I've always had some sort of curiosity in the relations of sex, gender, inequality, religion and much more. I'm positive that this course is my best option as I'll be able to learn more about those things.]]> 2020-08-30 19:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bhdaily123/oosmgbh8e93i0xdr/wish/707457266 bhdaily123 https://padlet.com/bhdaily123/oosmgbh8e93i0xdr/wish/723025351 This was the question assigned on Monday. My answer should be in the discussions. However, to briefly summarize what I said, I stated that people commit suicide because they grow tired of feeling like a burden to others. They'd rather end things than face what may or may not happen. I think being suicidal starts to consume you in a way because it gets so intense. I've never experienced it nor do I know anyone close to me who has. But obviously, I probably won't even know because it seems like those who suffer from it never speak out about it, which scares me. I've read a lot about it, especially in the Kpop industry and how much depression can drive one to end their life. For example, a famous korean singer-songwriter, Kim Jonghyun, who made such a huge impact in the Kpop industry after committing suicide. Although I wasn't a fan, his death influenced the way I perceived the life of a star and how different you may think it really is. ]]> 2020-09-06 04:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bhdaily123/oosmgbh8e93i0xdr/wish/723025351 bhdaily123 https://padlet.com/bhdaily123/oosmgbh8e93i0xdr/wish/723038419 When I see the words "transportation," "call," and "success," I think of cars, phone and happiness/stability. The reason why I thought of cars for transportation was because it's what society mostly rely on to travel. I thought of phone for call because it basically speaks for itself, personally. Lastly, I thought of happiness and stability for success because to me, success doesn't always mean money; it means being at your happiest and not having to worry. The reason why I chose number 3, or success, is because it speaks loudly to me. Just seeing the word itself gives me relief because it's something I strive for everyday.]]> 2020-09-06 04:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bhdaily123/oosmgbh8e93i0xdr/wish/723038419 bhdaily123 https://padlet.com/bhdaily123/oosmgbh8e93i0xdr/wish/723042075 Reading "Body Ritual Among The Nacirema" really was an eye opener; I didn't think the things they did for rituals ever existed. Although I say this, I can also relate only to an extent. I'm Hmong and if you didn't know, we're a small ethnic group. We don't have our own country, as we originated from China and Southeast Asia, so there isn't a lot of information about our lifestyle and culture. However, there are some if you do some research. In our culture, we make animal sacrifices, as crazy as it sounds, for certain kinds of reasons because we're very superstitious people. As generations pass, many don't practice the old ways anymore, which is both good and bad. ]]> 2020-09-06 04:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bhdaily123/oosmgbh8e93i0xdr/wish/723042075
