the film.

i was very depressed and angered at the film that was shown in class on monday.it angered me that america could show so much indifference to the jews and the holocaust. i think we (as America at the time>) should have helped. i was also appalled at the immigration laws at that time. the single event that angered me is when we wouldn't let the jewish kids come over but we let the european kids come over....
i hope america has grown since then but i see some of the same attitudes displayed now as we did back then.

first paragraph for english

todays society has different stigmas for what is acceptable. there are those that choose to live outside the norm and a persecuted for their "alternative lifestyles". the media protrays goths, punks and emo kids in a bad light. also a very misunderstood one. what is a counter culture? it's usually a class of people started from a youth movement. there are many types of counter cultures and some blur the lines between them like for example you can have an "emo goth".

topics i want to do a reasearch paper on!

for class i would like to do research paper of racism or how people use streotypes to judge people with out realizing it. how society conditions us to look at people a certain way wether they be black or white, gay or straight. counter culture or not. and how this pertains to our legal system or society in general. or i would do a resarch paper of a counter culture like punk or emo or goth and what it orginally originated from and what it means today or i would do a research paper on how there is really no middle class as long as the prices of todays living our going up and how that affects the future of america.
