I am very glad I showed up to the library this afternoon. It was a very moving and informative presentation about women's rights and the hard work they put in to achieve it. It's sad that in our society or our society in general has generally been viewed as second class citizens. Many women have achieved feats equal to that of their male counterpar t. Many women came together in 1917 and created the National Women's Party. This party was very influential In American history. This gave women an outlet or a voice to change the old ways of thinking and prove their equal status to man. Many women were beaten by their husbands and sometimes raped because they would come home under the influence of alcohol. Which caused them to develop behaviors that financially and morally affected their family. This helps sparks women's role in the prohibition movement. This act alone showed women's ability to participate actively in politics. Not too long after that, women got the right to vote in 1920, a civil right that was long overdue. This was one huge milestone for women's rights in America. There are many still many achievements left to be made, but it wi happen slowly and surely.
To me the next frontier is equal treatment in the work force. This can positively affect women and negatively at the same time. They will have to be treated as any other worker and no special treatment. At the same time that respect is earned in that process. In my opinion women already deserve respect and equality in the work place. I would also lime to see women play a more vital role in politics. There are few prestigious female politicians such as ex-secretary Ri ce and Hilary Clinton. I think this is a good sign for what's to come in the future. We need to change our cultural views so eventually this discussion will be a thing of the past. It's all about how we act.
I'm not a very lucky person, trying to do my home homework has been a disaster. The Internet in my area is out and have been to multiple houses trying to find some sort of source of Internet. I eventually found my friends iPhone and is currently using his data to type this for class. What sucks for me though is that I have a smartphone but is worthless because it is broken. I really dislike android system phones; they are too fragile and mulfunction easily. I need to get an iPhone because without one I would not have been able to submit this blog tonight. It's so hard to type on a digital keyboard rather than a physical because my fingers are big. So I hope I get a good grade on this blog. Onto other news I really enjoyed the discussion we had in class. I liked the argument over women's rights and their roles in society. I think history reflects how we view a woman's role in society as less than equal of a male. Even black males got the right to vote before women in the post civil war era. But I do believe women are playing a much more vital role in society and have been liberated from the common housewife role. Even though hip hop and pop culture try to reflect that the only important aspects of a woman are their looks and promiscuity. I think society as a whole is getting better though. People just need to realize that alot of the stuff is slander and they need to make the choice of whether they support the music or not. Some people's values are more important than the music they listen to. The time is slipping away from me, it is so difficult for me to type that I do not know if I have enough time to submit the other blog even though the presentation in the library was very moving and informative.

I like the video we watched in class. It shows the real side
of the meat industry and dog pound. I believe the way we handle these animals
is in humane and wrong. There should be a way to improve the conditions. I'm
still going to eat as much meat as I want. Hamburgers and steaks are just to
good to give up. I do my part though, I work with the Cherokee county humane
society. I love working and helping these dogs. It’s sad to me how some of
these animals have lived and that their owners have abandoned them. I think
every dog deserves a home and any dog can be rehabilitated. Animals are pure
and innocent in my eyes, people shape them depending on their attentions. My
dog personally would give her life for me. She has always loved me
unconditionally and will always love me. I treat her like family, she even
sleeps with me. She is pretty big though, she is a 115 pound German shepherd.
She thinks she is a lap dog at times. The only thing is, she isn't socialized,
this causes me many headaches. She doesn't like people and is very territorial.
She is dog friendly though. It’s amazing how smart she is, she opens doors and
keeps watch over the house. That is a bad combo when you have friends over and
you don't want them to get bit. She is always on look out, and defends the
house very well. So people need to be cautious, no one walks in to my house
without me checking to see if my dog is loose. Its funny because I want to
adopt a pit bull too. I think my friends are never going to come over any more.
It’s all good though, I need a break from time to time.

Spring break
I hate how some of my professors give out weird internet
assignments. I guess I just don't see the point in it. I guess I'm just
complaining because I'm tired and ready for spring break. It’s So near, just
one more day of class and I'm done. I only have one class tomorrow and It's
Sociology. I do have a test but I'm very confident that I will be ok. I love studying
sociology, I took Sociology in High school. I took AP Psychology too, so now I
have to get college credit for Sociology. I'm doing very well in that class, I
know this because He has statistical breakdown for Tests. I can See where I
rank in the class by looking at his chart. I just need to improve my grade in
this class and it will be smooth sailing from here on out. I always try to do
as much as I can in a day. I cook, clean go to work, school, and try to keep a
social life. I think I do a pretty good job balancing it all out. I Know I let
this class slip a little too much. That’s why I have to give up something, so I
can better myself as a student. Its weird that we are half way through this
semester already, Its flying by fast. I really hope I did well on your midterm.
If I did maybe I can build some more momentum for me here on out. I Really just
want to finish the semester strong. Because my goal is to eventually transfer
out of this college. I would like to go to Florida State University, That is my
favorite school. I would have the time of my life there. That is motivation
enough to keep me focused.

Its my Blog, so I sha'll atempt to entertain you. First of all noticed the picture, it looks like this particular person is trying to send a message. Assuming this person in the picture is Native American, Then I think he is making a point about living conditions. If he is not Native American, he needs to quit doing drugs. Its just not good for your health to do drugs. Every drug takes a toll on your body, and your mind. Now back to him maybe being native American, I think this picture might be an Indian Reservation. The man is dressed up in his yellow feathered attire and looks lively. He kind of looks like Big Bird. I think this picture reflects a deeper meaning, he looks lively while his enviroment sucks.This guy has a positive outlook on life. I honestly Think this shows the spirit of their people. Being able to endure so much and keep going. Having that inner strength to not give up. The power with in keeps them going. Then I found it was for mardi gras, This killed the idea of that for me. Now I think I'm just an idiot. I know I'm not though.

My favorite class is political science. I Love that class,
Political science was my original major. My current major now is physical
therapy. When I was in highs school I was amazing in every social studies
class. I had Ap Government, AP Economy, AP Word History, AP European History,
and Honors American History, and a current issues classes when I was in highs chool.
I love American History, and American Govrnment the most. I love how our
country was founded on certain freedoms. I love how their was a struggle
between Federalist and Anti Federalist to make the constitution. The fact the
Anti Federalist fought for a bill of rights for the people. The Bill of rights
have proven needed over and over again through our history. We Citizens have
our part to make sure that our rights our uphelded by our government. This was
my basis for wanting to be a politician. I wanted to make my way up the ranks
and be part of the United States Congress. I just wanted to vote for the right
things in legislation. Be honest to who I am. Prevent pork Barrel Legislation
just so I could be re-elected. To do things for the better for our government.
See our whole voting process to pass a bill in congress is out of whack.
Everybody has their party affiliation and doesn't want to put a bi-partisan
effort to get things done. Instead everyone scratches each others back to vote
a certain way. I wanted to never let lobbyist, local pressure, campaign
boosters, or party affiliation get in my way. I eventually came to the
realization that I had no chance of achieving that. Political parties killed
our country, It causes us to settle for mediocrity. We Settle for a compromise
that can’t fix our problems. This is why I changed my major.
