We tend to think of fractals in computational terms, because in general we generate fractal images using digital computers. But you don’t need to. Fractals are actually fascinatingly ubiquitous, and you can produce them in lots of different ways – not just digitally.
"In this video, what they've done is set up three screens, in a triangular pattern, and set them to display the input from a camera.. If you watch, they're able to manipulate it to get Julia fractals, Sierpinski triangles, and several other really famous fractals. "
In honor of Pi Day, held March 14, we've developed a theme all about geometry! So get out your protractors, rulers and compasses (or just pull these tools up on your ActivBoard using your ActivSoftware)!
In this theme, you will find hundreds of lessons and resources covering topics such as similar triangles and indirect measurement, coordinate geometry, congruence, ratio and proportion, area, perpindicularity and much, much more.
global garment retailers
who want the incur the lowest cost--and offer the lowest price--to compete in developed markets but who do not want to be complicit in publicized worker
tragedies in developing markets
whether
Bangladesh has the means to enforce such laws
International Labor Organization
Inadequate government is a huge obstacle to change
only about one percent of Bangladesh garment factories have good standards.
garment factory owners are willing to allow workers to organize in unions or associations in order to have a
voice in health and safety conditions
"who pays" and "who is accountable"
Approximately 60 percent of the clothing made there goes to United States or the European Union
there are several problems
standards may depend on local law
buyers may simply cut off the suppliers rather than helping them improve their practices
global buyers simply leave the country when they conclude that conditions are so bad
question then becomes whether international buyers are willing to go beyond imposition of standards and supplier cut offs and to pay, in some form, for
the undetermined costs
actually implementing major substantive change
significant challenge in a weak state like Bangladesh.
Can a robust consumer movement arise among those shopping for discount clothing in response to the
Bangladesh building collapse?
What are the standards? What is the cost? Who is accountable?
drawn an analogy between the collapse of the Rana Plaza in the Bangladesh Capital of Dhaka and the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist factory
fire in New York which claimed 146 lives
Rana Plaza catastrophe represents a more complicated set of fractured global relationships, responsibilities and financial capabilities.
