REMEMBER
Before we go any further here, has it ever occurred to any of you that all this is simply one grand misunderstanding? Since you're not here to learn anything, but to be taught so you can pass these tests, knowledge has to be organized so it can be taught, and it has to be reduced to information so it can be organized do you follow that? In other words this leads you to assume that organization is an inherent property of the knowledge itself, and that disorder and chaos are simply irrelevant forces that threaten it from outside. In fact it's exactly the opposite. Order is simply a thin, perilous condition we try to impose on the basic reality of chaos...

Welcome to blogging
There are no right answers in blogging. All I ask is that you tell me each week what you learned and how it made a difference in your life. Remember the blog is all about making 'connections'- you to the world, the material to your life, you to another person, etc. Enjoy your blog. Have fun. Post pictures to illustrate your thoughts. Your blogs will vary in length. Some weeks you will find things more interesting than others this is normal and natural. There are a few rules:
1. No names- my name, your name, friends, school etc
2. #U may not use txt language
3. Remember this is a public blog and I, your teacher, am reading it. I am a mandated reporter if I think you may hurt yourself or someone else. I am a mandated reporter if I think someone may hurt you. I am a mandated reporter if you do something to break the honor code at our school.
This is your space- I like to get to know you. We have one semester together, that's it. It's so short, but here, in your blogs, I get to listen to each of you.
"shake off the dust"
"lose your shame"
Do something you are proud of!!

As asked for I have posted my chart of what I would do if I was a student taking this class in order to do well on the paper. It is posted down below on the right by the journal. This is only for the first unit and if you only use stuff from this chart I might notice that you didn't do any of the work yourself. Our other units are:
Culture
Socialization (Family, Neighborhood, Media, etc)
Gender
Deviance
Social Class
Race

Hair
http://www.thedefendersonline.com/2009/10/16/to-chris-rock-and-beyond-reactions-responses-and-ruminations-on-%E2%80%98good%E2%80%99-hair/
Really great source for many opinions and information about a topic very interesting to me, hair. How does hair and implicit racism relate you ask? Well, we learned that good-looking people get all sorts of advantages in life and if we define 'good- looking' by a European ideal, then certain women and men are automatically excluded from the benefits of beauty.
