Racism In America
Racism in today's world is getting worse, even though you may not realize it. The police brutality isn't helping to solve the issue that is becoming a larger problem in America. In order to help attempt to solve, this problem the community should come together as one, to discuss the issues that's going on. Multiple police shootings and choking deaths of african american males(Michael Brown,Eric Garner) within the year., as well as the death of an african american woman( Sandra Bland) who died in the custody of the police.Mike Brown was fatally shot in Ferguson. He was shot several times , sources says that he was had his hands up. But police fail to take proper protocol.The choking death of Eric Garner in New York also cause a whole lot of disturbance. He was choked to death by 6 officers. They continued to choke him even after he was yelling "i can't breathe." The shocking death of Sandra Bland , caused a lot of uproar. Sandra Bland was pulled of and arrested following a traffic stop. About 24 hrs later she was found dead in her cell. Some are saying she had committed suicide, others believe that she was murdered while in custody. Confederate flags that are not adding any help to this topic of racism. Adding more flames to fire some may not agree with the confederate being waved around on cars/ trucks. Hate crimes are becoming more common issue as well. Two hate crimes have occurred within the year, the shooting in Charleston SC., and the very recent shooting of a news anchor right along with her camera man , which just happened the other day on live tv. The is becoming a common thing thats needs to be solved, everyone is equal and entitled to a fair trial, along with justice.

Stereotypes
Stereotypes about women being not as good as a man. When it comes to work no one is better than anyone , it's all about the effort given that determines the result of your work. But I personally believe that women should have an equal opportunity, when it comes to a job. Most jobs that are made for men,with women in the work field , aren't fair to them, they lack some equality , when it comes to pay or any other things. It's wrong to stereotype anyone because of who they are, what they do , or where they are from. It causes most people to feel bad about themselves and who they are, even can cause them, to spiral in a deep dark state of mind.
Virtue
For a week following a virtue chart, would be one of the hardest things to do. over the course of a week I set a goal to not break any virtues. Which included temperance , silence , order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, chastity, tranquility, and humility. Only a few that i hard time following, silence and sincerity were the main two that i couldn't , follow. Silence was hard for me because i tend to have a very hard time , invading others conversations and not being spoken too, which can cause a lot of conflicts between others and myself. I've been trying hard to stop invading others conversations, lately it's been getting better. Sincerity was another issue I had when it came to following the virtue sheet. I had an issue with just saying whatever I felt and not thinking really about other people's feelings. Speaking accordingly to some wasn't really my thing but now i'm trying to think before I speak , also adjust the way I say certain things towards people, because I know it will or can hurt people feelings.
News Blog
Over the the course of a week there was a shooting, that had happened in a Selma, Alabama. The alleged gunman went to the church and had attempted to murder his girlfriend, and her infant son. The pastor and his congregation was held to be heros, they managed to take the gun from the gunman.Pastor Carswell was shot and injured while doing so. The alleged shooter 24 year old, girlfriend was shot in the shoulder and jaw. Their young infant son was shot in the hand. Other members of the church managed to help hold him so he wouldn't try to escape before the police could arrived. Just by reading this story I honestly feel bad for the child and the child's mother. Especially for the child , just because his own father attempted to murder him, and he had to endure such a painful thing at such a young age. I honestly believe that the father should get the right punishment for what he has done and for the pain he cause towards the family of the victims. Even though there was no fatality it still was a painful thing to experience.

Tyrann Mathieu Blog
Mathieu received some backlash after failing to make a tackle, the end result caused them to lose the game. So he had took to twitter expressing his feelings. But some fans wasn't happy about them losing the game. one fan said " Tyrann Mathieu should've made that tackle, Completely disappointed in how the cardinals had played that night." In response Mathieu had told her to " go sit her a$$ down ." on the other hand another fan was defending him going on to say " I got respect for T. Mathieu, and doesn't know other fans are hating on him." I feel like T. Mathieu wasn't in the wrong for going to twitter and expressing himself. But some days people don't have the best games.

Natural Phenomena- Fire Tornado **Research**
Fire tornados are not as rare as you may seem. In fact, they are very common but not often documented. Fire tornadoes are most closely related to dust devils, and are distinct from the larger, more powerful tornadoes that develop from the large circulation. Some hot air ends up rushing to the bottom of the vortex, then rising back up, this intensifies it.

Romantic Period
The romantic period was about getting your name out there. Along with being able to think for yourself. This time period was more of an controlling period, no one was allowed to do anything what wasn't honoring god. If one shall do otherwise they would be punished. As times passes it's becoming more and more common for people to speak their minds along and develop their own opinions about the world in which they live in. Several people came to write books and poems to describe their everyday life struggles. Several books that were published sparked reactions that some weren't ready for: such as the american revolution. That was sparked by Thomas Paine. Basically this whole time period was just about being able to have some freedom, and ability to speak their own minds without any judgment.
