American Dream

Article: The dream of the author is clearly presesnt in the first papagraph and his dream is that he wasnts to be President at some point in his life. A few things that the author has gone through in his personal life is the fact that he had family members that were members of the KKK. Another revelation was the fact that he was gay.
Reflections: I believe that the quote by Jennings almost hits it on the nose or in other words this quote couldnt be more true. America is not just going to change all at once, i believe that America will become equal in years to come. I say this because years ago gays were killed if the community found out of this information, and today gays are apart of everyday society as any other citizen is. If you have to change your own personal attributes to make somebody else happy you are truely failing at being yourself.

Listen: Throughout this entry the author tries to describe in most cases why rascism is present, especially in writing. The main reason our author says rascism is present is because the young and old are simply not taught our history. It is hard to point the finger at one individual do to the chain of people that rascism goes through. For example, internalized oppresion opression is basically a catogory that a certain color gives another which includes jokes, comments and so forth.
Talk: I beleive that simply understanding rascism and putting words into actions will actually help the rascism situation.

Child Traffing in Cambodia

In the article dealing with Child Trafficking in Cambodia there are several emotions present present and expressed in an academic manner. I say this because the author of this article seems to have some sort of relation or passion connecting to her topic of Child trafficking. Throughout this paper there is a lot of literature and statistics that are referred too. This article there is a relation to our class because she refers to other social action topics throughout the paper as well as her paper alone being a social action project.

Excercise 3.4

  What this article is trying to explain is the main differences between serious music and popular music.  This article insists that the music should and can be classified into these two catagories.  This article argues that there is a very distinct difference between the two of these catogories. 

Research Questions

Here are three research quesstions that I had revised and broke down.
How are Immigration laws different in the 21st century compared to the late 20th century?
How did post 9/11 effect these immigration laws?
What type of problem is illegal immigration to the United States today?
 
  I believe that these questions are not completely done, but it is a start to me forming a topic and well put together introduction.
