Consider a film that portrays your culture. Reflect on how accurately your culture is represented and the potential impacts of this portrayal.

 I remember the movie dumb and dumber was about two dumb white guys and I feel like that whole movie kind of portrayed young white guys as very stupid people who are very irresponsible and can not function in the real world. Of course the movie is hilarious but I'm sure it is not the best portrayal for us like if a person who had to hire people and then remembers that movies and thinks that young white guys are incompetent and maybe doesn't hire them. I don't know about that scenerio but it is a small chance that that could maybe happen.

Today we presented our slides on one sided stories in media

 Today we were tasked with writing a poem on our culture, And to be honest I do have some ideas but I feel like all of the poems I have read before are kind of messing with my ideas. I know that the poems we write can be freeform but 98% of the poems I have read in my life always rhymed so for some reason I feel like I have to make mine rhyme too, I'll probably just have to work with what ever I have got so we'll see how it goes. Aside from that nothing really happened today although I was trying to go to gym today and there was a fight right outside of the entrance to the gym, I don't really know why they were fighting and I also don't really know who they were but I just think thats because I usually like to mind my business, but that's all anyway.

Write about a feeling that took you by surprise

 My dad just had his birthday and my step-mom had got me to sign his card but I wasnt allowed to look at the back of the card because apparently It would spoil the surprise which confused me because it wasnt even my birthday. Though after we had dinner he started to open his gifts and he got to the big box that had the gift that was pictured on the back of the card. The gift was a stand and chair for a racing simulation because we already had the wheel and pedels. Even though it was his gift I knew that he was gonna let me use it and I was super shocked when he unwrapped it. Today we learned about the open defication problem in India. I kinda understand if maybe you are in a rural part of the country but if you even have one latrine then I think its weird that you wouldnt use it. I guess some beliefs are more powerful than the belief in hygine.

The impact of gender roles

 Today we went over gender roles and how thay impact us. We went over some slides and we did an assignment about gender roles and how they impact ourselves and our culture, And how the people around us form our beliefs in what our roles should be. It was an okay class today it wasn´t really my favorite but thats probably because it doesn´t really interest me. I also had a nice easy day today and I had a small quiz which I got an 100 on so that was a nice satisfying second period.
