Anita Hill is a BOY

Anita Hill is a boy

I loved this article. Once i started reading this article i could not put it down. This was extremely interesting becuase it allowed the mind frame of boys to think and act as women. This is a male prodiminate world where men have all the power. The idea that orenstein allows us as readers to experience the world as a prodiminately women power world really allowed me to think. THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE NICE....... As a teacher i beleieve Ms. Logan's way of decorating her room full of women instead of male was a difference in reality. I believe that she did this because there is so much emphasis on the idea of how a gender plays a major role in society. In my socialogy class i learned so much about how the world treat women and how is praises men. The qoute that stood out and i believe that all teachers should have this qoute somewhere within their classroom. "Women are one-half of the world's people; they do two-thirds of the world's work; they earn one-tenth of the world's income; they oew one one-hundreth of the world's property." Ms. Logan's classroom is design to allow the women to be the center of the attention while the men are standing on the outside looking in. This forces women to believe they can do anything that they want. They do not have to limit theirselves just because they are born as a female. Ms. Logan wants to encourage her students that even though society potrays female to be one way is not the only way we are.
Her project was a massive shock to me bevuase i did not know that teachers could do that but more immportantly i did not know that the outcome will turn out the way it did. It is important because a female can always play the rtole of a female and male but when the table turn and a male has to become a female, it is ectremely hard for them to do. Reason for that is because why does a male have to become a female when he is already in the position of power, but for him to become a female is an slap in his face. ALL REALITY WOMEN HELP CREATE THE WORLD AND MAKE IT WHAT IT IS TODAY

River cross

ok i do not understand why my other piece did not post of so i am going to rewrite it... it might not be as good as my first one..... But i honestly like this piece i felt as though it was a little long and just because off my backround i have a very good understanding on the idea of brown vs board of education and when i was reading this i wanted to learn more... This is a very political view of this topic and i believe that, with the view being as political as it was, i was able to grasp a better understanding of this from a different view point. I do not believe there is a SPECIFIC arguement that the author was trying to convey to his readers but i did grasp the arguement that alot of thing that are sepereate ARE not equal and vice verser..... When many people hear the term Brown vs. Board of education many thoughts such as Martin or the civil rights or rosa parks but there is more to Brown vs board than that. This article is very good because there is both the good and the bads but what i was able to receive out of this is, you have to understand both sides before you can take a SPECIFIC STAND

in the service of what

Very good article, it was an article in which it oeft you always wondering what if.... they state that service learning could be for a charity of change. I was able to distinguish between both charity and change. Service Learning as a charity is more so leaning towards the giving of the community they was the word "intermediate" "giving" people may think charity as bad but it could be good as much as it could be bad. The other side was change. I see where Service Learning can be change becuase change is always welcomed and something that could better this idea..... I think of charity and change in a way such as this when they had the campaign for the presidential campaign vote or die.... Diddy was promoting change for having a black president but then again he was going out to different states and doing different activities so that many people exspecially young minorities could become more active in voting.

I WAS SO CONFUSED

OK I DID NOT LIKE THIS READING AT ALL MAYBE BECUASE IT WAS OVER SPRING BREAK OR IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT..... LIKE I UNDERSTAND THE IDEA OF CHARITY AND CHANGE BUT I DONT EXACTLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WAS TRYING TO CONVEY TO THEIR AUDIENCE. tHE IDEA THAT CHARITY AND CHANGE AS FAR AS THE VOTE OR DIE CAMPAIGN THAT WAS PROMOTED BY SEAN "DIDDY." AS FAR THE CHANGE GOES WAS FOR A FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE CHARITY THE IDEA OF HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT WAS SPENT INTO MAKING SURE EACH STATE IN THE COUNTRY UNDERSTOOD HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS FOR PEOPLE TO VOTE..... CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT.................................

She is so right

Christensen argues that the media television shows help shape and form the typical sterotype or race power among our young childern...

I agree with every little word that she says within this piece becuase , everywhere on television is a typical sterotype. In movies black people are always servants off white rich people.. I agree that this is shaping the mind frame of our younger childern because they are watching these movies and they are showing the power that different classes have.

"we are discovering the tools with which a young society is manipulated" and these tools consist of the movies and all the media that the young people are watching.

"Noone wants to admit that they've been "handled" by the media" because the fact that many people belive anything and everything that the media potrays as to be right and people allow themselves to fall into what the media has to say
