I agree with this. If I was too look at a history book right now Hawaii is made to look like this beautiful place. Beautiful water, nice beaches, and rich in culture when it's really not. Seeing and reading that article made me not only want to study Hawaii but made me want to learn beyond what I'm being taught.

I agree with the woman maybe if Sam would have said period or menstrual when discussing this in class. But, whether or not the name of it we all know what he is talking about.

I believe men aren't educated step by step about periods but they have some sort of brief knowledge. I would believe the reason why they don't know as much as women do is because it really doesn't effects them as an individual. They don't have to bleed so why would they have to know? Indeed this issue is jacked up. But, at the same time for an example why would you need to know about the Canadian government and you live in America? If the issue has nothing to do with you why do and would you care? In some aspect its not there fault.

That's a good question. I don't know why they don't talk about Asian American. I would say because they don't naturally have a history with America until later in our history. We don't really have enough history and knowledge about them as a culture as we do with African American and etc.

I agree that this is a race relations class but the is a social issue that should be addressed. If you were in this situation you would want someone to talk about it as well. The fact behind the video is why as a society pick and choose issue over others. Why could women feel bad of something that they have no control over. Menstruation is normal. It somewhat intertwines with race. Why should black and brown people feel bad about their race because this is also something that they have no control over? It's unfair to silence one with even boring to listen.

I agree with Sam 100%. Both society and our community has a lot to do with certain issue at which we can and can't talk about. Citizen rather talk about war, health care, and so on but not issues that individual face everyday. Why is it when we hear about a woman menstruating we get uncomfortable? But when someone bring up sex everyone gets excited and cheer? Women are silence because they are afraid and uncomfortable about talking about it because no one wants to hear it. So what other choice do they have in this matter.

After watching this video almost made me upset because this goes on in my own community. This happens too often and I believe the issue can't be resolved. We a a society come up with these stupid ideal of what is beauty. Instead of looking at the inside with only look at the physical. Dark skin girls are often teased and call all type of disrespectful names because of there skin. In elementary and early middle school, I had to deal with these types issues. I was considered to be one of those children that had to deal with the none stop ignorance kids threw at my way because of my skin. They would call me tar baby, charcoal, black ass and so one. I didn't have a issue with my hair but these sorts of issues still exists today and its sad.

On the other hand, the section where the children had to choose the good and bad doll, it nearly brought me to tears. The idea that these children were so young and already were influence by the media was heart breaking. The fact that someone so innocent could say whether someone was good and bad based on the color of there skin spoke to me. I believe most of the media such as cartoons, toys, and etc can be blamed for this problem. When you look in the toy section of any toy store whether "Toy R Us" or "KB Toys" you see more whites dolls than black and brown one's. The white dolls usually are the beautiful princess, nice hair, looks of accessories and all. While the black and brown dolls are nearly hard to fine and hair looks very rough ad hard to manage. So looking from the child's point of view why wouldn't you want the princess "the good dolls".

Another part of the video made me upset is when the narrator asked which doll looked like her. The black young girl hesitated for a minute. It was as if she was both confused and ashamed of what color she was.

School is supposed to be a safe environment. It should be a place where anything and anyone can feel accepted and worthy. What does someone's sexual orientation have to do with there ability to learn or even tell about that particular individual. Your prom is a time where you should spend it the way you want it. For someone to deprive another person of there own self fulfillment is a problem. Leave people the hell alone. If you have a problem with then that's fine but don't personally attack others or make them feel small people they live a certain way that you disapprove.

The fact of them matter is that there are still forms of inequality around the work field. The fact that there aren't many women football coaches isn't just by chance. It's happening as a result of a male dominate society. Women aren't considered to be good at sports. Stereotypes all across the board show and express this idea. Even with laws such as Equal Opportunity Act and etc still to this day, women aren't giving the same opportunities as men.

I agree with this opinion. It seemed as if race played no factor in the responses. Both groups of people showed their levels if maturity and it was truly unacceptable. We as a class laughed thinking nothing of it but the stereotypes that were brought to my attention show how society still encourages ignorance. In this case rudeness does cut both ways.
