predominately white community. Growing up, I knew that I was different. Throughout my schooling career, I have been associated with multiple stereotypes. I have been called derogatory terms and asked stereotypical questions, such as if I am related to Jackie Chan or if I ate dog. People pretended they knew Chinese just by…

Historically, human rights violations began when Cain killed his brother Abel and violated his right to have a life. Therefore, humans agreed that a murder without guilt is a kind of human right’s abuse. Also, there are many examples in history of human rights violations, such as prisoners’ torture after the war ended, the slave bazaars, and arbitrary executions.

Lee reimagined martial arts through his teachings, and philosophical ideas. Through his work in motion pictures he has evolved into legend. Bruce Lee guest-stared many actors in his films that also became legends, stars such as Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan.

The anticipation was killing me. I had been waiting for this day for what seemed like forever, and I was so glad it had finally come. I’d been talking about it all week, and I was starting to annoy people. However, I just couldn’t help it. I felt like my heart was going to explode out of my chest with all the happiness inside me. I’d been trying not to think about it because it made me anxious. Now that it was time, it was the only thing on my mind. The day started out great just like I’d hoped…

What are heroes? What are villains? Heroes and villains aren’t super humans who have godlike powers. Heroes don’t wear masks, capes, or any of those cool, fancy clothing. Heroes are something else, they are a lot different than the heroes you see on television. Heroes are people who do good and try to help others, while villains are bad and try to hurt others in anyway possible. Villains, on the other hand, are bad and try to hurt others in anyway possible. Heroes and villains can be related to…

Those are a few examples of the internalization in society. It’s sad to say that people are being oppressed and marginalized today, like right now. It’s bad enough that these issues exist, but it’s worse when it comes from your own people. But this isn’t just on a race or ethnicity scale. It’s much broader than that; ranging from gender, age, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, and the list goes on. How does marginalization and oppression occur? It can come from subtle prejudice, structural…
