Humanities
Humanities is a very stimulating class, and I enjoy it. I enjoy humanities because it is many classes put together. It is history, Language Arts and Reading all in one. We learn many things in humanities. Mr.Fisher is a fun teacher as well. He lets us have freedom and trusts us to do things.
Totalitarianism
In class we were handed a book with the name of Brave New World. This book was very strange. After reading this book and learning its concepts I thought this isn't too bad of a book. I didn't find it too far from the truth one bit. This world they lived in was a totalitarianism or government control of the populace. This world controlled people and wouldn't let their people ever be discomforted. Whenever they faced discomfort they turned to a drug known as Soma. This drug would take them on vacation and take all of their troubles away. I believe that this will happen to America eventually. Feel free to read my letter to the Senator on the tab next to my humanities page.
UN
We have been studying the UN. The UN stands for the United Nations. The United Nations is a system of delegates form every country that speaks for there country and there country's views and perspective. They consult on world issues in the world and how to settle these world issues. I am America and we just had a UN assembly on the Palestinian Refugee issue. The Palestinians were kicked out of Jerusalem in the six day war when the British Mandate ended. The Palestinians refused the land and went guns blazing and I believe this was not the smartest choice. It got them kicked out of their land. They caused it all so they should not be let back in. So far I am enjoying this project.
Sociology
One thing we learned was sociology. Sociology plays a big role in life for it is how we are socialized to act and how to act. Most things we have done this year are socialization. We had an exhibiton for our mask project which is on how us teen boys are socialized to act. An exhibition is where you do a big project and you show all the work you have done. Our mask project had to do a lot with socialization. My mask was on how us teen boys are socialized and thrown into categories. I believe teens are thrown into categories. I enjoyed doing this sociology project because it helped me figure out how society is and acts. |
In class as I speak we are learning about Julius Caesar. Many people believe Caesar was a tyrant but some of us believe Caesar was a Hero. That is what I believe is that he is a hero. My essay which you can find in the Essay tab of my Humanities Tab is why I believe Caesar was a hero. My Seminar went pretty well with making Caesar sound as if he was a hero. I truly believe Caesar was a hero for the time he was in. I have read all of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare as well.
