Cartoon picture about global warming

There is a simple two cartoon picture on global warming. The first picture is of a person saying "Oh my god its 50 degrees in january! We're gonna die!!" The next picture is one month later with a lot of snow and the person now says "this sucks wheres that global warning stuff?" My interpertation of this cartoon is really what everyone is like all over the world. It seems everyone is worried about it, but none of it is going to happen anytime soon. I just think we are getting all worked up about nothing. This is not going to affect us in our lifetime. So we should just not worry so much about it and get everyone scared.

Whats a movie/book/song that changed your perspective on something. How?

Once again im going to go with the song "Imagine" by John Lennon. It makes you get a whole new perspective on the world and how we view it. It really makes you think of what a perfect world would be like if everyone got along and agreed on everything. What if everyone agreed on religion? Government? War? Countries? What if everyone got what they wanted and were happy with the world? It makes you think of what if everyone was the same, such as race? It makes you think of a whole new world, what the possibillities could be if everyone just agreed. Just think about it and wonder... what if?

Write about a book, movie, song, or something else that changed your world for good or bad.

The item I am choosing is the song "Imagine" made famously by John Lennon. If you have never heard this song before it is a very emotional, powerful, and thoughtful song. With in the lyrics he basically says imagine if there were no countries, religion, ethnicity, war, nothing to die for, and basically no bad in the world. What if we all no longer fought and agreed on everything in the world? If you just think deeply about it, it will give you the chills(or it did for me). It is kind of crazy to think in this way because its really true, what if it happened? What would everyones way of living be like? Would it be that perfect world everyone seeks for? What if? Its a very strong emotional song that I find very powerful.

In this comic there are two slides. On the first slide it says "How you see yourself," and it shows a picture of a young person with words around him such as complex human being, hopes, dreams, and aspirations. On the next slide it says "How most professors see you," with a picture of a brain on top of a stick with both of them labeled. The professor also is saying "so, hows research?" Understanding this comic you have to think from both perspectives. On the students side he has great hope and dreams for life with great success and a happy life. On the other hand the college professor only sees you for your smartness, or your brain. That is all they expect out of you is what comes out of your head, and what you can do with it.
