essay #3

In your opinion is the Institute for the study of nonviolence a grate idea? My opinion of the Institute for the study of nonviolence is a grate idea. I believe that this study is a good idea, it is a grate idea, because we as people need to be able to work are defenses out and come together as one. We come to gather, and the world would be better for all, with out violence we would never have to send people to war. Save more lives is what we should strive for, not just who going to be the next president or who we start a war with next. With on violence there would be no need for lock on your door or having to worry about are kids every time they step out the door.

Why the study of nonviolence is very important to me, people die very day for violence, car crash’s, suicides. Then we have violence kills people every day, innocent people die. For example gang violence is a very big killer in the U.S.A, they fight over promptly that is not even there’s , and violence is a very big part of that. Like most people say guns do not kill people, people kill people, and I believe that the saying is very true. Just think of what it would be like if there was no violence in the world to today, and not just the violence towards people, but the violence that we are doing to are world, are lakes and are rives.

What are so reasons why violence can be good, violence has a row in the building of the United States , the United States mate of never existed if there was not violence at one time. Now we are far pass that, I thing that violence is all right now, because there are people out there that what to take the United States from the people of the U.S.. We have to stand up for are right and are homes so violence is need right now, even if I do not like the fact that there is violence the mayor killer in the United States. At one point we have to came together and make are world better for all of us to live peaces fully. Peaces should be are main goal, and the pursuit of happens, freedom for all not just the United States.

essay #2

I felt that Joan Didion’s description’s could have been a bit stronger in the artistic form, especially in the way that she describes the exterior and interior of characters depicted in the story. For me I would have liked the author to have been a little more insightful in the use of her words, grasping the concept of personally and bringing home the characteristics of the characters in her words.

I did on the other hand like the way that she opens up with the line(pg.1) “This is a story about love and death in the golden land, and begins with the country” this use of word play caught my attention and made me want to keep on reading. Furthermore, I really liked the way she describes San Bernardino, she was right on, I use to live there a while back and her description of the weather was very detailed, right down to the dust on the road, it really made me think of the place I used to call home.

The affect of the descriptions given in the story had a big impact of the reader in the sense that it lets the reader know whets going on whether it’s the time, date, wheatear, area, etc……. It had little impact though as to regards of the artistic word play of characters. She now ‘starts to tell the reader what happened on the of the incident, for example when she says(pg.6) “her 1964 Volkswagen came to a suddenly stop, caught fire, and began to burn”. The reader started to ask questions like what happened, why did it happen, and what she did about it. This keeps the reader attention and make them wont to read more of the story. She then tell the reader that her husband died, the reader fills sorry for her, the reader starts to read more of the story, and then the writer dopes the real truth on the readers, suddenly the reader is surprised that the car cash was real set up, the man wife in the story was the one who caused the accident. The reader no longer fell sorry for her, but angre and the wife.

The term (counterculture) mean to me, a culture with a lifestyle that is opposed to the prevailing culture. For example, the Vietnam era was a time when the country was in shambles as a result of the Vietnam War, thousands of young men and women took their stand through rallies, protests, and concerts. A large number of young Americans opposed the war; with a common feeling of anti-war, thousands of youths united as one. This new culture of opposition spread like wild fire with alternative lifestyles blossoming, people coming together and reviving their communal efforts, demonstrated in the Woodstock Art and Music festival. The use of drugs, mainly marijuana, became a staple in the community of anti-war youths. The countercultures’ radical views and actions caused American society to turn its head and look to the young. They set themselves out as a group and were going to stand up for their rights as well as the rights of mankind.

 

 

Examples of people of counterculture. One Example of people of counterculture is Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender also now as (LGBT). It was a very hard time for Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, at the time the would war 2 was going on, and millions of American men & women were uprooted from their homes, and relocated to large port cities, such as New York City and San Francisco, either en route to tours of duty in Europe or to the Pacific, or to serve in the home-front war effort. Being somewhat anonymous in the large urban areas and separated from ’shaming’ societal figures, many gay men and lesbians who otherwise would have spent their lives closeted were exposed to nascent gay culture. When the war ended, many of these people chose to permanently settle in New York and San Francisco and live more openly gay lives.

 

 

A genuine gay culture began to take root, albeit very discreetly, with its own styles, attitudes and behaviors. And numerous industries began catering to this growing demographic group. By the early 1960s, openly gay political organizations such as the Mattachine society were formally protesting abusive treatment toward gay people, challenging the entrenched idea that homosexuality was an aberrant condition, and calling for a different way for homosexuality. Some people during that time believed the homosexuals where evil, they also believed that God would send them to hell for their sins, I believe that the world is scared of something that is different then what they are.
