The fact that immigrant have to feel somehow that they are not belong to the US may cause some people to forget their cultures and pretend other culture characteristics. While Walter Diaz didn’t go that way, he keep in his mind that he have to adapt to the US culture, but never forget about his real culture, so he show up with his friends and done a lot of things for themselves as an immigrants and show people their cultures.
Yes Fatema he is a person who care about people and always wanted to help. I think one of the reasons why he want to help people is that he had a lot of experience and he been suffered in hard situation, that gave him power and push him to help any people who is suffering in similar situation.
But I really like the thought that they just begin with a sentence the already make us know what the video will be about.
I can say that we already can see ourselves in this because we all went to the same thing. Living our home for a wide future in the U.S.A is a huge step to get what we want.
We all in the same situation with Walter Diaz, and most of the students in this class doing great as an immigrant looking forward to have better future, however we have done similar things like that to talk to each other about our cultures. I think we should do that in our last year at least plan a day where we could have time to show our cultures to our teachers and all students in Ellis, I think it will be so much fun and great thing to do. Since you are so close from our school office, I will ask you to ask the main people in our school to find a day for us to do that and let people who want to show their cultures know so they could prepare for it.
It is just what we are seeing right now. Every day people are protesting for what is happening with the immigrant. Just go and talk is not enough for the government to listen that’s why people are having a lot of rallies, some organized band to resist, and sometime people are trying to always convince others to support immigrants
This should not be like that. People came to this country to get a better life, more hopes, more opportunities, or escape the dangers of their countries.
I like they idea, creating a Band to demonstrate their culture cultivating brotherhood. Great plan to make new students feel at home after just arrived to United State where most of the things are different back in our countries.
They’re trying to use the Band to cause a different concept about immigrants in the society. Showing that all of us are human being and we deserve the same right as someone out.
I think is important for people specially xenophobic to understand that the reason people migrate from their country to another, is always because either their live is in danger or because they can’t see any future where they are. It is also ironic to know that these things can happen to anyone no matter where you are from. As for this young teenager, his whole family was in danger because of gangs and they had to move in order to survive, and always keep in mind, no one would ever leave his home and endorse racism or xenophobia just for vacation or for fun. And despite all that, they even created a band instead of a gang just so that you can learn about their culture with hope that you’ll finally like them
In Central America gangs member affect to many people, they have their own ruler and the government don’t anything to safe the citizens.
I pretty understand him travel to United States is danger you never know what can happens to you sometime people die on the desert, people suffer at lot just to have a better opportunity. The immigration process is a long process.
I like his empathy I also feel sorry for all these people who don’t have the change to get their legal paper is to hard to survive when they can’t even work as a regular employee.
It implies, he stayed optimists that every thing would be fine, even though there is lot of things was going on his life. he is clam and peaceful
But, as immigrant I’m so proud that this young group of leader promote immigrant rights
Wow great idea I so happy about that,
people should know they right Latino immigrant are being victims of discrimination is time to change that and made people know that we also have a voice.
there is always resources to help out with lawyers and free staff to help others to fix its status
Did the actions of his brother changed his choices for the future? or he decided to do the Marching band because the political issue was provoking it?
Imani is young bold activist who advocated to break the stereotypes of being queer and Muslims. Imani wants the world to know that its okay to be queer and Muslim. Queer Muslims are one of the marginalized communities whose voice has to be heard. Imani it taking a step on achieving that and her work helps launching a hashtag called queer confession.
This women challenged the world when she came out in public as a Muslim woman who cover her hair and body, in a world full of judgment.She was viewed different by many people for just covering her hair. But like she said she’s proud of being who she is.
It is really good that she loves herself and she demonstrate what she is capable of to people. In actuality, many people face discrimination just because they have certain religions like Islam, which really do not make any difference in their personality or hurt anyone.
She is basically saying her struggled being a queer Muslim and face people stare just because she wear hijab
I can connect this to my self because I am experiencing the same when going out. Some people who stair at me like I am different than them or I have something on me that would make me wired. Most of them would start judging like they know me or what I have been through. I think we need to fight to lessen racism. Is evident it will not disappear the next day but we need to fight for it.
I can connect with this part the speech. As muslim man I is almost chocking how people assume your homophobic right by the time you tell them you are muslim. I shower you with question such as: What do you think about homosexual marriage ? Do you think 4 women will make you happy?
They want to judge as if they were God.instead they should accept themselves before they think or speak of someone’s life. However they thing that they forget we are same and made with Only One creator.
I think before she was converted in islam she had any idea how being muslim at the same time and woman it’s hard. I’m really happy to see someone who can understand me and a person who can advocated for muslim and all minorities. She also understands how the LGBTQ people felt. I think the young generation today is very open mind and this will bring a bright future.
Tucker Carlson is a American conservative Journalist who work on Fox News.
Not all the people want to integrate with other people on their labor area.
When it comes to representation, we always have room to grow. I’m really excited about TV shows like Pose and The Bold Type for presenting queer characters with storylines that go beyond that person’s identity.
Not all the people accept the multiculturalism is not people they don’t like is because people don’t want changes.
in the past there was lot of segregation about people of color, religion, culture and so many things. I think it’s time to move on this type of thoughts and being respectful to all different religion. if you are being respectful to other then you are expect to get this back.
It is very unusual to see a member of the LGBTQ community considering herself as a muslim. To be honest, I am not totally sure if I agree or not. Not because I hate gay, lesbian or bisexual, it’s just that religion or any other oriented group have specific criteria that you need to meet in order to consider a full fledge member of the group it’s like being a black person and wanting to join the KKK. Additionally, marring a person of the same sex in prohibited in Islam. However, unlike the KKK, Islam is a religion of forgiveness where your acceptance is decided based on your true faith, your connection between you and God no one else. Therefore, her speech is inspirational and every is possible when you have unconditional love.
So, we can see that not just muslim, or LGBTQ, race, but others are also living the same thing but we don’t know it. You have the right to hate or not like those kind of group, just think about it they are been feeling the same thing we are felling, when we are being discriminated. So we cannot say in public things like LGBTQ because you don’t even know if a person next to you is one of them. Just be careful when talking about it. Blair did not say she is in the LGBTQ but once she got convert into muslim she is just seeing how people are being judge. Let’s not judge people on who they are or what they are. She is just proud for being a muslim now, all we can do is support that.
I believe that this is very essential to speak for those ignorant people that just care about the money, as well as remind people about our environment. It is always key to reiterate the way that humans are living and how our world is becoming is very careless. He is speaking how our ignorance to environmental problems is going to end with human existence.
He aims to encourage companies and authorities to look for solutions and ideas to conserve our nature and environment. He encourages to those who are ambitious about accumulating great amount of money, to wake up and realize that at the end of the day, they live in the same world that they are slowly destroying.
So we are going to be happy to see the generation to change over time and take action.
new generation full of acknowledgement and strength to be the change in the world.
So I don’t think some people will accept the fact that we all are related.
The climate change affect all the living system in the planet including human being we are going to pay the consequences if we don’t everything to prevent more and more pollution
“climate change was going to be the defining issue of our time” for once, the whole world have an issue that is relevant for each an every individual. Someone would think that this time we fighting the some villain so we’ll unify but no. Nothing had actually been done although the issue is always addressed.
Climate Change is getting worst and worst but will affect more our generation. What is going to happen later will be danger for living things if people do not take awareness now to prevent more damage.
I like his metaphor planting seeds of solutions that can change the environment.
The same as plating seeds which also refer to trees.
Great start, suing the government they also have to intervene in the climate change because they allow big companies to pollute the air and water too.
I like the way how he also analyze that renewable energy will not affect the economic because will make a new job where people can work too.
Great question when is going to happen how long is going to take ?
we need to avoid further climate catastrophe.
wow I like his tone so true what he is saying a generation that put profits before future. That see that humans just care about money at all not about our generation. How they will be affecting if we don’t anything now ?
His only 15 years old but he is matured more than most of the adult and think they should hear him and stand with him to try to save our planet. We can save the next generation. people are minimized this it’s big issues and we should all care and try to change it as much we can in our own way by planting trees or do our best to make it possible.
Young generation we are deal with that for example the claim change that is happen in the whole world thanks to their pollution catastrophic the are given on the earth. And I strongly agree with this belief because water is the most precious commodity which we have because water is our life.then I have done some personnel effort in my life is to advise people no matter if you are close to me or not because I love and I respect this water precious that our nature gets forever.
Together we can change the world.
that the main theme nothing work is some people for example are cleaning the ocean when other are throwing garbage on the water. Nothing is moving further. We need to be unite.
In this video Edna Chavez speaks about how the discrimination still segregates undermined groups in society. She encourages authorities that we are tired of receiving unnecessary things. Things that are not richly benefiting students, when they try to just restrict the resources that people of color need in school, which is very important to reiterate.
culture. The power of staring in Spanish give her strength to be familiarize with most of the audience
objectify by stand up and give voice to others that is policy brutality. She feel sad and angry the same time angry since government are not doing a good thing in our society. it is why she is protest with others by given a strong words.I can connect this issue with my homeland Togo because the government just kill the population for no reasons and they are think is good thing . Since the don’t have right to talk or saying anything and this is wrong policy because it is population who made country policy good not only person.
`
I like her strategy she is involving the audience. Giving then the option to participate too.
her bother seen to be like her own motivation to do this speech, and taking him as an example it would encourage people to understand that every life matter.
when I Open the news every single day I see there is a school shooting and it is kind normal to see every day ( just like Edna say)and students are running to save there life,parents are waiting and crying. they don’t know whats waiting for them, they don’t know is there son or daughter still alive or they have to go home with a corpse. the day by day violence and crime increase and taking people life.
The government should do something to prevent this horrible feeling, the result of innocent people dying just because immature people have a free accept to weapons without any government regulation.
becuase life go on and everything needs to continue.
I totally agree people are so uses to this problems when someone suffer because of this.
We need to change this no weapons should be accessible to people they is no any reasonable reason why people should carry guns. That why exist police they safe us.
This is so real, by just seeing flower and candles on the street is no solving anything.
let go people wake up !!!!!!
People need justice
the government should be aware what the community need and want that why they are in power to improve everything that is causing problems, they work for us that democracy.
I don’t why they want to take off people’s lives just like that. How they feel about killing another human been. Are they thinking about how they family or friend will feel
its not about security, its not about safety because we can not feel safe if the violence issue is not address or taken care of…
She is addressing that fostering a peaceful environment for high school students will be achieved if politicians pay attention to establishing more metal health rehab or mentor ship programs . she totally denounce the idea of bringing more security to the school or arming the teachers.
They should listen to the young people, and stop gun violence and also focused on supporting the youth and helped them to change this. therefore helping the young generation to have a better it should be priority because they will be the future adult and leaders.
