How many times, in your life, have you met with your
opposite? Maybe not an opposite in every way. It could be things like race, or
religion. Do you click better with one race or ethnicity better than others?
Generally speaking of course. What about religion wise? Do you stick with your
religion? Hang around people with religions that are similar to yours? Or does
it not matter because you don’t discuss religion anyway. But why not? Why not
discuss it. It could better you to hear other views, it shouldn't cause a break
in any relationships. What about your day to day life, the things you eat, the
way you learn, what about all of that? When you’re in a group, do you create
your own scenarios? Say, if you were in a room without doors and windows how
would you escape. Or maybe you role-play? Here’s a history question you could
pop in there next time a lull in the conversation hits. Consider Native Americans
for a moment, how would you feel if a new people, who looked completely
different from you and talked and acted in a different way decided to lay claim
to your land? How would you consider them, act towards them?
I feel like you need more. What else should "There Goes the Neighborhood" say? Talking about what we have discussed in class and connecting it to the post is the main purpose of this. Therefore you should talk about the Native Americans and the settlers. And what conflicts could arise from differences within a community?
ReplyDeleteA little short...and full of questions. ���� But I can kind of understand what you're getting at here. When meeting people who aren't the same as you, you do take things like these into account.
