Hey guys welcome to my blog. As you interact with the various sites, videos and other media, I want you to be aware of the focus of discrimination. I stared with current day issues such as obesity and gay rights, and connected them with issues of the past such as black civil rights and the holocaust. While you search through my blog, I want you to keep in mind the connections each issue has with one another. I want you to consider how obesity issues of today connects with the civil rights movement of the past. How are they the same? How are they different? The purpose of this blog is to get you to realize that discrimination comes in all forms and affects all people. I want you to understand that discrimination occurs in many forms and that it is being transformed to affect new groups of people. Consider why it is important to remember the effects discrimination had on past victims and how can we try to prevent discrimination in the future. I hope you enjoy my blog! Also, there is a link to a holocaust video. To get there, click on "Older Posts" at the bottom of the page.
