Final Blog

I feel that I have learned alot from this class. It has defenitely been way too much to sum up in one blog post but I will try. The most important lesson that I learned is being aware is not enough. You have to understand where people come from and take the time to learn about other cultures and ethnicities through research and personal experiences with others. You have to care enough about a problem or something to want to make a change. Unfortunately, not everyone is going to be passionate or care about the subject, but you never know when you may be able to influence someone or change their mind.

How many people in your life do you know that really want and try to make a difference daily? Show others how to make a difference. Take the time to get to know someone that you don't know and learn a few things about the way they live their life. You may not want to partake in it or you may belive in it but it will help you understand how this person thinks and where they come from in situations which will make the work place a lot easier.

Explain to your children that it is okay if other students in the classroom are different and that they should get to know others who aren't like them. When they are olderm encourage them to research the truth about other races and as questions. Be open minded to them so that they can learn to be open minded throughout their lives.

You may not see the direct effect of your actions because the problem involving race will take a lot more then just you to help fix it, but every action is a little step closer to a goal. You will have a bigger impact then you think you will.
