I'd like to begin saying that I successfully emailed my blog to you last night. I've never been too great with technology, so that was a plus. Secondly, I can't tell you how interested I am in your class already. In my old school, we didn't have human geography but just social studies where we covered the basics like wars and how the people of that time lived. So I hope to expand that topic and learn of different times of different people. I say I'm already interested because of the little speech you gave us today. It's so true. The conflict with our generation so far, is how people think so strongly of their opinion that they can't even stop to listen to someone who thinks differently than them. It's the same way when someone is different from them. This often happens when it comes to people being gay/lesbian or transgender. As well as religion and politics. I feel that if everyone just stopped once in a while, and saw from one another's point of view, we might understand and appreciate each other more. But people simply can't seem to do that? So how do we convince them? When we believe in something so strongly and others can't agree, it leads to strife and chaos. Here are my thoughts and I look forward to more interesting conversations in your class.
