Daily log blog 3/28 Liam Cooke

Daily log blog 3/28/2017 - Liam Cooke

We started the class with Mr.Rivers showing us a picture like this. We then had five minutes to think to ourselves and take down notes on what were think this picture is portraying. When the five minutes were up we then had another five to talk with our groups and discuss what this picture is telling us. Then with the group time coming to an end, the class then turned to a class discussion lead by Mr.Rivers talking about what this picture really means. We came up to the conclusion that it showed the chain of command, with the highest figure at the top and with the chain it trickles down power throughout the levels each one being lower than the next. Seeing that we then turned to a short story by Bj Novak that was based on this theory of a hierarchy and chaos, the story described the how the principle of a middle school wanted to make school be more enjoyable, so he had a school meeting with everyone discussing how arithmetics is the reason school is so terrible. He then goes into how there will be no more math in middle school, and that no one can say a thing to anyone about what was discussed. It goes without saying that everyone spoke and the principle was fired, the head force him to retire, but he was happy about it. This goes along with the theory that was described in class saying that chaos will get justice and order will be re created.

This could relate to real life with the system that the united states has for the government, the president is the highest rank then it trickles down into lower and lower forms of authority.
