As a women the most attractive women are the more skinny and petite females. Well honestly that isn't true but that is beside the point. Men want to or at least most of them want to be the more masculine and buffer type male, but in other instances men also want to be your so called pretty boy type of male. So I honestly believe society plays a big role on how men present themselves. For example , in class 3 females presented a ten minute skit about how girls are pressured to be this barbie figure individual person. Men are suppose to have nice bodies and rock beach abs. So men are pressured to do things such as steroids, not saying that I would take them, but many men do to look like a ken doll for the ladies. So to answer your question do men have it as bad as women yes in certain instances. But the differences is the women media physic is being protrayed I believe twice as much as males. Even in beer commercials, women are always so lean and fit looking like models 99.9 percent of the time. And men are often times drinking the beer with beer bellies sitting on the coach watching ESPN. That to society is often times excepted and no one really cares about the beer belly, But if a women had a beer belly it would be looked as a terriable image and people wouldn't even attempt to buy that brand of beer. So like i was saying yes men deal with the same problems and influential media pressure as women do on a day to day basis , but I believe women deal with it twice as much and if not that triple as much. We all live in a world that is so depended on looks and popularity that we often forget the to look at the person for who or what they really are and bring to the table. Its a tough society to live in, but honestly I believe if you are skinny, fat, small, tall, ugly or gorgeous to a magazine cover artist6 or whatever there is something about you that will make you more beatiful then the super model that rips the run way with her petite figure. You just have to know what you bring to the table . To be noticed is just to be yourself, not to try and look like the next person because that is what you were born to look the same as everyone else we wouldn,t have these problems. A real man wants a real women not a pretty face they come a dime a dozen.

In my opinion Sam hit some very sensitive places during his lecture. I still don't understand why we are still are in Iraq fighting. We already got Sudam Husan and executed him, so whats the real reason why we are their other than oil purposes. Oil has been one of our most important economic incomes for decades. Why are we making this seem like a christian war. Honestly why can we just leave muslims alone for a while, then in the near future we could ask nicely for some oil. And maybe then they wouldn't feel like we are just trying to take over their whole country. I feel like we need to not stop trying to put religion in the place of stealing. I dont think this has anything to do with religion , because their are many countries that we are allies with that don't share the same religion as we do, but we are not bothering them at all. And the reason why is because they are more put together or established countries. I believe we feel as though since Iraq is a country that isn't very established and we can just take from them what we want. And they are fighting back and not just giving us what we want so we try and threaten them with war and,they continue to fight back. I believe that the goverment doesn't want to tell us as American civilians the truth. So they try and use religion as and excuse for our impatience with Iraq. And anyways why are we in Iraq , we should be on the task of looking for Osami bin laden after he blew up our world trade centers. Need to go get him before we worry about taking control of another country. We need to stop being bullies to other countries and become or stay allies with them because if they have something we want maybe we should try to be a little more friendly to them. We also should not capture and torture civilians or even mercenaries in their country. It just shows and promotes unessesary media attention across the world. The war in Iraq definately doesnt seem like a christian invasion , more or a haterd invasion on a country who doest share the same cultures and customs as we do. As an american I would i would just like to know the truth about why my friends and my family are getting killed, the so called christian invasion just doesn't seem to make much sense , and doesn't explain why kids are dieing. Just give us the truth I think families deserve to know why there people are dieing.

How could you really take this class and not began to have a different image in your mind about why things are the way they are and how it has became that way . I honestly feel completely different about other ethnic groups. Not only the other groups but also my group, the information lectured to us is helpful but it only will be helpful if we use the information to determine what needs to be done and try to patch up some of the wounds in our world. No one group on this earth is more superior than the other it’s all equal. For once the minorities began to realize that things are going to change, just the presidential election. A black man is the world leader now. And he has given so much to the minorities by just becoming the president. So I think it’s about time to start accepting the fact that you are no better than the next. If we don't sooner or later it’s going to be a problem. Just the thought let alone someone saying they learned absolutely nothing is just bogus what has he not been going to class. But all in all I have learned so much from this course and will use it in my life for the rest of my life. I think this course is one of the more important courses that should definitely be taught from now until the end of human existence. This class has a lot potential to be rated one of the best classes that I ever attended. Most other classes are so boring and taught straight from the book, even the examples they use are even boring. Sam talks about experiences from his life, and from his stories it seems as though his life was very interesting. He doesn’t just talk straight from a text book. Most professors now a day just teach as they were taught to teach but I think you can add your own twist to it like Sam did to keep us awoke. If you don’t agree with Sam or you just think he’s wrong then I understand that, but to say that he didn’t change your mind or you feel like you didn’t learn anything from him then you must really been asleep. I believe in this course and hope that everyone would learn something from it.

Minorities arent less qulified they are just less fortunate and looked down upon by the majority. Which in would make anyone seem less qulified . I think its time to open up or minds and eyes and start to understand that everyone is equal and not less qulified they just had a different childhood or different parenthood so as they grow and learn about something that they care about , such as a doctor degree they just need a little time to catch up on there stuff and i trust and believe that you could put them to the same test as your quote on quote qulified individuals to your less qulified individuals and i think they would be capable of doing the same things as the person who is supposabley more fit for the job. Its just the matter of opening up your thoughts and look past the money class aka social class and realize that the money doest make the person the person makes the money.

Every one needs to be able to take care of their families, so they won' t have to rely on the systems. Affirmitave action does not put unqualified people in positions for no apparent reason, it puts qualifeid people in the right positions. Also, it would affect colleges that accept students who do not meet their standars; that could result in a schol loosing their accreditation. Get realisitc, no hospital would hire some one just because of their skin color. That person would have had to attend a college,obtain multiple degrees, pass alot of test.

I agree that hiring less qualified individuals in a hospital would be wrong, but who says that people from minorities are less qualified. Affirmitive action is not just hiring anyone from a minority group; thats why we have interviews and orientations to see who qualifies, and to keep the oppertunites open for everyone they should hire more than one race. All races have something valuable to offer. Buisnesses that only hire one race is prejuidice. therefore, affirmitave action helps establish a very qualified and diverse staff.

In the 2010 census reflects how diverse our country is today and the fact that we can’t be defined as black, white or brown anymore. On the census there are more than 37 options for race to fill in from which goes to show that there aren't many people who identify themselves with only one race anymore. So how could you honestly call races colored but exclude all whites when white is definitely a well known in the color spectrum. I honestly believe that the term colored was a word to just make whites Americans at those time more unique and features closer to the lord. Something in the past was taking the wrong way or read or interpreted in a wrongful manner. For example the bible states that Jesus had hair like wool and eyes the color of amber. The only races that is most likely to have colored eyes and hair of wool. But not understanding or neglecting the fact that also it states that the lord has the skin color of the earth’s dirt. That to me seems like a person of color, to have the color of dirt means that person is not white. That idea of being better than one another is just some made up idea, just to keep other cultures in a lower social class in our country and all over the world. The white American society has made the world so blind and confused of who is more superior to the other. That whatever they say or promote that is good or bad or the right way or the wrong way the whole country believes it and things like these aren’t good because it has affected our beautiful cultures into believe white is right. In class we watched a short video clip of some young African American children. They were ask what doll is the better doll and what doll is the bad doll. The first test was a little girl probably no older than 4 years old. And the tester asked her which doll was better, she hesitated and looked at both dolls and she picked up the white doll and smiled. Then the next question came up and was what doll was the bad doll, she quickly grabbed the black doll and frowned. I honestly believe the only way our society is going to be fixed is by not only trying but making our social classes more equal by giving everyone a chance to be on top. Just by making one minority capable of succeeding in our world will open up doors for the world to become a better place of living. Sat, 27 Mar 2010 02:42:03 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-happens-to-multiracial-people__trashed/#IDComment64286435 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/women-and-sports__trashed/#IDComment62983742 My first reaction on this story is that this is great, an icebreaker for women who really love the sport of football but aren't often perceived as football players or coaches. This reminds me of the first black president of the United States Barack Obama because both Natalie and Obama were the first of their "kind" in a specific role. They both down played the significance of being the first because they want to be perceived as normal or next person in the role not the token person in the role. What Natalie is doing is making things better for woman because its another thing woman are able to do that they couldn't do before. However, there are a lot of things that would be difficult if you were a female coach. For example, locker room talk , after practice when young men are sweaty and dirty and ready to shower and naked it’s not exactly a good place for the coach to be when a player comes in to talk why their practice was so bad. Also the young men may be distracted by the female anatomy. Even though the ice has been broken for a female coach to actually be head authority on a football team at any level, still there are very slim possibilities they will ever be at a higher level than high school. The intensity in college and the NFL are far too great or will always be looked at as a male dominated. So overall I think it’s great that this woman is getting a chance to do what she loves but I don’t see it starting to become the trend. As a side note women who love football or are big fans of a certain team is a separate issue than woman playing and coaching football. Its great being a fan but it may be far too complicated for a female to be a successful coach. It’s not impossible but it’s not a very good idea for females working with some grown males in the national football league being their head coach because personally I would of been like are you kidding me how can a female teach the team techniques and strategies without distracting most of the players. Like I said the female anatomy can be a big distraction. Can a female coach with a husband stand the fact that his wife or girlfriend is under much stress, or even working with men around the clock each year. I do not think Women can even relate to the players in certain situations because teenage boys often look to their coaches for guidance in life situations that women cannot understand because they never been through them. This is not a bash on women coaching, It would be similar to a man coaching a women’s team- their just certain aspects of coaching that can’t be done across gender.

In our tough economy people with ten or more experience or a masters degree are losing their job. can you imagine being in jail from age 18 to 25 getting out into the workforce competing with those individual who spent those same years getting an education. The odds are against you to continue a normal life. The jobs that are available are mostly going to be minimum wage paying jobs. And its really difficult to start a life making 300 dollars a week. If you are desperate enough and need money you do what you have to do. Now in response to the video about why when black people get out of jail do they fall back into their old lifestyle...Most individuals go back to the life that most of the time put them in jail. Most of the time its to give the ex-convict an escape from his or her life, jail is not a easy punishment. You are told what to do day in and day out, you are told when to eat and told when to sleep. And you are an adult, and on top of that you have to deal with the other inmates. You have to be fighting and proving yourself worthy to be in a gang in jail, which is most of the time your only protection during your prison term. On top of dealing with economic problems, you have to deal with psychological problems from the physical and verbal abuse that happens in our prisons all around our country. Just imagine you are 23 years old just getting released from a state prison for selling crack in your neighborhood. You are free from incarceration, with the idea of starting a better and more successful life. But to remind you the people that are your friends and family are a part of the reason why you were in jail in the first place. Now you have to try and not hang around your old home as much as you use to. But you have no where to go and stay where you wouldn't be surrounded by drugs and crime. Chances are you weren't spending your high school years in honors classes you were on the streets selling drugs and hanging out with your friends. So now that you are out of jail you have no education and little support network; your past mistakes that you supposedly were punished for by going to jail have become your future. That is why you are stuck in a hole.

You have to remember that our world is looked upon as a man's world, and men don't accept gay men most of the time. So by understanding that you should have a general idea of why lesbians seem to be more accepted in that area of sexual orientation. Men tend to sometime or most of the time enjoy watching female on female love scenes. So to see two pretty women making love is entertainment. But I can't say all female gays are accepted because many lesbians that are more than just a pretty girl love scene between 2 women are being unaccepted just like males who are gay. To many men it seems to be unnatural to see a gay man on a sports team. Stereotypically gay men are not big strong football players or a big tall basketball players or tough hockey players. They are often thought of as figure skaters or ballerinas. So the publlic has no concept of gays being involved in mainstream sports. Sterotypical views are that they dont belong in a locker room. On the other hand it is less of a shock for women sports like lady basketball and softball to have lesbians. In the sports world is more accepting to be a lesbian to be a gay male. Their is at least one industry were gay men are accepted , the fashion and beauty industry. Shows like queer eye for the straight gay are very popular and kind of doing something positive with the stereotype that gay men are cleaner and dress better than a straight guy. In hollywood gay men are accepted in sitcoms and movies and all around the media. More and more we see gay actors coming out of the closet and being embraced for who they are. For example, T.R. Knight from Greys anatomy and Adam Lambert from American Idol. Certain industries and certain places are more accepting of homosexuality than others. As a whole it may be easier to be a lesbian than gay man, but it is still not easy to be attracted to the same gender. Society has a long way to go before your sexual orientation is accepted whether you are a male or female. In my opinion about LGBT issues- do your thing and don't worry about others opinions , its not that simple but you are the one who has to look at yourself in the mirror each day and ask yourself "who am I?"

How in the hell can you sell a damn human sized rubber barbie doll that makes sex noises. Seven THOUSAND dollars for some bullshit like that, what happen to just going out meeting someone and having sex? I mean obviously it is easier said then done but its also helps you as a person. Who wants to have a freaking cabbage patch doll as your soul mate. I mean seriously, you and a bunch of your friends aka homeboys are gossiping about what girls they had sex with last night after the party or how great or even terrible their weekend was. And the only thing that you can say is that I had sex with a BARBIE doll, o my freaking gosh your friends proable cant wait to hear that . To have sex with a rubber doll has to be the most downgrading thing anyone I mean anyone could possibly deal with , honestly i couldn't deal with the emotional embaressment of knowing I screwed I robot. And for the people who bye this mess, you must really be UGLY or just flat out a boring no girl having , 40 year old virgin of the century. YOU are screwing a DOLL people come on and for seven thousand dollars. You can go down to a strip club and get some real serious action for 20 times less than that. But at the same time I am utterly amazed at the type of technology we are enhancing ourselves with. But I am also sick because we are spending 7000$ on a fake ass orgasm. No wonder our country is so in debt. Because when we have money we waste it and go buy stupid unhumalike things, I think if a human is creepy enough to go and buy a doll for seven thousand dollars he is just mentally ill or just sick. Then on top of that literally on top of a doll and preforming sexual intercourse is just ridiculous and that person should be evaluated. Instead of worrying about different cultures and customs. We should be focused on f**king Barbies to get off. This just shows us how far we have come as an country and what changes we are making over time but at the same time how we are wasting our evolutionary intelligence.

Across western countries, like France or the United states, people have an assumption that different is bad and their opinion is correct. The Muslim women in France that wear Burkas have the right to wear whatever they please. How you dress or carry yourself is a reflection of what customs you believe in and cultures you are a part of, no government should be able to cripple your rights. This problem that takes place in France doesn't only happen in that society. In many countries around the world problems like these are not even talked about, citizens don't have the power or right to speak on laws of their countries. Maybe the country is just worried about the risk of having a parka on in the middle of the summer when the sun is at its best. And on top of that the hoodies are black. If i were the goverment and saw people walking around with hoodies on i would be concerned to not just wanting to be asshole goverment but try to protect them from their unique and possibly dangerous customs. And its not only Americans saying and worrying about this it is also the men that share the same religion. Thats kind of ironic being that is the reason why they claim or we suspect they wear them for. To cover up their true beauty for the men that a wait them in the future. But yet you have the men in your religion concerned as we are as an immigrant culture not evening knowing and understanding the reason why. But still having the govement involved would cause much contreversy between religions. Let the people that are cut from different wool than we are as americans do what they know best and everyone will be happy. The less people are disrespected the better .

This story explains to you how our country stereotypes many races and cultures. It shows the people of America how we let stereotypes have a huge impact on our way of life and how society lets looks and past situations scares us still today. For starters if we are scared of other countries and other cultures we already are losing half the battle. In many instinces seeing such actions of someone praying and having wires tied around their body bowing their heads is very creepy on the plane after the 9/11 terrorist attack. Things like that pose a huge, huge threat to the minds of a pilot or the flight attendance aboard the flight. But having these stereotypical images in our minds may sometimes help save us from people who pose a unessesary threat to our country or just maybe to ones family so im not going to say that its a 100 percent bad thing to have stereotypical thoughts.But what im saying is we shouldnt do it to everyone who shares many familer gentic make ups because this is america and our country is mixed together so well that every corner you turn you will see someone who may share the same type of image as the last or the next which will cause you to live a life of fear. How do you plan to ever feel safe in your country if you dont plan to become aware and not intimdated from a different face. We need to just accept the fact that if they are not following or sharing the same customs and cultures as we are not to be scared. Because you have to remember that maybe they may be citizens of our country this is still not their homeland and if anyone should be scared it should be them being afraid of us. The stories they prolly hear and see on their televisions about what type of country we are I would feel like the upper hand to any unfamilier culture. But seeing a person with olive skin and dark hair with a litttle hat upon their head doesn't always mean their going to blow or take control of our planes. I believe if america was really worried about another attack they would have some security aboard the planes or at least armed flight attendance. If we actually adapted the cultures of others we wouldnt have to worry about such things. And would know the differences between religions and know when to take necssarry measures when needed.

That’s just the way it is and things will never be the same. You see the old way wasn’t working. One thing that has been bothering me is this question “why do you think that you can run the country and the black race can’t?” For starters the white race has more numbers in America but is definitely a weaker and less superior race. The only thing keeping them on top is politics. This country is not only going to be a diverse country but also a diverse government. Why keep fighting among each other when we have hundreds of countries who hate us? How smart is that? As the educated citizen you have to be to become a senator in our country, why would you decide to use your intelligence to try and keep other races inferior to the white man in the United States? Get out of the stone age and wake up to the next generation and except it. If you don’t want to spend the rest of your days with a black political leader what can you possibly do about it but just sit and watch, eventually you will deal with it if you already haven’t. In the mean time don’t shut the h*ll up.

I am heated right now that this politically powerful man is coming at my brother Barack Obama. Senator Reid, and most of white America, is still afraid of letting the black race rise to the top in our country, so his only way of dealing with the new generation is to say that he has lighter-skin and a language switch to make him able to become the leader of our country. What does he think we were going to let him and fellow republicans run our country after the way ex President Bush showed us what the white man would do for money. Well if I could just let him know that those days are old and washed up.

The man who made this comment is out of touch with reality. It’s understandable that Senator Reid, being an older gentlemen who likely grew up at the height of racial aggression in the US may be misinformed about the politically correct ways to talk about race. While his words may not have been the harshest way to say it-His messages was a black man can’t run this country.
