Hello

The movie really made me happy that we have people who are willing to put their time, money, and kindness to help other people from a different country or culture. This movie showed a lot of heart that people even have for U.S.A. Those boys that came over where down right psyched to come and live in the US of A.

I do not quite understand the article I received in the email. It was all very confusing to me.

I am fine with people coming and going for travel and living in different countries to live. I am not really fine with the fact of everyone (doesn't matter who they are) transferring Stds or other health related problems around.

The work problem makes sense because some countries don't have as many opportunities at jobs then some other countries. The economy, I feel like countries economy are being split up or affected by migration. The health is one subject I feel like is being affected the most because of migration. Living situations were affected at one point when race had their own certain places they could be. I don't feel like war is affected at all, because when other people travel to another country there isn't war or conflict just starting because of that.

I Hate Snow

It is snowing our right now and I am not liking it. Hi Matt.

First of all, Thank you Matt for being a speaker. You showing up and talking to the class really got me thinking about a lot of things. Thank you.

The show Handi-Man kind of bugged me not going to lie. It did in fact show how mean some people can be example: When that guy in the clip was tripping handicapped people. It got to me a little bit.

To be completely honest, I think everyone has a disability or handicap of some sort. I sort of know how it is. I am dyslexic, which makes me almost have to work just as hard just to get the concept of some things. I had to relearn how to walk when I was seven years old, because of surgery. I just over came that one, but haven't fully overcame dyslexia.

The beauty people seek is not the beauty that shows. Would you rather have someone that isn't interesting at all, not nice to talk to, and self centered, or someone who is the nicest person, most interesting person you could talk for hours, and cares about others?

I feel like most people just make fun of disabled or handicapped people, because they don't know how to approach the people. They feel like they are going to say something wrong and look like a jerk.

Be yourself.

Treat everyone like you would like to be treated. Oldest saying ever preached, but the best saying in the world.

Sexual Orientation

When it comes to Don't Ask Don't Tell for the military. I think this is a joke. You shouldn't have to hide if your are homosexual or bisexual. The government shouldn't have to worry about this. It's not like they are hurting anyone we are all equals and everyone should be treated as equals and not pointed out.

I do not really understand how Lesbians say they aren't gay. My definition of homosexual is same sex, where one sex is attracted to the same sex person(s). I might not be right on my definition or something is wrong. I am just baffled by what they mean they aren't gay.

This is has been going on for years when people get fired or aren't hired for a job when the employer hears the person they are hiring or firing is homosexual or bisexual. This is down right outrageous. First off people wouldn't hire people of different races now its they won't hire people because of their sexual orientation? What is this world coming too? When will everyone just figure out everyone is equal in the community?

In Islam the women praise the men. I don't believe in this, but Islamic is my religion. They have been doing this for thousands of years and I fee like we are starting to get a culture change out of the me especially when they visit the US. It is a little ridiculous when they give a bunch of privileges to the men and not women. No showing affection or dating is kind of scary because if you do it you could almost be killed.

Truthfully, I don't believe in men's privileges. I've been preaching almost this whole blog how I think everyone has equal rights and I believe in that.

The movie Middle Sexes really made me think about what Ed was talking about. I believe everyone should do what they want to do. No one should be able to hurt you at all because they don't understand. Most people make fun of other people for these reasons because they don't understand. I am going to be completely honest. I have never really heard of this until now and it scares me. I understand it happens, but it seems like it tears families apart. If i were ever to settle down and have a family, I would pray day and night for my kid never to turn out like that. It might be terrible of me to think that way and I am sorry, but it scares me.

Speaker

Ed, the speaker last week really got to me. Ed seems like a really cool person. When he told us about his condition I was wondering what it was. Ed is a very brave and courageous person to share his condition with others.

Meeting Ed in class really made me think in the inside never to judge anyone different, because how would you like it if someone picked on you. Ed was an outstanding person to meet last week. I am still not totally aware what he all has or what was said, but still opened up my eyes to his condition.

I am very proud of Ed. He is a trans-gender person working towards his goal of being a lawyer. Sort of sad that his parents didn't fully understand right away and were pushing him towards being a girl, but Ed said this is what he is going to do and worked towards that. I respect this guy totally and everything he does. I wish all luck towards his surgery.
