Home learning: Comic Strip

The theme of my comic strip is discrimination. I chose to use the background of a classroom, as it is in school that everyone should be treated equally, however the African american is being discriminated, and called a "Negro". This shows the extent of being discriminated, even when the African american is asking the Caucasian a question politely, he still insults him. I chose this theme as it links with the topic that we have recently discussed in school- discrimination and prejudice.

Term 1 Week 3: (Weekend Assignment)

The main message of the song "Where is the love" by the black eyed peas, is that the world is totally screwed up, with problems everywhere, and they are crying out to God for help to heal the "wounds" of the world. "As I'm getting older y'all people get colder/ Most of us only care about money makin/Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction/Wrong information always shown by the media/Negative images is the main criteria/Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria/Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema/Whatever happened to the values of humanity/Whatever happened to the fairness and equality/Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity". This is the part that gives me the greatest impact, as we all know, our upbringing is very important, and the voral values we learn as kids affect how we behave in the future. This few lines show how the minds of children are "poisoned" in a sense, with the wrong values, which they bring down into adulthood, causing the vicious cycle to be repeated, as the adults teach their children the flawed thinking.

The movie "200 Pounds Beauty" has made a great impact on me. It has made realise what lengths people in society would go to in order to get the one he or she loves for himself/herself, and also what lengths they would go to in order to get into the spotlight. In the movie, the protagonist blackmails, and lies her way into the heart of her loved one, and also weaved a large web of lies to get into the spotlight of the music industry. I believe that this is only the tip of the iceberg for the many deeds people in the world do in order to get what they want. Before I watched this movie, I never believed that one would take such actions for an aim that is not very hard to achieve. After watching it, I now understand more about the outside society and also, hope that I will not be required to resort to any underhanded means in the future.
