Ism's

We have been exploring isms in class the last two weeks. We have been relating this to all types of social injustice and how it is present within our community. These have allowed us to see what it means to be discriminated against and what people really do. We have looked at organizations such as the NBA and NFL which have multiple examples of underlying discrimination along with the armed forces. These tools allow us to better understand what it means to be politically correct.

Social Justice Topic

For my social justice project I have been trying to decide which topic to choose. I would like to experience the controversy behind the topic of Abortion. I feel that abortion is a neccesary right and I am very pro abortion. Being pro abortion I would hope to explore the side that is pro choice, and pro life and broaden my horizons. This would greater expand the way I think along with how I view the topic of abortion.

Systems

So far this week we have been exploring the court system. We have not dug too deep into the convrsation or what a system really is but we have begon this discussion in order to better understand what social justice really is. Understanding the court system will also help us to truly reveal what is socially just in the world today. We began talkig about social groups such as the KKK and how their policy affects the community and how socially unjust their ideals are.

What Family is

A family to me is a unit that loves. A family is a unit that helps eachother and is not afraid to stand up for the others in their family. A family is a group that can be bound by law but at the same time they dont have to be bound together by anything except maybe the fact that they live together. When I think of family I think of people that care for and love eachother unconditionally.

The Family Concept

This week's CST was in relation with the topic of family. We were to read chapter two in our brown books which contained facts along with assumptions about families in the present day. It started out by talking about how families must be compensated for by the employer of the working guardian, he must be able to pay for his family. This topic was stressed but was not the main point. It then went on to describe the privelages familes recieve. That part turned into the definition and understanding on what it means to be a family. The reading I got said that family was a loving unit to make a long story short. My definition of family is a loving unit that does not have to be biologically bound together, but only brough together through love and support between one another.

Google presentations

Today we presented our Google programs. I am in the group for Google sites the topic I had to explain to my group. I started off by giving a handout to the group and then showed them an instructional video about how the Google sites works. As far as the Google forms will be the most helpful for me in the future. This will allow me to take this into college for a presentation. Although this could be very helpful in the college life, I feel that Google forms would be the most helpful in the work force. This could allow me to handout my possible buyers of a product that I am trying to sell.
