My last reflection....

When I began this class my idea was instant, I knew what I wanted to write about.I now am even happier that I decided to study this large yet, controvercial subject. I love hearing other opinions on what they see and hear everyday, and wehat their veiws are. I also loved being able to learn and express my thoughts about a passion in my life. Though the research was simple I had a hard time finding out many things. There is just so much to this topic. This semester's class has taught me that I want to pursue the knowledge about cultural studies. I feel like I have learned so much, in so little time. A main idea I will forever hold true is that judgements are the one sin we are capable of making everyday! Unless we learn to rid ourselves of this awful habit violence, hate and fear will always linger among us. Another topic I feel like I have truly intook was that humans are all 99.9% the same. I know I have been saying this since day one but now i beleive it more than ever. This has come from the comments others have left me, my observations at work, home and mainly at school. I have learned to read a newspaper and listen to the teachings. Use them and the ideas of others to come to my conclusion.

The "golden rule," Treat others the way you want to be treated. This is the one set of advice and important ideas I can come up with. If humans were to learn to accept one another our World would be a much better place. People who judge and discriminate really I feel hate themselves or know that they are awful in some way. We make fun of others to boost ourselves. For example, in today's media, American Idol and reality t.v, show us that we would rather listen to others drama than deal with our own.

If I were to read one of my posts it would be my survey. I learned so much from this. I judged people to get them to take my survey. To let them understand and think about the issues I think about all the time. My mind is warped with constant questioning of how others affect me and how I affect others. This post is extremely knowlegable, I took so much time considering things then rethinking them!!! It was my favorite to write. I really got to get in people mind's and see how similar but different we are.

If I were to have done things differently I would have kept up with my blogs a little more. Also and mainly, I would have searched and have become completely stuck in this thought process. I was so distracted by "my life" and what I wanted I dont feel like I really searched and found what I was looking for. I am only a child but I am still elft with questions. I understand much more of the World and how others look at others but I still want and wanted to know more. I wish I would have tried harder to research and learn more. A lot of these blogs are my personal view and the views of others which have opened my mind.

I'm a very passionate person! I love to speak my mind! Iv'e become conscience to my action and have drastically changed. Who I am is still here, but I have changed. I feel like I verse myself quite well. This would be my area of "expertise" I would say. Not that i am an expert at anything but that I am well versed with myself and know what I want to say when I want to say it.

The easiest thing was my topic. I have always had a thing for observing others, their actions and trying to figure what is in their minds. They truly fascinate me. Culture and phsycology are both amazing and something we must understand for us to change our World to the way we want it. Our World needs some work and that is a wonderful yet tragic thing we all must come to terms with. I praise everything for what I have and this blog has helped me to understand people in a far more superior way.

The most difficult thing I was faced with was finding information and data on the wide, large topic, I chose. When ever I would type or try to find "cultural studies" many many things would pop up. I really should have focused on something with in the huge topic, but am really proud of what I have accomplished in such a little time. Specifics were easy to find. This is why on many blogs you will see I tried to focus on one part of the subject rather than the whole topic itself.

In most English classes we would just write essays. This blog system gives the student a hand on expirience and makes it fun! You were meant to use books, the internet, people and yourself. We were able to read about others issues and become well versed with our classmates and their views. I thought it was great and exciting. By reading other's blogs you gain a sence of what is going on in the World without having to try hard, because someone else did it for you. I was disgusted by some of the issues and their information while others I was completely wrapped up in. This class and the other blogs have taught me information I would have never really tried to find before. Yet, when it's put into your face it's something that you cannot blind yourself to. This is life and the "Real World."
