chickens in the Green zone than the red zone. So the green zone is more friendly and calm while red is not. Green zone has more feathers than the red zone. The farmers are really trying many ways to separate the chickens from harm.

People all around the world can relate to this and it isn’t really that good. Exceptional being on the Red Zone. When someone is somehow on the red side they might “Drag” someone from the green side to the red side which is never a good thing to experience. Just like when the rotten apple spreads to the fresh ones.
