Interwar Period Essay

The Interwar period was a period with a lot of ups and downs, it happened between World War I and the beginning of World War II. This period consisted in 6 to 7 countries: France, US, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, and China/Japan. These countries struggled a lot in economy, society, military, and government/politics.

Hitler in the US- it would not be so bad because people in the US liked him. But in my opinion he would do a lot of harmful things to them. You never know with evil people. He would want to gain a lot of power; he would want a perfect economy, society, etc. And, as you know there’s no perfect economy or society in the US. If there will be Jewish people in the US, he would kill them all because he is very racist. He would create camps for the poor people, to make them suffer or something awful like that. As you know, he wanted everything perfect, all royalty, no poor. Ok, maybe at first the people are going to like him, but when he starts with his cruelty, there's no way back, so the society will suffer, big time.

Franklyn Roosevelt in Italy- I think people are going to love this guy. First because of what I know about him, he brings everything up, or better. If he was in Italy and also did the Lend-Lease Act, Italy’s economy would have gone up, which is a positive thing for them. That is what this country needed. When he led the US out of the Great Depression, he was admired a lot. This action would have been so good for the Italians and other countries, obviously.

Stalin in UK- I believe that Stalin had qualities that would’ve been better for UK’s economy after the war. Fascism was maybe not exactly it, but almost. He needed to raise the people’s hopes and learn how to control their madness. I understand that the government needed to reduce the work, but not working at all was horrible. His Five Year Plans might have actually had a really good result in the United Kingdom, since people needed to recover from the Great Depression and industries were completely closing. People needed to feel safe economically, and that’s what Stalin might have provided.

The examples on top are examples of impacts that these men might have caused in other countries that needed their ideas in a way. But, countries were not only going through negative things during the interwar period. A good example of positive things was when Germany started the Nazi party. Maybe it wasn’t so positive for other countries like France because the Germans were not going to pay them anymore, since they decided to not follow the Treaty of Versailles. I think that Germany definitely increased their economy since it was all for them. Another country that ended up having a positive change was Japan. They were able to restore their old regime: Meji. With the old regime back, Japan was able to recover the money they lost during the war, and start from the beginning. Even the US, with Franklyn Roosevelt they made their economy much stronger and better. Franklyn established the Lend-Lease Act, which made that happen.

The interwar period, was a time in which a lot of countries suffered. Although most had a pretty good road after losing so much money. I think that the interwar period was a moment of recovery for countries that later on became very powerful in World War II.

PSA Video

In our computer project we did something very interesting, it was a PSA commercial, that made people think and learn. Fernanda and I, chose to do the PSA of Anorexia and Bulimia. Our video was very intense and amazing. I am 100% positive that someone is going to learn from our video. The process of making or video was very easy. First we did like a rough sketch of our video, we planned everything, what we were going to say and do. After we tapped our selves, and we acted everything out. After we uploaded our clips, and we edited them and we put music on it to make it look and sound better. At the end of our video, Fernanda says like an intense quote, that really touched me. In total, the making of the video was not hard, I had fun and enjoyed doing it. This is a type of project that I would love to do always.

What I would change is only putting 2 different songs not only one, if you see it, you are gonna see that there is the repetition of the same song. It made the video more intense, but still. Another thing I would change is the time of the project, I would seriously do it much better if there were more time, I would put more effects. The last think that I would change is the effects. My video did not look boring, but I would do something to make it happier. I would like to make it unique and more touchy. But in total, my project was great! I enjoyed doing it, I had a lot of fun and I made an excellent project. So why be angry, and sad, and disappointed?

Well, the video that I most loved was Debora's and Jade's video. Everything they said was amazing and true. The different kinds of effects they put were exotic and different and it looked very real. There video made me think a lot and learn. It was a very intense video with a lot of unique effects, that is the reason why I choose this video. Their video had something different that the others, it made you feel sad, angry, happy, all at the same time. That is why I choose this one. I loved this project and I really would love if we do more videos or commercial like these ones. There were amazing, all of them.

PSA

Ok, well PSA is very different than a daily commercial. PSA means advertisement in television or radio. For me , the main difference is that a PSA mostly teaches you something and a commercial doesn't. For example, a PSA could be of only a commercial of selling things, and a PSA is a commercial but of drugs, or alcohol, something similar. Another difference is that a PSA is mostly about safety, ways to prevent bad happenings, and a commercial is not about safety. They are similar because they both can be on TV, radio, etc. Another similarity is that they show something, or sell something but one to ware and the other one to use in your house. In conclusion, doing a PSA is much interesting than a regular commercial, you know why? Because you can provide stories and it is much more mysterious.

In my PSA project I would like to be with a lot of people, but I am only going to choose 3. The people that I would like to work with is Fernanda Corzo, Paola Fregoso, and Ximena Mendez. The reason why I choose these 3 people, is because we understand each other, and we work hard but fun at the same time. We are very creative and special in doing these stuff. I think, we would make an amazing project or video. It would be funny and it would definitely have a important fact or teaching in it. Another reason is because we live very close, well not Paola, but it's ok. I think we are going to make and amazing project in this quarter.

List:
-Alcohol
-Drugs
-Safety in Homes
-Driving Drunk
-Trusting the correct people
-Anorexia or Bulimia
-Low Self Steam

OK, honestly I love all of my ideas because they are interesting, and they provide a lot of learning and interesting facts. My 3 best ones though are Alcohol, Drugs and Trusting the correct people. The reason I choose these 3 is because they personally relate to me. Not that I do them, but my friends, etc. Another reason is because I know me in my partner are going to do an excellent job with these themes. We would make a very reasonable and interesting video that provides amazing examples.Trusting other people, is like trusting your friends and making sure they don't actually use you for what you have. I am experienced with this problem and I would love to make a PSA, in alcohol and drugs too. Well, I hope my teacher chooses the correct PSA for me. I am 100% sure that we are going to do an amazing job on it. I am so excited.

3 PARAGRAPGHS

I had a lot of favorite Super Bawl commercials, but I only can choose 3 of my favorite and explain why. My first favorite was the Volkswagen-2011-Dark Vader commercial, (http://www.superbowl-commercials.org/3561.html).
The reason for that is because it's quite funny and interesting. Like seriously, who would come up with a great idea like this one. This commercial made me think of my young age, which was a great memory. My other favorite commercial was the one called Brisk-2011-Eminem, (http://www.superbowl-commercials.org/3125.html). The reason why I love this commercial is because there's a famous person in it and it's very unique. There is not a lot of commercials where you make people look like cartoons. Another thing is that this commercial is very funny and weird at the same time, its says that he hates commercials but he is doing one. My last favorite commercial is called the Doritos commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpjaOUjUPUc
I liked it because its very funny and it surprised me. The reason why it surprised me is because the dog wanted the doritos so bad that he broke the door to get them. This shows that you have to fight for what you want. In conclusion, these 3 commercials are absolutely fantastic and well made. I hope I could do one like those some day.

I would definitely change the Volkswagen Dark Vader commercial. I am not saying I don't like this commercial, actually I like it a lot but it is the commercial that I would change a little to get better. First, I would change it to be more funny. For example, instead of the little kid just turning on the car, I would made it follow him or something similar to that. Another thing that I would change is the song of Dark Vader, I would another one, something more mysterious and loud. The last thing I would change are the faces of the mom in the video. I would make her look much more surprised and happier. I think, definitely that if the video would change a little like I said, it would look much better. It would look more funny and satisfying.

There was a tone of commercials I loved. The most satisfying one that I liked was Hope's commercial, the Monster commercial. The reason for that is because as you herd before, I love funny commercials, and this commercial was definitely funny. I understood the commercial very well, because there was a lot of commercial that I really did not understand. Another reason is because it had very good explanations to why you need to buy the drink Monster. For example, when Courtney can't make a "goal" in basket ball and she drinks Monster, and she makes like 10 of them. Yeah, the commercial would be much better if she put more explanation, but it was great. At the end, she made a quote that said: "Unleash the animal" or something like that. I loved that quote and I definitely loved the "RAWR" at the end. In conclusion, I loved Hope's commercial, it was great and very nice to see.

Commercials

There is a lot of commercials that I like and don't like. The ones that I really loved are the Dove and Apple commercial. They were very funny and they left me thinking after watching them. Another reason was because they make u feel better (dove). The ones that I did not like were the car one and the language one. They did not leave me thinking or something similar. I really did not understand them. Some powerful commercials are the ones that have music as the background that matches the moment. Another thing is that powerful commercials have to leave people thinking, have to have examples of a person or something, it would have funny moments, or it would illustrate an emotion. Honestly the one that stick out in my mind was the dove commercial true colors. I find it very interesting and satisfactory. It was amazing and very true too. I really loved the dove commercial, people should make more of them. These commercial is a great example of a satisfactory commercial, it leaves people thinking. It leaves a great message to women. It makes them feel very good. It has a really nice music background that goes with the moment, etc.

My commercial is going to be similar as the Dove one. The elements that I am going to use is funny, satisfactory, surprising, truthful, etc. There is a lot of challenges that I aspect like who am I gonna use? or how am I going to make it look surprising or that it leaves a message or people thinking. Another challenging is the effects or making it look like a real commercial, or making it look professional like the majority of them. My commercial is going to have music as the background, it is going to illustrate an emotion and it is definitely going to look professional and satisfactory. In conclusion, I am going to try to make my commercial the best one ever or making look professional.
