Small great things has taught me that the words we say and actions we do can make a difference in other people's lives. An example of this was in the novel Ruth was pulled aside at a store so a security guard could look at her receipt.  Kennedy, her lawyer, was with her and when Kennedy tried to give the security guard her receipt he refused. Ruth showed Kennedy what it was like to be African American over white. By doing this, she taught me that a simple action like this or comment is small but can makes a huge impact on the person who received it.

Another thing that I learned from small great things was that in everyday settings we act different depending on who we are around. For instance, when Turk was in jail he was friends with an African American named Twinkie. However, on the outside of jail he despised African Americans. When Turk was speaking in the novel and he asked himself "would we do the man hug thing" when we are out of jail. This caught my attention because although Turk felt that he could be friends with Twinkie when they were in jail, he still was racist to him when they were not in jail. This taught me that in certain situations around people, we may act different than in others. An example of this would be how we act different in school, hanging out with friends, our significant other, or parents. There has always been the stigma that we have different personalities among each group we hang out with and Small Great Things have proven that theory.

"Be true your yourself"
I know that racism is not right. When I am faced with an ethical dilemma I need to be true to myself and speak out if others are being racist. In other words, this means not following the crowd and how they feel about different individuals of race but treating everyone with respect.

"Treat others the way you want to be treated"
This is a guiding principle that I have lived by since I was young. It is rather a simple guiding principle but when faced with an ethical dilemma, I would use this because each individual deserves to be treated with respect no matter their race. If I was faced with an ethical dilemma such as someone asking me to choose between two people of different races for a job, I would choose the individual that was the most respectful and qualified that does not involve their race.

"Don't let others opinions cloud your judgment"
When faced with an ethical dilemma I will not let what others think about race affect my opinion. Racism is not ok and if I am faced with a situation where others are racist I will not follow in their footsteps. For instance when Ruth was pulled over by the security guard for being African American, Kennedy was shocked that the security guard asked for Ruths receipt. At the same time Kennedy had an understanding that the security guard did this because Ruth was African American. Kennedy in particular did not let the security guard targeting Ruth determine her judgment on how she felt about Ruth as an individual.

This picture represents that we can all make an impact and stand together as one. Even though we may be a different race, we are stronger when we are unified. Kennedy was a different race than Ruth but still defended her with her court case.

This quote or picture reminds me that we should treat people how we want to be treated. We are all human and should respect our differences no matter what race we are.

I found it interesting in the novel that even though this family was against African Americans, it didn't matter when it came to Jewish people. Uncle Richard who was white was friends with Louis Farrakhan who was the leader of Islam. Turk did not understand this because his uncle was white and the leader of Islam clearly was not. However, Louis Farrakhan hated Jews and the federal government as much as uncle Richard, Turk, and Brit did. Brit told Turk "daddy always says the enemy of my enemy is my friend." I learned from this that those who are racist seem to think it is ok to like someone they usually do not like because that person hates another set of people they don't like. Overall, this is not ok.

If you were in Ruth's position would you have stayed in the room when asked to by the nurse or would you have left the room and let the baby be in the room by itself? You know that you are not supposed to be near the baby but you are worried about leaving it alone. Would you get another nurse to watch the baby? Explain your thoughts.
