First Triumvirate

Today, I want to talk about how interesting it is to speak another language that is not your mother tongue language and see young children acquire language so quickly. I was born in California but raised most of my time in Korea. Since my first language was Korean, I consider English my second language and therefore, I had to “learn” English when I was about 7 years old. Human language is extremely interesting in the fact that when you are young, you learn it naturally without a great deal of…

since that have had a solid foundation in first and second grade. At one point in the chapter Tompkins writes, “Students supply the ideas for writing and teachers model how to tackle common writing problems” (2012, p. 23). I see this as starting to develop critical thinking at an early age, but in a way that is not too much for them to handle. I understand that first grade may seem a little young to have the students contribute ideas, but I believe that first and second graders know a lot more…

Canada has several anti-discrimination laws that are meant to protect all Canadians, the definition of which is meant to include Indigenous women. Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, passed in 1982, gives all Canadian equal rights to life, liberty, and security of the person. And yet, the law fails to protect Indigenous women time and time again. According to the 2015 NWAC (Native Women’s Association of Canada)’s fact sheet on missing and murdered Indigenous women,…

Over the semester in this course, the sole focus was the Crusades. The Crusades is not a proud history for Christians. The brutality used and the amount of death that resulted in the acts of the Crusades has left its imprint on history forever, but there is much more to the Crusades than this. From this course, the most important concept learned from this course is the fact that the Crusades is something that is not easily understood or explained. There are so many components and concepts that…

It is not surprising that the movements of the Sixties were global. The “long 1960s,” the period that stretched from 1954 to 1975, followed the second World War of the century; even the name connotes the new scale of the world. People could be interconnected, especially as new technologies could communicate liberal philosophies across the globe. White students living in American cities could read “Third World” liberation theories and find applicability in their own self-styled liberation…

International criminal court was created to create peace in the world by enforcing law and arresting those guilty of crimes again human rights. The ICC is not only for third world countries, dictatorship ruled countries, war ridden countries; it is also for first world countries. ICC attempts to or catches criminals that revoke human rights by enacting in illegal activities; such as LRA militants that take children from their homes, make them pick up guns and kill their parents. In third world…

democracy can survive.” In Jamieson’s essay “English only movement” he discusses different ways speaking only English is both beneficial and negative. He uses many examples and illustrations to explain the reasoning behind judging a person’s language. The first example is of a Judge in Texas who “ruled the mother was abusive to her five year old daughter by only speaking to her in Spanish.” Some say it will not foster a better communication especially if they want to “succeed in this country.”…

Homelessness is an issue that goes back as far as the 1640s. The County of Los Angeles has been trying to combat the issues of homelessness for decades. The total estimated number of people experiencing homelessness in “Los Angeles County” according to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is “46,874, an overall increase of 2,515 people or 5.7% from 2015 (44,359)” LAHSA.ORG (2016).
