Environmental Video Journal Choose two of the videos or transcripts that discuss any one of the environmental issues that we focused on in class. Based on your understanding of these issues, where do you stand over the issue? Explain what you learned about the issue that perhaps you had not considered before. What are your concerns about this environmental problem on your generation in particular? Is it a frightening concept or do you trust that it will be resolved in some way? How does blame towards previous generations play into this discussion? How do you see your generation impacting environmental changes and threats that may come up in the future that are similar to the issues we are discussing in class? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Black Lives Matter and Colin Kaepernick Journal In the CNN and Nike advertisement videos over Colin Kaepernick's protest, describe in your own words what is the controversy surrounding this former NFL football player. What are the sides to the controversy and why is this such a hot topic right now? If anything, what does the advertisement sell us? In the ad, Kaepernick refers to believers and non believers. How does this add to the advertisement and what message does it send? What athletes are included in the advertisement and who do they represent in society? Explain why that is a message of inclusiveness? Why do you think Nike chose Kaepernick to be a spokesman for their advertisement? Would you assume that they have taken a side? What was the response from those that do not believe in NFL players or other professional athletes protesting during the national anthem? Currently, in the last video we see several events that have intensified the Black Lives Matter movement. What are some of those events and how has it impacted national and international sports during our current time? What effects have these events had on Black Lives Matter as an international protest? Explain your answer in detail How is this ad geared toward the Millennial generation in particular?
