Highway Sixteen

What was highway sixteen about? High Sixeen was an odd somewhat boring story to me. In this short story the author told about his young childhood neighborhood. Due to the story was so long I so totally unable to complete reading the story.

But from the parts that i read it seems as if the boy is living in a figurtive of his on imgination. Maybe it was just a little bit of exggeration but for the most part truth. Or maybe than again I could be wrong.

Self Respect

Self respect is vital to having a healthy life. I believe that many people have no respect for themselves today. Which is so important to grow and mole yourself into a successful emotionally stable being. Alot of problems in today's society start simply from people not having self respect, because if they did they wouldn't do the things that they do or consider themselves a lot of things that they do without having any knowledge of what they are calling each other without knowing the history or meaning of words.
In order to have a healthy mind, body, and soul you need to take the time out to give your body the respect that it needs and deserve. The body is a temple which needs time out to be exercised. Not just physically but intellectually which helps to put a person on the right path for self respect. I think if more indulge in respecting themselves then the world would be a happier place and would start respecting others.

Pangea Day

What is Pangea Day, is it necessary? Pangea Day is an new event where as the whole world comes together through film. Prehaps this is neccesary maybe its not? To me this whole world is divided not just communities or contients. I feel as if someone wants to put towards an effort to try an bring together unity I support that.
If people enjoy all of the programs it might countie and be effective in the world. It should have a powerful effect on the world and people in a sense bringing them together in unity. If this conutines it should send out a powerful message.

Being In The Box

What is discrimination to start with? Discrimination is being prejudice towards someone or something maybe because of their race, sex, sexuality, or so much more. The lesson being in the box was to me highly the reason why people in toady's society and past have dealt with racism. This being because of the lack of courage for one to stand up for the right thing and getting pressured by others not wanting to be portrayed as an outcast.
In my life I have had to take witness to such things and to me I am applauded by how ignorant someone can be for no reason. Like in the movie Crash it showed how it is still happening and people still have to deal with it. And even as people say the U.S has come a long way over the last thirty to forty years it stills exist but has just in some cases evolved into something different and hidden until people let this hatred erupt. Which saddens me to know that before I die I will have to deal with more of it and take witness to this.
