Interwar Period Essay.

The inter war period is known to be the period between the end of the First World War and the beginning of the Second World War in Europe. It started the day 11th of November 1918 and ended the 1st of September 1939 lasting 21 years. A lot of countries were affected big time. The countries were: Germany, France, Britain, the US, and China/Japan. The each got affected in similar ways. For example German was the one who suffered the most since they got blamed for all that happened. All the countries blamed them for having their economy go down and have them suffer. Although Germany was a very powerful group they ended up with a huge fail. In France the death rate increased rapidly same as for a lot of people were losing their jobs. In the UK there were a lot a lot of people that lost their jobs.
Europe was already struggling to recover from the devastation of the First World War. In North America the first half of the inter war period is known to be one of a considerable prosperity, but this changed dramatically with the onset of the Great Depression in 1929. In Asia, Japan became an even more assertive power, especially with regards to China. This period was marked by a significant change in the international order, away from the balance of power that had dominated pre-World War I Europe. One main institution that was meant to bring stability was the League of Nations. It was created at the end of the First World War with the intention of maintaining world security and peace and encouraging economic growth between member countries. This institution was hit by a number of issues that undermined because its primary aims still remain important in today's society however it was badly administered.
The new League of Nations found itself increasingly discredited through a series of crises the invasion of Manchuria by Japan was seen as the first step towards the Second World War. Another one was when Italy attacked Abyssinia in 1935. Abyssinia was defeated by Italy. From all that happened there the league showed its weakness. It showed that even though authority was command upon Italy they weren't able to take them further than they could have. This is because neither France nor Britain wanted to keep apart Italy and lose her has their ally, the actual actions of Britain and France, pushed Mussolini and Italy further towards Hitler. From this chaos Italy felt great annoyance towards the League; it withdrew in 1937 and now looked to Germany as an ally. This incident showed Hitler how weak the League was and encouraged him to take his first action in breaking the terms of the Treaty of Versailles.
The inter war period was a great change for a lot of people and having them get ready for the next big thing. Some came out being winners and victorious. Other were obviously mad and had hate towards other countries. Others were obviously careless. But all of these were the reason why World War II broke out and until this day people study about it because it was huge part of life.

Reflecting Prezi

The last few classes we were working on Prezi. We got introduced by it and learned the new techniques to make a great presentation. Personally I really enjoyed working with Prezi. It was lots of fun. Power Point was so easy and simple. It got your work done and made it all really easy flowing compared to Prezi. Prezi made it seem more alive because of all the movements it did. The whole part about using Prezi was very easy. Simple to understand and simple to use. What I dounf

PSA.

Having to do a PSA about marijuana was hard. It felt awkward having to film about that, since I've never done it and never actually thought about it. This project was a challenge for Courtney and I. The other commercials were way funner and I liked the finished product more. What I liked most about doing this project was learning. Everything we do involves learning, but in this project I acted like I was high, so I actually felt like I learned more things about the consequences. Having to act and it all out was difficult because we had no idea how we were gonna start the video, what we were going to show, we didn't know anything. We did it at the last minute because we never really came up the out idea until the end. I think that out video came out ok. Not as bad as others, but it could have been so much better.
Something that I would do different for the next time would be not leaving it for the last minute. We could have organized ourself better. At the end of the video you get confused because Courtney is dressed the same as the mother and the friend in the second half of the video. It was an honest mistake and hopefully y'all will understand it.
I believe that the best video in class was Debo & Jades. I loved how the video is. It is very cool, all the motion, like if it YOU the person that is seeing all this when you are drunk. It says the things that would effect you and your peers. The only main reason that I really like it because it draws my attention more then the other videos.

PSA.

PSA is a advertisment that is on television, radio, new papaer etc. You mark a product that interests the public by raising awareness of an issue, affecting public attitudes, and potentially stimulating action. One difference is that PSA is all about the the education and the awerness of an issue. It usually affects people in a big way. A normal commercial is about anything, and doesnt have a specific reason. The commercial can be about lady bugs and it doesnt have to have a big affect like a PSA does.
In the last project we had to do, making a comnercial, my partner was Courtney. People may think that me and Court can not work together at all but you guys are wrong. I really do belive that our commercial came out awesome and we did a really good job. We payed attention in what we were doing and we did it all on time. So i would like to work with her the most because she is one person that i am very confortable working with and someone i would enjoy doing another project with. If i had to pick at least two more people I would chose Fernanada Corzo or Debora. I have worked a lot with Fernanda in other project and we do make a good team. Although I have never worked with Debo in anything. I wouldnt mind working with her.
One important on is:
- No drinking and driving
- No smoking
- Drugs
- Anerexia
- Bulimia
- No litering
- Protect the animals(turtles)
They are all pretty obviouse.

All of these are really important in life and there most be lots more. But one that really grabs my attention would be the anerexic people. Ive read book and ive seen pictures and it really is a good message to people that are.
