Interwar countries

During the interwar period, many countries in Europe and some in America like Germany, France, Japan, USA, and China were affected by all the things that happened during that time. This period was between the end of the First World War and the beginning of the Second World War. They suffered economically matters, political, and the society but not everything broke down. The militarism during this period of time rise a lot, especially in the countries were fascism ruled. Germany was devastated after the First World War. They were forced (because of the Treaty of Versailles) to pay all the reparations and the damage they did in the war, especially to France and Britain. The Treaty of Versailles also forced Germany to reduced their military to a certain number. In 1922, Germany and other countries were affect by the great depression. In the Dawes Plan, German borders were sold to USA private investors. It worked a little bit but the great depression also arrived to the Americans. When the stock markets broke down, Germany also broke down. Countries became ruled by dictators like Germany, Italy, Russia, and Spain. Germany by Adolf Hitler, Italy by Benito Mussolini, Russia by Stalin, Spain by Franco and China by Mao. Like Adolf Hitler and others dictators, they became very powerful and the people loved them. For example, the Italians thought that Mussolini could make miracles to people. All the dictators that ruled in that time only made what they want. If another guy had an opinion or believe that was against what the dictator believe, he was killed. They control everything. China was the only one to have a dictator after the Second World War, Mao Zedong. There was a lot of unemployment during this period because of the Great Depression. I really think Adolf Hitler's tactics and ideas would work in other countries in Europe because he was a very intelligent man and he knew how to convince people. He speak in mass meetings with the people to express nationalism, pride and honor. Like the same way he took control of Germany with the Nazi party, he could also take other countries too. I also think that about Mussolini. After the First World War, Germans were angry of loosing the war and they needed to blame to someone. Adolf Hitler was anti-semite against the Jews and he convinced the people that because of the Jews, they were like that economically. I don’t think Francisco Franco would be successful as a dictator in other countries like Hitler or Mussolini. During his power in Spain, he didn’t enter to World War 2 in order to recover Spain from the terrible civil war. I think he was a better ruler.

Germany During the Interwar Period on Prezi

reflection about Prezi

Prezi is a great page on internet were you can do many cool presentations and other cool things. We used this program to make a presentation about our next 5 years of our life, like our goals and our accomplishments we want to do. I enjoyed working in prezi a lot. When I first saw a presentation/example of a prezi video, I fall in love with it. It feels like being inside it and like if your were watching a movie on a high definition TV. It also interacts you more. This program is better than powerpoint. In powerpoint, you only used slides and it isn't as entertaining like prezi. On prezi, you can do many things easier too. You can embed videos from youtube and you don't have to click a link to open the page, it automatically loads and plays.

I had worked with powerpoint since I have memory, so replacing it with prezi is a huge different. Prezi of course isn't a perfect program were you can do everything in a easy way, it has some imperfections. Prezi doesn't have variety of backgrounds and that really sucks. It had only like 5 different backgrounds. Another thing I didn't like was that you couldn't determine the exactly time you wanted a image to show. I would prefer to work with prezi because I like it and I think it would give a better image of my works I do on the future.

PSA Safe Sex

Write a blog post that reflects on the process you went through in creating your video, what you would like to change about your video, an embedded version of your video, and finally which video from the class you think is the best\

I had a lot of fun making the video for our computer project about safe sex. We did it in my house, were we used the backyard for doing the party, my room and the bathroom. We first wrote our ideas in Google docs, were we planed everything. Then on Friday like I already mention, we went to my house to do the video. We invite Ximena and Courtney to help us to do it better. In the party, we used two bottles of whisky and plastic cups in order to make it more realistic. We used the bathroom for me and Ximena to have our sexual activities. In my room, I described how I was feeling after having unprotected sex with Ximena.
In my opinion, our video was the best one but of course, it has always some imperfections and things that can be change in order to make it better. A change I wish I could make is in the part were we finish doing our sexual activities me and Ximena. It would be better if we show my pants unbuttoned after living the bathroom. I think that it would make it more funny and it would show what we pretended to do in the bathroom.
I saw all the videos from the class and it was very difficult to choose the best one. The one I think is the most funny, understandable, and that is the most orginized and cool of course, is Debora's and Jade's video. Their topic was about how alcohol affects others. They did it very well and I enjoyed it watching it. Their video was very special because they used other characters like Debo's dad and other friends. They also used a video from a real party that they went. The music fit perfectly to the entire video.
