In reply to: Nadeen Kharputly edited the blog post Week 10 responses in the group Ethnic Diversity and the City: Hi everyone, Please reply to this thread with your responses (150-300 words) to this week’s r […] ViewThis week we watched and discussed Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing”, which is one of the most detailed and thought-out movies I have ever watched. Something I really appreciated about the discussion this week was the fact that everyone had something different to say about the movie, but it all was adding to a similar bigger picture. The most strik…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewThis week we read and discussed agreeably one of the most prevalent crisis’ America is facing right now- refugees. After reading the article about the 5 things to know about refugees, I began to think about how contradictory America shows the token “refugee.” I did not know that each refugees’ case has to fit the definition of “any person wh…[Read more]

Some g […] ViewThis week we read and discussed the controversial topic of sanctuary cities. Being from the Bay Area, where we are so extremely populated with immigrates who work so hard to have a decent life in America, this hit home for me. The closest city to me is San Francisco, which is interesting because of how unstable the SFPD seems to be. This got me…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewThis week we learnt about immigration and why it’s such a controversial topic. What I found shocking was how desperate the so called patriot Americans and neo-Nazis are when it comes to immigration and the fight for power and resources. I always knew that white America was scared and threatened by immigration because they are terrified of being t…[Read more]

On one hand reading about murders and death being justified by being in bad company or the “wrong place at the wrong time” was extremely saddening, and on the other hand I was affected personally by the class’s discussion about other people’s hometown becoming…[Read more]

Some guidelines for f […] ViewThis week really opened my perspective on certain things that our class brought up such as America having to need someone to blame and make a scapegoat, and why privileged people/ white people are so afraid of change- especially when it is being made by minority groups. The idea of patriotic Americans needing a scapegoat really resonated with me…[Read more]

Personally, something that I found striking was a comment made that related to the Chinatown article when someone in class commented on the difference between an immigrant who is white (European) vs. a nonwhite…[Read more]

Some g […] ViewThe two articles that I found thought provoking this week are “What Makes a ‘Resilient’ City? For Tulsa’s Chief Resilience Officer; It’s People” and “Can a City Be Compassionate?” What I found interesting was the contradiction of what the speaker in each article is saying versus what they are encouraging unknowingly, and how external factor…[Read more]
