Julie Laguna-CaturegliHow China and the US gets their water is very important to our future minds. I am going to start introducing the data, laws, and engineering it takes to get such a natural resource into homes everywhere. I will also go as so far to introduce the water crisis that took place in Bolivia and in Mexico. Student’s awareness of such a resource will prepare them to be active in their future education.
Julie Laguna-CaturegliVideo: Is Japan a dying country?
Based on this article the rural Japan is depleting and quickly. There are many factors for this reason: low birth rates, marriages not a priority, high life expectancy, and economic crisis to name a few. The one factor that caught my eye was that marriages are not a priority therefore, low birth rates. I am also referring to the video: Is Japan a dying country? At 3:08 minutes into the video, the viewer observes a young successful administrator, Akihito who marries outside of the human race. He decides to marry an Anime hologram, which he fell in love with. As a young boy, girls bullied Akihito and so he decided to marry a hologram. The Anime culture is certainly a strong presence in our own students, youth and adults of America. This situation leaves me with many questions in regards to tradition and culture of the Asian population. Do people have to be married in order to start a family? Why does this culture of Anime have such a strong hold on people? According to the video marriages were down by 580,000 one year.
Julie Laguna-Caturegli你好 Nǐ hǎo from Anaheim, CA,
My name is Julie, and I am so excited to be part of this seminar. I have longed to learn about China especially its history, art and economy. I am an elementary teacher and I have a dynamite fourth grade class in Santa Ana Unified. They are little sponges that have this beautiful yearning to learn all I have. I am ready to help them discover this part of the world as part of their social studies, science, literature, and art curriculum. I also chose this seminar at this time because I plan to travel to China one day and my son who is a freshman in high school is learning Mandarin. A final reason, for me joining you in this seminar is my own desire to learn more about Chinese culture and traditions, which stems from a special experience of many seeing the exhibition of the Terracotta Warriors in the Field Museum in Chicago, 2017.
