Do i necessarily agree with everything the man has to say? No. Am I able to understand his general stance and main points? Yes. His view of the education system is clearly up for debate, and I agree with parts, but disagree with other areas that he mentions. I feel like when he mentioned that there are some teachers that stimulate thought and get away with it, this is where Sam may have gotten his inspiration from. Putting all of the political jargon aside, his rationale makes sense. It's only a matter of listening to what he's saying from an unbiased perspective as a normal student in college. A lot of his ideas depend on one's level of individual conformity and comprehension in the classroom. I agree that in school, it's a matter of learning how to conform in order to progress through the school years. And those who disagree with the conformity end up being "behavior problems." And it does make sense to me that at the elite universities there is more obedience and conformity because some of these people at these prestigious schools are there because of how they did the "stupid assignments" and followed a specific route that hasn't changed much. I mainly disagree with Noam, in the area that schools help you learn stupidity. Obviously not everyone in the classroom has the same motives and intentions, either to be obedient or to follow a predetermined path, meaning some will not care, some will follow suit or some will begin to question things and think more outside the box of what's acceptable. I am unsure of his link between obedience and free thinking or exploration. I agree that being completely obedient prevents being free thinking but to me this does not make much sense holistically. In school, either high school or here at Penn State, I have been obedient to professors but I've also challenged normal thought. I've questioned material, teaching practices and other classroom behaviors. And I feel like the typical college student would act in a similar manner to me. I give Noam credit because he is an intelligent man, challenging controversial mainstream issues. Authority, obedience and free thinking can exist in one arena, think about Penn State or any High School. The pure forms of authority and obedience are evident in the lower ranks of schooling, and free thinking is more prevalent in higher education and graduate school programs where you are able to explore new research and topics. A good example of this is how I have to follow strict guidelines when writing my honors thesis, but the actual content of the thesis is up to my exploration and my liking because it's an addition to knowledge.

Obviously it would depend on how that loved one was killed, and by whom. I do not think I would go as far as sacrificing myself to a suicide bombing, but I would risk inevitable jail time or the death sentence. I would not feel comfortable killing others who weren't behind the death of a loved one, which is why I would take personal revenge to the one or few people that were responsible.

The fact that as Muslim Arabs, we were forced to think differently or out of our normal capacity. As Muslim Arabs, we saw our "American or Christian" thoughts and actions portrayed in an entirely different manner. Some things do get lost in translation, or in this case, across religious views. It all boils down to ignorance of other's religions and greed. The USA clearly wants oil, and when discussing these motives, they use wrong words to describe their actions which is why the Muslim Arabs see the Americans in a negative manner.

Understanding is important in this situation because many people don't think much about why one price is so much cheaper compared to another. The second step doesn't necessarily have to be a boycott or an outlaw style action step. It could be geared towards spreading awareness to chocolate companies and maybe thinking of ideas to avoid or prevent slave made products from entering our markets. But in this step, one also needs to understand capitalism and how a low price normally beats out moral values in most situations as this was also mentioned in our class discussion. This blog post and the article in the New York Times do wonders in explaining why China is gaining ground, or even surpassing the United States of America as a world power. What is one of the most important things needed for global expansion? Communication and more specifically language. Some can argue that many Europeans, South Americans, Africans and Asians are learning to speak English at a younger age which in their minds is a way to diversify themselves and be more beneficial in the job markets. To me, language is essential and the more you know the more of an asset you could be either to a company or to your family or even in your neighborhood. Mandarin is being learned more throughout the world because China's power is growing substantially throughout the world just as the United States and Great Britain did with the English language. In the United States, Spanish is present in many elementary, grade and high schools which helps students out in college, or in regions that more Hispanics are living in. We learned previously from another blog that the birth rates for Hispanics in the United States are increasing tremendously. It is important to understand the Spanish language for means of communication, understanding culture and other reasons. China clearly has the most people in the planet, and anywhere their citizens immigrate to they will bring their language, culture and customs. It is also important to think about India here too. Their population is growing; they are also a BRIC country like China, meaning their global power in the business world is increasing as well. Regardless, as other countries are gaining power and prestige in the global arena, it is important to be able to speak their language so you can stay ahead of the curve. It really can only help if you learn more, especially at a younger age. But it's important to note that just because Americans don't know how to speak some of the many languages in India or China, does not mean they are doomed. It is simply a measure to predict the global trends of which countries have influence on others in areas like business, politics and culture.

You have to understand that the reason for the outlandish depictions that Sam creates is to show the levels of both the Black and Brown people and the White people. At different stages, people react to race issues differently, have one perception compared to another and that's what Sam is trying to point out. Understanding these differences is important because that's the first thing that we as a society can do is try to understand everyone else and where conflicts arise from and why there are disagreements. It's not a competition, nobody wins or loses but those with the most knowledge and understanding of the stages of people involving race and ethnicity are certainly at an advantage.

It would limit the potential for improvement of those who are in need. The results would cause more problems in the long run since the resources would either be nonexistent or severely limited. I think you are looking at welfare from the wrong perspective. Those who are on welfare or get food stamps or some other assistance like that, aren't on it because they want to, it's more of a means for survival and a way to support a family. Because of that welfare is needed to change the cycle so the next generation of those on welfare learn how to live a "normal" life without assistance. Although there are cases where people are lazy and are taking advantage of welfare for the wrong reasons.

First of all, I don't think affirmative action will impact the quality of a job done whether it's in law or medicine. Affirmative Action is simply a means to level the playing field in order to represent an underrepresented minority. That doesn't mean a person who may have benefited from Affirmative Action necessarily will get a job if his or her skills are not up to par. It just means they are getting their foot in the door to meet the requirements for whatever profession they choose to pursue. Just because someone benefiting from Affirmative Action may have lower test scores or a lower GPA does not mean they aren't fit for their prospective job. The degree is the important part, and like Sam said "C's earn degrees." I believe nepotism is a true problem in these types of situations however. I am a business major and this is evident through out the year around job fair time and when internships are being discussed. Of course those who are more well off are going to have more connections through which they might be able to get a job over someone more deserving. This not only limits the people who are just as qualified as the person with more connections but it also limits the applicants for the same position. I understand that in business there is a general theory that "it is not what you know but who you know" and this is a problem. It is creating another gap or bridge in the job market, separating those with connections from those without. But it is also good to know that hard work and determination along with personal skills will typically be the recipe for a job. Whether or not it's a job that is your ideal choice or not is a different story because who knows, someone could get a job that they don't deserve because of who they know, then again one can get a job out of pure merit. The good thing about this is that those who may end up getting a job over someone more deserving could either perform well or under perform which could cause for their firing or removal from that position. And normally with getting raises, benefits, and promotions, they are not from who you know but from how you are in the work place based on efficiency, work ethic and results. That is of course if there is corruption which is a radical viewpoint. Nepotism is also a way for people to get their foot in the door though because if they cannot handle the position, they will be replaced unless the company is corrupt like i mentioned before. Mon, 5 Apr 2010 20:05:32 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/is-quality-the-question__trashed/#IDComment66093235 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/nothing-about-the-census-is-easy__trashed/#IDComment64932590 After watching this video, reading through some of the previous comments and taking into account what Sam mentioned in class in the past few weeks, it is clear that there is a problem with how people label themselves. Right now for the United States of America, it is more important to understand the racial and ethnic makeup of the population than to aggravate people based off of their word choice on the census form. As it was mentioned in the video clip, the United States of America is a cultural melting pot with many races and different ethnic backgrounds. So labeling people could cause a problem or two. It is wrong to leave people out in this census, even if other are offended that some couple thousand or more people still refer to themselves as Negro. The main point is to accurately measure the population, not to cause a stir over the labeling process or word choice. It becomes more difficult with people who have a mixed background, as well as those who are Hispanic but do not tie their roots back to Spain. I was also curious about the definition of African American. In class we learned it as those who can trace their roots back to slavery in the US. But from this clip, it seems that the general population interprets it as, being black and born in the United States (like the man who claimed he was African American even though his parents were both from Honduras. Another example would be a black person from Brazil who could trace their roots to Brazilian slavery. If they moved to the USA, how would they categorize themselves? Black Hispanic? Or if they were born in the USA but their parents moved from Brazil and could also tie their roots to slavery in Brazil, would they be considered African American Hispanics? As our country is becoming more and more diverse, it is important to educate people how to identify themselves. There's nothing wrong with not knowing how to label another because who knows where they can tie their ancestry to, some to Asia, some to Native Americans, some to slavery and some to Spain. It is important to understand this in order to gauge the information for future censuses. I'm unsure if there is a clear answer to this because one shouldn't feel obligated to check a box to describe themselves, but there should be an easier way to describe your race and your heritage. I would suggest something that would show where the individual was born/where they live now, and where their parents and grandparents were born/where they lived most recently. That's probably not the best idea because it doesn't count for those who are adopted but it is a decent way to understand race and ethnicity better because some people may be left out if a box doesn't really apply to them.

The fact that even with the number of white births teetering around the 50% line does not mean that white people are becoming obsolete. Even if minorities' births break the 50% threshold, it does not make me worry because the white population will still be the majority. When compared to all other ethnic categories, yes, white people will be in the minority. Until 2050 or the predicted year happens when being white is the minority compared to being Hispanic or black etc. there is not much to worry about. We are in a global world and as a society we are becoming better educated and better prepared to face adversity. In other words, this didn't really bother me at all.

Watching this video clip made me sick to my stomach. I feel that I reacted in such an alarming manner because the truth really hurts. I hate to admit it but that's how our society in conjunction with the media depict black versus white. The dolls are a microcosm of race in society and it was upsetting to see how the black kids would answer the questions. A simple question of which one do you like more, or which doll is good or bad shows a lot about the overall interpretations of race. These children weren't taught any differently, but it's clear that society is to blame for the negative perceptions of black/African American things.

Sam does sort of skip over Asians in most of his lectures whether they are Asian Americans or not. The only thing I can recall from class which somewhat relates to your question is when we were talking about the diverse makeup of the student body at Penn State. He made it a strict point to mention that international students (more specifically ones from Asia) were not the same as Asian Americans-because they did not contribute to the earnings/income levels for Asian Americans. Unfortunately I feel that since both Asians and Asian Americans are a minority group, they could be confused with each other. I also think that most white and black/brown people would get them confused or wouldn't be able to properly identify them probably because of cultural barriers like language, lifestyles and habits etc. Wed, 24 Mar 2010 05:10:43 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-are-all-of-you-thinking-about-asians__trashed/#IDComment63800317 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/if-men-could-menstruate__trashed/#IDComment63799165 The reason for men not knowing about women's menstrual cycles is because of the education we had growing up. Way back when, in elementary school is when we had our first sex and puberty talk. Obviously the guys were separated from the girls, and it seems like that's how some of the issues in our health classes were handled even through high school. Middle school could be the most ideal to teach guys about the menstrual cycle and other things about women that guys are unfamiliar with just as women could learn about aspects of males that they are unfamiliar with. This would solve the issue about people reacting the way they do. This is an example of my school district and it could differ from others'. I do agree that if men talked about it more/understood it completely that the topic would not be weird or awkward or offensive.

The first being the similarity to Native Americans on the main land of the United States and the Alaskan Natives throughout Alaska. I agree that the 400,000 native Hawaiians deserve rights and should get as much help as possible, just like the Native Americans in the United States. However, I do not believe it will do much since such an astounding number are homeless and it will take a great amount of time for a noticeable transformation to occur. To me, I appreciate their culture and diversity within their traditions in hula, and other areas but I don't see how they will be able to support themselves in the long run. Receiving money from the government would certainly be a start, and leaving out a full group of people would be immoral but i am not exactly sure of how this would turn out. With a large portion of their population living on the beach or in other harsh circumstances, one could wonder about their future. This reminded me of the saying you can give a man a fish or you can teach him how to fish, or something along those lines. The money would be of great use, and could hopefully help as many of the Native Hawaiians as possible, but there would also be a few obstacles. There would be many skeptics or opposing groups which could cause more problems for the Native Hawaiians. Another obstacle would be setting them up for the future. Would these Native Hawaiians be able to support themselves with their given circumstances and extra money from the government? Or would they need to rely on new forms of social help including training, education, employment etc. Overall, getting recognized and having their own form of government would be a great starting point for social change. I certainly feel that these Native Hawaiians are entitled to more power, land and money but I am unsure of the long term results of this. They are 20 percent of the Hawaiian population which is too large of a number to ignore. I also agree that it is not the government's responsibility to make up for past wrongdoings in an area but it is the United States of America we are talking about here. There is a significant amount of trust money that is arguably entitled to the Natives as well as an appropriated amount of land. I do agree that the Native Hawaiians understand their situation and would make the best out of it since they know their own situations better than anyone else. But overall, I am worried about the long term problems that may occur. Wed, 24 Mar 2010 04:04:23 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/native-hawaiians-ever-think-of-them__trashed/#IDComment63789833 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/women-and-sports__trashed/#IDComment62550381 I'm not going to fall into the category of being surprised or upset about the hiring of a female football coach. There are new girls football teams and leagues all across the United States and there is no rule against girls playing football. Granted there is a stigma for women playing football but many women have important roles in the sports world. When I played junior varsity football in middle school, there were three girls who started practicing with us in the summer, and one who ended up completely the season. Colorado-Boulder also had a women Kicker, yes a D-1 school has had a girl on their roster before. When it involves teaching a game or sport passion and knowledge are the main components necessary. If she can be a great teacher, when she has to deal with kids who do not want to be in a classroom, I feel she can be a great coach because the kids playing football, at the high school level, want to be there. Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:42:40 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/women-and-sports__trashed/#IDComment62550381 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-happens-to-multiracial-people__trashed/#IDComment62547810 You pose a great question here. Clearly when Sam is dividing the class he is doing it based on the largest groups: White, Black and Brown. It seems that he is just jumbling people together based on looks meaning most Asians, or multiracial people would associate as one of the Black/Brown. I think the guy he is referring to was in my race relations group so I don't want to put him on blast or anything. But overall, it should be how the individual wishes to identify their color. If someone was half black and half white, it should be up to them to want to identify with either the white or black/brown groups for the purpose of these questions in class. Just because there's no option for multiracial in these questions, like there is on most forms, it does not mean they are forgotten or hidden in the cracks. I believe Sam is only generalizing for the easiest way to divide the class to openly see differing viewpoints. Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:34:06 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-happens-to-multiracial-people__trashed/#IDComment62547810 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/does-this-rudeness-thing-cut-both-ways__trashed/#IDComment62546742 This is a great question, one that probably relates completely outside of the classroom. I also noticed that when it was the white people's turn to reply to the posed question, everyone in the class made a big deal about the rude comments. This was weird to me because there were just as many rude comments from the black/brown responses. I was curious as to why everyone in the class found it funny when people replying for the black and brown responses were being vulgar and rude. The things said were harsh, unnecessary and disrespectful. But on the other end of the spectrum, the white responses were just as rude and disrespectful but they didn't receive an overwhelming laughing factor. To me, it seems that if you are white and laugh at a stereotype or something inappropriate from the white responses, you're automatically ignorant, racist and so on. Yet when the black and brown responses come up that are just as rude, stereotypical and somewhat comical, it's accepted that they laugh. I could be wrong but that is what I noticed from class and it made me question a few things. First, I completely dislike the division of black and brown people and white people. I think Sam is making more problems by constantly referring to everyone as so in class. There's nothing wrong with laughing at a stereotype or a funny joke about another group of people but I don't understand why the white people are frowned upon by the majority of the class when they laugh at one of these rude jokes compared to any black or brown people laughing at a rude comment about white people. This might be a great way to learn about our differences, but I believe there is an unnecessary division amongst the color of students in class. I'm looking forward to seeing how Sam concludes this section of the course because right now the class seems more divided than before. Clearly we can't do much about our skin color, but we should be able to learn about our differences rather than freak out about a few people who make some form of a bold, reckless statement. I would like to see more people take the microphone and voice their thoughts and opinions, even if they are controversial, rude or racy, in front of the whole class. It will certainly filter out the childish comments, and the most pressing topics should arise. But overall, this texting system is a great way to get the audience engaged, even if it causes controversy because controversy causes people to think. That is Sam's overall goal for this course, so I can see why this may be done purposefully. Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:28:14 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/does-this-rudeness-thing-cut-both-ways__trashed/#IDComment62546742 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/fired-for-a-scarf__trashed/#IDComment60532379 I agree that there may have been complaints that worked their way up to the district manager, which caused her firing. Clearly this is wrong, hypocritical and unscrupulous, but I do believe the lawsuit (if pursued) will do both parties justice. It should hopefully penalize Hollister/Abercrombie and reward the fired employee Hani. And I laughed at the statement by Abercrombie. It sounds so superficial and a means to cover up their discrimination. Once the Equal Employment Opportunity Complaint company investigates, I believe they will agree that this is a form of a discriminatory firing, which should lead to sanctions for the company as on a corporate level. If the complaint isn't filed or a lawsuit isn't pursued, i'm sure the controversy will impact the company in one way or another.

This is particularly unnerving because of the hypocrisy that is displayed by the company. First of all, it is great that the company gave her an opportunity to work for them, even though I do not agree with the control of the color of her head scarf. Secondly, firing her for one of the caveats of hiring her is wrong, and essentially backwards. This shows how the corporate mindset is completely different than a store's because one didn't mind, her head scarf while the side with much more power had the final say. It is unfortunate that companies as popular as Abercrombie are getting heat for prejudiced situations especially on more than one occasion. To see this happening a few times in a couple of years is unacceptable and needs to be addressed immediately. Mon, 8 Mar 2010 22:17:45 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/fired-for-a-scarf__trashed/#IDComment60531561 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/this-is-getting-to-be-too-much__trashed/#IDComment60530274 The occurrence of events of this sort is almost tragic. To think we, as an entire country, have taken so many great measures to address racial, ethnic and sex related issues and to see something like this happen in California is negligent. One can argue that the parties may be inappropriate and out of line for the students who hosted, sort of like the previous thread on here about themed parties, but when events lead to swastikas carved on property, the construction of a noose in a library and a makeshift KKK rally hood, this is utterly unacceptable. Even if the noose was made by a minority, that does not make the situation better, I personally believe it makes the situation more heated and deserving of more attention. Although these schools in California are taking the heat from the media coverage, I believe the exposure to this unacceptable racism can only help with a better future outcome. If these situations are addressed properly, there can be more good coming from these racist happenings than bad. If it is known around the country that schools like UCLA, UCSD and others (which are regarded as top notch universities in the USA) are having racial issues, the most important aspect of this would be how the education systems try to address, help and alleviate the situation because these schools specifically are multi-racial and it could hurt not only their image but their state's image and overall our country's. College is a time to learn more about ethnicity, diversity and race. It is a time to understand that predispositions are unwarranted, unethical and unnecessary. Going to a diverse school is a time to learn more about yourself as a person, and the others around you who aren't necessarily "like" the majority or others. It is unfortunate that UCSD has to take the heat for these events because I'm certain there are other schools, in the south, midwest, northeast or anywhere that are dealing with racial profiling, racist events and other poor choices. I also believe that themed parties should not be the main focus of the media coverage, and the universities’ issues because it was way less severe than instances involving a noose or KKK rally hood. Although none of these issues should be taken lightly, it is important to address them appropriately so students can feel safe at their own schools, and to ultimately decrease the racial battles. It is understood that fraternities will have themed parties, and there will be racist students attending any university across the country. But that does not mean anyone should foster racism. I feel the school should address those involved, and the campuses as a whole to prevent any future occurrences as well as to manifest understanding throughout the community to make everyone feel at ease from this disheartening ordeal.
