Racism

I guess that I was really blinded by a sheltered life here in the midwest, I never thought that the KKK or racism in south was really that bad. I knew that there still was some racism but not that much. I guess i'm really surprised and it bothers me that its still here. Its not right for people to be like that to treat other people like shit and to degrade them. I guess it bothers me that I really didn't know about all of what was going on and it scared me to think that even after all those people fought to be rid of the racism that its still here. I think that because we will always have people of different race's and color's we will always have prejudice people in the world. Its not right, but it happens. I do think that this needs to change and i believe that maybe the U.S needs to get it's nose out of afghanistan and Iraq and into it's own soil so that it can change the way we are.

45% Of Students Don't Learn Much In College

I think that what they are saying in this article is really true. I think that alot of the material that they have for required materials in the first few years of college is a lot of repeat of hich school. I do know that in my psychology class that I took last semester, It was almost exactly like that i took in my junior year of high school. I think that if they really want us to learn more then they should be pushing for harder classes. Ones that aren't repetes from High School. I do think that your class is healthy for us because you make us think about what we are talking about and its not an easy class.

Fake Twitter Acounts

I think that its pretty ridiculous that in our society today, if we aren't of a high power then our opinions don't matter as much. With everything that is going on now a days, with fraud, I think that these people that use other names to create an image for theselves is kind of like steeling. The guy that used the fake name to state things about the Republican consultant just shows how creepy people are. With all the new technology that is out there it is giving people ideas to try to steel other people's lives. I think that is unamerican and really unethical.

My First Paper

Well, I really am not good a writing research papers. I thought that the book was really good, I just didn't see the point of writing a research paper about it. I do think that a little more like constructive critisizim would be more helpful to sriting papers and especially on in class things like the essay quiz. I think that it would be helpful if we didn't get an A on that paper and got  B or C or F then you could explain a little about what you thought that it needed to make it better. I think that would have made writing this paper, and others in the future more helpful.
