Will is Always Welcome

4/10/2018

There's an adage that goes, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." And, although the world in which we live is ever-changing, there are some things that are still the same. Gender inequality, unequal pay for women, global warming, racism, classism, poverty, homophobia...one of these issues will effect one of you in some way. Whether it's directly or indirectly, you are affected.

But you have a job to do. A challenge. Be the change that you want to see in the world. A student said recently, "I'm only one person. I can't change anything." But we now know today, that's simply not true. You can be a force by yourself. But when more people join you to make improvements to the world for the greater good, you become a movement.

I challenge you to take the first step. No. Matter. What.

Look at the video, then comment on the following: "What does this video show about the world in which we live?"

1. INCLUDE: First initial AND last name AND class period.

2. Respond in no more than 10 sentences and no less than five.

3. You MUST respond to at least TWO other posts from any student. Your replies cannot be identical comments on different posts and posting shallow comments such as "I agree" or "I disagree" will earn you a zero. Make sure your reply addresses the comment that you are responding to.

Be sure to--

Be clear about your position
Provide specific support for your argument
Use rhetorical devices and other grammar elements
Write EPIC Content-Engaging, Powerful, Informative, Creative

CAUTION!! Do NOT embarrass me, yourself, your class, the English department, the school or your parents with tasteless, meaningless comments. This is for a grade.

What I have taking from this video and how the world we live is viewed,I see how everyone is on there own .You come across many problems but you are categorize as one individual. Everyone is trying to make it in this world until they reach there stopping point. Nothing is not easy in the world we live in . You have to work to get where you want to be in life . There isn't a easy way out of life .

I agree to an extent, with your perspective of the video. Although everyone is in the same situation, people are 100% focused on their motives and needs. Life forces people to change their mindset, daily strife is the reason people are no longer pure, it is why humanity is selfish. Yet a lesson is to be learned from the younger girl, she is still positive and pure of heart and the door to the wall is revealed only after she smiles during the moment of hopelessness and waves a flag. In response, to the daughter, the mother changes her perspective of how she views the situation and discovers a way out of it. Thus, positive thinking is the true way of prevailing through life's obstacles.

I can see what you mean when you talked about the young girl and smiling. She kept hope and after waving the flag the mother did spot the light seeping through the shadows of the wall. Though I don't agree with you on the subject of humans being selfish because they are focused on their own things. We are all in this world together, we should be working together yes these are all true. But if I am poor with 3 pennies I have to rise before I can help you, I can't give you my three pennies, because at the end of the day I will be continuing the cycle by taking your place. We can only help one another by giving them strength to ride with us or riding ahead and coming back to give our earnings.

I have to agree with your overall idea . Hard work is what gets you to where you want to be. Yet, sometimes, hard work doesn't pay off and you're blocked from your goal and the only thing you can hold on to is hope. That's what will help you conquer the obstacles.

i agree with you because in this world its hard enough to believe that you won't be taken advantaged of and that your blessings are actually your blessings.Thers nothing easy about living in this world

D.Molo1st

4/14/2018 08:32:31 am

need to concur with your general thought . Diligent work is the thing that gets you to where you need to be. However, once in a while, diligent work doesn't pay off and you're obstructed from your objective and the main thing you can clutch is trust. That is the thing that will enable you to overcome the impediments. People work too hard to go through stuff like this.

You come across many problems but you are categorize as one individual.But we overcome problems by ourselves.Thats what i took from the video that i watched.

Z.Williams

4/12/2018 10:00:55 am

I received the same message from this video. Problems exist and so does danger, but fear, hopelessness, sadness, and anger are all emotions that are deprived from our own thoughts. In others words they do not exist as a challenge but as an excuse to feel comfortable dwelling in mediocrity and failure.The mother and daughter did indeed face the issue on their own; even though they received water from another traveler, it was up to the two of them to use it efficiently. The overall message is, if we do not learn to push themselves pass their limits, we will not grow stronger, but only look back at previous situations and regret not following through.

This video tell me a lot about the suffering of people in corrupt countries. Right now were having this border situation with President trump and seeing this commercial gave some sympathy towards the immigrants coming to america. I believe the problem in today's world is that we lack compassion and understanding. I also know that there have to be some hard decisions made about immigration, but we should help the countries and fight the sources of the mass immigration. I think that the united states need to team up with poor countries and help them create a better country instead of just pushing them away. I believe that instead of just making america great again, we first have to make the world great.

n.brown 1st

4/14/2018 02:44:39 am

i agree with your response because instead of telling lies and attempting to make america great again i would rather use the true worthy oppurtunities that we recieve in life. never taking that for granted

D. Tonche 1st pd

what does this video show about the world in which we live in ? since Trump is trying to build the wall he may never know what some families might go threw if he ship people over the wall they can die from starvation and not having water because in the video the mom and the kid was in the desert and they didn't have water until they saw some people with some water. This is why I say that Trump shouldn't build the wall because everyone deserve a place to stay they don't need to be ship over a wall because of what race they are. People are here to live where they are born at not to be shipped somewhere , where they can die at.

victor ajuobi 4th

4/13/2018 09:13:28 am

To add with your statement , i also believe that the video was trying to spread awareness about immigrants and their hardships. I think that there has to be a compromise in America where we can fix the problem, and help people instead of just turning them away.

Z.Williams

4/12/2018 09:46:16 am

The world is corrupted as long as we see it to be. A man who thinks negatively is one who can only see the spec of darkness when he surrounded by light. Though the world seems to be against the "immigrants", the mother and the daughter do not give in, but find a way to have an opportunity to show out. And even when the wall was set and the mother burst out in tears, the daughter demonstrated her optimism by simply waving up the American flag. Shortly after that moment of desperation, the door to get behind the wall was revealed. Thus, it is never too late to remain hopeful; thinking positively through the worst of situations will allow the smallest of blessings to open the best of opportunities.

J. Maple 1st

4/14/2018 08:10:15 am

I agree. Having faith that hardships will get better is the only way they will be better. Having a positive mindset can open up doors that you wouldn’t have access to otherwise.

B. Haynes 1st

4/14/2018 10:07:09 am

I agree. It’s always important to have faith by your side, even when it seems like faith isn’t on yours. Besides dedication and hard work, another important factor to getting over obstacles is seeing the bright side of the situation.

Hope Aleman 1st period

4/13/2018 02:17:57 am

The message I got from this commercial is that obstacles and circumstances shouldn't hinder your dreams. In the video, US construction teams can be seen building the wall. A Mexican woman and her daughter make the harrowing journey to the US border only to find that the wall has already been built. However, she finds a door in the wall and they enter. The video emphasizes the hazardous journey that comes with having a dream, as well as the racial conditions that many people have been subjected to.

W. Crawford III 1st

I agree obstacles shouldn’t hinder your dreams. Life is what you make it and if you keep pushing you are bound to break through.

T.Dawson 4th

4/14/2018 02:34:19 am

Obstacles should not stop a person from acheiving their goals. Yet, it's disappointing to know that humans are willing to put obstacles up for others. It shows a lack of compassion in this world.

K.Brown 1st period

4/14/2018 02:55:19 am

Every dream is sought with hazards and cost just like you said. Struggling is needed to overcome and to triumph. Though I hoesntly don't understand the point of building the wall when there was a door places there. I am confused on if they are trying to say that no matter if there is a wall that hard workers still found a way through. Or if they are trying to say they built the wall as some sort of garnish and provided a door to say welcome.

I. Florence 1st

4/14/2018 09:19:49 am

Even though I know the the mother and daughter are minorities the thought of their racial conditions did not enter my mind. I feel somewhat asinine thinking about it now. In the video you see a white man driving his truck without a care in a world, meanwhile, the mother and daughter were struggling. That contrast showed me how severe the differences between ethnic groups are.

Cvillanueva 1st

4/14/2018 10:31:54 am

I agree with this, nothing is possible. There’s always a loophole in every situation, you just got to find it

I. Chancellor and 1st/5th period

4/14/2018 11:34:09 am

With all honesty, I got that same message. The wall symbolizes a barrier, between life and death and between failure and success. The wall was there, to make them chose failure and death. But, she and her daughter had hope, so they continue to look for it, and as a result, they found it. Not only dreams and racial conditions, but also shows that things are going to try to stop you, from having success.

D. Hearne 1st

4/13/2018 07:30:34 am

This video displays the message that there are opportunities put out there for us, we just have to keep going no matte what tries to stop us. There is always a way to do something whether it be easy or difficult. When you set out to accomplish something big and you go through your struggles the end result is rarely anything but great because you put in the work to make it great.

D. Tonche 1st pd

4/14/2018 04:48:55 am

I coincide with your opinion, there is always going to be adversities on the path to success, you remember why you are this and overpass it

What this video is telling me is that America should be free to all. Nun Americans wants to come here and start a new beginning in life but ever since Donald Trump's has became president. Their plan to start a new beginning has been a failure. All because of the wall that block Mexican from coming here.

D. Hearne 1st

4/14/2018 08:18:53 am

While there isn't no physical wall yet, immigrants from Mexico still are having a hard time getting here. They might have even changed their minds since Trump got into office. He is making it difficult for them to live here.

K. Brown 1st period

4/13/2018 08:57:06 am

What I take from this video is that if you are dedicated and focused obstacles will and should not hinder and stop you. You should not be held back because if you make the journey and put in the love, strength and hard work you deserve some results. People will acknowledge your battle and your struggle and others will not, but it pivotal to your journey that you know how far you've come and the work you have put in. Also in the scene where the man gives water to her child I saw that people will help you alone your journey. There are people out there that generally understand your pain and give when they can.

victor ajuobi 4th

4/13/2018 09:15:37 am

I like that in your statement you can connect it with a positive outlook like going through obstacles, but i believe the video is about immigrants and the wall being built an dhow that will affect the immigrants trying to start a new life in america.

I agree. Not everyone will acknowledge the hardships you may have went through, but if you can take in account of how far you have come due to yourself, to me that’s a rewarding feeling. Obstacles should not hold you back from achieving your own version of success. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

W.Crawford III 1st

4/13/2018 10:43:20 am

This video shows how people are trying to escape a problem and run into a bigger obstacle. Also, it shows how stepping out of your comfort zone and helping someone in need may change their life. You see this with the water canteen and the doors built. The video let me know that throughout your journey people will help you and people understand what you are going through. I also got that showing a little help will change a life and to change the world you have to start with yourself.

The video shows how people can work so hard and go so far just to possibly have the door shut in their face . Although the first sign stopped them and broke their hearts they still went on . They didn't let it stop then from getti n what they wanted . The video also shows how people are very persistent when they want something . They could have turned around and gave up hope when they saw the wall but they didn't. What i really like about the video is how the daughter was the one that started it off but also how the mother supported her decision . This video is very powerful and I'm glad it was part of the super bowl commercials.

D. Hearne 1st

A person can treat everyone so greatly just to not receive the same love back. This person will break their back for anyone but no one would do the same for that person.That person’s time life would be fill with broken promises. Promises of love, money, and much more will be promised. However it will not be guaranteed. People should treat each other how they would like to be treated

This video shows how the world seems to be a cold place, but there is always hope. In this video, Americans are depicted as ruthless considering America is a super power. Yet, regardless of America being a super power, not all Americans are the same . The door at the end of the video is symbolic for compassion and humanity that still exists in this cold world. The mother is able to regain her hope and continue the journey with her daughter.

I. Chancellor 1st/5th period

4/14/2018 11:14:44 am

With all honesty, the video does show that the world can have a cold heart, but it seems that, it is also saying that, there is hope here, too. Not only is it ruthless and a super power, but also a place of hatred, if it does not like you. In like manner, there are good people, in this cruel world. Plus, it shows there is opportunity here, only if you look for it. Lastly, hope was gained, when the mother and daughter looked for it.

D. Tonche 1st pd

4/14/2018 04:41:26 am

The video demonstrates how the will of one can counteract the ability with many. I agree with the videos message because I have been contemplation how revolutions are often started by the stronghold of the few people on the bottom of the hierarchical system. Another historical example that I can think of is the novel "the Jungle" written by Upton Sinclair. One single man swayed the governments decision on regulating the production of food. Which in turn impacted millions of Americans lives by making their food healthy enough for consumption. To conjecture my narrative on this video, I agree with its main theme, that being that anyone can rebel against set values.

J. Maple 1st

4/14/2018 07:57:14 am

The video shows that the world we live in is cruel. It waits for no one and gives no sympathy, no matter how altruistic you or your goals may be. The world can crush your dreams with one seemingly impossible to beat obstacle. However, what makes this world we live in worth it are its inhabitants. One person can change the fates of many with one simple selfless action. Empathy and compassion, though not present in the world, can be present in its people, and change the lives of others for the better.

D.Molo 1st

4/14/2018 08:25:35 am

I concur with the following statement. Reason being is that the world is cruel and full of a lot of unusual outcomes. It was built upon on what we use it for today. We discriminate against one another because of skin tone and it’s all stupid. Rise above the hate.

I. Florence

4/14/2018 08:07:01 am

The video showed me that the world we live in is filled with obstacles and devastation, but with hope and determination, success is possible. When you give up at the first encounter of a struggle, you miss the opportunities and lessons that await you if you overcome that struggle. If the mother gave up when she first saw the wall, she would missed the door to America and missed the opportunities for and her daughter. In addition, she would not have learned a valuable lesson, to not give up. The journey to success is not easy, it is filled with hardships, but they are hardships you can overcome.

Cvillanueva 1st

D.Molo 1st

4/14/2018 08:19:22 am

This shows that people go through obstacles to get to why they call success or a better way of living. The will and pure grit the woman and child in the video had to go through was almost unbearable. They started out with a group of people and then ended with only themselves. This indicates that love it’s is strong and binds people together to do remarkable things. How people go through this same thing in the real world, but only it’s not as easy as opening a door. The very people doing it are the ones that’s making our nation better with their work ethic and straight will to succeed.

S. Moncivais 4th

4/14/2018 09:07:11 am

After watching this video I was able to understand the world. The world is a place where the opportunities to become someone successful are not around the corner, you have to find a way to get it. For example when the women is walking on the desert there is another man who has water for her daughter, she found a way to provide for her kid. The search for a Better future is not easy to find and many places closes the doors on your face. There is a opportunity to come to United States to have a better future but the door is close and she is not able to come. At the end the doors opened and there is a possibility to have something better for her and her kid. The world can be a challenging but some times there is someone who is willing to help.

C.villanueva 1st

4/14/2018 10:29:10 am

In the video the world seems cruel. They try to keep people out that want a better life for their kids. It shows that the world has no compassion for those who put their lives at risk trying to walk for days or even weeks to do better. But it also shows that there is some people out there that understand the struggle. Only those who truly know and care make a difference and because of them they make this world a little less awful.

I. Chancellor and 1st/5th period

4/14/2018 11:02:15 am

The video shows that the world is a cold place, with no heart, for people's positives aspirations. Also,it shows that, if you are not liked or appreciated, the world is going to make you, an outcast. But, it also shows that, the world does have a heart, even if the world tries to cover it up, it stills has a heart. Plus, it shows that, the world is fill of hope and opportunity, but you can only get it, if you look for it. Lastly, people, who are hopeful and determine, can change the world, when they knock down the barriers placed against them.

Z. James 1st

4/14/2018 11:29:10 am

At times the world can be cruel. People have a lack of love for others due to their identity. People have hatred for things they don’t understand or afraid of. Instead of correcting ourselves people play the victim. People can be very two-faced. Finally, people lie and steal to get where they want to be I’m life.

B. Moreno 6thpd

4/25/2018 10:03:55 am

I agree with you . People do those type of things because they probably think they are better than the other people. They play the victim like nothing is wrong, but really they should just put all hate aside and accept people for who they really are.

B. Haynes 1st

4/14/2018 11:02:23 am

Even in the face of obstacles, one should not let it hold them back. After the wall was built, the older woman was distraught, and the younger girl simply waved a tattered American flag to show her optimism. This video shows that the world does not wait for anyone, and instead one has to keep up with its steps. The older woman and the younger girl are determined and full of hope to find a better future for themselves, and this chance was granted when the doors to the wall appeared. The ending quote to the commercial is: “The will to succeed is always welcome here.” If one is dedicated in hope for success, there will always be a way for them to find it.

Z. James 1st

4/14/2018 11:25:19 am

Almost at the end of the video the mother and daughter open the border door, which is a symbol of hope. Just because one door is closed it does not mean that it’s locked. Basically, I’m saying to keep going no matter how bad the chances are. Don’t give in to society’s expectations. There will be times where the odds are against you. However, you only need yourself to get through many trials and tribulations.

The video shows how you can't survive on your own and that life is hard.That sometimes you have to go through the rough times to get to the easy great times.It's ok to ask for a little help cause life is hard and you can't do it on your own.Also the video shows how on the other side of the wall it is harder to survive there then on the outside of the wall.Well life gets tricky but you just have to keep on moving.

J.Solomon 1st

4/14/2018 11:51:50 am

The message I got from this commercial is that life is nothing more than what you make it. Your desire and hope for better things to come are the building blocks to success. Aspiration provokes hard work and happiness. Looking at my own life and comparing it to the commercial I realized that my lack of hope is responsible for my shortcomings. When things get tough you have to believe that they can get better.

D. Boyd 7th

4/19/2018 05:25:49 am

It seems that today we live in a world that is split by conflicts, conflicts of race, of religion, of class, and of many others. This video reflects both negative and positive sides of the world in which we live in. The video was a reference to Donald Trump’s idea to build wall in the border between Mexico and the United states, and touches on the topic of setting up borders. On building walls that prevent the success of those who seek it. The positive side of the world in which we live in that the video portrays, however, is that people have the choice to change, to see the common goal people share and not the place from which they come from.

I agree with you R.Garcia.People can choose to change and be a leader instead of a follower.

This video represents the whole population as a whole. Yes we might work towards a certain goal, but if we never push through we won’t know what’s on the other side or the outcome. Hard work and determination will get you places. If all you have big dreams to achieve but nothing is made to make a move towards that’s goal, then it’s nothing more than a desire. In order to have an impact in your life, you just make a move. Nothing in life is free, you either work hard or get left behind.

Many people go through long journeys.They find themselves at the end of the road.They get depressed or sad because they think there is no solution to their problem.All they have to do is look for the solution.

This video shows how positive and negative things are in the world. In the video, the wall obviously was referring to Donald Trump's plan to build a wall between Mexico and the U.S. that's the negative part of the video. The positive part is how was that they build a door to show that you should always have hope because somebody might have the same goal as you.

I agree with you , people provide and work for their families. It still doesn’t give the fact that they should be treated differently. Especially because their race . Everyone is not going to be made the same way. So we should just put that behind and put all negativity aside.

This video gives a message that people have it hard, and different than other people. Based on their race people shouldn’t judge them. We should act ourselves and be ourselves no matter what. When we see people going through a rough time, we should just help them the best way we can. Everyone doesn’t have it the same. Some people are judged the way of the appearances or other stuff.

The Video Shows A Message That People Have It Harder Than Others. You Shouldn’t Give Up On Things In Life. Also, You Shouldn’t Judge People By There Race Nor There Interest In There Sexuality. Everyone Does Not Have It The Same. We Are Still A Human Race And We Are All The Same.

I think they have the right to get mad because of what kayne said he was in the wrong to say slavery was a choice. The comments that was said by him were not true and was not relatable to the past slaves in the earlier years. But i do agree that the doors are doors of hope. The life lesson i did learn was that life isnt nothing more than you make it
