Human Life

It has been a while since I have written anything because, well, there wasn’t much I’ve had to say. Or, maybe it was there was simply too much to say. In any case, the current conversation has put me past my limit.

You can’t have it both ways. Continue reading “THTO…Human Life”

THTO…Minority In A Box

Minority In A Box

        I have not been writing as much since school is in session, but this post is the result of some things that have been said in different classes I am currently taking. In diversity, one of the key points is how minorities are unable to be properly represented because of their lack of numbers. As a result, changes can be made that affect them without them being able to do anything about it. One the other hand, I have heard in my law class that some minority groups’ perspective do not reflect the majority and should not have an effect on citizens’ lives, i.e. the Tea Party.

Equality in College Admissions

    There are many people who have played an important role in the journey to equality for all.

Whenever election season begins people become frustrated with “all the politics”. Considering we are at the peak of this election season that frustration is at an all-time high for people. I have been hearing “all the politics” too; the debates, comments, and grumblings. I have not really forced my political views on people I know, not because I don’t care about politics because I do, but because I have never really cared for the outcome as much as I do today. I want my peers and friends to understand what politics means. It is not some dirty word to bring a bad taste in your mouth, it’s not fighting, or even synonymous with lying. It is the change in our lives, and let me explain how.
