Blog #3(a single story)

The danger Of a Single story.  

Wow! This is so true I didn't realize how many people judge people by one thing they hear or one thing they see. And yes this is definitely something we do every day of our lives. I've never really noticed my self or others doing this until now, I do this all the time. Yes we are swayed by what we see on media, They show an african american getting arrested because of a shooting we automatically think every african american is like that. We see a white new yorker being rude and snobby toward every  person in their way and everyone thinks every new yorker is like that. Well, my whole family and I  are new yorkers but not one of us are rude and snobby. And honestly I don't think we can do anything to overcome this media is too popular and people make so much money off of gossip they will never stop that. Everyone has opinions and that will never change.

This article i found is called Church: Cuba offers 2 free prominent dissidents. This article is about about an agreement to release two prominent dissidents which basically is someone who has a very strong opinion and out put on things and can careless what someone says. So in this article  there is a man who really wants to stick up for what he thinks is right and has refused for months to accept exile in Spain. An exile is where someone is enforced to be removed from ones native country. There were two men but one did not want to stick up for his rights but the other did therefore he said he would remain in jail until ailing prisoners are free and other demands were met.  


Some of my thoughts on this article is that i would do the same thing to stick of for my rights even if there were harsh consequences. I was not aware of this at all. Also this article will not affect me at all.

A)Whats do you hope to do this semester? 

This semester in SpanishI, I would really like to learn all the basics of Spanish. Like  for example I've already learned the alphabet, how to count to ten and the days of the week. we also learned what countries speak Spanish. i guess my next goal in Spanish would be to learn how to pronounce the words better and not like pause when im saying a sentence in Spanish. 

B) what are you thoughts about blogging? have you ever done this before? how do you think his could be a useful tool? 

 some of my thoughts about blogging are that its a different way to keep up with Spanish.no i have never blogged before im not really into this kind of stuff. and i think this could be useful because we can get caught up on what were doing in class and stuff like that. 

C) is there anything you want me to know as we progress through the semester?
i am not good at Spanish at all.
