Love and be Loved

Growing up in the 80's made me feel privileged to not have seen slavery and the impact of it on society. just reading about the lost rights made me feel ashamed for some reason, although i had nothing to do with it. god made us for a reason and for man kind to try to judge other on their raice, skin tone or even where we come from is beyond me. i may sound like a hippie but, love and be loved for who you are. treat people the way you want to be treated and the world will be a better place.

Chapter 2

In reading this chapter, there’s one thing that really grabbed my attention. Not because it’s a major event but I feel that history is repeating itself in a scenes. Reasons to why Europeans left their lands raised a big flag to me and made me really wonder, could this happen again?

First, taxes were really high on them and at one point it became hard on them to live a healthy life style. Comparing it to the present, the rich is getting richer and the poor is going poorer with all the tax policies and people are being pushed out of their houses, jobs, and pretty much everything.

70-80% of the European were peasants, you may not see it the way I do. However, some of us are “slaves” to our jobs, superiors, Gov., or who ever provide the cash at the end of the day. Also, with the baby boomers and population rapidly increasing, its getting harder and harder to find fair opportunities and in the Europeans situation they were pushed out of their lands and properties by the property clam movement. People started to lose their living spaces and were pushed out to their point where there was no place to live. When you think about this part, I really feel like you can easily relate to it. Big corporations are pushing people out of their houses, apartments, and the rent controlled areas to get more money out of it. So where do the people go?

To me it made me fear what is the future holding. Reading and understanding past generations and their dilemmas makes me really think, what about us?

Chapter 1

american indian. a term that some may conceder offensive but in my case, i really don't understand why. the author goes back and fourth with the term native and indian american in this chapter however, its just a title or a stamp that doesn't really matter in my opinion. names and labels are not what make who we are. time changes, and what used to be acceptable 10 years ago, may not be now. why would that be?
