Diversity At It's Best!!!

This was a cartoon video that I came across but couldn't get it to upload. A quick summary of the video: a little boy was having a birthda party and he had lots of gifts but the funny thing was the gifts came in different packages and colors in which he didn't like any of the colors. Then he finally got to the gift wrap that he like and opened it and and found some pink bunny slippers. So from this I got that you cant judge a gift by its wrapping. you have to look beyond the surface to find that everyone has many special gifts. I think this pertains somewhat to what were are lesrning anout sucg as being biased towards certain groups or things without knowing the whole picture. Many people just take a quick glance and never take the time out to know what is really going on before judging a situation. This is something that can go for any race or sex for overcoming prejudice by anymeans.

Should women Rule the World?

When looking at Fox 8 news the other night, an interesting topic came across the tv screen: Should Women Rule the World. In trhis news segment the question was directed towards President Obama asking if he would be better off if his wife Michelle had his job. This interview was done by Dee Dee Myers, a woman who was Press Secretary for President Clinton back in 1994. The fact was that women shouldn't never run the world period, but run along beside men because women have different lifestyles and and perspectives on issues. In fact each gender has things that they are good at that will compliment the other. But according to the Femininist Movement, there was a thought that men and women were engaged in a zero sum game, and that for one gender to get something, the other had to lose it. Just the same as for parents taking care of children, the child gets a different perspective from each parent and when there is someone there to see the opportunity, it sometimes is a better result in the end. So by increasing women's roles politically might lessen the effects of all the wars take place. To me this just shows that womens subordinate position in society can bring out some good qualities and sometimes having a women's point of view will help to enhance and articlate any situation.
