Life Saving Measures

3 takeaways from the CPR, substance abuse, and/or Naloxone Presentations

A takeaway i took away from the CPR presentation was the good samaritan act. The act means that if you are doing CPR on a individual while you are waiting for emergency services to arrive, you are not responsible for the liability for negligence, as respect for trying to revive the individual. This is an act that is only effective in Canada, its not effective in the United States, so if a event like this that puts you in a situation like this in the United States, you will be responsible for the liability for the individual. I took away that in the United States, never put yourself in that situation, wait for emergency services. From the substance abuse situation with the VGH nurse, i took away a lot of things about alcohol. A thing i took away was that when i go to a party that involves alcohol, i should at least know 25% of the people at the party and at least one friend should be sober and a responsible person should be a designated driver. Another thing about alcohol was that if someone passes out while drinking make sure they are conscious and awake, and turn them on to their side so they don’t choke on their own puke. The last thing i learned from that presentation was about vaping and how their are substance in vapes like washer fluid, car exhaust, and other chemicals that we don’t even know what they are. The impact these topics have on my life because i had an uncle who had an addiction to alcohol, and it effected are family severely, with tragic events that happened. It’s very sensitive to my family when we see a family member going down that path as well. With CPR also, my uncle passed away last year and his friend who found him had to perform CPR on him because he found him in his house unconscious and unfortunately he passed away. The takeaways from these presentation impacted me seriously and i now have more knowledge and am aware of important things and acts that are needed.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency Reflection 

I can analyze my own beliefs and consider views that do not fit with them. I do this by with my beliefs of the good samaritan act, if i saw a dying person in the united states and i knew if i tired to save them i would be responsible if they didn’t survived. I wouldn’t try to revive them because i’m look out for myself and don’t want to be liable. With someone else though their beliefs may not fit with mine because if they saw a dying person in the states they would probably try to save them out of being a good person and don’t want to see one die, which i can consider their point of view and beliefs on that point. Those two beliefs are different and show that i have my own beliefs and i can consider those who don’t fit with mine.

Natural Selection Critical Thinking Self-Assessment

Thinking


I demonstrated that I can collect and analyze evidence when I collected data for our natural selection lab on how many black birds survived and how how how many red birds survived and we took that and created a chart and analyzed it to see based on which coloured environment they were in. We then took the data from each environment and found an average for each environment. I showed that I can collect data, analyze it and create something out of it

Spanish 11 Reflection

Our mark on our first Spanish 11 dialogue

Creative Thinking

In our first Spanish 11 script , I used the core competency creative thinking. I created this script with my group and we used all of our note packages and handouts, to help us and we used our minds to come up with the dialogue of the crops we came up with so many situation and things we could say and we created this all by the flow of it all and the criteria we had to meet to achieve a good grade. Creative thinking is a big part in making a script making process, you have to think outside the box’s and come up with creative and humour concepts, it is what makes the whole dialogue and brings it all together.

Communication

I’m this the creation of this script I used communication, in our group we had to communicate with each other our ideas and what we thought should be put into the script. We also also used communication in our presentation, we had to present this to the whole class and we had to communicate our scrip out loud as if we are having a conversation in front of them . Communication was a big part in this script making and presentation because without communication this whole dialogue wouldn’t meet the criteria and wouldn’t be complete and overall we would’ve achieved a good grade.

English First Peoples 11 Reflection

Artifact

This is my character infographic on the story “A Mountain Legend”

Curricular Competency

What did you learn about Indigenous themes, issues, or perspectives during this assignment and how did you grow in your reading, listening, or viewing skills? 

I learned about indigenous perspectives through the character infographic i created by looking at how the indigenous boy named Jason and the way he thinks, his characteristic traits and perspectives he has through the story “A mountain legend”, how he thinks he has to climb the mountain to be a warrior, since all his ancestors and people of his Cree community are warriors. Jason mindset was that he has to prove to everyone he’s a warrior even though he puts his life at risk while doing it. His perspective throughout this whole story was about how he can become a warrior and prove to all that he’s not a chicken. To add, i grew in my reading skills through this assignment by reading a short story “A Mountain Legend” and analyzing and identifying the different characteristics and traits Jason had, and created a character analysis from it. This taught me to gather every critical detail in a story because it’s all important and can help identify a character more in a story.

Core Competency

Creative Thinking

The core competency I have chosen for my artifact is creative thinking. I demonstrate this by being able to create a body of work over time. I did this by, when I created my character analysis I was given one week to do it, over that one week I gather ideas and information to create my character infographic and each day I would add to it because I thought of more ideas and traits that the character demonstrated in the story. So, at first I started off with some ideas in a character analysis chart, I then over the course of a few days, took those ideas and created my infographic into this creative, colourful, well thought out infographic made on the app canva. My character infographic on the character Jason the story “A Mountain Legend” has illustrated on how i can create a body of work over time, and reflects my creative thinking in English First Peoples 11.

Core Competency Self – Assessment

Should our criminal justice system be more punitive or rehabilitative? Why? 

I believe our criminal justice system should be more punitive, I believe this because I think offender should be punished for the crimes they commit, they have committed a crime against society, and they should have to be punished for their reckless behaviour. If our criminal justice system was more punitive than we be making society safer and locking away criminals who have put society at risk or have caused people pain. Though some people may think rehabilitation is better because it makes offender reflect on the crime they have committed and offers them to change their reckless behaviour. I firmly believe that being more punitive towards offender is more effective than rehabilitation.  

Critical Thinking

The core competency i have demonstrated in my law paragraph is critical thinking. With critical thinking i can analyze my own beliefs and consider views that do not fit with them. I demonstrate this b y in my paragraph i show my belief and opinion on why i believe our criminal justice system should be more punitive. I also, consider how others point of view may be that the criminal justice system should be more rehabilitative, though i don’t agree with that point of view, i can consider it and acknowledge peoples beliefs and opinions.  

Foundations of Mathematics Pre – Calculus 10 Core Competencies

My Artifact Is An 8.2 Extra Practice Sheet From My Trigonometry Unit, In 8.2 We Were Learning About Sine and Cosine


Communication

Communicating

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my trigonometry homework. I get extra practice sheets to go along with the lesson I learned that day. I communicate clearly on these extra practice sheets by showing my work and achieving the correct answer on the problem I had to solve. 

Thinking

Critical and Reflective Thinking

I used to think trigonometry was difficult at the start of the unit because I’ve never learned it before and now I know that it’s not as difficult as it looks because I learned how to do trigonometry and the different aspects of it and how to apply it to word problems, complex triangles and different types of triangles. I learned this through lessons taught my teacher and taking notes down so I can comprehend how to do trigonometry.

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this artifact. In this picture of my trigonometry extra practice sheet, I use my notes taken down in class and ally the notes taken and the knowledge I received and apply it to my extra practice sheets where I use all these resources to help me make decisions and judgment calls on how to solve these problems correctly.

My Artifact:

Japanese – Canadian Internment Paragraph

The Japanese Canadians are a danger to Canadians and need to be eliminated as a threat. The Japanese Canadians deserve and need to be sent away to Internment camps, removed from living amongst Canadians. I feel this way because there is fear by Canadian women that if the Japanese soldiers invade or attack Canada that they will be raped or killed by Japanese soldiers. Japanese soldiers are already killing and raping innocent women in Canada, we have witnessed the treatment of Canadian medical staff, where doctors were killed, and nurses were raped by the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers have no right to be able to do these terrible crimes to Canadian women, these women have not done anything to warrant such horrific crimes, absolutely nothing! Many other Canadian women and I have witnessed the raping and killing of the Canadian women. It is sickening to know this is happening every day, women are living in fear. With the possible invasion of Canada by the Japanese, are all Canadian females in danger? We live in this great country of Canada, we cannot live with this constant fear, afraid when someone knocks on a front door, how is it? Afraid to go outside for a walk, afraid of who is around the next street corner, terrified thoughts are always in my head thinking “Am I going to be raped or killed today?” All this fear of being in public in addition of the fear if they invade or attack Canada, is so frightening. With these crimes happening around us all, the gathering of all the male Japanese Canadian soldiers and sending them to the Internment camps, will help ease and take away the fear from all us women. Removal of these Japanese Canadian soldiers will eliminate the threat and danger they have placed on Canadian society and protect the lives of Canadian women. Furthermore, in addition to my feelings towards Japanese Canadians being put in Internment Camps, the Japanese Canadians could be “potential” spies for the Japanese. We have just seen the Japanese invade Pearl Harbour and conquer Hong Kong, they could be planning an invasion or attack on Canada next?! It is known that Japanese Canadian are living all along the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada. These Japanese Canadians could be helping Japan plan an attack or invasion now, as they walk our streets, live here amongst all of us Canadians. They could be strategizing an invasion and attack on our great country of Canada, it is possible. The Japanese Canadians are a ticking time bomb and need to be removed from Canadian society to protect us all and Canada. We sit here and now question the Japanese Canadians loyalty to Canada. Are Japanese Canadians, the men, and women, loyal to Canada, would they battle alongside us against the Japanese? I do not feel that loyalty, I feel they would turn their backs against our great country, despite working, raising families in Canada. These Japanese Canadians are dangerous and could destroy Canada with their invasion or attack. The soldiers need to be put in Internment camps to remove the fear of being invaded, attacked, and having Canadian society being destroyed. From my opinion and the points illustrated, the Japanese Canadians are a danger and threat to other Canadians and need to be sent away and put in Internment camps.
