First, I want to talk and discuss about “Race.” In this world, we have many countries with many types of people like: Korean, American, Vietnamese, Indian, and etc. there is not only cause they lived in different countries, for they have different about culture, skin, and language of each countries. I am a Vietnamese person and living in there for seventeen years before I moved to U.S. When I came to America, I saw a lot of difference from culture to race of people. There are people with white, black skin and even more color than that. I wondered in my mind that do they are alien. But, I was wrong about that. Then, I saw a different culture from them to my culture. They wear some clothes which I never seen it before and the way they celebrated the holiday together with conversation with people. Also, Race is not only descried about people. It is also described about cars, house, and more thing. For example, we can compare the fastest of each cars, boats, or any machines. That is so interesting for me because I have lived in my hometown for a long time but I did not know about outside that we have a lot of thing we did not know and how to accept it. Second it is about Culture. It is so interesting word to discuss and talk about it. Like some sentences I had told you about who I am, I lived in country with a popular culture and so interesting. In my culture, we always believed that we are son/daughter of god. The country have passed war with many strong enemies like: America,…

Regarding this, I find myself at the first stop of the Blue Line railway system, the 7th and Metro Station in Downtown Los Angeles on a Tuesday morning. This station is underground and is a regional connector to other rail lines and buses. People are constantly on the move and vary in ethnicity (White, African American, Latino, Asian) and age (elderly, middle-aged). People dressed in professional attire or uniform roam the station while other passengers are in casual attire. Law enforcement is…

strangers. He goes through the tunnel and his head starts to hurt from the numerous signs offering goods and services since he has to memorize all of them. He sits down outside a café and does a problem called “Conway’s Soldiers” in his head to calm himself. I find it interesting on how Christopher decides to calm himself down. He uses math and puzzles. That is the last thing that I think about doing. When I want to calm down I go to stuff that doesn 't require me to think. He does the opposite.…

It was last summer. While browsing on the Wechat, I was captivated by a story. This story begins like that a couple broke up at the airport. The girl said: “every day I am waiting for you. It’s just exhausted. At first I thought you would come back if I just wait for one more minute, but now I know there’s no point to waiting for you any more, because just like you could never get on a train in an airport, I could never expect the wrong person on the wrong place in a wrong time.” On that day…

of the poor-minority community, shows the prejudice that the police in our everyday society have, and walks through the life of Oscar Grant III, 24 hours before his murder. The ethnophaulism that is used is both derogatory and uncalled for; As well, the prejudice that someone encounters on a daily basis is unbelievably sad. The struggles of minority people in the United States often disregarded, and the outcome of hate crimes and prejudice is becoming an enormous problem. The movie Fruitvale…

Governor Hogan, I heard about the Purple Line proposal that has been circulating for awhile now. After doing more research, I have concluded that I do not believe that we should build the new light rail because of the impact that it will have on the environment, the businesses in the new area, and the expenses. As you may know, the construction of the new Purple Line will cause damage to Rock Creek Park and the Capital Crescent Trail. The Purple Line would displace the current Capital…

mishaps that clutched my sympathy card that won the day, well the novel did get a 'Prix Goncourt.' Notably, everyone lives in trepidation of waking up on Christmas morning and finding two blocks of ice peeping out from the duvet - a visitation from Frosty the Snowman, I hasten a guess. The 'Evening Standard' paid homage to the beyond brilliance of capturing sympathy from the off; thus, as a Houellebecq fan and reader; I, don't fully agree. I've good knowledge that Houellebecq grumbled…
