HW
Based on the story that we read today - pg 189-191 - please post on this blog or write in your notebook, an entry on the topic of...
Do you believe something terrible could happen in the United States today because of this idea of going along and failing to act as an Upstander? It doesn't have to be as horrific as the Holocaust.
If yes, why? Don't we have protections against something like that?
If no, why do you feel like we are different from the society the professor described in the story? Don't we still have hate crimes and utter poverty?
The question is...is 21st century America immune from the power of the group and going along with the crowd to extremes?

Tuesday was Test Day
Hopefully you were not too stressed out.
I appreciate the fact that some of you expressed your appreciation for the first couple weeks of this class. However, just as some of us love discussing our feelings and reactions, some us need other ways to show that they are focusing and learning from class. I will continue to try to give you unique ways to show me what you are learning, but tests are a part of it.
My hope was that this test was not too difficult if you were focused in class everyday.
No Homework
Please let me know if you would like to do the little mini-presentation on the history of the Jewish people that leads us to the rise of the Nazis.

Friday 2/4/11 Enjoy Your Weekend
Thank you for great classes today. I know that I enjoyed participating in what we did today, and hopefully you did as well. If you want to go back and look at the silent online conversations, go ahead. Period 2 - the other classes did the same thing as you, but instead of paper, we used the blog.
If you have any comments on you experience in class today or this week, please post them as comments to this blog entry, so that your classmates know they are here.
Have a great weekend!!
Here's the poem from class today:
If you have any comments on you experience in class today or this week, please post them as comments to this blog entry, so that your classmates know they are here.
Have a great weekend!!
Here's the poem from class today:
Period 9 #3
In terms of racism, our country is better off than it was in the 1800’s, the 1930’s and the 1960’s, so that’s good enough with me. We don’t have to focus on it anymore.
Period 9 #2
“Other minorities” (Hispanics, Blacks, Asians) have their own “privileges” so it’s pointless for Whites to think about and call to mind White Privilege. Whites are at as much of a disadvantage of anybody else.
Period 9 #1
I am ok, and I just accept the “sampling error” that Tim Wise speaks about. Even though far more terrorists in this country are white, we let 19 Arab men stand for the entire 700 million Arab population or the 1.5 BILLION Muslim population.
