Blog for Feb. 10

Class on Tuesday was really interesting when talked about diversity. I think my favorite part about class that day was watching that short video on the Little Rock Nine and the discussion we had on the parents. Those parents who sent their kids to school, even though they were receiving death threats, were so courageous. Personally i would have the most difficult time sending my child to a school where they are not accepted and people are treating them like dogs. I would be so stressed out. That's how I imagine those parents were. Stressed out, and having a hard time doing other activities that they would  normally do every day. Hats off to those guys! Another part of Tuesday's discussion that i enjoyed was talking about was the independence and interdependence and how in psychology courses students are told that in Asia they are one way and in Europe they are another. But in actuality it really isn't that way at all. I found that so interesting and i think this was the part of the lecture that is going to help me the most; especially when I'm interviewing my family. This will help me go into the interview with a more open mind.
