Diversity and Social Justice

Out of all the presentations there was one common thing I noticed and that was how dominant certain groups were in society. So the topic I thought that was  mainly being concerned about was superiority. However, all superiority was heavily dominated by white people. It seemed like they were almost in control of who they wanted to live in their country  even though it originally wasn't there's to begin with. All groups did a good job by expressing this period in history and it all connected in someway.We learned about  all the different acts being placed on different ethnic groups and backgrounds and what the results were because of them. The Theme seemed to never change because the main point in all of them talked about how dominant each group was and how it influenced American history. I learned a lot from all the timelines because I never knew how much authority white people had over other groups. I see how we refer to them as a dominant group in society based on what they did in the past to shape the nation. In the same breath, it makes me question how they have right to believe other groups or colors are to be watched at all times. It also showed that this makes them contradictory because they feel like the innocent people but if you bring up history it clearly shows that they basically stepped on people and used them as a crutch to get what they wanted. Even if that meant killing other people, they wouldn't be deterred from building their nation.

This project taught me to be more grateful and to work harder in life because the system we live in is made for certain people to fail. It taught me that in some way we are all being enslaved because there's always going to be a  white man dominating society unless we do something to change. I notice that times are different now but there's always that term "history repeats itself" and unless we do something about it this will happen.
