LGBQ Community: Video Analysis
The video showed how it was like for the LGBQ community to openly come out and express who they are as a person and that their life is not something that it can't be control by somebody else. This video showed me how parents, friends, and family would reject their kids and friends if they are part of the LGBQ community, but it showed how determination and understanding can create a better understanding of a person. Watching this video it showed me the harsh reality of what the people from the LGBQ community deal with. However, it let me know that many people can understand each other and accept the person as who they

    More Than Bows and Arrows

    Overall, I found this film very surprising. I never realized how many Native American achievements that have been overlooked in today’s society. Native Americans have done so much to affect the formation of today’s country that it is astonishing. They have made so many contributions that I had never realized prior to this film. I thought that some of the most important contributions were irrigation techniques and medical procedures. Religion also played a vital role in shaping America today. Native Americans literally were involved in the development of nearly all aspects of America including sports and food. This film is an important one because it shines light on the long forgotten Native Americans. They made contributions in architecture, fishing, schools, industry materials, and government to name a few. I enjoyed the film because it is a celebration of Native Americans cultural contributions. I never realized how much has been overlooked. The film is also effective in disproving countless stereotypes that depict the typical Native American as some sort of savage warrior who is illiterate and misinformed. This could not be more far from the truth and must be corrected. Most of these stereotypes have been shaped by Hollywood television. It’s important to eliminate these stereotypes of Native Americans. Today, I believe that when most people think of an Indian they think of a crazy half naked man screaming through the forest with bows and arrows. This is contrary to the truth that many Indian societies were incredibly civilized and organized. This occurred in many different ways many of which have been incorporated into American life today. In the end, this film was very effective in shining light upon the issue. I think it’s great that this video has become so widespread and I hope that this trend will continue. That way, more people can understand the issue at hand. I cannot believe that some individuals can be so naïve and that…

    Diversity Conversations Summary

    The video was very insightful with information that pertained to race. Even though the title of the video included the word diversity I was not expecting it to be based solely on race. I did believe that the way they explained race is very important the conversation between the two women weren’t awkward when they spoke about race, which is known to be a delicate topic. I did like that both of the women…

    Edward Lee's Speech: Employ, Empower Black America

    He brought up the many accomplishments of African-Americans in the United States. He spent a lot of time referencing President Barrack Obama and the recent election. Personal involvement and interest was certainly indicated by the speaker by bringing up relevant past experiences throughout the entire lecture. His sentences were clear but if he felt as though they were not, Lee would go back and explain what he meant. His diction also expressed passion and seriousness because he occasionally used…

    761st Thesis

    The video we watch regarding the veterans from 761st really sparks a lot of questions within me. I never quite understood why African Americans fought to defend a country that was not their native land. Nor could I figure out why they would want to defend the same people who enslaved them and ignored them even after they helped them win the war. However the video was really insightful because it allowed me to see that we truly are the reason America is so great and without us it would have crumpled. This video shows that if we wanted to make this black america because we have put more into this society than the white man ever could. It was very sad to see that even though those African American males were the reason they won the battle, they still did not get credit until years later.…

    Negro/Nigga Interview Analysis

    The interview by Dr. Veronique Thompson really moved and touched me. She really hit home and it was very informative about the African American community. There are a lot of truth and reality that she spoke during the interview. For example, when she touched on the names that we were once given as a race: Negro, colored, Black and African American. However, my mother never allowed us to use the word nigga, she always told us that the word came from a white group stemming from prejudice. She also informed us that the word negro/nigga caused a lot of pain and hurt to our ancestors because many of our ancestors, were killed, beaten and lynched. In addition to that, I never heard my father say the word Negro/Nigga, the only word he uses is Black…

    Forgotten Genius Analysis

    When my friend stated that her major is biology and that she wanted to become a part of the medical field the doctor responded, “Hhmm, it’s a different world these days.” The doctor’s shady statement stuck out to me because it just goes to show the mindset that some people still have towards blacks in terms of their desire to want to do great things in life. Watching and noting Julian’s success reminded me that there will always be someone who will tell you or think that you are incapable of doing…

    The Movie 13th Essay

    I thought the film was very thought-provoking and had strong concepts. Whoever named the movie 13th deserves a raise because that is the best title ever imagined. During the movie they follow the timeline of events in history starting in the slave era. They mention how white people intentionally used their rhetoric in literature to turn communities against black people. Whites made them out to look like rapists and a threat to white women. The film Birth of a Nation strengthened this ideology by making the blacks look like cannibals and mongrels. The documentary went on to talk about Jim Crow laws and the KKK. One quote that really stuck out to me was by the beloved MLK Jr, “justice too long delayed is justice denied.” I believe this really sums up the entire movement and is even still apparent today.…

    A Time for Justice Response

    I learned many new things from this video. I learned that many people died in the black’s non-violent revolution for freedom and rights. I also learned that most African Americans were paid an average of only about $700. African Americans were denied education at all white schools, and were only allowed a less than average education at black schools. Under the Supreme Court ruling in Brown vs. Board of Education, a number of African American Honors students integrated Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Every day they had to endure abuse from a huge angry mob that protested integration and wanted segregation. I feel that I would not have been able to put up with all that abuse. Those nine students that integrated Central High had great determination and never gave up hope. I also learned that it was a very long and hard struggle for all blacks during the Civil Rights Movement. The KKK terrorized blacks and killed them. Many African Americans were killed before they won the rights that they deserve. I was very proud of all the African Americans that participated in things like the Montgomery bus boycott because it showed that they weren’t afraid of standing up for themselves. I felt joyful that they always had the courage to stay non-violent, because if they turned to violence, the situation would not have turned out the same way. Now I will do anything that I can to eliminate discrimination of anyone because it is a very serious and destructive…

    Take Back The Schools Analysis

    The effect that was made in the students facing these problems in their schools was very terrifying, some of them were in a point of being embarrassed of their heritage. They were embarrassed of being Mexican Americans, and this was something that had to be changed. The rise up of the Chicano students to demand their district officials for equal education rights in their school, was a movement that made the Chicano voice strong not only at East LA but all over the country. This is one point everyone should be able to understand, the video gives us the struggles Mexican Americans were facing at the time, and how they became together to overcome this issue is an example of unity something that we need to do now a days to become stronger and make our voices heard as a…

    Final Reflection: Immigrant Students

    Before this class I had never delved into this topic and certainly never in a classroom setting. I think the rawness of the documentary was definitely important because it left almost no room for questions. I think as society we have been able to learn to accept the LGB part of LBTQ pretty well but fail to understand and show a willingness to educate ourselves in the TQ part. We still perceive those last two as taboo and as willingness dwindles our minds suffer. As teachers we will encounter students that will fit all of those categories and like the other terms in this list we have an obligation to be educated in these terms. One of my interviewees for the video project said “if you are not going to make an effort to understand the current state of our world today you should not be a teacher” and I apply that quote to these terms as well.…

    The LBGQT Community

    The society is constantly changing; it makes progress, develops in some areas, and in some instances even moves backwards. Regardless of the constant fluctuating in society, some aspects remain the same. If you stray away from the norms of society you tend to be faced with challenges that you otherwise might not be faced with. With this in mind, the topic I would like to focus on is: How does being a part of the LBGQT community impact your everyday life. LBGQT is an initialism that represents lesbian, bisexual, gay, queer, and transgender.…

    Through Deaf Eyes

    I think that another big part of the movie, for me, was when the students from Gallaudet University protested against their new president because she wasn’t deaf. Again, this is not something that I had never thought about before. It was big when Obama first became president that was a big turning point for America and also very moving. I know it was more important to the African American community because of their history and how crazy that was for them! Now, I know I can’t relate to the deaf community but I do understand that as an all-deaf university there should be an all-deaf staff, including the president. For those students to fight that hard and win just goes to show how dedicated they are in preserving their community and not afraid to fight for what they believe in and what is right. I really like how proud and powerful the deaf community is when it comes to standing up for themselves and others.…
