Week 9

Lecture/Seminar Reflections.

During the lectures on Monday, we had a guest speaker. The main topic he spoke about was "Sustainability & Business in the 21st Century". We learnt about how business give back to the community in terms of social responsibility, and why they do it. We were showed a couple videos during the lecture; the first being a video entitled, "The World's Largest Lesson", where Malala spoke about creating a big project for everyone in the world to participate in. The video talked about how we only have one Earth, so we should actively work together to take care of the environment of Earth. If we continue on our current path, we would absolutely destroy the planet, leaving us with little to no sustainability as we polluted the air, the water, and destroyed our resources. The second video was an interview with a businessman, and he spoke about how every company's aim nowadays is to have Corporate Social Responsibility. Because if a business carelessly neglects the importance of their resources, they will be left with; resulting in them not making profits and going out of business. The lecture taught me to not just focus entirely on making money, and how greed alone will leave you with nothing. Taking care of the Earth will definitely benefit everyone on Earth in the long-run, and may open up new opportunities for businesses.

In the seminar, we were tasked to finish off any blog submissions we left out.

Group Work.

This week, my group met up and started filming our presentation. We had some problems at first with the "script" for out presentation, as a few of our teammates had not properly prepared things to say. After settling that, we did a test shoot of the presentation and found out that we had a timing issue as it did not even reach the minimum amount of time. After more adjustment, we filmed the video for real and we managed to get a satisfying time. We had a bit of a technical difficulty with the camera, but we managed to resolve the issue. We then had to wait for one of our group members to upload the video and send the link to us.
