No questions ask, that's animal cruelty right that! You don't drag helpless dogs just to get them to do your bidding! How would you like to have a collar on your neck and let people drag you around--squeezing the air out of your lungs? Yeah, it's not nice--so don't do it! You can tell from the German shepherd's lack of enthusiasm to their commands that these officers are just plain awful. Animals asked for nothing more from us than love and affection but it seems this poor dog is far from her wish.
The second thing I read that was disturbing me was the descriptions about the Argentina police and military officers. It seems that humans cannot be trusted with too much of anything, because if we do have something valuable--we tend to abuse its power. For example, if we have too much money who wouldn't have the urge to get more? Well, in this paper--it seems that if we have too much power, we want to express how much power we have over other people. This is what came across my mind when I read how the officers would abducted helpless citizens when there is no more suspects to play with.
It's a scary thought, but it true~
Anyway, moving on! Another topic we covered in class the other day was cultural heritage, when you asked someone, about their heritage how anyone replied,"I'm American?" Huh. Now that I think about it, I haven't got that answer from anyone. Weird? Nope! In fact, not at all--it's because from what I learn in my history class, America is one big melting pot. People from different cultures blend together and we all become one big family that makes up tomorrow's future.
While most people answer with their family's background heritage, there are those that take pride of their culture. For those who have more than one cultural background, I found out that they either know very little of their culture since they've been in America so long. For instance,I remembered a fellow classmate of mine who's Irish but all she knows about her culture is Irish Potatoes. There are even those who can no longer speak their own country's language because they've been used to speaking English for so long and have no one to hold a decent conversation with since they've been here all their life.
Likewise, not everyone who came to America is "Americanize", there are some people that still hold true to their culture despite the fact that they live here. The who take pride in their culture pays no mind over what other people say or the stares that they might receive from other people. For example, the Gods people worship--not everyone is going to pray to Jesus just because they are here in America. Plus the food, how foods are prepared or cooked varies because of the many different cultures here in America--it's no surprise to people that I eat rice every night for dinner, right? Foods that are acceptable and common to one culture might be different than others. Am I the only one that finds fish heads are appetizing? ( ^ ^ ; )a
