I AM

I am mulatto
I am the element of the melting pot
I am the mixing spoon
I am trying not to see color
I am all for equality
I am not convinced change will come
I am positive there will be prejudice
I am adapting to the daily hate
I am deaf to the races slang
I am apathetic to the callow racist

Far From A Metling Pot

The students in Jena, Louisiana should commited a hate crime, but what was most disgusting is that they were not given punishment for their actions. My reaction is nonchalant, racism in the United States stands strong, and there will never be a day of no prejudice. This incident and the one in Little Rock, 50 years apart, are similiar in the way that there was not punishment for hate crime. I see prejudice and racism as something callow and very shamefull.

MLK VS. MALCOM X

MLK's methodology on civil rights rein over Malcom's, because the use of passive resistance is amazing. Confusing your oppressor with love when the enemy is expecting violence, is most effective to change. As well his use of boycott, these are all non-violent demonstrations of effective change to equal rights.

Mind Over Matter

The American dream still stands true, because if you have the right mind-set and stay stern on your goals you will achive. The students in this study whom were considered superior performed better than the inferior assigned students.

Melting Pot

Norman Rockwell's painting "The Golden Rule", exposes the adaptation of America becoming a melting pot of all cultures and religions. This is a rubric, stating that we must accept others.

Make Me A Sammich

This is sexism, one of many ideas of what a woman should be in the 1950's. This advertises a new stove with a house wife smiling, the idea that the woman belonging in the kitchen.

Paris Hilton

This post "http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/04/03/health/webmd/main1464262.shtml" from a 2006 CBS article, explains the influence on teenagers about sex. The experiment tested 12-14 year olds, grouping the teens by media exposure. Teens that were exposed to sexual content were twice as vulnerable, but for African Americans their abstinence was deprived from their parents attitude on sex. Yes we are influenced by media, but parents also attribute.

Truth

Should we censor the truth? Make every child blind and believe the ideas of other people? Not to let children see with their own eyes, and make their own perspective? Where would our variety of opinionated views come from? Would you want the future generations to have the same opinions? Do you want us to be brain washed?

Hope

This is a photo of the film Cinderella Man, it makes me feel a sense of hope in hard times, as you see in the film his oldest son is afraid of being sent away to extend family. Cause their parents can' t take care of them. But this is reassuring that everything will be fine. http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/universal_pictures/cinderella_man/russell_crowe/cinderella2.jpg

The hopeless and inferior

I think the US should be involved in every sort of genocide, stopping it from happening or while its occurring, and staying till that nation has a resolution. If the US has the resources, and the opportunity to help another people, then we should be obliged to help. That also goes for every other nation, but of course in reality. Nothing will be done effectively enough to stop genocide from happening.

Fighting Hunger

In the 1930's the Great Depression began, the film Cinderella Man shows us the lifestyle and struggles through a boxers perspective of James J. Braddock and his family.

Steady income- James fighting his way up to become champ from 1926-1929 before the depression. http://www.jamesjbraddock.com/record/

Depression- Boxing is still a very popular sport during the depression, it was like going to the movies, affordable entertainment. But Braddock enters a fight while not adjusted to the changes of rations, performing unfavorably and causing a tie.

Proving his worthiness- The heads of the boxing commerce decied to not allow james to fight anymore, cause of the embarrassment he caused. But he talks his way back into new hope.

Rise from the ashes- James continues his fighting, giving the public a hope from the depression, as if he was fighting for the people.

Finale- Fights for the championship title, wins the match, and the end.

Just cause

The evidence shown in this trial clearly shows Sacco and Vanzetti were guilty.

Which would you like to learn?

Teaching evolution and religion are based off what you believe, so students should be given the option to learn about any religion/science they want. It is not fair to have only one certain study out of thousands of others. I think there shouldn't be any if you can't have all.

American Crime

What I learned from the presentations, is that America's first organized crime was caused by it's own government, prohibition. People were formed to get alcohol, cause the government said they could no longer manufacture or sale booze. Our natural reaction to this, is to enter the door that says 'Do Not Enter'. These gangsters were ruthless, collaborating with one another, then turning on each other. From bank robberies, too moving rum, this was the 1920's gangsters.

Concept Guide Roaring Twenties

The scopes trial- teaching evolution, instead of teaching religion in schools. We now learn evolution

Prohibition- a women's movement to ban alcohol

Flappers- women who were wild, showed skin and smoked/drink in public

Economic issues- demand, debt

Dust Bowl- dust storms, caused by over farming, fatal

Agriculture Issues- over farming, machines produce too fast

Immigration Policies- quota of immigrants allowed in the US each year

Nativism- trying to preserve native Americans from the United States of America

Significant Literary Works- Jungle, The Ways of The White Folk, Unsafe at Any Speed

The Great Migration- a movement of African Americans from the south to the north, because of job opportunities, thus creating the Harlem renaissance

Sacco and Vanzetti- Italian anarchists, example of red scare, sentenced to death

Labor Issues- no leadership, manipulation

Red Scare- the American fear of communism, results of Palmer Raids- arresting innocent foreigners of suspicion of communism

Schenk vs. USA- espionage act

Leaks

 Wiki leaks must be shut down. Hackers shouldn't be butting in on government operations. All the documents should be disclosed and only to be seen by the eyes of officials of that faction. The sole purpose of this exploit is to bring down the powerful nations and their government systems. This is just a strike from competitors, trying to turn a nation on another over documents.

From the Roaring Twenties to the Kiss Off

Everything was berry in the early 20's, until it became baloney and balled up into the Great Depression. People bumping off themselves, going insane, knowing their no longer the big cheese. Others capering away banks for rubes. People getting on edge off boot leg, escaping reality, but the prohibition laws pinching. Runners on the lam. It was one big applesauce mess.

"Unthinkable"

The film Unthinkable correlates to the scenario of interrogating a terrorist prisoner with innocent lives at stake, showing how unpredictable a situation like this can be. I would treat these prisoners with torture, in my opinion there would be no repercussions. A consequence of media exposure doesn't matter, its war, all that

mumbo-jumbo is perspective views and the enemy sure as hell isn't taking second thoughts on the Geneva Convention. The consequence of killing the detainee and not getting answers or lies is a possibility, but why wait and risk more civilian/troops lives?

"I don't like your tone of additude"

The American declaration of war with the Germans had a sense of call to duty, its shows what the Germans did wrong to the American ships and we must take action, but it seems that we wanted peace in the beginning. The German response shows we are united with England, which is their enemy, thus makes Americans their enemy as well. The Germans probably responded to Americans, that you are the enemy.
