we cannot chuse but hear (3)

This Poem is about the oil Spill that messing up the land and the earth. This thing makes a lot of people asking is it the end of the world? But is GOD the one that created nature? Because if it created by GOD, it is not our responsibility to control. People nowadays think they can do anything they want to do and don't even think about the end results. We are in a deep hole and we to find a way out.

fix the shading on the cildren's faces (4)

This poem is about Racism. Why people in this country so worry about skin color? This thing has to stop because we are all people whether you white or black? And some people so stupid they changed their skin color. You have to accept what GOD gave you. I'm black and I’m proud to be black. This is something that will probably always go on but we need to be happy about our skin color.

Assignment II

By doing those surveys that were posted in the second assignment I discover a lot about myself and what I believe in. Some things you never know if you believe on them unless you ask yourself the question and sometimes your answer can even surprise you. Those surveys make me see what I believe in and what is more important to my life. For example, I have high expectations in my values and expect others of my culture to have the same expectations as me, but I forget sometimes that everyone is different and see things differently.
I also strongly agree with the fact of interacting with other races or cultures because I believe that you could learn a lot from others and that could make you a better person. The more you accept and understand others, the more positive and successful you are. In addition, we should also accept the sexual orientation of one another because not everyone had the same sexual experiences and sometimes you do not even know the origin of the other. I understand that God did not create us to be attracted of the person of the dame sex, but we also have to understand that you cannot blame or discriminate someone because of their sexual orientation
Politic is not something that I am really into, but you still have to get some knowledge regarding what is going on in the world and by knowing the past you know what to not do in the future. So many crimes happen because of discrimination and prejudice in the past that you cannot be thinking about acting the same way and all of those misunderstanding to others are related to politics.

Reflection Paper 14

For so long, America had always had the migration problem. Some of the poor countries always had political instability and some people were not able to take the pressure. Look at Cuba for example; this country was under the control of Castro for so long nobody had the courage to protest against his political method. Since Miami was the closest state of the United States to Cuba, Miami became one of the states where you find more immigrants. The immigrants’ rather take the boat and did not even care about if they were going to be a live or not, but they were just worry about leaving their country in order to find a better opportunity and a better style of life without any type of pressure.
It was almost the same situation with the migration of Haitians in the United States. After a long time under dictatorial government, the Haitians had find a leader which they had believed in, but even this leader name Aristide could stay in the country because it was a chaos, people were killed everywhere and for no good reason. Because the population was asking so bad for the return of this leader, the Americans did not have any choose unless bring him back to the country, but that did not make anything better. Haitians still migrate to the United States because they could not find a better life.
This lecture make you see things better and make you see the reality between those poor countries and the United States that it consider a country of support for most of us.

Reflection Paper 16

Transsexuality is like a gender identity disorder where the person does not feel comfortable in the gender and they obsessed about having surgery in transform themselves to the opposite sex or dress like the opposite sex. For instance, some men feel the needs to wear women clothes and feel more comfortable by do all the stuff a woman will do. In addition, some will have surgeries like implanting a lot of women part to their body and take shots that will develop their women chromosomes, and even remove their penis in order to have a woman apparel genital. Also you will see women doing all they can in order to become a man, but it is more popular to see a man become a woman.
On the order hand, there is the word intersexuality which means for a woman or a man to have both sexes. To illustrate, some people were born with both sex and it will be up to them to decide which one they would have to keep and sometimes their parents are the one making the choices for that person since he or she was a little child.
Those lectures teach me a lot about gender and sexuality and I know someone can be so different from another one in their sexual life, but sometimes it is not what the person really want but instead what the person was born with.
