As always, Gracie provided time for everyone to share their feelings and thoughts as the semester closes. I believe everyone enjoyed this time as many professors could care less how their students are feeling.

One of the groups presented on the decriminalization of marijuana usage. In my opinion, the act of criminalizing people for the use of marijuana is neutral. There are many other harmful acts happening in the world other than the use of an substance; however, punishment should be given once that usage results in problems. There are many individuals who have been criminalized for small portions of marijuana, which is absurd.

During class we were able to create a leadership timeline, which depicted our leadership roles from start to now. This activity allowed me to see how much I have achieved over the years. It seems as if I was just in middle school running for vice president and now I am a junior in college.

Today we examined the difference between a leader and a hero. In my opinion, a hero is someone who you've had an impaction experience with. This is someone that has helped you in a significant way. A leader is not necessarily a hero. There are many leaders in society who have not done anything significant for the betterment of society. I used this image of Rosa Park because she represents both a leader and hero. She has left an impactful mark on the world while leading in a efficient and effective way.

One group presented on the influence of music throughout social movements. Many individuals use music to discuss or advocate for certain situations. J. Cole's song, Neighbors, is famously inspired by a police raid on his house in Fayetteville, N.C., which was spurred by the racist assumptions made by his wealthy white neighbors.

In today's class we did a gallery walk, viewing pictures that identified an social change issue. There were many photos that were relatable and current. For example, there was an image of a dog tied to a pole and a human tied to an electronic device. The social change issue within the picture resembled how society glorifies electronics. Humans are tied to these devices as dogs are tied to light poles.
