Music!!!!

Hola!
So on Monday the whole class I couldn't stop thinking of songs, even though I had already chosen my song for Wednesdays music day I had to re think my choice and finally picked one that I really love, but for reasons I can't even explain.. and there were others I thought would be good to share with the class... so here they are! :D

Loose Change

Hi folks just wanted to let you know those of us that attended Monday November 15ths movie night to check out "Loose Change" on Youtube, it is a very interesting look at Gov't manipulation during/after 911.

Oh right also wanted to show an example (current) of attempting to manipulate ideals in order to get more power with this:

^^ Quite neat if I do say so myself.

Jane Elliot's Blue Eyes Brown Eyes Experiment

Hello Everyone,

I had briefly discussed this experiment the other day in class and feel it is worthwhile watching!

My analysis:

When an individual feels they have power they become invincible. The feeling they can do anything because they have the power or control. When you do not have power you feel vulnerable. Helpless, unsure how to change the situation or feel trapped.
When you have experienced both you begin to develop empathy.
I think once you have experienced something or have emotional intelligence, your actions and reactions are different.

If you were once bullied and know how it feels, why would you want to bully someone else?
You could choose to bully anyhow but if you think of how you felt, you will realize it is not worth it.

I think it is important to think about others... Reactions, feelings, thoughts etc.
We learn at a very early age -
* If you don't have anything nice to say, do not say it at all.
* Treat other's the way you want to be treated.

I hope you enjoy the video - A Class Divided

Hey guys,
Since Les gave us his definition of power its pretty much all I look for... in movies, books, tv shows, songs, relationships, etc.. and over the past month I have been beginning to watch the show Dexter. Those who like the show as well might be interested in re-watching the 5th episode (I believe) in the second season.. the whole episode is basically Dexter shifting the power dynamic so he is in control of how the case pans out... definitely cool to see alongside this course :D

"Power dynamics within relationships"

I was procrastinating doing homework this weekend and I decided I was going to google some things. I happened to come across this article on power within relationships. It's a man's view on women. I was reading it and I was surprised but then again not really surprised at this man's views on women in relationships today. Is this really what men think about us? This makes me think about my own relationship and past ones thinking about the power dynamics within and I see power on both ends of the spectrum not to this degree. It's very interesting seeing different opinions of people. Just Google "Power dynamics within relationships" and you will be surprised the different responses.
