Is it ever justifiable to treat people differently based on race, religion, gender, handicaps, etc.? Think about all situations No because people are equal and it has proven to be against morality about judging people based on race, religion, gender, or handicaps. To discriminate people based on race is clearly not justifiable because we human beings cannot decide which race stands higher social class than other races. Every single person has thoughts and opinions that the society should hear. Judging people by religion is also against morality. There are numerous religions that exist in the world. Even the religions should expect each others. For example, a certain religion should not think that everyone else who do not believe in their religion shall go to hell. I strongly think this is wrong because as other people respect his/her religion, that certain religion should respect other religions as well instead of criticizing it. In addition, people should help the handicaps. They should have some privileges. Being a handicap means the person has a disabled ability compare to other people. For example, there is a separate parking space for handicaps.

Journal: Read quote on page 929. What does this tell you about the risks and resistance Black activists faced in working to get the vote. Is it worth it? What would you do in this situation? Many African Americans fought for equal treatment and voting right. They eventually gained what they wanted, but it also caused so many sacrifices. White soldiers/policeman/and even the normal white Americans on the street looked down at African Americans. As soon as they see an African American on the street, they would cruelly treat them badly whatever the action the African Americans take. If I were in this situation, I would've been extremely scared to even go outside on the street. If I saw my relative in the middle of the street, I would have ignored them but would have took care for them behind the eyes of white Americans. Those people who stood up in the crowd to make change was a great action where bravery is necessary.

4.15.09 The covers of the Life Magazine depicted the two sides of the Unites States of American during the Vietnam War. Some do the pictures show how brutal and cruel the US soldiers were. However, most of the pictures depicts the honorable, loyal, and responsible US soldiers. One of the picture is about two US soldiers helping an another US soldier who is injured. The two of the carry the injured one although the environment looks harsh and both of them looks tired. Pictures of bomb and innocent injured Vietnamese children shows how brutal the US soldiers were. I understood why there were so many antiwar protests against the Vietnam War.

5.12.09 How can you keep authority figures honest? What do you do if an authority figure in your life is abusing their power? To keep authority power honest, people surrounding the authority power should be honest to the authority figures first. If an authority figure in my life is abusing their power, it means that I am living in a communist country. There nothing that I can do about it. Although communism is said, equality amongst all citizens. However, even though all the citizens are equal, when only the authority figure has the absolute power, there is no meaning to be equal, to be communist.
