    In the book "If I Ever Get Out of Here" the author Eric Gansworth writes about the dangers of assumptions. He writes about this theme throughout the book by introducing situations in which an assumption of a character or a group, often times based on race, turns out to be incorrect and leads to issues between the two people or groups. Lewis and his family both make assumptions about George's family because he is from off the reservation and there are assumptions made about Indians and Lewis by teachers, classmates, store workers, and more. While Lewis is being bullied by Evan, a kid at his school, many people didn't believe that the situation was as bad as Lewis claimed. When discussing the problem in the lunchroom some of the kids agreed that Lewis is just "making the easy Indian claim" (p. 207).…

    In Simon Dumenco’s writing titled: “If We’re All So Sick of You, Facebook, Why Can’t We Quit You?” , Simon touches upon the fact that when people attempt to take a break from Facebook, Facebook sends them emails, trying to convince them to come back. He also explains how, originally, people felt required to make a Facebook, and now, people feel like they have to have the mobile app. Despite Simon having the opinion that people have difficulty escaping Facebook’s grasp, he also seems to imply that he thinks Facebook is a phase that will eventually die out, just like MySpace and AOL.…

    Starting off with the movie that we watched in class “Straight Laced” I thought that was a very interesting movie and something that gave me personally a lot of perspective and sort of opened my eyes a little bit. Because I am from a big city (washington Dc), I am used to being around people who are openly gay or openly transgender. But it really made me think about my high school. My high school was in the city and prided itself on diversity when in reality it was not that diverse. I think that my high school was similar to the movie.…

Many are not aware of these limitations and are not aware of just how many our world possesses. Some countries have more restrictions than others, but overall there are some phrases that are against the law to use, for example, shouting “fire” in a theater full of people (Turley 160).…

    The phrases "win me over" and, "show me..." call to mind an audition. It would surprise no one to hear that between the judges and the auditioning actor there exists a power dynamic. Who would assert that the judges and the actor are coequals when the judges are the gatekeepers to what the actor wants, namely a position in a production? Analogically a similar power dynamic exists in the initial stages of the dating process where a man presents the best of himself to the lady in question in the hope that will lead to sex. The phraseology above on the one hand straightforwardly expresses the desire for an equal despite on the other promulgating only the conditions necessary for the 'supplier side' of this particular power dynamic to acquiesce to the buyer.…
