3) Why is converse's DNA music?-Sebastian

Converse's DNA is music because that is how they are advertised. Converse were designed by musicians and artists so they are the ones who mostly wear them. I have always stereotyped Converse as being an artsy shoe. I am an art major and I have at least six pairs of converse. They're simple yet stylish. Musicians were them because they're affordable and comfy.

The author explains how using computers to do certain things is highly inefficient. I agree with this because you can do so much through computers without the computer knowing who you really are. You can purchase a high priced item through the internet and supply all of your information when you have no clue whether or not the supplier is real.

Or when you have a computer or purchase problem and want to solve it, sometimes people want to solve it by talking to a person not a machine. But now, when you want to solve a problem you have to go through this huge tutorial and push a bunch of buttons that might just solve generic problems but not your own. The author thinks that emergency calls will now switch to a machine answering the phone and to me that's really scary because if its an emergency someone should be there to talk to you personally.

Karen's viewpoints towards public health and ethics shows that she values education. She also emphasizes the fact that what one is defines ethics not what one does. She explains them by one having fortitude, compassion, and justice. For example, you need to be trustworthy and courageous when working in the medical field because when performing surgery your patients need to trust you and when dealing with death you have to have the courage to tell your patients family. She also says that people in certain fields should have good communication skills to be able to inform who they're dealing with correctly. In her CV, education is at the top which means she highly values education. She also has areas of specialization in her CV which means that she thinks that people in the medical field for example should have some specialization in what they do and some experience.

In America, we usually write our CV with the oldest events being first leading up to new events. In Spain, they do it in reverse chronological order with their most recent events or jobs at the top and oldest events or jobs at the bottom. The Spain CV is very similar to the American CV. It includes Personal details, education, work experience, and other activities. They don't include references in their CV because the person seeing their CV doesn't need their references until after they set up an interview. In Greece, you have to include if you've done your military service or not. That must be very important to job suppliers. The rest of a Greece CV is very similar to the American CV. You can even have your CV in English if the job your seeking is an American job in Greece. However, speaking Greek would make you more successful in your job.
