Give explanations in addition to making statements to develop your thinking/writing https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2469964 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2469964 Mon, 17 May 2021 09:57:55 -0400 That's an interesting question that is brought up by the documentary we will be watching parts of this week. Basically, it depends on whether the action is also illegal (gov't passed a law prohibiting the action) https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2469962 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2469962 Mon, 17 May 2021 09:56:55 -0400 Expand on this thought, why is the passage of the Separate Car Act surprising/interesting in relation to those amendments? https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2469958 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2469958 Mon, 17 May 2021 09:54:46 -0400 separate but equal https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2361492 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2361492 How does the separate but equal doctrine impact American history, especially in the South? Tue, 02 Mar 2021 10:33:53 -0500 case structure https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2361469 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2361469 any court case has two sides: the one suing/prosecuting their case and the side defending. Each side can have multiple parties involved. But it's not always about "getting what one wants." It's about the court interpreting what the law means and if it is constitutional or not. Tue, 02 Mar 2021 10:17:37 -0500 Clarify this a bit. Plessy was 1/8 African American but was very light skinned. Plessy was selected in part because he was so light skinned. How would trains know if people were actually non-white? So how could people be treated equally? https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2359672 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2359672 Mon, 01 Mar 2021 13:55:06 -0500 So historically speaking, why don't we have an equal society today if we've had the equal protection clause in place for 150 years already? https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2359665 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2359665 Mon, 01 Mar 2021 13:50:36 -0500 As well as anyone else who didn't fit the definition of "white" https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2359661 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2359661 Mon, 01 Mar 2021 13:48:54 -0500 "non-white" https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2359657 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2359657 This is related to the idea of the "one drop rule" which dictates that if someone has any of a certain ancestry the person is categorized with that ancestry. This does not recognize intersectionality of identity (being multi-ethnic) Mon, 01 Mar 2021 13:46:22 -0500 Absolutely correct. So why did the judges rules differently in 1896? https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358778 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358778 Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:41:31 -0500 Federalism and State Sovereignty https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358758 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358758 Judge Ferguson basically is stating that since Louisiana made laws only for Louisiana and not another state it was constitutional. If Louisiana had tried to make the law apply to another state (like Texas or Missouri for example) then the law would be unconstitutional because states can only make laws for themselves. Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:35:05 -0500 https://www.oyez.org/cases/1850-1900/163us537 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358756 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358756 Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:32:16 -0500 Good question. I believe they were connected through participation in the citizen group that organized to challenge the Separate Car Act https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358741 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358741 Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:30:12 -0500 Clarification question: are you speaking of the court case challenging the law or when the law was passed? https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358738 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358738 Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:32:16 -0500 Expand on that. What does that mean in reality? How were those ideas applied? https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358736 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358736 Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:27:14 -0500 We've always had class systems based off of ethnic background, money, gender, sexual identification and orientation, etc. https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358735 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358735 Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:26:46 -0500 Would you agree with that analysis? Why or why not? https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358732 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2358732 Mon, 01 Mar 2021 13:50:36 -0500 So how does context influence interpretation? https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2346292 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2346292 Mon, 22 Feb 2021 13:23:30 -0500 How does experience and interpretation influence how law is created and applied? https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2346273 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2346273 Mon, 22 Feb 2021 13:22:34 -0500 Does everybody always respect equality? Or put it into practice? https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2346253 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2346253 Mon, 22 Feb 2021 13:21:50 -0500 Amendments are like shields. Just because they exist does not mean they protect you. We have to use them to protect ourselves from attacks on our rights. But they don't mean an attack will never happen. https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2346251 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2346251 Mon, 22 Feb 2021 13:20:44 -0500 Correct, because what message is being sent to each group when they are separated? https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2346245 https://nowcomment.com/documents/234396?scroll_to=2346245 Mon, 22 Feb 2021 13:19:24 -0500 US abandons the Afghans led by Osama bin Laden. This is a contributing factor to 9/11 terrorist attacks https://nowcomment.com/documents/246346?scroll_to=2256127 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246346?scroll_to=2256127 Mon, 04 Jan 2021 12:48:42 -0500 post revolutionary Cuba https://nowcomment.com/documents/246346?scroll_to=2250647 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246346?scroll_to=2250647 The US controlled much of the land in Cuba when Batista was in power. But after Castro's revolution the Americans were limited to Guantanamo Bay Mon, 21 Dec 2020 12:41:29 -0500 unstable and unsafe China in the early 20th century https://nowcomment.com/documents/246346?scroll_to=2250646 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246346?scroll_to=2250646 The economic and technology systems were backwards because China had been under the rule of foreigners and warlords for a number of years. China lacked the stability to thrive economically and technologically. What Enlightenment ideal was violated by the foreigners and warlords? Mon, 21 Dec 2020 12:39:02 -0500 This is during industrialization. Workers would strike to try and get more power to negotiate things like higher pay or safer working conditions. https://nowcomment.com/documents/246346?scroll_to=2249438 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246346?scroll_to=2249438 Fri, 21 May 2021 08:52:47 -0400 The Russian Revolution didn't happen until 12 years later. This might show a cause of the Revolution https://nowcomment.com/documents/246346?scroll_to=2249156 https://nowcomment.com/documents/246346?scroll_to=2249156 Fri, 18 Dec 2020 09:01:01 -0500 Sometimes parents would have a very hard time finding work. Many factories would hire children whenever they could because children could be paid far less. That meant fewer jobs for adults https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123120 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123120 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 Do most companies and businesses truly place the care of their workers first? https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123119 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123119 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 he was just too exhausted https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123118 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123118 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 yes, they would wake him in the morning https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123116 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123116 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 How would this system need to change in order to keep this child safe? https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123115 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123115 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 How do you think that impacted the children? https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123111 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123111 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 The managers often operated in fear for their own jobs and so passed on that fear using violence. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123104 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123104 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 How are workers protected from this kind of treatment today? Are they? https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123102 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123102 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 Fear mostly. But fear of what (probably more than just one thing)? https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123101 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123101 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 The managers would be afraid of losing their own job if they didn't beat the children and so used violence to make sure the children always worked harder. Isn't that such a horrible system? How are we protected from such abuses today in the workplace? https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123099 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123099 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 So why was he at work instead of school? https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123096 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123096 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 Absolutely correct! So what do you think is that important claim that Michael Sadler is making? https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123095 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123095 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 Michael Sadler was a British representative who saw how bad working conditions were for factory workers and decided to have an investigation. That way he could prove it was a system wide problem https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123094 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123094 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 yes, child laborers generally came from VERY poor families https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123093 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123093 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:03 -0400 Why is that significant? https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123091 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233873?scroll_to=2123091 When annotating documents, go beyond just identifying important info.

If I were Indian I would see that and think "That's what you are afraid of? That's TOTALLY what I'm doing then, thanks for the tips!" https://nowcomment.com/documents/203946?scroll_to=1897961 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203946?scroll_to=1897961 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:02 -0400 incite - to start or persuade others to violent or unlawful action https://nowcomment.com/documents/203946?scroll_to=1897959 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203946?scroll_to=1897959 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:02 -0400 Gandhi wasn't waiting for anybody to give Indians power. He wanted to organize and take power back, just using peaceful means. https://nowcomment.com/documents/203946?scroll_to=1897953 https://nowcomment.com/documents/203946?scroll_to=1897953 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:02 -0400 *facepalm* https://nowcomment.com/documents/200406?scroll_to=1869839 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200406?scroll_to=1869839 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:02 -0400 remote learning https://nowcomment.com/documents/200406?scroll_to=1869819 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200406?scroll_to=1869819 the kids were watching a movie preview and in it the school was shut down for some incident. The kids start jumping up and down cheering, "School's closed!" Dylan just sadly shook his head and said quietly, "It's not as great as you'd think." Thu, 10 Feb 2022 08:31:54 -0500 mechanization https://nowcomment.com/documents/200406?scroll_to=1869797 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200406?scroll_to=1869797 We were just having this conversation in our home last night. C19 is really going to further push the labor divide towards further mechanization and remote working. So where does that leave the labor pool? And it also leaves the question of how much do we value relationships as a fundamental part of our work experiences? Does it need to have valuation on a quantifiable economic scale in order for it to be given due deference for labor and management interactions? Thu, 29 Jul 2021 17:51:02 -0400 Ack, who throws away knowledge?! https://nowcomment.com/documents/200406?scroll_to=1869782 https://nowcomment.com/documents/200406?scroll_to=1869782 Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:02 -0400 artifacts for students https://nowcomment.com/documents/118687?scroll_to=1583225 https://nowcomment.com/documents/118687?scroll_to=1583225 My main concern is how do students maintain tangible artifacts to have on hand to utilize and refer to when writing final products? Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:02 -0400 dehumanizing https://nowcomment.com/documents/158541?scroll_to=1509767 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158541?scroll_to=1509767 The dehumanization of portions of society is done as a tactic to keep diverse segments from uniting to challenge the status quo Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:02 -0400 systematic oppression as a result https://nowcomment.com/documents/158541?scroll_to=1509762 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158541?scroll_to=1509762 This directly results in systematic oppression of those that do not hold power, whether it be based upon gender, race, socioeconomic status, etc. The "Law and Order" crowd exists purely for the sake of obedience and does not value those that are able to question and challenge the system built to maintain the power structures in existence. This roots again in the idea of the individual as many use individualistic reasoning to validate their own actions (nobody helped me, I follow the rules, etc.) Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:02 -0400 at odds with American ideals https://nowcomment.com/documents/158541?scroll_to=1509741 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158541?scroll_to=1509741 This is also at odds with the truly American belief in American exceptionalism that rests its foundation upon the power of rugged individualism. Society is often, in practice, not valued most highly within the American culture. This is evident by the difficulty with which we are able to subsume our own individualistic desires in order to advance socially. Sun, 10 Dec 2023 23:36:44 -0500 premise https://nowcomment.com/documents/158541?scroll_to=1509736 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158541?scroll_to=1509736 This assumes a premise that this is the purpose of education. There are many that would disagree and see education as utilitarian. Thusly, education that goes beyond the range of the traditional becomes labeled as "indoctrination" and is viewed as a dangerous encroachment upon the realm of the parent. Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:02 -0400 rot https://nowcomment.com/documents/158541?scroll_to=1509717 https://nowcomment.com/documents/158541?scroll_to=1509717 American rotting from the inside out from its own poisons Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:02 -0400 Quiet voices heard https://nowcomment.com/documents/118687?scroll_to=1509707 https://nowcomment.com/documents/118687?scroll_to=1509707 I think this would be good to utilize within discussions whether they be formal structured ones like Socratic Seminars or informal discussions. The online format pushes inclusion while allowing "quiet" students voice in a different form. The added layer of technology allows for students to have a filter between themselves and their audience. This is especially important for kids who suffer from performance anxieties. Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:12:02 -0400
