Idiot Nation

This article is what I called being honest. Michael Moore talks about the education system here in the United States. Also talks about how some of the people that are in charge of the nation are not smarter than us. In this paper he sets a lot of samples and gives a lot of names without been afraid. So it makes it more real like he really means what he is saying that he stands behind his word. For this article I won't have called an Idiot Nation because if this nation was full of Idiots it wouldn't be one of the most powerful countries in the world. The article mentions a lot of things I already thought where happening is kind of obvious. I personally don't know a lot of the answers to the question he mention in the article. It is sadly that the education is like it is. In our life time is not only important to know about what is happening at the moment, but is good to know and recognize what others in our past have done for this nation. I am from Colombia and when I was younger I went to school there and I remember that I had homework everyday on every single subject. For an exam there wasn't any multiple choice, so I had to study like crazy. Also by six grade I was starting to see chemistry & physics it was nuts and really hard. When I moved to the United States I was happy that I got to choose my classes and that school was a lot easier. So from the reading it makes me realize that what he is saying is true. Education is important at any age because it will make us what we are. Also is not fair what teachers are paid its sad. what is worst is that with the salary that teachers make they sometimes have to buy supplies for them and for their students. Some people blame teachers for their children lack of education, but the truth is that everything starts at home.

Looking for work & what we miss about the 1950's

Looking for work by Gary Soto tells the story about a boy that want to imitate what he sees on TV and the story about his family. What we really missed about the 1950's is an article that compares the present with the past. The culture of the American family is kind of similar to what it was in the past. Some people try to imitate what they watch on TV thinking that they see is real or could bring them happiness. Some people make their lives miserable because they can't have something or be like someone else. A family is composed by a dad, mom and children, marriage is not a fairy tale. To have a successful marriage it needs to be worked on every day. Its like a plant if you don't add water to it, it dies. Understand each other and respect each other. What is most interesting about the first reading is about this boy that from an early age he is already about having money, the only good things is that he knows that he has to work to accomplish this. People that really succeed in life have to give a long fight, make a lot of sacrifices, takes a long time and work hard. Also by imitating whats on tv its sadly that he feels that he could be accepted by this. In my opinion the some problems about race have changed, but not complete. A lot of people are judged of where they are from or how much money they have. So if someone doesn't like you, sometimes unless you are perfect on one of my previous statement, people won't accept you no matter what. From the second reading about the 1950's people wanted to have or pretend to have the perfect family. Some families where together, but unhappy. Maybe this article didn't talk about racism directly, but there was a discrimination against women. What is interesting about this article is that women started to realize that they could work and they where more valuable that what men gave them credit for. Times for women have changed and will always continue to change. Because women are more respected and heard. Things are going to continue to change and for women for the better.
