MLK v. Malcolm X

Both had a very effective plan to accomplish thier goals on the Civil Right Movement.I would have to agree that Malcolm X was increasinly more effective because his had to do with more of the violence side.Although MLK was with preaching and that made a difference Malcolm on the other hand didnt let anyone just talk down on them or put their hands on them.For example the qoute about humans should be respected regardless of their color or when he said that peace and freedom can not be separated because no one can be at peace unless they have freedom would have probably made it more effective to the people who were listening and wanted change.

Meritocracy

I believe that this ideology does work because once your categorized as being a minor you are bound to do worst because your selfesteem has gone down.In reverse when your put in a more superior group you confidence increases to a high point and you do better than the other group.When your put in a situation where your being placed in something that you feel that you dont belong in,you wont even care to try anymore because you feel as if its not fair,but once you get to be on the superior side that automatically changes.For example when the teacher said that blue eyed people are better than brown eyed people the children were all in schocked because some would agree and the others would disagree and would have something to say.

I am poem

I am the lunch counter sit in
I wonder if i'll ever see the end of this
I hear hatred from the mountain tops
I see no change
I want equality
I am the lunch counter sit in

I pretend that I will see equality in the end
I feel the hostility burning through my flesh
I need love and good will at al times
I worry that this will never end
I cry internally to show no display of weakness
I am the lunch counter sit in

I understand the miscompsention of these people...
I believe unity is soon to come...
I dream of peace between all humanity...
I try not to wake from such a realistic thing...
I hope for this dream to come true a dream of change because...
I am the lunch counter sit in

What happened in Jena,Louisiana shocked me because fifty years before african american students were fighting for their right to attend a high school that was yet to be intergrated.Now that all schools across america are intergrated students of tha race are acting out of rage.What stood out to me the most in the passage was nooses being hunged and students taking an offense to it.In both incidents it involved black students who were trying to get justice.The Jena case spread quicly because of college students,radio,all kinds of things,and the Little rock 9 was spread by peoples hatred towards them and  how they did not want them to go to school that was al white.Both cases are similar in many ways because both deal with justice.

Shoah Foundation.

Each survivor from the holocaust that would talk about their experience in the concentration camps was horrible.One of the testimonies that stood out the most was the one when his father took them into a hidding place.When he came out he had seen a friend that he knew with two other kids tht were the same age as him and had machine guns.They shot at them but missed.I can not believe all the things that happened to these survivors.As they would speak I felt as if everything that was being said was pain.It is so unbelievable what the Germans would do to.It upsets me because all these people were vulnerable.They could not do anything about it.

Show and Tell.

These are a pair of field boots from World War 2.These field boot are from 1941.They are a size 81\2 and are the first models of boots that they started to use.Before they started sewing the rubber shoes sole on them because of the leather wear.The significants of this item is that it gives you a chance to see or imagen how you would feel if you were to be put in their shoes.The shoes may look in good condition but we do not know what went on with the person who wore them the entire time of the war.Just by looking at the boots I feel like if I could tell a a whole story about the war like if I was pratically their.

Organized Crimes

In the small groups presentations each "gangster" that did something that made them  pay the price of going to jail.Bonnie and Clyde were a couple who did so many crimes and killed innocent people that were not even involved in the things that they were doing.So basically the duo killed anybody that got in their way at anything.Later both Bonnie and Clyde did from a setupAlso these people had ways to get what they wanted when it illegal.For example the use of alcohol was not allowed but they still muggled in alcoholic drinks and did not care.Many of them were sentence for robbing banks.

"song of the shirt"

The life for those textile factory workers was so hard.The reason why is because in the song it mentions how long they work when he says work,work,work, till the stars shine trough the roof.Also how he describes how the women were dressed in un-womanly rags and how they were sweing the whole time.So their life must of been really hard because they barely got any sleep and had to work to help their family.

Discuss why you agree or disagree with the blogging assessment system used in this course. Your opinion will not affect your grade. You will be assessed on how you formulate your argument.

The whole blogging idea is very cool but I dont like it at the same time because i get very distracted and forget about the blog and decide to go on facebook or go on you tube to look up videos.Its very ahrd to stay concentrated when the computer is sitting right in front of you and you cant help but on another website.

2.Was your learning different when blogging, as compared to writing just pen and paper?

Yes very different.The reason is because blogging is so much better than writing about something on a piece of paper.

Which blogging topic was your favorite from first quarter?

My favorite blogging topic from the first quarter was the one about the sterotypes because we had the chance to explain what it was aking and also give example like I did.

3.What effect did Reconstruction have on former slaves? Were they better off after Reconstruction than they were before the Civil War?

The reconstruction had effects on the south beacuse it was granting them amnesty.It was replacing all loyal rules in the south and Lincoln was doing partons to all.One effect that it had on the south was that the republicans were angry because the conferderate members were allowed to stay in the United States congress.They also had the three amendments which ended slavery,due process which meant that they had rights and security of freed people,and the right to vote no matter the race,color,or previous condition of servitude,but expect gender.And I personally think that they were better off after the Recontruction because they did not have as much rights as they had before.

2.During Reconstruction there was great debate over whether the South should be granted amnesty. What are your thoughts? Defend your argument

The south should've been granted amnesty because all the people that were hurt.Also even though the republicans were angry because the confederate members were allowed to stay in congress doesnt mean they shouldnt of been able to be granted amnesty.When Lincoln had a plan for the reconstruction one of his plans was to grant the south amnesty,replace the loyal rule in the south.And he was going to take someone out of jail.

1.When Thoreau said, "that government is best which governs least", what do you think he meant? Do you agree or disagree? Explain.

It meant that when the goverment trys to take power over something else when they should just leave it alone or when they should only govern when its really needed.I do agree because sometimes the I think the government trys to take matters into their on hands and should really leave things the way they are if the situation is really not that serious.Also for example when each state has a law they probably want a say in that law and would probably want to change it when they want to and it just can not be that way.  

why are stereotypes always mention in our society?

Stereotypes are always in our society beacuse thats the only way we know how to deccribe a person.For example lets say we see a african american we immediately think they have no knowledge about anything or live in the worse neighborhoods when really they can be the one of the smartest people and live in a safe environment.Another example can be that just beacuse some white girls have blonde hair are so stupid and can be called "bimbos"but then again they can be really smart.Also theirs alot of people that stereotype puerto ricans beacuse they are so loud and called them "mira-miras" when really thats not nessecary.So basically stereotypes can be like judging a book by its cover.
