The social Awareness Project!

In Ms. Galang's class, we are intrepreting the social issues going on around us. We are doing topics on social pressure (bullying, suicide, ect.), social conciousness ( Am I doing what I can do to help society? Am I giving my all? ect.) Acceptance Vs. Intolerance ( do I who is accepted and who isn't? ect.)

I think This a very important topic of study, becuase as what we call it, awereness, it helps us keep aware of what need to be done to make us a better person. So was supposed to keep a five day diary and writea reflection at the end about the social issues that are on the news all DONE.

UNIVISION DAY # 1
Today, I researched the 6pm news. Theree were many6 important issues. One of the most important ones were the new pollution announce down.  One of the states mostly affected is florida, becuase of it's constant tourism. And even though New York is artificial, Florida is catching up; and that's not a good thing. I can't exactly imagine having people paying a little more attention to their surroundings.  People should be capable of understanding that we are all not healthy becuase of the fumes polluting the air. Even though cases have been more severve around 2005, in 5 years, we haven't made much process. We should all be able to take part in this. Advances have been made; all we need to do is apply them. Maybe if we walked or took the bus, the train, cars wouldn't be used as much,and their fumes would be less. There are people who haven't been on the train since they've gotten their cars. And those are days, weeks, months, and even a few years.  The U.S. shouldn't have to be in these conditions. I am sure we can all make a difference. We can all do one little thing to make it better. Even if it's just ONCE. It makes a difference. If things continue upright, making porgress with our oppurtunities, we'll all be safe. But if we keep our spoiled ways, who knows, maybe the world will end in 2012.....

TELEMUNDO DAY # 2
Today, I experimented watching another channel news. I wondered if the time the reports we're given in affected the imformation expressed on the television. I guess it does, though. Anyways, but I keep on hearing about police officers bullying, killing people just to descriminate people's race. We are all equal. Even  if we are all different skin colors, and different voices, different opinions... we are all the same. we're all humans, and we all make mistakes. And I keep that as one of my life themes, it really sticks out to me. But I still don't get why this is causing karma; and yet, it does. But it's kinda hard, becuase this is one of the first problems that emerged and evolved, and still it continues. And at a point, ti divided the nation. This is a case where we have to conscious of the things that we are doing in life, to get through others. Since we'll survive.

TELEFUTURA DAY # 3
Based on the issue that I saw yesterday, which was racism, descrimination.  Tommorow, i'm planning on checking fox news and in other languages to find some differences. But the topic that had me glied to the tv today was the immigration statuses. Just becuase people weren't born here, doesn't mean that they shouldn't fit in. Just because they don't speak the same language, doesn't mean they don't fit in. It reminded me of a book that I read last year for spanish. It helped me recognize that even books are transmitting messages of laws that should be chnaged. Descrimination can also be felt all over. And it's pretty sad that some of the people that can be recognized as the smartest of group, may not be able to study, or go to school, just becuase they are not legal. It may not be that they have commited crimes, but they are considered evil, and i don't think that it would construct the pure principles of life. Making life harder for others. landing stress on points that are sensitive. Now, things may be going from bad to worse.

FOX DAY # 4
Today, I saw that issues are been fought for. But, I am not sure that things ase gonna continue for the better. It's confusing, because everything kinda changes for the topics, and all topics realte to one anither so it's not easy. But today I am focusing on the economy. The jobs are being restored by 22% atleast, and we are still suffering from economic depression. This is a social problem because it is affecting all people. all classes.  The richest are on bankruptcy.  President Obama is doing many things to change our surroundings and our problems. We should all care and take in account the actually currency that we have. Atleast things that we actually know that can be changed, drastically over the years. it's been a year in terrible conditions, but for other it is atleast sustainable now.

ABC DAY # 5
Nothing new today on the news.... I think i've covered all the issues that mean alot to me, that somehow i see going on, and I can relate to, in such ways, but yet my opinion didn't cover bullying, assault, terrorism, ect. Things that are happening simply out of no where. but atleast our staff of duty knows what to do and knows we can chnage thinks so while people are getting ran over, the police already knows who did it. All we have to do is be responsible for our actions, other than that I think that we're good.... As long ans nothing bad happens from us, we're fine. But as long as they are not natural disaster we'll all be good.

I think this has been a great expirience toward the main goials of helping us learn about being socially aware. Hopefully, this is helful information that we can all learn from :)
