I will use this information using forward because knowing how people really see the social class now. Like knowing how they think they act. Like they think only people from Poverty go to prison or must save money. So knowing this knowledge shows how the world is right now and it’s not okay.

Main Idea: Policing should focus toward individuals who likely will commit crimes.

High Level Questions: How is the system of policing related to stereotypes or systemic oppression? Do you know of another instance where policing is unjust, besides targeting communities that are deemed “bad.”

My overall reaction to this article is shocking. The reason for this reaction is because I would have never expected that one way policing can be reformed is by focusing on at risk individuals, who would likely commit acts like violence. This article relates to me because as a person reading this article, I can become a congress person and make just laws that reform policing. One way I would do it is by stating statistics, such as “In Minneapolis, we found that 0.15 percent of the population was determined to be involved in groups, but this population was connected to 53.96 percent of shootings—a proportion over 350 times higher than their population representation.” (Lurie, 2019) This and many other statistics shows that policing must be reformed by not just looking at neighborhoods that are “bad,” but the people who will likely commit an infraction. This makes more sense because if right now, policing is looking at neighborhoods that are, “bad,” then it is a waste of time because the whole population is not going to commit a crime, only a small number of the population in those neighborhoods would likely commit a crime, which I have the power to do, and would likely be believed because I look like a minority because I am, I am Latino and it is frustrating when minorities like me, are racially profiled because policing is not reformed. This article also relates to my neighborhood because I always see police just cruising around my neighborhood and their not realizing that they are wasting their time doing that when they could be working smarter by finding out ways to gain the trust of people in those neighborhoods, as well as finding the individuals that are at risk for committing a crime and helping them. For example, they can talk to the individual, show them statistics and encourage them that “Crime is not the way to go.” I could be wrong though. Maybe the police are realizing that they are wasting their time (giving them the benefit of the doubt), but then why do I see them driving around my neighborhood, if in fact they can be working a lot smarter, such as prioritizing the individuals; that would (likely) commit a crime? When learning about injustices, such as reservations, redlining, and the school-to-prison pipeline, one thing is clear and that is that these injustices are enforced everyday and have not stopped or even diminished.

Overall, the system of policing needs to be reformed as soon as possible. One way I can help make this a reality is by people like me speaking up against these injustices and possible solutions for it. If that does not work, we (people, not just me, united) will put pressure on the United States Congress, and even the Mayors and Governors of states, like California, until policing has been reformed (in a positive matter.)

My overall reaction of the article is that it is shocking how much impact has been done by the increase of dollar stores and the decrease of the markets.This relates to me since many times I’ve been to a dollar store and thought that things here are much more convenient and better than the markets.Yet now this article has shown to me how bad the dollar store product foods are by affecting its consumers health.Also I know that around my neighborhood there is A Lot of dollar stores, and markets with healthier options aren’t always in reach.I think it may relate to how the racism in ways still take effect here in the world in many different ways.Such as how all the healthy options are in markets, and majority of markets with those options are in white neighborhoods. The article mentions “There’s also a traditional supermarket, a Kroger, which is where Reese shops. But the one near her house isn’t as nice as the one 15 minutes away, she says. The one in a whiter, more affluent neighborhood regularly advertises grains, nuts, seafood, olives, and wine”This could mean that it could be the government's own choice to make these healthy food options more accessible in the white neighborhoods, leaving them healthy while they poor have the junk food dollar stores.It's one of the ways i believe that is no wonder or accident that there is a lot of dollar stores in the poor areas that have the races such as Hispanics,latino/as,blacks,etc.

In this week of Distance Learning, I have fully learned the real reason why POC and many other minorities are poor compared to Whites. Before watching the videos I guess deep down inside I questioned why Whites have always been richer. I mean I already knew that racism had to do with it but it was like Whites are in power because they have money but I guess I questioned like how were they always rich from the beginning? How were  Whites able to move up the ranks and POC/minorities not able to. And thanks to this video, I finally have the answer. Everything is a big old cycle of red lining. POC and minorities are put into segregated reservation-like communities, trapping them in an endless cycle of poverty. In order to get out of that poverty, which rarely happens so thanks government! (insert frustrated smile here), you need to have a good job and in order to get a good job, you need to have good education and in order to have good education you need to go to a good school, and in order to go to a good school, there needs to be good schools around you, and in order for there to be good schools around you, the school needs to spend money to improve it's teaching but in order to spend money on it's teaching, the properties around the area have to be worth a lot of value and in order for the properties to be high in value, people in the area need to have a good amount of money but in order to have a good amount of money, they'll need good jobs so....yeah, no real way out of there is there? Not only that but even if a POC/someone from the minority group were to become rich/have a good amount of money, all the nice houses are out of their area ( in the suburbs ) and so they would have to move houses, in a completely different area and thus nothing's really changed because once they move to that other area, they'll be paying in order to improve the education in that area and not in the area that really needed it.

This is important to me because although redlining "isn't happening" there is still multiple ways that segregation is still happening to this day based on race, their is still offers given to white people first, so while that is still happening it's important to me because I'm not white if that makes sense. I feel like I would still be affected by it since I'm not white rather I'm a person of color. It's important for me to learn and important for other to learn because hopefully one day poc won't be taken apart.

I learned that there weren't just one type of purpose for a Urban city or community, and that it was just to doing what you want to the community. Like to build a park in a place where parks are not needed no more. But it is more like checking on community geographic and looking what the place need. And looking for possible resolve with other people like Urban design to improve a community. Not doing what they want.

What I learned in Ethnic studies today is that residential segregation happens due to be segregating themselves. What this causes is political segregation and linguistic segregation. What this means is that they don't have the necessary votes to keep their establishments open. Linguistic segregation makes it harder for people that speak different languages than other communities to get jobs because of the difference. Urban planning also affects segregation because it leaves the lower quality of area to the minorities.

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned is important because I would like to see some changes in some of the low income housing because I have seen how they are living. Also I have known people who live in some of those living complex. It would be great to see changes so that others can not look down on those people, who live there as "non-hardworking" because that is not always the case.

I learned that making a "Perfect City" is harder then i thought i will be. For starters you have to maintain and make everyone in your town happy and safe. I had several sim asking me to change the placement of the wind turbines because it loud and making firestations to the land so everyone could rest easy. People are complaining that theres a factories and they want less coal power plants and more turbines near their homes. i can only do so little to give them power and water so i have to put the coal and factories far away from them. Next its placing their stores and parks, the people get annoyed by not living close to one of these things and you have to be careful not to destroy to much trees as well when your building your city because the sim's don't like to see to much buildings and want to more landscapes instead.

# data[].attributes.body
This is sorta how people live in our society and i could see why the government struggles to keep up with our needs in society, there's certain people in this world who act like the sim in sim city where they don't like to be next to certain places or buildings. Therefore makes the government know where to build stores, houses, fire departments, police stations. Having the census is great for the government because it helps them determine where they should build places. The government has to manage all these problems and end up over doing it making it expensive to build in certain places

What I learned is important to me because when you live in LA ,like me, you have for sure seen many homeless people because many can not afford to live in any home because they don't have jobs. Because of the people working for the city of LA(Urban Planners I believe) they have made it easier for people(homeless) to get back in their feet. For me whenever I would see a homeless person come to our family asking for food or some money or even when I would go to downtown LA I see homeless people everywhere and to see that the city is now renovating old hotels into affordable living arrangements for the homeless and unstable it makes me feel happier that maybe the number of homeless families decrease as the once homeless families start to have their lives again.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is important because this happens here in LA too. The school in a different area that get less funding than other school. I went to a elementary school that didn't have alot of funding so like some of the books were out of date. It would be good for the school that don't get less funding should start getting more. So, I wonder if the government gave more money to schools, would it actually make a difference?

# data[].attributes.body
Are most of the people that work in the Urban planners American with the mindset of racism?

# data[].attributes.body
Because I live around the projects and I don't really agree on things around here like the parking and it would be nice to have power to be able to change things around here.

Why does the police continue to ignore her and search her house even though they don't have a warrant?

# data[].attributes.body
This is important to me because this reminded me of going to a mall for Christmas shopping and there were a lot of white people and i felt so out of place and felt really uncomfortable. I think this because i am used to seeing people like but i when i am outside my neighborhood its different i think it kinda like side affect of the segregation we have today.

# data[].attributes.body
This is important to me because growing up I would always call any native american I saw an Indian. I would also hear people around me use the same term so I was thought it was right and nothing was wrong with it but really this whole time i was calling them something they weren't. The second thing was important because I never really knew how much the place you live at could affect your education. I also didn't like how america took away their culture in a way. America made them do it their way and the natives lost the ability to speak their native languages. I wonder how mad it made them not being able to go to a school they wanted to go to or not being able to go to college. That would just make me feel hopeless about my future. That kind of makes sense on why the amount of suicides went up.

# data[].attributes.body
This relates to me because when I saw the video Ms.Shieh was talking about how this relates to us too because we have some similarities with these reservations like poverty and I know the government can help us with that but yet we still live in poverty are options for good schools are difficult to get. But not only is this important because this relates to me but because I'm also on stolen land and native Americans deserve so much more than undesirable lands I think they deserve way nicer and bigger reservations honestly and way more so if there is anything  I can do in the future to achieve that I will.

# data[].attributes.body
I important to know this because learning different types of history events shows how segregated society was back in the day and how society still is today. now a days people in my community stick with their own colored skin tone because we are see each other that way and nothing else, like we were made for that.

I have learned that the natives reservations have similar traits with the 21 missions of California and that timelines don't really correctly tell us what dates are true but are still rather helpful to know about. The 21 missions in California lasted from 1769 to 1833 they were there to educate, convert and change the behavior of the Native Americans. Spain were the ones who were responsible for all the missions, their goal was to get natives to learn Catholicism/Christianity  and colonize their territory to extract more gold from the Americas and to make a powerful country to convert an new world. So for the Natives it was like "If I want to live better life i better follow what they want and to do what they say". Timelines are an iffy but are helpful in a way to show the passed events in a somewhat correct manner. Take a look at the "Historical Timeline" of the 21 missions in CA http://californiamissionsfoundation.org/the-california-missions/. If you go out to any one of the 21 missions in CA, each mission tells a story about what happened during when that mission had took placed. I myself have been 9 different missions and each one ive been to has different explains on how the Spanish were handing during the 21 missions on each one.

This is important because I bet that most people don't even know that reservations are a thing and that it's bad quality. I just found out what a reservations was about a month ago but that because we had to read a book about it (The Absolutely True Diary of a part -time Indian) and it was only like 2-3 classes that read that book. This topic need more recognition  because there so many Native Americans out there in the world who are not getting the education or the home they deserved and it simply not fair or is it their fault for the way their living.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to me because right now I am currently sitting in their land if the colonizers didn't take it from them. It just has me thinking that what I had they could had possibly had. Simple what I have is a messed up privilege to what they should have had. Segregation is related to me because I was once in it as I mentioned before.Which was kind of awkward to me because the 2 schools  shared a campus but it was an eye opener to what point society has come to in these times.

# data[].attributes.body
I can assume that similar reservations or moments in history have probably happened to different indigenous groups in other countries.

# data[].attributes.body
Questions I have are: What can be done in America, to repair or at least ease, communities, like minorities, that have suffered heinous acts, from this country we call, "the land of the free" (or whatever saying that is related to that says), what are some methods people, like me, can make social class be eradicated, and what can people in America do, to also eradicate segregation or force segregation to end, in countries like America?

# data[].attributes.body
`What I learned in Ethnic Studies was more of how America is an awful country or even to feel proud of being born. The reason for this is because the "United States of America" has colonized land, to expand the "United States of America." As a result, communities, such as, the Indigenous Community, are left with a small percentage of land in every state! It is not even half of the land they previously owned! This is what is called, "reservations" or what it should be called, "prisons!" Reservations are locations, in every state of America, where there aren't any fertile soil! The outcome of these, prisons, are that the Indigenous Community cannot produce food, to survive! What is worse is that, the Indigenous Community, were not even considered citizens in the "United States of America!" This is such a big deal because states in the United States of America, were originally claimed by the Indigenous Community. This means that when their land was stolen by colonizers, even though it was their land, they were still not considered, citizens of the "United States of America."

While the American revolution segergstion began to exist because they told the native Americans that they where only allowed to live there not leave this is connected to America now because there reservation were practically ugly and our neighborhoods are unsafe and not well cleaned unlike other neighborhoods.When Mrs sheik talked about how they practically told them they couldn't speak there own languages by given them Americanized language to speak and to not believe in there own religions is much like today because were not allowed to talk about religions and maybe sometimes speak other languages because people get offended even outside of school.

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned is important to me because I never knew that Native Americans had to suffer so much in order to survive. What they went through should be something that never happens again but in reality it still happens to this day. I've seen families suffer because their jobs are refusing to pay POC because of their skin or their inability to talk English and so them and their families have to try to survive on dirt salaries. This also reminds me of the timeline video we watched because even though the timeline says that segregation supposedly ended in 1954 it still happens to this day. So this is important to me because it made me realize this is something that has to stop but ,many people still go through this today and many don't see anything wrong with society.

# data[].attributes.body
This is related to me because reservations and segregation are a huge problem today and also affects where I live. For example, although it might not seem like it the neighborhood and school I go to are very segregated. Also the things Native Americans went through with educational attainment is very similar to the school system I'm educated in today because we are taught what they want us to know.

# data[].attributes.body
It is related to me because obviously I'm a person of color and I've seen people been through things that support what I'm talking about. For example about 2 days ago I saw a post on Instagram about a Hispanic dad who was accused of robbery and was beat up by 2 white police officers. Then later on the police officers said it was a mistake and they caught the wrong person, they thought it was him because the man who was actually the robber was wearing all black and so was the man that they caught and messed up. This shows how not only are we thought wrong about but we're also treated bad.

# data[].attributes.body
So the Native Americans basically owned our country we technically stole the country from them or is it still there country?

# data[].attributes.body
Learning about segregation is related to me because as I take a look at my neighborhood and school I only see latinx people and black people. It is important because people don't realize that segregation still does exist in an every day society and we have to do something about it, it also affects our education outcomes and how people would assume of our races.

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned is important to me because when I took history class back in middle school they used to tell me different such as the segregation being over.

# data[].attributes.body
This relates to me because many people including me has always thought segregation ended but if you really focus and look around at the people you are surrounded by you will be able to tell if you are surrounded by the same people as your race. In my everyday life their is segregation, my neighborhood and school is mostly fulled with Hispanics. There isn another big percentage of other races.

If timelines are not truthful what type of thing can we use to see what times every event happened?

# data[].attributes.body
This is important to me because a lot of things in history have time lines so i would have to like seach things up to know if its actually true.

Would the suicide of the Native Americans have a huge impact towards them or their community?

# data[].attributes.body
well that the timeline may be accurate but its not all in trusting, also that the native Americans have been moved to reservations when they were doing well by themselves. No one was a U.S citizen until 1920's. During the times 1800's there was an act called LDA (legal dawe act), as years gone by they the native people have felt more damaged, some have lead to educational attainment, poverty and Alc suicide.

# data[].attributes.body
This relates to me because many people may believe that segregation does not exsits but you can see that in my everyday life that it does. I live in a neighborhood which only latinx people live. Also people of color in LA live in places that aren't the nicest, we live in dangerous neighborhoods.

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned today is that the only difference that will occur is that the dates in which class is held has changed, and work has become independent, also plat. can be done at a later date. For the timelines video I learned that slavery did occur before 1618, it just wasn't called that and was maybe seen in a different way. Also segregation did exists after 1866, and it can  be seen today by the types of neighborhoods we live in today and the schools we go to. Slavery can also occur to different people in different places not only in the US, for example during wildfires, firefighters must do their jobs without pay and the work is much more dangerous and extreme. I also learned about native American reservations. I learned that the "American Revolution" was a great factor which made white people move into the west areas of the land and this lead to the displacement of many native american tribes. Whites started to move into their land for a very cheap price. The Dawes Act of 1880s colonizers bought land for very cheap prices and legally natives had a certain place in the land to live. The American gov't began to control the way native americans learned, and living in reservations caused high rates of poverty, alcohol and suicide rates also began to be higher. Also native americans were not seen as citizens till 1920 so the law did not protect them at all. Finally the land that they lived in lacked resources and was in terrible conditions.During the 1940s-1960s native americans were not allowed to leave their reservations.
