We live in a world where we think we are so different from each other. Indeed, all of us have different backgrounds, feelings, and believes. However; we are all conscious of what is good or bad. If we talk about religion we all get to a common ground where faith is what moves our beliefs. What makes us unique? Are we mentally connected? Our existence is also intertwined to non human beings. We are constantly borrowing nutrients from the outside, and that way human species evolve. We are result of years of cell transformations that have led us to who we are actually. What if instead of human beings, we were birds. Nowadays, it seems that we are missing some of those details, and that is why we misunderstand the importance of what surround us. What is our purpose in life? When watching the video, we can also notice that we are all part of a bigger context. Our composition vanishes in an inner perspective as well as in an outer view. At some point we are irrelevant to rest of the universe.

The Power of 10
Most of us usually think that we are unique in some way and that we cannot be compared with anything in this world because we are special and different. However, after watching this video I have asked myself “Are we really important?” It is incredible and almost unbelievable to realize that we are not as unique as we think we are. This video makes us become aware of the thing that we underestimate sometimes and shows us that we are not more important than the things that surround us. We are all equal, and there is no difference between us and an “insignificant” ant. As the video zoomed out from the couple in the park, we saw only blackness and empty space in the universe. In the same way as the video zoomed in, we appreciated the same blackness and emptiness inside of us. Therefore, I had realized that we are all connected in one way or another. Every single thing that we may even think about has a connection with us. We are all connected no matter our race, age, gender, species, or living status.
Question and reaction about the video
How the video go so depper? Why they use the power of ten? Why they choose the universe to do the comparison? . It is amazing how the video show how they use the power of ten organize the video and show the relation and relationship between them.With a photo we can relate many things as the video do with using the power of ten to relate the two things. In the video we can see how they use the universe and the photo to show how they were created. It is incredible how can we relate two things that may look different because we don't seat and think about that, the true is that everything in the earth the one form or the other is relate.Going deep in the universe is amazing as going to the cell too and see how we are inside and how the world outside is . Some people believe that the world around of us does not have nothing to do with us,but that's not true. The true is that we have relationship with everything around us.This video put people to start thinking about the things that they have around them and how we can sometimes forget about those small things that are more inportant than the material things. We need to protect the people around us, but also the nature because if nature does not exist we would be extinguish.

Feedback for group # 6
1) By reading the introductory paragraph, I exacted this essay to talk about the types of relationships that help us to get motivated. However, the first body paragraph talks mainly about love. Although I strongly believe that love is a key element in motivation, I think you should have emphasized more the way in which the relationship with our families help us to get motivated.
2) At the beginning of the third paragraph, you wrote “Motivation does not always come from material things” Where in the previous paragraphs you talk about material things and motivation? I think that this statement is irrelevant.
3) How does the fourth paragraph connect with the main idea of the essay? The fourth paragraph has confused me a bit. I assumed this essay talks about the motivation that relationships gave us as individuals, not the other way around. I have the impression that this paragraph emphasized the way that relationships are or can be motivated. “One of the things that will ignite relationships is happiness.”
