Think, pair, share

I think they didn't protest because of the consequences and the power the Nazi's had in the time. Even though they didn't have that much power during this time they still had the power to take to to a concentration camp where you would die all alone. If I was in that situation I would either stay and do as they told me based on fear of what might happen if i wouldn't. Obedience was a very important factor because everyone did obey but just for fear not because they wanted to. I don't think they had the need to conform, they had the possibility just like the teacher did, to leave the country or do something to change what was going on.

My country and the idea of Nationalism

1. I believe my there are many people who don't really feel like they are a part of Colombia. That they live here because this was the place in which the were born but not because they chose to. There are others, in the other hand who believe this is the right place to be and deeply love their country. Defend it from anything that might be giving a bad or wrong image to it and that would never leave. In my case, I have mixed feelings because I really love my country and want to do something to help it develop and become a much better place but for that I believe I must go to another place to study and get prepared to make that change. I don't think Colombia can offer me the necessary resources that I need, but in my mind I see a future in this country and I'm certainly coming back some day. It is hard for me to define myself as a nationalist, patriot or chauvinist because I don't really agree or find the qualities of them in me. One thing is certain, I am not a chauvinist. But I have certain characteristic of a nationalist but mostly patriot.

2. The difference between the terms nationalist, patriot and chauvinist is, a patriot person has a patriotic feeling which means he defends his or her country over anything and feels love for it. A nationalist on the other hand is someone who also has this love feeling but this time is working or want a specific  goal for the country. Las but not least is chauvinist. This is taking either of the last to the extreme and adding to it violence and rudeness.

Discrimination Now a Days

Question 1:

There was one girl who said the man should have tried helping the woman as a personal achievement based on the man's principles. That it didn't matter what would've been the woman's reaction to his actions or what this might have caused he should have at least try. I hadn't considered the importance of this to the man, how it would have made him feel much better if he had at least tried and let the odds be in his way. I still believe he did well on going away, doing nothing to help the lady because of the circumstances in which this happened. He had to think first in his safety and in what might happen to him he approached a lady on a subway in the middle of the night being a black and a latino man, the most probable possibility would have been that he would be attacked by someone or would have ended up in jail or in some sort of problem. 

Question 2:

I now realize that I have discriminated people in a lot of occasions, starting by simple things like how they dress, where they live and what they look like. Even without knowing them, before getting to know them I would reject certain people for their appearance. I am amazed of how it is such a normal aspect an reaction in our society that most of us aren't even conscious of doing it. There was once this girl, who was different. The only thing I could see of her  was a huge hair, a pair of glasses, a book in her hand and a high pitched voice. I was with my group of friends sitting down on a break, and she got near us and sat down. We all agreed she wasn't the kind of girl who would hang out with us so we told her it wasn't a place for people who couldn't have anything else than a book in her hand, and we all laughed. We discriminated her because she wasn't the typical girl who worries about her looks and because she enjoyed reading excessively. She kept on trying to make friends with us, but we always had something to tell her to make her leave. To the point she ended up crying and never came back. Now a days I got know her and she is an amazing person, with a unique personality and a broad world of imagination and wisdom. I really regret being such an ass (forgive my language) with her and not giving my self a chance to know her. Cases like this happen all the time in school, not only ours but in all, I believe, around the world, we bully as a form of discrimination. We mistreat even our friends for comments or points of view as a form of discrimination. I really believe this should start changing and making people every day more and more conscious of the damage this makes to people, even if they are not doing it intensionally.
