masterpiece academy day 2 / period 3

First up, Angel presented on Real Life Cops v. Video Game Cops.



It was an interesting conversation about the word "cop" and the current reputation of law enforcement officers.  Most everyone thinks the police are unreasonably authoritative and often violent.  There is a lot of fear and anger around the topic.  Here is Angel's slide presentation:




Next, Jose gave a talk on the reasons that people can't seem to get along better. (Hmm, there was a theme in these first two presentations!)  He talked about some of the personal and cultural factors that lead to bias and not listening to each other.  Although it was challenging to find a mentor in this field (maybe in future Jose will become a mediator), Jose pointed us to leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Gandhi.  Here is his presentation:



Then Luis changed our thinking with his presentation on thrift stores and clothing.  He showed us how celebrities and everyday people update their looks with vintage clothes that are great values.




Not only did Luis walk the walk, he talked the talk-- he's already created his own online thrift store!  Check out his website HERE.
