Jan refused to identify a number at which he…

When I think about the meaning of community organizing, I recall a selective memory of my elementary school years. I recall being in Zamora, Michoacan and the teacher telling us that one of our classmate father just passed away. As I just want to point out that the elementary school was on the outskirts of Zamora, and everyone knew each others family. Personally, I knew the señor Francisco Peña but knew him as Don Pancho, he was the carnicero in the area of Valenica. Thus, as I heard the news,…

States, the issue of race, discrimination, and inequalities have been mostly focused around the Mexican-American and Native American populations that have been historically oppressed, marginalized, segregated and forced to Americanize (San Miguel & Valencia, 1998; Tamura, 1994, p. 52). The state of Arizona’s solutions to break up these historically oppressive structures have been to open up all districts to become “open enrollment”. This allows students to choose any school they would like to…

1. Children with sensory processing and autism spectrum disorder were the key words used to search the UNF OneSource database. This research compared the home and the school sensory processing challenges. I continue to be curious about how students act while in the two settings and compare the students’ behavior to each other. 2. Earlier research assisted in identifying sensory processing as how “the central and peripheral nervous systems manage incoming sensory information from sensory…

Five, captures this fault in humans reasoning about war in a single sentence. When questioned by his wife, Valencia, about his time in the war, Billy Pilgrim didn’t feel antagonized by what she said, he realized “it was a simple-minded thing for a female Earthling to do, to associate sex and glamor with war.”(SH5, pg. 121) In a sense, Vonnegut uses this interaction between Pilgrim and Valencia as a personification of the interactions common to many veterans who have returned home. Those who…
