Identity, racism, stereotypes, and prejudice

Posted on

What did you learn about identity, stereotypes, prejudice, and racism?

I learned that, a lot of the times, people are judged by their identity and race and when people judge other people they connect them back to stereotypes or prejudice. I also learned that they all kind of link back to each other and how one affects another.

 

In what ways did your ideas change from the initial lesson when we created word webs on the white boards?

I think that I have learned a lot more since the beginning because in the beginning, we had the basic ideas about each one, and later on we learned more about what the meaning of each was and to think deeper into the meaning of the word and how they link back together and how they affect each other.

 

How does race shape the way we see ourselves and others?

Race shape the way we see ourselves and others because people could think that since people look different they could think that there could be a better race just because they look different or what traits they have. It also shapes us because you could have grown up in believing something about another race because your family believes that or something could have happened to make you think that way.

 

To what extent do our ideas about race influence the choices we make?

I think that the ideas about different races influence the choices we make because people could have false assumptions about a race that is bad or that is rude, since people think that they tend to stay away from that race. It also influences the choices we make because you could think that your race is more superior than another’s so you make them fell inferior by making fun of them or disrespecting them.

The Outsiders

Chapter 3

Are the Socs and Greasers really that different? Why? Why not?

I think that they are not all that different because they are both similar because the only thing that makes them kind of different is the clothes they wear like the madras that the Socs wear and the greased back hair that the Greasers have. Another difference is the feelings they feel, because Socs don’t mean half of the thing that they are meaning to say and Greasers feel too much, other than that there is not much of a difference between Socs and Greasers.

 

Are there any connections you can make to any of their characters and/or their situations?

I think that I can kind of connect with Johnny because when he said that his parents beat him up and get mad at him, my parent also get really mad at me at times and pretend that I’m not there, but my parents don’t beat me up or at all, it’s just that sometimes they are either so mad that they pretend that I’m not there or that they are really busy.

Government Unit Reflection

Posted on

During the government unit I think that I did fine because in the first part of the unit I did well but in the second part of the unit I didn’t do very well on the tests. I think that next time I would take more notes and I would study earlier to make sure that I am prepared for the test and to ask questions if I don’t understand something.  The study strategies that have worked for me are taking notes and reviewing them and making sure to review the notes before the test so that I wouldn’t forget anything. The study strategies that did not work for me are studying a lot at a time instead of studying a little every night. Next time for a test I will take notes and study a little every night and review my notes before the test.

Abstract Summative

For these photos I used different compositions. For the first one it was pattern because the leaf has a pattern. For the second one there is an angle to the picture but it is also a portrait because there is a person and you can their face. For the third one it was also a portrait because it is also another picture of a person’s face and it is front on. I think that the mood that I’m trying to convey for the first one is probably calmness because the leaf can symbolize peace and calm. For the other two pictures I think that the mood is happiness because as you can see the person in the photograph is smiling bringing a happy mood. I think that the three most important elements in creating a abstract photo is the angle the placement of objects and lighting. I think that the angle is important because in some angles can seem more abstract than other angles. I think that the placement of objects because that also effects how abstract you want the picture to be because you can make it more or less abstract. Last I think that the lighting because the lighting controls what you can and cannot see in the pictures, it can also make one part of the picture the main part if it is lighter for example.

This is the first photo taken ever. This photo was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (a French inventor) out of the window from Le Gras in France in 1826.

Summative Task Portraits

IMG_8852   IMG_8831   FullSizeRender

In these portraits there are many compositional rules that apply but one of the most common one is the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds come in these pictures because on the first photo the person is in the middle and the tree is on the left line of the rule of thirds grid. In the middle the person is in the center of the photograph. On the right the main focus is in the middle and the right part of the photograph. I think that the three most important elements in a photograph are lighting, placement of the objects and proportions of frame. I think that lighting is important because the lighting controls how much you are allowing the viewer to see and what they can’t. I think that placement of objects are important because depending on where you place you object(s) in the photograph, you can tell which is the main part of the photo or just the background of the photo. Last, I think that proportions of frame is important because again you are controlling what the viewer can see and cannot see.

This picture had been taken by Steve McCurry who is a journalist. He took this picture of an Afghanistan girl in a concentration camp is Afghanistan. In December 1984, Afghanistan was five years into a bloody civil war between the Soviet Union, which sought to maintain a Marxist government there, and anti-government Islamic rebels called mujahideen. He was touring a refugee camp in Afghanistan and he saw this 12-year old girl and took a picture.
