Three Toed Sloth

The three toed sloth is one of the slowest animals in the world. They live in the trees hanging from branches and spend most of their time sleeping. A sloth can sleep for 15 to 20 hours at night is when they usually eat. A sloth in the trees can only move 3 m/min and on the ground they are slower they can only move 2 m/min. To move on the ground a sloth has to drag itself with its front claws just to get around because they are not strong enough to lift themselves.

Although sloths cannot move very fast they are really good swimmer which is surprising because they have very little body strength. They need to be good swimmers because when the fall off the tree sometimes they will land in deep water and need to know how to swim. Some sloths when they die still stay attached to the branch they died on until they branch falls off. They stay on the branch when they die because sometimes their muscles are very tight from their grip.

RIP A Remix Manifesto

              The author’s opinion in this documentary is that copyright companies limit our creativity. The companies want to take other peoples work and claim it as their own. Yet when we try to use others work to make it our own we are shot down and told we have stolen it and have to pay for the cost that the company makes. The author wants to prove that these companies should be eliminated and nobody should be able to claim others work. I think that everybody should be able to remix something from others work just enough to make it their own. People who create songs, movies or anything that copyright companies can own should get to choose who can access these productions.

           In this documentary bias are exposed two ways through hyperbole and an anecdote. The way this film demonstrates a hyperbole was one of the main ideas that was brought up in the film. It said “the past always tries to control the future” this is a hyperbole because the past cannot control anything anymore we only build on what happens in the future. This shows bias because the film is trying to express that if we don't copyright in the future we will still be controlled by it. The way this documentary shows an anecdote is when  Rio de Janeiro  was brought up. They displayed the way they had music for every person and how much they appreciated their lives with music. This example shows bias because the movie wants to show that not everybody has copyright or follows copyright rules so we should we? That copyright doesn’t have a say on everything so we could also have free music whenever and it should be a way to be happy.

              The argument that I have on everything to do with copyright is we should get to choose. I believe that not everybody can afford all the music that they want and should be able to access. Without copyright it would be a way of everybody being able to enjoy music without worrying about the cost. In the future I believe that we won’t have copyright everybody seems to agree with the fact that is controlling and very strict. Copyright companies probably have a lot of hate and will one day only exist for the people who really want it. We should have a say in everything and everyone’s voice should count not just the people who have more money than everyone else. I think everything included music, movies and TV should not be able to have copyright because what are they trying to protect. There are lots of ways to get free stuff and copyright can’t control this because almost everyone downloads and it one day will be pointless to buy your favourite movie when you can download it.
