See, Think, Wonder of America

Hello!(: There are four of us doing a see think wonder in this group! Our names are Megan, Meagan, Emily, and Kaylee. We really enjoyed yours and discussed them in class and in small groups! We hope you enjoy ours too!

In America we see...
  • A lot of diversity
    • races, ethnicity, religion, language
      • Even fashion is very diverse
  • Big Cities
    • in some of the big cities we often see some poverty- such as homeless people, lack of food, etc.
    • Some big cities include Chicago, New York City, and Atlanta
  • Technology
    • From an early age, many of us got smart phones
    • There is a lot of tv's and other things such as Netflix
    • It can make someone antisocial because most people are very technology immersed
    • In school we have Ipads, laptops, computers, etc
    • Video games
    • Electricity/Running water almost always available
  • Pollution
    • We have so many cars and factories that there is a lot of pollution especially around big cities
  • Parts of America have more rural areas
  • Advertisements
    • Billboards, Commercials, etc
    • All the time
  • Waste
    • Americans tend to waste food and other things such as paper or other materials
      • we take more than we will use
  • A lot of sports
    • America's pastime is often referred to as watching sports.
    • All kinds
    • Different levels
  • Variety of food
    •  A lot of restaurants
    • Fast food
    • Unhealthy
We think...
  • We are too submerged in technology and it is actually becoming a problem. 
    • From a very early age, life becomes surrounded by our phones or tablets, or tv's 
  • That we should try to be more friendly, especially to tourists. 
  • Despite the fact that we have a lot of diversity, we still see racism, sexism, and prejudices. 
  • Opportunity to take our education very far, however it is expensive past high school and not everyone can afford college. 
  • Social media, has become a problem especially around bullying. It is called cyber bullying  and it causing a lot of problems.
  • We need to change the country as a whole.
We wonder...
  • Why other countries want to be like us?
  • When will discrimination end (racial ,sexism, etc)?
  • How have your views of America changed?
