Anti-war
8 Words Too Little- War In Iraq
"Bullets are going into hearts of little ones.
Kids dodging bombs just to get home
To find out their loved ones have gone"
The lyrics of this song are expressing how much the kids suffer because of the war. There are kids that unfortunetly end up in the area in which the war is going on and either they end up getting hurt or have to come home to no parents.
This song is similar to the songs from the vietnam war because they are anti-war. Telling the liteners how much people actually suffer but those are not the things we see.

Meritocracy
Meritocracy is an elite group of people whose progress is based on ability and talent rather than on class privilege or wealth. During the time of segregation meritocracy was the complete opposite. People had a bigger opportunity in progress due to their social class and wealth which mostly involved white people. Colored perople did not have nearly half as much of privalage and opportunity as the white. Whether it was in school or at work. In A Class Divided, where the students perform better on the phonics task when they are in the group labeled superior than when those same students are in the group designated as inferior. Is an example of meritocracy, although it may be true people dont have the same mind set while working with the superior or the inferior group. I believe that you shouldnt set your mind on how far or how much you will achive according to the people around you. That should be a personal goal whether your are working with the best or the worst.

I am poem
I am different
I wonder if they know how I feel
I hear the anger in their voices
I see the rage in their eyes
I want to be accepted
I am different
I pretend i'm okay
I feel scared
I need to be strong
I worry I will fail
I cry everyday
I am different
I undrstand I am not the same
I believe in faith
I dream of a change
I try to be optimistic
I hope it will all pay off
I AM DIFFERENT
I wonder if they know how I feel
I hear the anger in their voices
I see the rage in their eyes
I want to be accepted
I am different
I pretend i'm okay
I feel scared
I need to be strong
I worry I will fail
I cry everyday
I am different
I undrstand I am not the same
I believe in faith
I dream of a change
I try to be optimistic
I hope it will all pay off
I AM DIFFERENT

There were a couple of races that i was not able to survey because none of the people i was able to ask these questions were neither of those races. Out of all the people i surveyed most of the people were hispanic because it was my family or close friends parents which are hispanic. All the people graduated high school and most college there was not much of a difference and the couple of people that didnt graduate from college did have reasonable reason for doing so. Our disscussion in class was about the white people having a greater advantage and i agree with that but in my survey it may look diffrent due to the fat tat most of the people i survayed where hispanic.

TV!
It was n my drafts i didnt click post SORRY!
Many people dont realize how much television influences EVERTYHING we do. May sound a little exxagerated but its true. Television is one of the best ways for companies to sell their products. As such a larger group of consumers in America we want everything we see. Commercials are what mostly influence us. All the commercials about gum, shoes, cars, toys, phones etc. Make every generation want to spend their money on that product. Television also influences us in very positive ways such as donating for a special cause such as the kids in other countries, animals, or children fighting against cancer. Some things shown on tv are not always a positive influence, for example some reality shows that are just about partying and getting wasted teens watch that and get influenced by others actions, same way a song or a video game influences people in the wrong way tv shows have an even greater effect.
