― Wendelin Van Draanen, Flipped

Prejudice is about pre-judging someone before actually meeting the person. I liked this quote because even though prejudging is something very common, it isn't fair. It isn't fair to take away the chance of getting to know somebody only because that somebody belongs to a specific group or has a particular characteristic. ]]> 2022-09-01 02:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/a012860801/cy5fdqxjrrvl4iog/wish/2278619221 Cultural Appreciation at Home a012860801 https://padlet.com/a012860801/cy5fdqxjrrvl4iog/wish/2297578257 Have you appropriated that culture or your family just appreciates it? Explain.

I think my family just appreciates the art and the culture expressed by the money (bills) of different countries. Every bill is different but they all expressed something about their country, their history, their fauna, etc. I think it is only appreciation because the point of having them is watching, collect and admire them.

1. What kind of feelings and thoughts come up for me when you hear the word HOME? Why?

When I think of this, words like safe, cozy, pleasant, and peaceful come to mind. This is because for me, “home” is a place or people that make you feel comfortable, loved, and like you belong. 

2. How is art useful to appreciate other cultures at Home?

Art is a form of nonverbal expression and it helps us to see beyond reality or what the eye can see. Through sounds, colors and shapes we can perceive feelings. A painting, for example, captures a moment, with shapes, colors, and expressions. This is useful for us to understand what people were going through, even if they did not want to express it directly.

Environment refers to everything that surrounds us. So we interact with the environment daily, when we water our plants and when we pulled with our car's CO2. I think my relationship with the environment isn't the best. Talking about nature, I think there are many things I could do better. Talking about animals, I don't personally harm them, but maybe, for example, the new road I take to get to my school was before the habitat of some bears. Talking about people, I don't intend to harm anyone but maybe there is more I could be doing. Aside from this, I do respect, admire and empathize with the things that surround me. 

2. Do I feel I am part of nature or it is something outside me?

I do feel I'm part of a whole. Sometimes I like to connect with nature, like going to a part or a mountain, and yes, I feel like I am part of it. 
However, sometimes I feel that through time, humans have forgotten that we are part of that whole and we need to respect and take care of it. We have developed a feeling of superiority when in reality, we are one, we are a whole. 

3. Where does that belief come from? My family, my religion, my political views?

I think my way of seeing things comes neither from my family, religion nor political views. I think it came from school, research, videos, movies, new ideologies, songs, and many other things.

My Culture and Global Action a012860801 https://padlet.com/a012860801/cy5fdqxjrrvl4iog/wish/2358399409 Our culture is a part of us. It determines or at least influences the way we think and act. Not all cultural practices are positive or good, but many can contribute to creating a more sustainable world. For example, I know some families share almost everything, my family does share some things, but we can improve. I mean that many families practice reduction; they do carpools, and in summer, they sleep in the same room to have only one air conditioner and many things they consume the least necessary. Other practices that I already do but can improve are: to reduce the use of water and electricity. To turn off everything when I'm not using it, to take quick showers, and recollect used water to clean the floors or the car. I think the cultural practice of reduction is the best because it encloses many other practices. ]]> 2022-10-27 03:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/a012860801/cy5fdqxjrrvl4iog/wish/2358399409 Expression through Art a012860801 https://padlet.com/a012860801/cy5fdqxjrrvl4iog/wish/2380826736
Art is a form of expression and can be used to communicate and find links with other people and communities. Also, art can be interpreted by most of the people, it doesn't have the impediment of language. With this said, art can be used to as a mediator to find equality, justice, peace and social transformation. ]]> 2022-11-12 05:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/a012860801/cy5fdqxjrrvl4iog/wish/2380826736 Journal 9. Music and Protest a012860801 https://padlet.com/a012860801/cy5fdqxjrrvl4iog/wish/2387713788 Climate change

I wonder,
what the world would say if it could talk
I wonder if it would say anything at all
What can you say to someone that doesn't care?
Has it talked and hasn't been heard?

Some else will do it
That's what we say
Someone else will care
That's what we hope
While we see everything getting destroy
