Our guest speaker, Dr. Medina, was very enlightening. As he spoke about the Arnold Sarn case, and what it had accomplished, it was sad that it took so long to get these necessities established from the seriously mentally ill.

By enrolling the individuals that were covered…
1. What are your verbal triggers? Give a couple of examples and explain why they are triggers. They, he /she, can’t do it, is an absolutely gut wrenching trigger for me. Who said that? and why the heck are you acknowledging that kind of behavior? I have heard this said one to many times in my own personal life and in the lives of others. Let the person decide what they can and cannot do before you say they can’t. Who do you think you are, is another trigger I cannot stand. Or, I showed you…
rights and opportunities as white people. Even more so than they did in the 60s. But that is not for every case. Discrimination still exists and it 's on both sides, black and white. I am not trying to say that black people are being discriminated against because they are. While groups like the KKK and Neo-nazi exist there will always be people against black citizens. However the discrimination is on both sides, for example when a white man is shot unarmed by a police officer. The news doesn 't…

Nowadays, there is progress concerning the subject of gender issues, but it would be wrong to think that men and women are treat equally in Togo. Historically, men always have a higher financial, legal and political power over women. Men have more job opportunities than women do. At home, women are always fighting for their freedom because of the mistreatments that they are victim of. They have been some difficulties for women to get an education because they have always been considered as good…
During this course, there were some prejudices that I have discovered that I did not think I had. One of the prejudices discovered was against Euro-Americans, believing that most of them had it easy because they were white. I learned that me believing in this, came from how I grew up.
