Freedom Rider

I think Kony 2012 is great related issue with group taking action like Freedom Riders did to make a change. Members of Kony 2012 have got together to capture Kony, who kidnaps children and abuse them sexually or make them children soldiers, and free the children who were under his control and abused badly. The overall idea of Kony 2012 is that if many people gather and protest government would take an action to satisfy people and support of  government would fasten the capturing of Kony.
If Hollywood attempted to make a film of Freedom Riders it of course would be seen by much more people and more people would get to know the events about Freedom Riders.   Hollywood can provide better setting of film and more clear video than documentary. Also because Hollywood is movie making base the film would be more interesting but it would not able to give same emotions and ideas as documentary. Because the film would be "made" or "fake" even though it has great quality, actors, and environment. On the other hand documentary is not as qualified as film though it delivers what Freedom Riders wanted to deliver because it is based on the fact, there is no exaggeration, and include real (or direct) words of Freedom Riders.

Children should be respected but stay strictly. Children are immature and innocent. It is important to set their mind about what is right and wrong because they are so innocent they can end up with totally twisted concept. At the same time parents should respect their children as one independent human being. Children should learn from parents and be independent at the same time. Because children is the future it is important to set them correctly, teach them to be independent, and also not limit their ability by forcing them to do something.  It is also very important to give them a free because if that child had do what his or her parents told him or her to do during his or her entire life he or she would not be able to stand on himself or herself. It is always complicated for the parents to raise children because they cannot predict every action of children. Even though parents have to give children freedom but also they have duty to keep children secure because children do not have enough power to keep themselves safe. Parents have to find the ability of children. Without help from parents' help children would have difficulties finding their interest and ability. The environment of children affects children in many different ways. Sometimes children who lived with alcoholic parents would become alcoholic or end up totally opposite. I agree with the way Atticus teaches Jem and Scout. He respect them but strict about things that he think is wrong or harmful to them. When he was asked to answer the questions he never give them random answers or avoid to answer but give them specific definitions and explains them what is going on. He also tries to be the person he wants Jem and Scout to be. One time he said that he would not be able to tell Jem and Scout unless he is doing what he think is right. As a reader I learned many things from Atticus and pretty sure why To Kill A Mockingbird one of the books that people should read at least once in their life time.

To Kill a Mocking Bird

Race-relations in America are varied. The U.S. is called melting pot, meaning it is composed of plethora of ethical groups. It is impossible this huge melting pot has no conflict between different racial groups. Not only American but also different racial groups have their own ethnocentrism whether it is strong or weak. Also prejudices or stereo-types still exist, such as, "she is blond." Overall race-relations look pretty stable. The conflicts between different racial groups decreased incredibly. Especially, in the U.S., the country with myriad of immigrants pouring into the country every day, people would have become used to new faces. Even the begin of the U.S. history started from immigrates. In my shoes, the reason there were strong racism over African-American was not only they were brought to continent as slaves but also the fact old settlers came before African-American whether it was their decision or not. To add to that people wanted to be better than others that are why people demeaned other racial group, to look better than rest of groups. It is always hard to define a relation between different groups because maybe their overall relation looks just fine but maybe deeper insight would not be as great as it is seen. Even with all conflicts and problems seen the melting pot is heating up just fine, melting all different material as one. Many people would seen the U.S. as peaceful and stable coutry. It might not but it is seen that way. As an immigrants I hope this peace last long.
