Entry #1

I had chose to read the two books through a Racial and Cultural Lens because I was interested in how your race and culture might have affected how you were treated by other people. This particular lens had interested me more than others because it seemed like the most straightforward in what it was asking for things like seeing how is empowered and why they might be in power. I was also interested in this lens because I wanted to see how race was different in the past and how that has changed from now. Previous experience with this topic is that there has been now recently a lot to do with race, like the Ferguson case when a man was killed by police  and there was protest on race and that it wasn't right for him to do that. My beliefs toward this lens is that I don't think that you should be judged on the color of your skin or what they believe in but that everyone should understand that not everyone is the same skin color or believe in the same thing but not to judge people by that but understand them and treat them with respect. In this project I hope to get a better understanding in how it was different in the better or the worse before and see how it has changed or maybe gotten worse compared to now.
