Thanks Fletcher !

     This unit has really been a big eye opener. This unit has made me realize that so many things play a part in the way we think. Since we are babies we are already being labeled with colors, blue is for boys and pink is for girls. Although im sure parents don't intentionally mean to teach sexism they do but only because that's just how they grew up and what they were taught, but we can change that. I for one want to influence my nephews and niece to always strive to be the best and treat people equally. I want to teach them not to judge someone by how they look but to define them by the actions they make, and not be stereotypical. Everything around us sends subliminal messages on what genders should act and be in society and anything out of the norm is shun and looked down upon. This unit has made me realize that we can be the one who breaks the cycle and not try to create a perfect society because no one is perfect and no one person is the same, similar maybe but not the same. Everyone is their own individual with thoughts of their own. I just wanted to thank Mrs. Fletcher for having us read those articles and have us collaborate on that group essay and each get the opportunity to share what we think. I thought it was pretty cool and something I never expected to do. I personally didn't think it was going to be fun or easy but it was and I enjoyed doing it.
