DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER

                                                  

                                                Don’t judge a book by its cover

Most of the times in life more things are judging by the look. But the look might be of sickness or poorness myself have judged before and in this case it was an old lady whom I looked at and said to myself “she might was a witch “by the look itself could tell but later came to realize that she was ill and her face had changed and she was walking using a stick.

And this connects with how most people out there think about my schools due to of what they hear and see out there with the students themselves but inside the school is really different according to my viewing and only those who are playful and think that you can do anything you want get to do it and get kicked out.

Like it or not from Africa to this land of honey, richness,hope and peace all you get to hear from each country is really not what you get there, since most people say coming to America is something successful due to the way they describe it before coming, like getting killed is easy and rapes. But coming here, their country is more secure than you may think and emergency help is quicker than you can think or imagine.

In the story thank you mum the boy thought that stilling was going to help him buy the shoes he was thinking about and him attempting to steal. He came to learn that the lady was huge and by thinking he was going to get him let away with the purse, since the lady looked huge.

He was in the wrong thought whereby the lady knocked him off and dragged him home and took care of him as she could by being nice and giving him a small helpful lecture that lead the boy to think that he thought it was to get the purse since she was a lady but found out he was riding on the wrong boat at the wrong time too. All this brings the say “Don’t judge a book by its cover”.

1.       I wrote this essay connecting this quote “Don’t judge the book by its cover “since it really motivates me when it comes to individual lives .This means that people have different issues and goals in their life and these ads up the way they deal with their daily life. It’s a huge topic when expanded and discussed and it really discourages things like bullying in our society. It teaches most of us how to connect with people and react to individuals that are close to you not to pick on them due to their looks or gender or race and yet not knowing what they can contribute to the today society.

2.      Writing this, we learnt how to connect our lives to our daily life to and also other peoples too. This creates the connection and what you can make up while writing. It also enlightened us to the way we write and connect our lives to what we write and also other well known people around us that contribute to our daily lives.However, it teaches us how to form an essay and knowing it should be five paragraphs or more.

3.      It really came out well. Am proud of it due to the collections of things I added to it and detailed on then. It also allowed me to connect with lots of things that make up the topic from different connections. Also to them, it made me remember most the past events that had something to do with it and things are maybe the things that have happened or happening and will happen

Bilingual Discrimination

Bilingual discrimination happens in the work place and at school. While there is no discrimination law against it there should be, Spanish is becoming it’s second language in the united states. Criticism of bilingual education has grown as parents and also numerous objective analyses have shown it was ineffective. It also kept students too long in Spanish only classes and slowed the learning of English and assimilation who American society. Example “bilingual education has proven to be effective in helping immigrant children to learn English, many parents still complain about inequities according to the new papers. Parents from three schools district voiced common complaints. This is a lock of bilingual personal in schools. Discrimination against Hispanic students and changes in bilingual education program also it’s fearful of their status undocumented immigrants are hesitant to point out the injustices their children face in school. Hispanic people in the rural area where people live deal with many of them on a daily basis. The discrimination of English vowel contrasts in real and novel words by forty native English and forty bilingual Spanish and English participants that was examined , with novel words representing new words in a second language . Discrimination was investigated because this factor is the basis of phonological awareness this shows an interaction between bilingualism vowel contrasts and also novel words . Bilingual participants had greater difficulty with certain vowel contrasts . There was a significant difference in discrimination is accuracy between the bilingual   and the native English participants. The monolingual English speaks had no difficulty in discrimination. The bilingual speakers who learned English earlier had less difficulty than those speakers who learned English later the novel words presented the bilingual speakers.
This shows an example from Cathy Kelly in her article it says  as she looks in the Odessa American for a job this is where she comes across. She says “ does this mean if I’m not bilingual I don’t qualify for the job?” shouldn’t they already have employees there who can speak English and Spanish? These questions makes her wonder if this could be bilingual discrimination. Cathy says that if she can’t speak Spanish why does that disqualify her from a job? They offer free classes at Odessa college to learn English but they charge to learn Spanish or another language. She was .born a U.S citizen in the united states of America where English is our first language but also Spanish is our second language in this country too.

Police Brutality

Justice is being fair and unbiased. Police brutality is serious injustice
in the world. Police all across the world have been abusing their power for
years. I believe police brutality would never be stopped against African
Americans.
Police brutality has impacted all America. In Birmingham, Alabama 29 year
old travarious Daniel accused of stealing a car was arrested outside of a
nightclub downtown. Daniel was staggering down a sidewalk with his hands in
the air. Then he was tackled and struck by the police multiple times in the
back of the head. Travarious Daniel was shown with a bandage over his eye.
The cops were put on paid on administrative leave. Despite getting beat by
the cops Daniel was charged with unlawful breaking and entering of a
vehicle and receiving stolen property. Another story from Birmingham,
Alabama is a man named Anthony warren suspected of drug activity. Warren
took the police on a 50 mile chase. Warren van knocked over a police
officer standing in the road. Then warrens van flip over into a ditch,
warren was ejected from the van and he stopped moving. One black and four
white officers kicked and beat warren brutally as he lay unconscious. Later
warrens mug shot showed a terrible bruise warren wearing a neck brace.
Warren was charged with attempted murder but plead guilty to aggravated
assault, he received 20 years. The cops didn’t receive criminal charges
against them but they were fired. In Chicago, robin perovic got into a
fight with the bouncer and she called the police. Officer James cheavas
turned against her when she didn't want to sign a blank incident report.
According to robin the officer picked her up and threw her face down on the
ground. Since she was handcuffed she couldn't break her fall so she landed
on her face. In 2002 to 2004 more than 10,000 complaints were filed on
Chicago police officers. Police brutality was an is a serious case. I don't
believe that it will never be stopped unless the world educate the police
officers on how to treat their citizens.

Fairness and Equality for L.G.B.T

Why do people judge L.G.B.T people? L.G.B.T people are the same as straight people they love, care, laugh, enjoy life, have feelings, have dreams, they might have different style yeah maybe they wear tight jeans and tight shirts that doesn’t mean for you to bully him/her. Why cant they be treated the same as straight people we are all human beings and we all have human rights!

Why can't they be happy with their partner and the person they feel comfortable with? L.G.B.T people don’t feel comfortable going out cause they feel like they get judged looked at wrong just because they are being happy with their partner as normal people. There are people that haven’t told their family that they are gay because they feel like they are going to be a “disgrace” in the family. L.G.B.T people have no justice they aren’t treated equally and fair as straight people.

"The Bible contains 6 admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals that doesn't mean GOD doesn't love heterosexuals, its just that they need more supervision"

L.G.B.T people have rights to work anywhere, love anyone, raise a family, become something in life, marry and are happy with their partner etc.

For example Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts she is challenging Scott Brown the senate seat in Massachusetts for support for same sex marriage and equality for L.G.B.T. Elizabeth joined the growing list of law makers. She recalled the repeal of the 1996 defense of the marriage act. That’s preventing the federal government from recognizing married L.G.B.T couples and they are offering them federal benefits. Even the President is in this he also recently has taken historic steps forward in promoting the cause of equality and fairness for L.G.B.T marriage.

The U.K believes that L.G.B.T people should enjoy all the human rights with no fear of discrimination and criminalization. The U.K also treats everyone with equality and gives them the enjoyment of human rights with no discrimination.

There's an L.G.B.T project that works for an American free of discrimination. Where L.G.B.T people can live openly where there is fair treatment in jobs, schools, housings, public places, health care, etc.

In the past years kids committed suicide for being bullied and getting judge for being gay. Why can't L.G.B.T people be happy with the person they love and care about?

LGBT Bullying

     Justice is defined as a concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, or equity. Justice is the act of being just and / or fair. Justice is something big we’re facing now, everyone is trying to get it. Everyone has their own little reason on having justice and why there fighting for it. To me I fell as though the saying “You get treated the way you treat others” Doesn’t actually work all the time. I mean you can be so nice and respectful to someone and they won’t care on giving any respect back (Injustice).

     Something that I feel as though is very unjust  is the treatment of LGBT Americans. With all the discrimination against gays, support groups and other communities need to work hard to ensure that everyone regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity can fully participate in a civil society. Not too long ago in New Jersey, 18 year old Tyler Clementi at Rutgers University jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge on Sep.22.2010.  Roommates recorded his sexual encounters and video-streamed it.

     Clementi was born in, Buffalo New York. Raised in ridge wood New Jersey, A few days before leaving home to attend college at Rutgers, Clementi told his parents that he was gay. His father supported him, Clementi Said that his mother had basically “Rejected” him. Tyler’s suicide, Along with the suicides of several other gay teens who had been harassed Moved president Obama secretary of state Hilary Clinton  and secretary of Ed to express shock and sadness and speak out against any form of bullying.

     For over 75 years the A.C.L.U has L.G.B.T people in the broad mission of civil rights and civil liberties for all. While there is public support for supporting discrimination against gay people illegal. The gay, lesbian and straight education network today marks the culmination of pioneering research documenting the experiences of L.G.B.T with the release of 2009 national school climate survey.

     2009 survey of 7, 261 middle and high school students found that school nearly 9 out of 10 L.G.B.T students experience harassment t school in the past year and nearly two thirds felt unsafe cause their sexual orientation.

I don't like it, and those that do, will eventually in life regret that they did. We are supposed to love one another. I am just adding this, especially if they are in trouble. They don't discriminate then. The attitude they have is I need help, no matter who it is, as long as they can help them. That is all that matters to them. We should never have hate someone for their differences, we get no where in life doing so, and with expressing such hatred, we are hurting that individual more than we possible could.

Child Abuse

Justice is very fair in the world. I have a few articles on child abuse. Child abuse is very unfair to the child because they end up dead and the parent(s) end up in jail with no parole. Therefore, child abuse should have never existed.

Parents who physically abuse their own spouse are most likely to abuse their own children. Kids resulting from unintended pregnancies are sometimes likely to be abused and/or neglected. Drinking can also lead to child abuse. One study found that parents with documented substance abuse, most commonly alcohol, cocaine, and heroin, were also much more likely to mistreat their children and reject court-ordered services and treatments.

I heard two myths about child abuse. Myth 1: child abuse doesn’t happen in “good” families. Myth 2: abused children grow up to be abusers like their parents.

Child Abuse Hotline:

o To get help or report abuse, call the Child help national child abuse hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (422-4453) OR visit www.chiworld.org. o Open 24-hours a day, everyday of the year.

Tell Right Away

A child being seriously harmed should tell a trusted adult right away. Talk to the trusted adult in person or on the phone. Write an email, note or send a letter. Tell a school counselor, school nurse, teacher, or coach. Tell a friend’s mom, dad, big brother, or big sister.
