Things I have learned from this semester

Being that this is my second term taking the class. I notice that the class was very similar however the opinion of the people in the class are different. Everyone has there own idea of one subject. One thing that I did learn though was about politics and the way they are treated.Mainly because of the politician race that is taking place now. I notice the different ways that the media treats each politician, which i believe and they may argue, is based on race and sex. I am also currently realizing the way America determines feminism and masculinity. This could mean very different things to you, but to me it seems as we are putting the male ahead and making them more dominant to women.

Back to Inner City Kids

This morning on the Regis and Kelly show, Howie Mandell who is the host of deal or no deal was filling in for Regis. So in the begininng he was telling a story about his kids, and he said something that had me thinking. His daughter who is a teacher to 1st graders and starts her days with the kids by having them finish sentences that she starts. So one sentence she starts is "better late than...". The kids say "pregnant". So of course the audience in the show laughs hysterically, and good ole Howie says "those inner city kids, they would know". Now what would make him make that assumption that first grade inner city kids know about pregnancy?

SCHOOL IS A BATTLEFIELD FOR YOU HEART: I THINK THIS MEANS THAT SCHOOL IS WHERE YOUR HEART FIGHTS THE MOST BATTLES. ONE BECAUSE SCHOOL IS WHERE YOU SPENSD MOST OF YOUR DAY AND MOST OF YOUR YEARS AT. TWO BECAUSE SCHOOL IS ALSO WHERE THE MOST DRAMA OCCURS ALSO LIKE ACTION ON A BATTLEFIELD.
