Defend Life

I believe that not only here in Massachusetts but all states and country's that abortion is a big problem.. and i don't agree with it. I think its immoral and not gods intention to let such become about, children are the future! Even special circumstances of getting pregnant; unwillingly i think adoption should be considered....Also privacy issues, concern me greatly. I'am aware that the government with "good reason can put a GPS on your car tap your phone lines ect... There was discussions on it for past sex offenders and other imprisoned people. This is good to a certain extent, but a scary thought. Really think about it if the government is able to do that with out the person knowing, its just a matter of time before they do it to all U.S. Citizens your const-inly under surveillance. I also heard that there will be GPS put into new licenses and identification. These are some thing i'd like to further study, its something on both issues i believe is worth fighting for, however i don't exactly know how to change such and go against such a wide verity of people and perspectives but i wanna try! I know I'm not the only one who feels this way about abortion and privacy.

Reaching For Equality

The cruelty that was has been put toward one another throughout time is a shameful thing to look back on. We all look back to the days of African American slavery and are ashamed of our ancestors to be so cruel. Two pieces that reflect upon a time of despair and a hope to emerge from the darkness are, "New Song" and "I Too, Sing America" by Langston Hughes. These reflections were written in 1938 and 1925. Around this time there was a collection of African-American writers and artist that used their art to share their soul. Langston Hughes was also a part of the Harlem renaissance which was a large movement in the times of the 1920-1930's. The point of these pieces due to the time in history, was to share the feelings and messages of the soul. Not understanding the pain and suffering was a large flaw with the white community, but through these collections of writings we are still to this day able to picture what these people have went through. Personally i believe these poems have accomplished their purpose through sharing the knowledge of the times with those who read it. Without sharing the stories and emotions these problems can be overlooked through selfishness, but through sharing of emotion these problems become better known. Everyday these problems of inequality come into affect because truthfully, are we all free? Freedom is what society makes it, And as society changes its views and expectations freedom changes. This aspect matters nowadays to show that there has been worse problems and the future, not only can we use this as a reflection of our past problems but we can use this as an example to solve and eliminate problems before they start. My purpose in reading these poems is the language and connection that i can connect with. As i scanned through each line i can almost picture and feel the emotion of the writer as i read. Factors i took into consideration when choosing these pieces was, which one will i connect the most with, through poetry i believe i can connect more to the soul. This choice and process has related to my personal discovery of learning through rereading the pieces and making a connection with the writer on a level of understanding.

Responding to absence of Ameicanism

-If it is you agree with the building of the mosque, i must say i completely disagree. The quote that has been stated by Michael Moore is not only an insult to this country's pride, but it is in full neglect of remembrance. That being that America is a country of pride, why is it people come to this country and try to sculpt it into what they want it to be? As an American, being born here my ancestors have died for this country. I think it is disgraceful to be spit on as a country through such action, we must remember where we started before we know where were going. I understand that it was an ignorant few that caused such disaster but i think it is asking a bit much after looking at our scars.

The womans movements

The image of society

The way kids should be

  

 It seems to be that the view of society comes into play once we are born, through our parental guidance, and through what is expected as a female. It is almost like the stages of life have turned into a ritual. A particular document from the Womens Liberation Movement, "Barbarous Rituals: 84 ways to feminize humans" by Anonymous, shares these stages of life that have become ritual. The point of this document is to specify these detailed everyday acts that are overlooked. Being born as the sex that you are, and having to live up to society's expectations on how a female should act, and what a female should look like. I do not think society understands the pressure put upon young woman to maintain a certain image through there adolescence. A certain issue that was listed in the document that had really touched me was when it said,"---feeling basically comfortable in your own body, but gradually learning to hate it because you are: too short or tall, too fat or thin, thick-thighed or big-wristed, large-eared or stringy-haired, short-necked or long-armed, bowlegged, knock-kneed, or pigeon-toed--something that might make boys not like you." I remember being perfectly comfortable, in my own body, and feeling beautiful when i looked in the mirror,however that soon changed when i entered middle school. My biggest insecurity was my height. i knew i was short but it wasn't something that concerned me until i had to here it from third party perspective. I feel as though these small aspects of life are not considered throughout life. Why is it from the start we are given these puzzle pieces instead of seeking our own puzzle pieces? We are told that we are all unique yet we are striped of this ability due to woman constantly being objectified through television, magazines etc...,and its a pretty hard and immoral standard to live up to. As i read through this document it was a reflection of my own life through realizing that all these aspects are put upon females without truly knowing the affects. 

However even though these are unfair circumstances, it is up to us as individuals to sculpt our own image and be happy with who we are. Everybody is truly unique as far as looks and how they choose to do things. In the end we are only a well set group of molecules.If you think about it out of the 6 billion people in the world there is only ONE you! , and thats pretty damn special.

We are one!!

Muslim Point of View

As we watch the news we see the rising conflict between the building of a mosque near the world trade center. On top of that we see a Florida pastor threatening to burn the Koran, which is the biblical book of the Muslim religion. Through all this we look at this conflict and automatically take the side of the American who chose to take action. What he thinks is righteous is only causing pain that most of us are unaware of. Is it truly righteous to take such action, through the same grudge that has been held since 9/11? When such a topic was brought up we as citizens of this country looked directly to our commander for answers. But the fathers of our country have already locked in such a law that can truly not be overpassed. So What can we do? All we can do is understand that we are all one regardless of religion.We must not be barbaric like our long lost ancestry. Truly if we looked upon this happening in both perspectives we could come to an agreement. For we are unaware of the hurt we cause another countries faith and pride.

American Point of view
On the other hand now that we had taken their side into consideration, we can look at the perspective of those who have been affected through devastation caused by the actions of the Muslim people. It is the Muslim way of understanding God that makes them treacherous toward Americans. Through the destruction they have caused our country by bombing our world trade center, and purposely killing thousands what reason do we have to respect them. Where is the heart when it comes to murder of ones self and others?
It is said that these suicide bombers believe that these acts are righteous, toward their path into heaven. But how could such act be righteous when it is nothing but purely evil? You cannot prevent evil by doing evil, which god would want such. Such hatred they have against Americans but for what reason? If religion is truly a reason for this hatred, then they are a half a world away why not let it be.The deceit and dedications to such doings are preposterous.After letting them come to our country to better their lives, and to bluntly deceive all, how do they expect to ask for such as a mosque anywhere near ground zero.We owe them nothing! Rather yet they should be patient with us Americas and stop overstaying there welcome.We can pity or be pitied, but in the end there is only one truth. That truth being that righteous acts will always prevail in the end.

Remembering our allegiance

Being born as an American i was not aware of the secretive actions taken by the commander of this country.
My name is Ms. Tee, i am a truth seeking being who only accepts that which is fair to life. As i remember in grade school it was honorable to pledge allegiance to our flag. This was our pride toward our freedom, and our image as The United States. Although there have been numerous changes to our country's image, due to conflicting religious views and what is righteous. As citizens we must not forget our pasts when we are moving so quickly into the future. It is only through our acknowledgements and awareness that we have the strength to make a change.
