Presentation Thoughts Peter V.

At the beginning of last week, I was very excited to see everyone's presentations. For the most part, I thought all of the presentations were pretty good. I learned a lot of information on topics I did not know much about previously. Most of the presentations were on sad topics that people needed to know about. For example, there was one presentation on suicide and how it is one hundred percent preventable. In the slide show, it has a movie where a depressed little girl flips through cards saying how much she hated her life. Three days later the girl committed suicide. It was very sad to watch, but I think the class needed to see this video. If everyone saw this video I think people would be nicer to certain people and maybe in result, a few suicides could be prevented. In another presentation, Colin showed us how humans and animals can be used as test dummy's for experiments. In his show there was a video of a dog's head functioning with no body. When I saw this I was instantly mind blown! I could not believe it was possible, however when they tried the same experiment on humans, it did not work.
