To kill with kindness or violence.

In my opinion, i believe Malcom X' methodology was more affective because of the fact that when people are scared they will do anything and you can change a lot of peoples emotions if you put a gun to their head. and yes, this is bad but its true. whne your scared to death you will do practically anything. On the other hand, even though MLKs methodolgy was affective you could probably easily change the ideas of the person you were being kind with, with violence instead of being silent and not taking any course of action. I, myself, have used MLKs methodology when people wanted to fight me and say mean things and expect me to say nasty things back but instead i just kept quit and i know that it hurt them the most then just starting more drama by replying back. even though you could end the situation by being violent.

If i work hard, what do i get?

I think meritocracy could exist but at the same time its really based on your desicions. I know many people who have worked hard to get out of a low situation for example, like those who live in a poor area and education is not great. Some strive to get out of the area and push themselves with the mentality that if they DO work really hard they will get out and recieve the better things. Many people dont even try. I also know people who had a unfortuante childhood and did nothing whatsoever to get out, recieve an education or have any goals in general and the better things were just thrown at them. money, a great job etc. which makes other people believe , well if they can do it, i can do it. From "a class dvided" it sort of proves my point when i said its really based on how you view things and your ideas, like the kids, they really didnt understand what was going on, but they acted the way they did because of what someone else told them and by the better things they recieved.
In my opinion, i think if you strive for what you really dream of and never give up youll recieve it, and if you dont then youll recieve something just as great while trying to reach your goal.

I am..

I am a black woman participating in lunch counter sit-ins
I wonder what the outcome will be
I hear them all scream my name
I see my friends being beaten; close to death
I want to change all of this
I am a black woman participating in lunch counter sit-ins
I pretend as if these beatings don't hurt me
I feel the anger rising around me
I need more motivation
I worry for the lives of my friends
I cry at the thought of death
I am a black woman participating in lunch counter sit-ins
I understand the consequences of my actions
I believe that I can make a change
I dream that one day this world will become one
I try to convince them that it will
I hope that I'm right
I am a black woman participating in lunch counter sit-ins

Topic 11 concept Guide


  • MLK and Civil Disobedience - Martin Luther King Jr. helped organize and lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955. Although he got arrested, the protest lasted 381 days until the Supreme Court took the case and declared the discrimination unconstitutional. Black people could now get on the bus and sit anywhere they wanted, without having to pay more or give up their seat based on race. He used the method of civil disobedience under his non-violent peace and equality movements.

  • Power of the "Mob"-MLK taught his followers to be civily disobedient to resist violence and prove their point. The mob usually controls the outcome of the event because it's based on a majority system.


  • Plessy v. Ferguson : Brown v. Board of Education - Plessy vs Ferguson is the Supreme Court law that acknowledged "separate but equal" accommodations for blacks and whites. This case was deemed unconstitutional in 1954 by Brown vs Board of Education; So Brown vs Board basically overturned Plessy vs Ferguson.


  • Civil Rights Goals - In the 1960s, civil rights really started to become a big issue. People finally attempted the push for change; this was either carried out with nonviolence or "by any means necessary." Rights of equality in education and society were the main concerns (Little Rock 9, MLK civil disobedience, freedom rides, Malcolm X peace and harmony)


  • Eisenhower's Role in Little Rock - The students of Little Rock, Arkansas were prevented from entering the racially segregated school due to Governor Orval Faubus ordering the Arkansas National Guard to blockade the black students outside of the school. These students were now faced with more danger than ever because along with the National Guard, came angry mobs. In response to this, President Eisenhower sent federal troops to enforce integration and protect the nine students. On September 24, 1957, the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army overpowered the 10,000 National Guard members, taking it out of the governor's hands.


  • Rights of the Accused - Gideon v Wainwright said that the 6th Amendment requires counsel for defendants who are unable to afford their attorney, taxes will pay for legal representation. Escobedo v Illinois said that criminal suspects have the right to counsel during police interrogation. Miranda v. Arizona said that criminal suspects must be informed of their right to consult with a counsel prior to interrogation.


  • Brown v Board of Education - the decision of the US Supreme Court that declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students unconstitutional.


  • Chavez and United Farm Workers - Cesar Chavez formed the United Farm Workers and helped organize strikes and civil disobedience for migrant workers. Even though he fought for rights of immigrants, he did not support their act of immigrating because he could only help the workers already there and couldn't handle anymore.


  • FHA & ADA - The Federal Housing Administration: US government agency that insured loans made by banks and other private lenders for home building and home buying. The goals are to improve housing standards and conditions, provide and adequate home financing system through insurance of mortgage loans and to stabilize the mortgage market. The Americans with Disabilities Act: enacted by the US Congress in 1990. It is a wide ranging civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability.


  • Purpose of Filibusters - Filibusters are used to stop the opposing side from speaking. This tactic was used in the House of Representatives and the Senate to stop the Civil Rights Legislation from being passed. The speaker usually just talks nonstop about random things and is ironically quite successful.


  • Sit-ins & Protests - A sit-in is a form of protest that involves occupying seats or sitting down on the floor of an establishment. The protesters remain until are evicted by force or arrested. They have historically been successful because they cause disruption that draws attention to the protesters' cause and are non-violent. Other protests were civil disobedience, violence, mobs, strikes and fasting.

SO im a girl and what!


Sexism has occured throughout history for years and years, and is till occuring today and most people dont realize it. Ever since the 1950's, us woman are made out to be only working in the kitchen, cleaning and taking care of the kids and our husband. Sure there isnt a problem with this, but we can do other things as well. We can do "boy work" we can farm, work in a factory, but in our time today, woman control their own businesses and we own our own things and are independent. Today, though, sexism seems to slowly creep through the walls once more. In my opinion, it would be nice for my job to be a housewife and have the husband work and make money but i dont enjoy the fact of being frowned upon because im a girl and i do have my rights just like everyone else.

Our Brains shall be fried for all eternity.

In my opinion, television has destroyed our society in many ways. Many people look at tv as positive, and in ways it is. Its entertaining and intresting. Most people do not notice that television corrupts the mind and causes the body to become lazy and affects how social some people are. Its nice to watch television once in awhile but to crave it everyday like an addict is too much. Especially with all the ridiculous reality shows they have playing nowadays its affecting our generation involving violence and other situations. People dont realize how much fun life is outside of the box, i personally havent watched tv in probaly 2-3 months and im still doing great. It cannot even compare to the computer with facebook and all. People should be more active!

Ring from German Bunker at Stalingrad

It took me forever to find a piece that caught my attention, i wasnt looking for just some medal, or helmet because thats seems to be all that shows up. But this ring, whoever wore it during the war has many storied behind it. Yes, you can take your helmet or boots with you during the war, but what does it signify? But a ring, theres a reason to have a ring and it still didnt get destroyed. I would like to know who owed this ring, how they got it, and how many situations that person has been through wearing this ring. I think a ring like this signifies many things.

Holocaust reaction

After viewing the first video on George, im not going to lie, I cried a little bit because the Holocaust is a subject that affects me a lot. Im still unsure why the Holocuast has such a huge affect on me to where everytime i get a second where i watch a video or see images i will become very sad. In this video, it made me insanely sad, and i couldnt believe he started crying. i cant even say how it would feel to be in his position because no one can experience that unless you were in the holocaust.
Honeslty, in the second video i couldnt believe that somoene who would talk about life after the holocaust wouldnt get emotional. This video didnt affect me as much as the other one but it gave me a good overview on how it was after the holocaust.

World War 2 Begins

Friday, February 25, 2011

Well basically

I. Opening

At the beginning of the film, James Braddock is a very wealthy and successful boxer. Unfortunately after the great depression Braddock and his family are left poor and Braddock no longer being picked up for fights because of an injured hand, and is left begging for work everyday at the docks.

II. A Turn of Events

With the help of manager Joe Gould, Braddock is able to make a come back to boxing when the opponent of the number two contender in the world, Corn Griffin, suddenly drops out. To everyone’s surprise Braddock is victorious, and much to his wife’s dismay Braddock accepts Gould’s proposal to rebuild his career. James’ wife Mae, is angry at Gould for trying to profit out of James’ dangerous profession, until she find’s out that Gould and his wife have also been hurt by the depression.

III. Build Up

Braddock keeps winning fights and even uses some of the money he won to pay back the government for all of the unemployment checks he got, which impresses many people. In a newspaper James is nicknamed the “Cinderella Man” cause of the way he dances around the ring. Braddock starts to inspire people because he can relate to their struggle. In many ways he represents them. After many fights a title match comes his way, against Max Baer. Mae is terrified because Baer is known to have killed two men in the ring.

IV. The Big Fight

Many people from all around the neighborhood watched the fight rooting for Braddock, and even his children who weren’t allowed to watch it listen to it on the radio. During the fight Braddock was pummeled with a storm of punches. Much to Baer’s confusion Braddock kept coming back and slowly was able to wear down Baer. On June 13, 1935 by unanimous decision, James J. Braddock was given the Heavyweight title in what would be known as a historic match.

And the winner is..




i chose this scence from the movie because it was really emotional. When Braddock wins, his whole family is amazed and excited, and they start crying and freaking out. To me its the climax of the movie so i drew a picture of Braddocks final punch to Baer and him knocking him down and over the radios they announce Braddock the winner.

come on school board do i have to say it again..

i believe this topic is just like the one of the very firsts blogs we had to do about the government hiding things from us, but the way i worded it was "sugarcoating" this valuable information. I think high school students should be able to know this information about genocide. I dont see why the school board needs to hide it it happened and there is no erasing it. In my opinion, its pointlesss to deny this history probably because of violence and as a high school student ive been exploited to a lot of violence around the world and i think learning about the rape of nanking and the genocide in Rwanda can fit the maturity lcvel of high school students.

Trapped among the Rock.

I can see why the government would consider Alcatraz to be inescapable because it literally is a island surrounded by rock and i dont think anyone who could really try to escape, could. the information given on the website made it seem a not so scary place to be, as i discovered it was a public viewing spot where people can go for a visit. thats kindve creepy. figuratively speaking, i can see why the government would create Alcatraz to be a federal penitentiary because when you read information about the place, such as the climate, you get this dark, moody feeling that this area is not welcoming. if its very cold during the winter, i dont see why anyone would enjoy being their other than the hisory that has taken place there.

To be Guilty or Not to Be Guilty..


Was Sacco and Vanzetti really meant to be accused guilty of the murder scene they just happened to be around at the wrong place, wrong time? Maybe it was all just a set up? Do we have enough evidence to prove that this occurrence was truly possible? Colonel Chief Sergeant Billy Bob is on the case. After 5 trials and being accused guilty we have no reason to try and come forth with a reason why they were not guilty but just to over seek the evidence a little more than they did back then and uncover what evidence may lead Sacco and Vanzetti to be proven not guilty.
As Sacco was born in southern Italy and Vanzetti Northern Italy, they both migrated to the United States. They met in Boston at a meeting of Galleanist Anarchists, and then they flew to Mexico on their jaunt to avoid conscription. When they returned to the United States both men’s names are leaked from the newspapers that had information about them and then all citizens discovered that they are Italian anarchists. This was really bad. Then Sacco and Vanzetti are accused of being around the whereabouts’ where a bombing took place and Carlo Valdinoci was involved. Fortunately, Sacco and Vanzetti were not involved in this bombing.
Then a little by little, hell starts to set loose and the Justice Department start to round up anarchists and Sacco and Vanzetti consider returning to Italy, but doesn’t go as planned. Then they both discover one of their fellow anarchist buddy, Andrea Salsedo, had committed suicide out of guilt. Then both men agreed to meet up with Mario Boda and dispose of any evidence that caused the police department t consider searching for guilty evidence towards Andrea Salsedo, such as the stolen Buick that was at a crime scene. As Sacco and Vanzetti return home they are arrested around 10 pm as suspicious characters. And the police men automatically assume that Sacco was involved in the earlier mentioned bombing because of the shotgun shells located on him. They are sent to trial five times to be found guilty and guilty over again, and are eventually executed.
In my opinion, I don’t think they were the cause of the murder. There sure is not enough evidence to prove that Sacco and Vanzetti committed the crime just because of the stolen car and the shotgun shells Sacco had on him. Also, I believe they were just trying to find a way to execute them because they were anarchists and nobody wanted their children to e grown around people like them.

Prohibition: Jan. 1920; Was pushed by women's organizations because of domestic violence and child abuse. 18th Amendment prohibited manufacture & sales of "intoxicating liquor" but however, it DID NOT ban consumptions, possession, or transportation of liquors. Speakeasies,started to appear. In 1932, FDR ran for president and used repealing 18th amendment as his platform and created the 22nd amendment, which got rid of the 18th.
Flappers: Women who: had short hair, smoked, showed her gams, shoulders, and cleavage.
Economic Issues (1920s): Credit available to consumers but was dangerous & people couldn't believe it. Low interest rates meaning they were charged money to borrow money. Then "Installment Plan" was introduced where you are on a fixed "plan" of how to pay back borrowed money.

Schneck v. The United States: Espionage & Sedition Acts declared unconstitutional by Supreme Court

Evolution Vs. Religion

  In my opinion, i think its more comfortable for teachers to be teaching evolution instead of religion because our schools are so diverse nowadays meaning people come from all over the world and have different religions. therefor, it would be unfair to teach those who have a god, going aganist their views and teaching them about another God. For example, Jesus Crist and Allah are two different Gods. It is better to be taught that Evolution has created the earth and its people, eben though half the stories are myths. it fits better for the students comfort state of mind.

Applesauce! Shes a bearcat!

  As the big cheese walked through the door showing her gams she felt the heebie jeebies because their were drugstore cowboys everywhere dressed in glad rags. one of the men came up to her and asked her if she wanted to go get some giggle water, but if he was paying they would just get hooch. before she answered he noticed the handcuff on her finger and realized that she was the moll from down the street but she ended up being a gyp and went out with him anyways. just when he thought everything was berries, she ended up punching him right in the kisser.

toneTONE

I think that the tone of the American declaration of war was one of little choice. I don't think that the american government wanted to involve themselves in Europe's squabble. The only reason they did is in retaliation, and the only reason they retaliated was to please the american public. With the Germans pumped full of narcissism by Hitler I would think their response was somewhat of a taunt, like "bring it on you stupid amewicans.".  German had most of Europe so I'm sure they could care less about America involving itself.

Pain on paper!

Dear New York Times,

As most of your stuff that have been published about WikiLeaks may be causing America to burst into world chaos, I believe it is unbelievable that this Julian Assaunge is trying to be against our military when we Americans help the Australians. It’s unfair that he would leak this information about our military. I don’t think our nation should know about the things our military do when they are at war. Yes, it would be true for the people but really it’s not safe. I believe the government should shun this information for the sake of people because if they didn’t the people would no longer trust in our military and we would probably start to have to draft people because they are afraid of what will happen to them if they go to war now. It’s better because the people feel safe, and we can’t expose this information.
I don’t believe Julian Assaunge should be put into jail for exploiting this kind of information because that would be breaking the first amendment, our freedom of speech and I think its unfair to him to have people search for anything of a cause to throw him in jail. Though what he’s done was very cruel. I would like to know how he feels about our people in America. Does he not care about our safety? I wonder how he would feel if we exploited this kind of information towards Australia or another country. America is supposed to be the HERO! If this information were to be manifested throughout the United States then it should be discussed with the government not as soon as the information is leaked then we publish it into the biggest newspaper company so everyone can read them. Knowing how many people read NYTimes, there would be chaos throughout the whole United States.
Even though i have yet to become an adult, I am already speaking as mature as I possibly can and trying to convince you that this exploitation shouldn’t be published through our newspapers because who knows, it could cause another war. This type of problem leads to negative outcomes such as the people not having trust in our military, no one wants to go to the military, we all would feel unsafe if we think our military is at war and the soldiers all believe its some sort of game. How relevant that call of duty consumes every kind of child’s brain and now it’s portrayed in the videos that were leaked. Is it too late? Or are we just teaching our kids wrong by playing these games so if they do go to war this is how it would end. Maybe our soldiers are just used to this type of activity. I don’t think it should be like this. Either way it shouldn’t be published for the sake of our people. I can’t stress it enough

                                                                                          -Sincerely, Kat.

GET ON THE GROUND!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!

a. I would keep the prisoners as far away from each other as possible, so as to not give them a chance to plan an escape. Then I'd have them interrogated in order to find out where the other find out where the other bomb factory is. Also I would try to find out if they have distributed any bombs and if so, where to.
b. A short term repercussion of mistreatment is getting the information you want. A long term repercussion of mistreatment is brain damage.
