@WyattRaymond99 I definitely won't forget about this either and now I'll have more knowledge on this topic and be more educated in discussions with friends and family about this issue. #socl214

One concept from this class I will most likely use in the future/remember isn't necessarily a "concept", but it's the general subject of the class. This may sound vague, but no other class has even touched on the social justice issues in our society. #socl214

@RafaelPatience This is also what I connected on. It's almost like U.S. officials and government workers are trying to make it harder and more time-consuming to become a legal U.S. citizen. #socl214

One thing I learned after watching the video about Legal Immigration is that the immigration process takes forever. On top of that, the only way to speed it up is if you have a masters degree or PhD. It's also very expensive. #socl214

@brat_tani This being passed onto generations make total sense because most males take role after their father figures. If their father abandoned them and got locked up, then most likely that's what the son would do. #socl214

After watching the video about mass incarceration, I learned that the majority of people locked up today are black men with no high school diploma. Also, the U.S. has the highest incarceration rate by far among other countries. #socl214

@dilynn_erngren I 100% agree with this. And we do see this today, with poorer, black families being placed in industrial zones, zones with high pollution, etc. #socl214

[Joshua Bonaminio @BonaminioJoshua]

After watching the video about suburbs, I learned that the majority of white families were given loans due to the law created in the New Deal, known as redlining. #socl214

@leah65699122 This is something I connected with also. But, it doesn’t just count towards individuals who were discriminated in the past, but also in the present

[Joshua Bonaminio @BonaminioJoshua]

While watching the short film about affirmative action, I learned that while affirmative action is there to make sure everyone from every race has equal opportunities in fields such as education and work, it also allows those people to have special opportunities #socl214

@m_munger_ This is exactly what I ended up connecting to. I always thought that being stereotyped as smart would be nice.

[Joshua Bonaminio @BonaminioJoshua]

In the film, "Why do we call Asian's the model minorities?" I learned what the term "model minority" means and why it's counterproductive. It groups all Asian's into one stereotype of "smart, hardworking, etc.". It's counterproductive because it doesn't show uniqueness. #socl214

@mk7dan I connected with this as well on my tweet. I also have a personal example of being told I had privilage and thought I was just being blamed for a social justice issue

[Joshua Bonaminio @BonaminioJoshua]

After watching the short film “Why Does Privilege Make People So Angry?”, I learned that privilege can get misconstrued with placing blame on someone. I myself have experienced someone saying that I have “White Privilage” and that didn’t make me too happy but now I know #socl214

@mk7dan I also picked up on this. I never knew that people would be told that their hair is "good" because I'm not exactly sure what good hair would even be.

[Joshua Bonaminio @BonaminioJoshua]

After watching the short film "Pelo Bueno, Pelo Malo", I actually learned that hair caused hispanic, black, and Asian people stress and worrying about if their hair was good or not/if they would get made fun of because of it. #socl214

[Joshua Bonaminio @BonaminioJoshua]

@thatgirlkyra1 I 100% agree with that. Black people, along with all other races, deserve more representation in films other than stereotypical ones

[Joshua Bonaminio @BonaminioJoshua]

After watching the short film "Evolution of Black Representation in Film", I learned that throughout films ranging from somewhere between 1920's and even up to the 1990's, some films would portray blacks only as slaves, servants, criminals, etc. #socl214

[Joshua Bonaminio @BonaminioJoshua]

@AliTahhan23 This is the exact same thing I thought, and I had no clue of what it even was or meant before watching the video either

[Joshua Bonaminio @BonaminioJoshua]

After watching the short film "What is Intersectionality?", I learned what that term means and how it is used in everyday life. Intersectionality basically means that different forms of "-isms" can be present in a persons life at one time. #SOCL214
