World History 2

[izzygid @izzygidd]

@ADitsallhistory I agree. It’s dehumanizing and heartbreaking. I will never understand how someone can treat others so cruelly and poorly.

“Meanwhile in Mississippi, enslaved workers kept working. Soon, Douglas would work a third of them to death.” How could someone do this to another person? Actually, hundreds of people. #AuburnWorldHistory

“The University of Chicago refuses to acknowledge this part of its heritage.” That’s awful. #AuburnWorldHistory

It makes me so sad to think that some people were born, grew up, and died all on a slave plantation. So many people never knew life outside of slavery. They never got to leave or experience freedom. #AuburnWorldHistory

@littleeagle742 The way these people were treated is heartbreaking to watch. I was not expecting it to show just how horribly they lived though. I think the scenes are quite graphic but necessary in order to to show how brutal their lives were.

“After the government turned it into a life or death situation, it doesn’t matter who you are or what you are doing. Everyone knows that if you’re here, you’re willing to die.” That was a hard and sad sentence to hear. #AuburnWorldHistory

Some of the images shown are very hard to look at. They are sad, inhumane, and devastating. I hate that people are forced to live in that way. #AuburnWorldHistory

Ahmed, the first man interviewed, started working at only 8 years old…. #AuburnWorldHistory

@kylevachistory I agree. It is hard breaking stereotypes, but they did, and very confidently too.

I learned and read about a lot of new terms that I was not familiar with before reading this article. #AuburnWorldHistory

“Softspoken in person, Freedia has an onstage voice as deep and exhortatory as Chuck D’s.” I find it fascinating that performers can just change the way they sound to fit other people’s interests. #AuburnWorldHistory

This article was very descriptive, which I liked because it helped paint a picture in my head and get a better understanding of what Jonathan Dee was describing. #AuburnWorldHistory

[izzygid @izzygidd]

@AshtonC345 I had the same thought. The article says that ‘neoliberalism is a widely used term today,’ yet this is the first time I, personally, have heard it used.

[izzygid @izzygidd]

Why do you think the crises started in the 1970’s? David Harvey states that, “the whole system has been a series of crises ever since.” Why do you think that is? Any thoughts on how to lessen the number of future crises? #AuburnWorldHistory

[izzygid @izzygidd]

What do you think the term ‘think tanks’ means? Have you heard of this term before? #AuburnWorldHistory

[izzygid @izzygidd]

I have never heard of the term ‘neoliberalism’ before reading this article. #AuburnWorldHistory

[izzygid @izzygidd]

@AshtonC345 I liked that the film included this. This is such a scary and dangerous topic, I think it’s important to incorporate something to ease the intensity of the film.

[izzygid @izzygidd]

After watching this movie, I have to say that communication is one of, if not the most important part of war. Not being in contact with aircraft or the soldiers below is so dangerous. #AuburnWorldHistory

[izzygid @izzygidd]

“War is too important to be left to the generals.” What do you think about this quote? Agree or disagree?#AuburnWorldHistory

[izzygid @izzygidd]

The live footage is pretty cool in my opinion. It gives a glimpse into their reality, things we usually only learn and read about. #AuburnWorldHistory
