Race In the World Today

How To Tell People They Sound Racist The video titled how to tell people they sound racist shows how there is a difference between being a racist and making a racist comment. In the video by jay smooth he talks about the difference between the what they are conversation and the what they did conversation. Remembering that their is a big difference between being a racist and making a racist comment. Holding people accounable for their actions and words. The reason that i believe my assertion that being a racist and making a racist comment is different because being a racist somebody will say i don't like him or her because they are a certain color, but making a racist comment somebody will say only asians are bad drivers.Now that you see the difference between being a racist and making a racist comment what will you do about when you see someone making a racist comment? They will also understand what they did or what they said was wrong. If we all hold people accountable for their actions not their words they will be better for it.


Hiding Behind Your Emotions


Taking away someone's emotions you will also lose out in the end. In the image it leads me to understand it's meaning by the farmer planting the seeds. The tree is growing. On the tree there are ears, eyes, a heart, a brain and a mouth. The first thing that he does is he cuts out off the mouth he doesn't want the plant to talk. The plant is screaming and yelling. Then the farmer cuts off the heart, the eyes and the brain. . He just left the ears. The farmer is yelling at the plant. My interpretation of the image is that why is the farmer taking away the plants emotions if he doesn’t have them himself. It also I see when he cut of the mouth the plant is yelling and screaming. Then he cuts of the heart the plant is crying, he cuts of the brain and the eyes just left the ears. The image is important because it shows what happens when you take away some of people's senses. The image is worth knowing because people can sometimes shut down to protect their feelings and emotions.

Different Colors Living In The Same World


The image that has different colors means that we are all the same no matter what color we are Different color crayons but they all say flesh on them. Also it leads me to that example because no matter the color we are. We can come together and be friends. The image shows that there is always going to be that one person that stands out in the crowd. We can learn from them to not care about what other people think about us. The different colors surrounding the basic color says that you can stand out to but you may need a little push to help you get going. The word flesh can be that we all have different skin colors but we are all the same in one way or another. The bigger circle on the crayon can mean how racial profiling is going down in the world.My interpretation of the image is that we all have different colors but we are in the same in some sort of way. We all have been judge by our race or by the way that we look. There is always going to be that one person that stands out and not can about what other people think of them. We can stand out to if we want it. In the image there is a basic color in the middle and different colors around it. Also in the image there is a bigger circle and a smaller circle. Different color crayons in a straight line. That is what the image is saying to me. Significance: The meaning of this image is so important because it should matter what skin color you have it is about what kind of attitude that you have. The image is worth knowing because it is a message just because you have different skin color we are all the same in some way.

As Long As You Are True To Youself

Some people are willing to go the distance in order to change into someone they are not. The media is all around us telling us how we should act, dress and look and if that we don't we will be outcasts because we didn't change into what the media wanted  us to. If you change into someone you're not you are not being true to yourself. In the video by andrewhu  is about when you act and change like someone else you it will eventally lead to your self detruction. The reason that I believe my assertion because people are always changing into what the media want them to and what people expect them to. Television can affect our self-esteem because we don't look like them and then we are willing to change ourselves to fit into what society want us to be.   Now that you see how far some people are willing to go to change into someone they are not will you change into someone you are not? Or will you stay true to yourself? If we all stay true to ourselves and not change into what the media wants us to be we all have better self-esteem we will feel comfortable in our own skin

Being Without Procrastion






  The video titled the science of procrastination - and how to manage it shows people how they can help manage procrastination. In the video it talks about how people can get distracted easily while trying to study. Also it expresses what happen when somebody is procrastinating, and how it happens and finding ways to get over it. There isn't one solution to help you stop procrastining but many different ways that can help. The reasons that I believe it is hard to stop procrastination is because we get distracted easily. There are so many distractions everywhere that we can't focus on what we are doing. Call to action: Now that you see how procrastination happens and how you can manage it will it help you stop procrastining? If you like what the video has to say then maybe it will help you stop procrastining. If we all try to stop procrastining then maybe we all can get better grades in school once we all take away the things that distract us while  we are studying.
