Race and Class in the American Criminal Justice System

It is a great look to see how O.J's trial made such a great impact on how society is viewed when its comes to race and class. We all know how society is and how certain races and classes are viewed but to actually read the statistics it makes you think wow this is the actual percentage of minorities. When David cole said "for every one black man who graduates from college, 100 are arrested." my jaw dropped that is so shocking to hear. i believe its not just with black people though. I just feel like when people do go out and commit a crime SOME of the time its because that person is trying to hustle so they can live, keep their apartment, feed their child and in time of desperate need crime happens. minoirties are also victimized by crimes statistics shows that more white males use drugs the blacks but more blacks are in jail for drugs then the white males.

Killing us Softly

Jeans talk was great. Even when we don't realize it we are looking at advertisement. When never really look at the messages behind these advertisements. A lot of advertisement portrays women. When you look all around women are trying to match up to watch societies image is for them which is being skinny.  by using women to advertise it give society and makes the image of how women should look and dress. Because of this many women have eating disorders. I believe that everyone is equal why should society have an image based on how all of us SHOULD look. We all come from different cultures and are raised different ways so why that one specific look Skinny. There are so many beautiful women who are not skinny  who are curvy or plus size. There should be no image being that skinny is not a good way to show and teach young women.

A CALL TO MEN

A CALL TO MEN

I love how Tony Porter started off by say how men are looked at by society, society gives them tat norm that you don't cry, don't show fear, they are superior, dominating, no emotion except anger, men are in charge, strong, women are property to men. I feel like what he says is so true. It is so rare to find a man that will cry and get everything off his chest because they are scared to be compared to a woman and how women do things. I feel like men do try to live up to oceity especially today and try to act tough and live up to everyones expectation on men but they are not living up to themselves. They believe women have to see them a certain way but me personally its okay if a guy cry's i don't view it like anything, its okay if a guy has feelings about certain things people judge so much when they should only judge themselves. Men should be free.

Milgram experiment

The video on the Milgram experiment was very interesting to watch. In the beginning i thought to my self these people won't go to the extend of going to the greatest shock, their conscious will stop them. The scientist when they would question him saying can i stop would convince them that its okay just to go on with the experiment and i guess because he's the person running the experiment and a "scientist" he knows want he doing the volunteers would trust in what he's saying. With that reassurance people would go on with the experiment making all the way to the highest shock, except one man who refused to go on any longer. I was actually very happy when i saw that because I think that i couldn't take all that pressure knowing that every time a man got a question wrong i thought i was actually giving his an electric shock. I think that all the participates got nervous but at the end their reactions were almost relieved that they weren't actually shocking anybody.
