what comm is about

What I think of this class. This class is an alternative to English for kids who don't want to deal with all the useless work that they do in English. Personally for me since i am becoming a plumber i don't need to know how to write poem or learn about Shakespeare. Most of the stuff in English is irrelevant to anything in my life. In comm we actually learn how to think for ourselves ore and we learn interesting stuff. My favourite part is listening to your talks. You always make your talks interesting and i always learn something new even if its not to do with school. I believe my responsibility in this class is to show you that i can take something and actually think about it and reflect on that. What  think you were doing with the blogs and everything just makes it easier. It also connects the class like facebook does. Another thing is that kids always lose papers or forget binders this way its always there. You believe that connecting everything to something you know helps learn. I think that if the learning is fun or interesting its easier to learn. Also if it interesting your actually motivated to listen or do the work. Peers don't help my learning that much i ask them questions sometimes but mostly i work independently. For example of my own thinking i chose my hotel Rwanda Assignment. In this assignment i thought pretty hard about it all and the reasons for the genocide. I believe learning is when someone is taught something and they actually take that information and use it in there life. Learning useless stuff is pointless.

rwnda-sullivan

I relate Sullivan and Rwanda in the sense that alot of conflicts start because of mistruths or different versions. Sometimes i witness it clearly i will be there when it happens and i hear people telling others and i hear stuff that never happened. People love seeing fights n matter who, so most times people will lie and do a bunch of messed up shit to manipulate people for their entertainment.

Rwanda Theme

The song i chose is about the "Armenian genocide" also called the "Armenian holocaust". The government tried to eliminate the armenian minorities in the ottoman empire. The ottomans used mass burning ,drowning kids, drug overdose to children and poison gases. Eventually there were death marches and concentration camps . This was a holocaust before the nazi holocaust people call it the " forgotten holocaust" over 500,000 Armenians were killed between 1914-1918

Hotel Rwanda

What caused the tribes to hate each other?
When the Belgium's came to Rwanda to take all there resources they sorted he people in a really dumb way. The people who looked more white were called Tootsies and the others were called Hutu's. The Belgium's told the tootsies that they were better than the Hutu's for a long time. Eventually they believed it and treated the huts like shit. The Belgium's eventually left and left the people to deal with there hatred. Now with the Belgium's gone the Tootsies had no power. The Hutu's were mad now because they got treated like shit for so long. The Hutu's dislike the Tootsies Because they were in power and they oppressed he Hutu's for so long. The hatred spreads because of the limited access to information, The children were told since they were born that Tootsie are cockroaches and eventually that what they truly believe. All the people are told is that Tootsies are bad and need to be exterminated and they believe it because they don't know any better. They justified what they did by calling them cockroaches and saying how cockroaches need to be exterminated. People don't have problem with saying lets kill all cockroaches , to them it seems less harsh. This is similar to the Holocaust but in a smaller version. The people are told constantly that Tootsies are bad just like they did with the German people. In Germany, Hitler constantly did rallies and speeches all saying that Jewish people were rats that carry disease. Just like in Rwanda the people were called cockroaches, calling the people a dirty filthy animal or bug helps people kill them without feeling bad. My reaction to this movie is disgust the fact that people cant even tell the difference except for their papers shows that they have no reason or right to call them cockroaches or harm them. I could talk about how i don't get how people could do this but I know I wont be able to figure it out. I will never fully understand how people can become like this, not even people but animals.



April 25th
What really started the Rwandan genocide. The lust for power and trying to control other people s a factor. People are always trying to manipulate other people by using knowledge and twisting facts. The Rwandan government controlled its people by controlling the information. Once the everything is soaked in the fuel of lies and mistrust the spark that ignites it all is the death of the president.
