Discrimination has been around for a very long time. This has been a lot more noticeable in the past than it is now seeing as we study things of that nature in school. In the past, there were laws and not just social instances of discrimination that people had to endure. These laws are especially prominent in the Jim Crow laws. Of course, people like Rosa Parks took initiative and stood up to some of the laws of the time to ultimately to affect change. In history it takes a very special person…

what a difference a couple hundred years can make when it comes to the ways that people lived, and the way that they taught. The way that we receive an education today is much, much different. We not only have freedom of speech, but we are able to practice whatever religion we want to. Due to the fact that people practice many religions, I believe that- thats why religion is not much of a focus in the classroom when it comes to public education. We have a much more diverse educational system…

is the way we see ourselves when we are looking in the mirror, we are imagining our appearance in a specific way, although other people might see us differently. Certain media such as advertisements, magazines, TV shows have a vast influence on how beauty standards are set in a society. A notable impact on body image pressure is that the way children’s toys such as Barbies and superheroes, can affect how children see themselves from a young age. These particular products can have very negative…

Through his experience with his older brother and cousin, he learns valuable lessons that may not be apparent at such a young age. I believe Vaca learns that first impressions, especially those of appearance cannot and should not be a reliable source as to determining somebody's life and motives. When the three boys eventually meet Martin, first interpretations were that Martin was very skinny and dirty. What stuck out most to the boys however was his enormous belly. The three boys immediately…

When I take an inventory of myself dealing with my culture and values I am reminded that values are intangible things that are important factors to us that guide us and become a process of our decision-making. As I pondered on the Ivey’s Respectful Model the top aspects of my identity that stood out most was religion/spirituality, trauma and family background. My religion, Christianity is my top aspect of my identity because it is the one thing that I consider as most valuable. Christianity has…

My papa’s waltz and Those winter Sundays are very much alike, yet still different. First, the poems have different forms and sound. Next, as you read the poems you find that both poems are about their parents, particularly their fathers. The fathers love their sons but show it in very different ways. For example, one father works hard. He keeps the house warm by going out to collect wood for the fire in the snow so his child does not have to. The other is a drunken father who dances with his…

Juvenile Delinquency is a very big problem today and I believe that not enough is being done to curb juvenile crime. There needs to be stronger penalties for crimes they are committing. There needs to be programs set in place to deal with Juvenile emotional problems before the kids resort to criminal activity. There needs to more activities within communities so the children don’t resort to criminal activity as a form of recreation. I think there needs to be some mentoring programs set up so…
