@park_joslyn I agree with this, having to create a social movement because of their skin movement says a lot about the inequalities they face on a daily basis as it is. It really puts in perspective how unaccepting society always has been, and continues to be to this day #GS1000W2082

After learning about Black Lives Matter and Janaya Khan's discussion on it, it made me strongly consider how police, media, and society are involved with anti-black racism. Even today, there is no legitimate reason to explain why it is this way, and it is unfair #GS1000W2082

@LauraJKelly00 This was really thought provoking for me as well; men that are abusive should not only be blamed, but should take the blame themselves for what they did. It seems like any woman that accuses a man of violence is ridiculed for it, and not taken seriously #GS1000W2082

After reading the CBC article on domestic violence rising as the economy goes down in NL, I was shocked to find out the correlation between domestic violence and low incomes in a household. Just because wages are lowered, there is no need for anyone to get violent #GS1000W2082

It is unreal that there are still inequalities among different genders as it relates to work. In the video with Winnie she discussed how women are unpaid/unrecognized for doing household chores, etc.; this work is as hard as any work, why is it so underappreciated? #GS1000W2082

[Amanda Pilgrim @_amandapilgrim]

@LauraJKelly00 It's crazy how unrecognized and under appreciated women are for spending time on household chores and caregiving responsibilities; I think this type of work is just as difficult, if not more, as jobs where people are paid. It's an unfair gender role that needs change #GS1000W2082

@lcpatey I agree with this, I don't understand why this is the way it is. Why should gender impact the freedom a person has? All genders should have equal amounts of freedom, and it's interesting how the freedom between girls and boys switch like that with age #GS1000W2082

[Amanda Pilgrim @_amandapilgrim]

Listening to Gaelynn Lea's speech about disability and sexuality caused me to think. She is absolutely right when it comes to the fact that you don't see people that do not conform to common standards in media, why is it this way? Why can't just anyone be portrayed? #GS1000W2082

@GillianSulliv18 Thank you for sharing this video Gillian, after just learning the definition of the term two-spirited this provided great insight into the concept. The knowledge of the history behind the concept of two-spirited goes really in depth, and I didn't think it would #GS1000W2082

[Amanda Pilgrim @_amandapilgrim]

Week 5 introduced me to the concept of Two-Spirited for the first time, and after learning the definition of it I think it is a wonderful term because it allows people to use this term to describe themselves, while at the same time embracing who they truly are. #GS1000W2082

[Amanda Pilgrim @_amandapilgrim]

@KaelieOake I also find this information very interesting. I did not realize that people could know that their gender identity is different than the sex they were given at birth at such a young age. I always thought this was something people realized as they hit adolescence #GS1000W2082

[Amanda Pilgrim @_amandapilgrim]

After reading the notes for week four, I realized that nobody should be labelled as a gender if they are not comfortable with being given a label. Coming from such a small community with little diversity, I didn't realize feeling compelled to label someone is wrong #GS1000W2082

[Amanda Pilgrim @_amandapilgrim]

@EricaR2001 Thank you for sharing this article, it makes me believe things are starting to look up. However, I am shocked to learn that there are still several schools that do not have gender neutral bathrooms as it is; it does not seem very modern #gndr1000

[Amanda Pilgrim @_amandapilgrim]

I think that in society during current days, there is so much pressure to medically "fix" intersex people; a lot of people still believe that every individual has to conform to one gender so they can stick to the stereotypical gender roles #gndr1000

[Amanda Pilgrim @_amandapilgrim]

@ChloeDi07645923 I agree with this. If you work on a task in advance and get it out of the way, this minimizes your stress by a lot because you no longer have to be worried about it. Also, after completing the work in this course I can recall things from the material to help me daily. #HKR1000

[Amanda Pilgrim @_amandapilgrim]

Based on MoodCheck and the course material in #HKR1000, I learned that events that happen in my daily life have an impact on my mood. If something positive happens to me, my mood becomes good for the day. Ex. if I get a good grade on something this would put me in a good mood.

@Michaela_H42 I agree with this, we could all definitely improve on this area because spiritual wellness is an important aspect of everyone's overall wellness. By working to better our score in religious faith, it would help to increase our spiritual wellness overall.

[Amanda Pilgrim @_amandapilgrim]

Based on the physical wellness chart for my #HKR1000 class, we are overall a physically healthy group of people especially when it comes to regular medical/dental checkups and eating responsibly.
