Labor Social

On Saturday july 11th we did labor social with my classmates, we made 60 sandwiches with cheese and gave the guards of the complexes of samborondon with a glass of soda, this was done because we notice they work for us and we never take the time to think about them, they are working for our security and also for our good and the good of our children or relatives.

This idea came when I spoke to one security guard in Bosques De Castilla and told me that it was an ugly job because they have to deal every day 12 straight hours with people that treat them bad and stuff, also they don’t eat in theyre work places they have to eat when they get back home at night…

This is a great idea for helping others because you can chat with them, also we had a blast of fun, they weren´t so serious they were laughing and making jokes, and possing for the pictures we take, they are nice people with problems as we have too, they work 12 hours non stop and they don’t eat so we decide to take a time to spend with them, and talk about anything they want to talk about of.

this has teached us to treat them better, is a small star but something big has a little start we are going to do this every Saturday because it was fun I never though it can be fun labor social and also that makes you happy because you gave some of your time to them…

Cognitive Surplus

Write a personal reflection about the Cognitive Surplus video in your blog. Here are some guiding questions: What are your personal reflections about this video? Has it challenged you to think about your activities and how you spend your free time? Are you primarily a consumer or do you produce and share as much or more than you consume? Does it help you appreciate the social action you are doing for this class?
Here is a little quote to inspire you:"We have no right to consume happiness without producing it than we do to consume wealth without producing it." - George Bernard Shaw
My reflection is that we do nothing beside what all the world offers us,we never use our time appropiately, we preffer to waste it but no using that time to give something back to society... we never take a moment and think about all the info and things that the world offers us but we do nothing, we preffer to waste the time because it is easier to just receive but the difficult part is to use all that info to create or give oppinions about society.
the social action we are doing is gonna help and change the way we act in the world, we are going to use 24 hours helping and doing something good.. we change our receiver condition and change it into an individual that uses time to make this world a better world.
