Purposeful summary:- Goat81

Posted on September 19, 2024 by GOAT81

It might sound counterintuitive, the idea that a young woman who lost her life in the wake of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake became the face of a media ethics debate, rather than that of a cause. Her death, so bleak, so easily sensationalized, was documented in well-circulated images intended to garner global sympathy while also raising questions about the commercial exploitation of her suffering. Instead of doing a thing or helping, ground journalists got berated for trading on her image, making a moment of actual human misery into a spectacle for remote viewers.

If Fabienne’s cellphone images did raise awareness of Haiti’s catastrophic conditions, they also turned her life into nothing but a symbol of suffering. The focus on documenting her death, in the name of awareness, has encouraged questions about whether recording suffering can be justified if it leaves the same people it hopes to help feeling dehumanized. Fabienne’s story as narrated by people who witnessed rather than participated in is a keen reminder of the ethical complexity underlying balancing empathy with the need to enlighten.

Purposeful Summary—Burnbook

Posted on September 19, 2024 by Burnbook04

In 2010 Haiti experienced a catastrophic earthquake that whipped out most of their population. The earthquake not only caused mass distruction it cause coruptoion among the nation of haiti. Deperate families trying to hold on to what they had left after the earthquake resorted to looting. Most people might see this has a minor thing but in haiti it was so major that the life of a 15 year old child had to be taken behind a simple painting that couldve easily been replaced, a life not so much. On Janurary 19th Fabienne Cherisma was out looting when police shot and killed her. The bullet hit her in the head causing her to die and collaps on top of the paintings she had looted, blood filled the streets and she was left there alone like she meant nothing. Photographers would come in and take various shots of her deceased body for media. Leaving no room for grieving or even a little bit of diginity for the little girl that just lost her life. 

On January 26th the parents of Fabienne publish a post recalling the life of Fabienne and how she had a bright future, the things she enjoyed, and her aspiration to be a nurse one day. The message was short and wholesome a modest reminder that it wasnt just a random child but a daughter, sister, cousin, niece, friend and a victim to the aftermath of discrution. Fabienne’s death touched people world wide. Her death not by ruble or natural selection makes it stand out compared to the thousands of other deaths that happened in Haiti. The whole point of the photographers being was the take shot of the tragdys happening in haiti to bring awareness and potentially help Haiti get back on their feet through donations. But a lot of the photographers got hate for being there and doing “nothing”. What can they really do, Put themselves in harms way and add more numbers to the death count? Overall, the death of Fabienne and the other thousands of Haitian citizens that lost their lives is tragic and they should all be remembered in some kind of way.

Purposeful Summary – Mongoose449

Posted on September 18, 2024 by Mongoose449

It seems counterintuitive that in the tragedy of the Haitian Earthquake of 2010, reporters do not attempt to censor themselves and care more about their own success rather than respecting the tragedy that had befallen the inhabitants of Haiti. Over 100,000 people perished in Haiti, either due to the natural disaster or the chaos that followed it. Yet reporters choose shock value over grievance, they see the body of Fabienne Cherisma and do nothing yet take pictures. She was shot dead by police after being spotted, only to be photographed while the body was still warm. The argument can be made, an image of tragedy can instill a solace in people when viewed, similar to Kim Phúc during the Vietnam war. But to many, they see it as manipulation of a story, to push a narrative, to exploit the tragedy and then find the next. This mentality is questioned, as if once this story is done with, will the media continue to report on the reconstruction of Haiti? What morals do they hold to report again on this story, on Fabienne’s family and how they are suffering? There are plenty of stories about the Haitian Earthquake, many as tragic as Fabienne Cherisma, yet to reporters, there is only the big story. The golden goose, to be exploited and disposed of once the eggs run out.

Empty bottle of scotch-iloveme5

Posted on September 18, 2024 by iloveme5
  • Why is there no such thing as an empty bottle of scotch? If it’s empty there is no scotch. You have to be grammatically correct when referring to something as vague as “An empty bottle of scotch.” A response like “she hit me with an empty bottle of scotch” is wrong because there could still be some scotch inside. In a literal sense there will still be scotch inside the bottle. A response like “She hit me with a bottle of scotch she had emptied.” 
  • If you want to be persuasive you have to trust in being persuasive of your own views.

Notes 9/11-iloveme5

Posted on September 18, 2024 by iloveme5

Notes 9/11: 

  • Finding pheasant on a foxhunt. Hunters at a foxhunt first release a fox they’ve already captured, then track it down and bring it home. Research projects that follow that model waste your time.
  • Don’t go looking for something in a research paper that you know is there. Make a hypothesis as ridiculous as you can. Add your contribution, do not just add sources that agree with your hypothesis. 
  • Why is there no such thing as an empty bottle of scotch? Can’t be empty and be a bottle of scotch. Language precision is important and really sketchy.
  • Elevator riddle instructions
  • Ant hypothesis, studying ants and you noticed that they have no trouble finding their way back to the nest regardless of how far afield they wander. Sometimes you can’t do it with statistics and resort to analogies.
  • Hypothesis makes a claim of what you want to prove or disprove.

My hypothesis–Bagel&Coffee

Posted on September 17, 2024 by Bagel&Coffee

1.) Tasting things.

2.) Some people taste things others don’t.

3.) Some people taste things others don’t when in conversation.

4.) Telling someone to focus on something in the flavor will have them focus looking for it.

5.) Telling someone to focus on something in the flavor will have them look for it and sometimes find it, though sometimes misheard in a conversation.

6.) People will be primed to taste a flavor you mentioned, even if false, if you suggest it right before they taste it, when compared to people who are left to taste something without any suggestions of what they are about to experience beforehand.

My Hypothesis—Softball

Posted on September 17, 2024 by Softball1321

1.) Arguing over text.

2.) Arguing over text ruins relationships.

3.) Arguing over text is an inefficient and harmful way of communication.

4.) You are unable to understand the feelings of the person of whom you are arguing with.

5.) Texting is a common way of communication, but arguing over text with a friend, family member, or partner can be misleading. When someone argues over text, it is hard to understand the tone of how someone is texting.

6.) Verbally fighting with someone you care about is already stressful as it is. While arguing over text you are unable to read someone’s body language. Face to face confrontation should be applied more in today’s generation.
