This blog is a result of many students wishing to delve into topics lightly discussed due to curricular demands but would like to investigate further. I am fortunate to teach students who want to challenge conventional wisdom and seek further discourse as a way to empower themselves to help shape the world they live in.

Inspirational Video
This was sent to me by a student (Amber ty) and I thought it more than worthy of blogging. Take a look, so much in it, how does it connect to social and you? Love to hear your responses. The video can be found here.
this video made me reflect about my life and how things have changed ever since i was a kid. its contents make me realize that as infants, you are pure but as you grow older,u begin to get more corrupted and a characteristic inside you starts to develop; that characteristic is greed. without greed, it is undeniably a fact that everyone would be able to live in peaceful coexistence. but as technology advances, so does people's desire to be on top. i believe that this video is outlining the concept of exploitation as it includes many phrases that hint the fact that people are being used. from my perspective, i strongly agree that people are being exploited. within groups/organizations/gangs that are operate on the basis of hate, lies a center. that center is an individual, a leader or a group of leaders that call the shots. these individuals are the core of our problem. they influence people into merging with their ideology by feeding them a bunch of bullcrap which makes them take their side. this statement isnt just seen in groups that operate with hate, it is also seen in governments around the world.the people that call the shots and wage war on others.
