BA 11:what i learned this year

i learned alot of “stuff” this semester. the first day befor class started i learned to read the class room move sign before you walk into parent phycoligy or what ever it was. it was not all of it was that important, the gold standerd for instence (im still not sure who right on that one). i also learned alot about different writers and speakers. i never really understood the power of M.L.K.’s words untill i was writing paper 1 and watched afew of his speechs.

i didnt aperciate short essays as being a means to inspire or drive creativity. At the start of the class i thought short essay was another word for tranquilizer. i have since found that it is possible to not only stay awake threw a short essay but to enjoy reading it. i have learned that even short essays focusing on silly things like moths, humming birds, or rivers. can hold great knowledge and be very interesting. i have learned abit about writing papers and how they never seem to come out as well if u procrastinate or dont have more then 1 person edit. i know understand why you would outline a paper. i also learned how to brain storm in more then one way. from this class i have learned to make my writing a little less dry. ive learned that 2 hours and 45 min is much longer then my attention span .

guys suck?

“Ur a asshole!” those were the last words I yelled at my ex-boyfriend before stomping out of the room. He was the most juvenile self obsessed jerk I have ever know.. Not to say that most men are any better. They are all a mix of immature, driven by sex, don’t understand our feelings, lazy, and don’t understand that a good time doesn’t revolve around drinking sports and guy friends.
My ex-boyfriend was the kind of guy that would laugh at his own fart. The problem wasn’t only that he had the since of humor of a kid in middle school but. when I wanted to casually have dinner with my friend and her boy friend the boys snuck of to watch “the game”. I cant even have a casual dinner with friends because he thinks that’s boring and that the game is more important then the 4 of us spending time. The last time he was suppose to plan a romantic evening I came home expecting to have a romantic evening he had his friends over and was grill burgers and hot dogs. Responsibility was not his strong point either if I didn’t nag that man to death he probably wont ever do what had to be done.
Have u ever noticed that when you are at the club the girls with the lowest cut out fits always have a guy trying to dance on them or that when guys are being helpful and good for a hole day they expect some thing in the bed room that night. I’ve figured out this is because guys have one single soul purpose in life SEX. Its what drives them its what gets them up in the morning. Most guys don’t brush there teeth because they need to keep there teeth health to eat or to avoid the dentist most do it because a girl like a pretty smile. Why do guys do to a gym? Its not to stay fit… if you want to stay fit run around the block a few times. They go to the gym because they want to look sexier. Its not totally there fault its why the human race survives because people are genetically hard wired to want sex so that they can make babies so the species will survive or there family name or what ever dads are telling there sons these days.
I’m not sure if they don’t know what to do when they see negative emotion, if they just don’t care or if they just don’t understand basic human interaction. Either way if you are crying or in a bad mood or depressed don’t expect them to know what to do. I was actually tickled till I stopped crying when my dog ran away. Tickled seriously that’s almost as dump as me kicking u in the junk because your hyper sure it may get you to calm don’t but its not the right way to do it. Come on read a love novel or something! Also if a girl is hurting from something don’t be that macho guy. We all know you are capable of pretending to be a stud (even thought your not) and sure that great when you are with your buds but if there is serious emotional problems it is ok to not be many for a little while your junk isn’t going to shrivel up I promise.
Men are capable of being very lazy. They can spend all weekend laying around on the couch watchen tv and not being proactive. I know pretty much ever girl that has lived with a guy has had 2 deal with this. Guys leaving the toilet seat up… really how hard is it 2 just put it back down. Or when they leave there under wear on the floor when they go to take a shower. It just doesn’t seem that hard to fix but it seems to be a skill lost on most men and it pure lazyness and forgetfullness. Even when they go and try to help out around the house they do a half ass job. Us women don’t expect an ocd kind of clean but put in some serious effort please!
Men and women have a totally different idea of fun. Women enjoy social and cultural activitys and men love drinking “socialy” and flexing there egos with other men. The root of the problem is girls and guys have fun in different ways*add more* *develop*
Guys and girls have different goals thought processes and idea of fun. They are not motivated by the same thing and they don’t really fully understand each other but in the end they always seem to find a way to make it work (for alittle while at least). *add more*

I think I just wrote a feminist hate speech :’(

final paper 1

Copy cat?
Barack Obama and Martin Luther King Junior created waves of change that have shaped the world and made them infamous. Both men became figure heads in their time and provided a vision for the world.  Martin Luther King Jr is the most famous black American in our history and until recently there has been no black man who has come close to his accomplishments. Barrack Obama, however, shares some similarities to King. The most obvious of these is that both men grew up poor and black. Both men share dreams of making the world fairer for all regardless of race or religion. In addition, both men believed that their current wars should end and that peace should be pursued. Is this enough, however, to link both men? Does the fact that Obama ran and won the Presidency compare to the moral accomplishments of Dr. King? History will be the ultimate judge of this but I would like to take a closer look at their similarities.

These men’s past in no way parallel each other except in the hardships they faced as children. Both men devoted there lives to trying to help people and make the world a better place.  Martin Luther King Jr. was a minister and devoted his entire life for the betterment of humanity.  Obama has also dedicated his life to society by his commitment to politics. Both men also have the great gift of rhetoric. They both look to lift up the poor and the oppressed through their powerful words and their delivery. They both try to further race relations between not just blacks and whites but with all people everywhere. MLK and Obama share a belief that in order to achieve peace, all men and women regardless of race and religion, should be treated equally.

Martin Luther King Jr. advocated strongly that the war in Vietnam should end immediately.  Similarly, Obama shares the same belief regarding the war in Iraq.  They’re reasons differ but they’re linked forever in their belief that war should be avoided and peaceful resolutions should be sought. MLK believes that nonviolence is always the right answer and that America is being
arrogant. Obama and MLK both agree that war is bad because of the financial draw from the nation. MLK sees that the government spends far more on killing people in other countries then taking care of the sick and the poor. Obama understands that the 1 trillion dollars that have already been spent on the war will have a negative effect the next generations. Obama feels the world’s view of the United States is directly affected by our world position of dominance and control in areas other than our own. Both men see how it hurts the young men and women that fight the war.

One of the most striking resemblances are that both men gave moving and thought provoking speeches. These men’s rhetoric is so powerful that they inspire moved and sparked a nation into action. They would draw crowds of tens of thousands of people to here them speech and there words would often evoke strong emotions or tears. MLK won the Nobel peace prize for his work with civil rights. Kings movement and ideals had an effect on the president they were so huge. Obama was just elected to be president of the united states and had one of the largest inaugural address crowds in a long time. He is the first African American to be president. MLK helped shape the history of this great nation and many think that in the next few year Obama will do the same.

History will be the judge of whether Obama ends up mirroring the life of Martin Luther King Jr.  At this point, the similarities are superficial.  Both men are brilliant orators that have a unique gift to inspire and motivate.  MLK Jr. was able to back up his speeches with moral character and a willingness to motivate change.  Barack Obama, on the other hand, has been a life long politician with dreams and goals that have yet to be realized.  It is clear, that Obama admires the ideals of MLK Jr. and in order for the comparison to be complete, his accomplishments and a life of selflessness will have to be lived
