Some thoughts from my class - Multiculturalism and the Media

So I was looking over some of my work for my JTC 316: Multiculturalism and the Media class and I found some of it to be blog worthy. Enjoy!

(All the blog posts from today, the one below this one and the 8 above are all from my class.)

I promise I will get back to my normal slower blogging habits later this week. :)

Why is it so hard for people to recycle?

Recycling is the easiest thing that an individual can do in this world in order to make a little change that causes a big difference. Is it too much to ask?  Don't people understand that if it is don't correctly that you are helping to preserve the world one plastic bottle at a time!? It is not just about Global Warming, it is about preserving the worlds resources and also not filling the world full of garbage, literally!! In fact some countries are running out of space to put their garbage, so now they are sending it to other countries, so that they have to deal with it. That is just plain wrong, we can't take care of our own problems, so we push them on someone else, that is unbelievable.  I know it is a lifestyle choice and that it may require a bit more effort, but it the right infrastructure is put into place then it is as easy as can be.  Even if you can't recycle at least believing in the idea of it is good. Yet some people don't even think that. They can...

Caring, it makes the world go round.....

And if we don't care about ourselves, who else is going to?  I just think that we need to care beyond this, we need to take a moment and care about someone/something else, the environment, poverty, war....anything! Then we would be fighting for something, perhaps not for OUR future, but THE future. The future for people and things who are affected (directly or indirectly) by our actions.  Now I am not saying that we all don't care about things other than ourselves, because we do everyday of our lives, I just think we need to care more (myself included). Or maybe we just need to take a breath from our own lives occassionally to realize the world that is right in front of us.  A world worth caring for...
