Un-American Blog

I have to say being un-American is not following the laws of America. There are laws for the citizens and even visitors/tourists that we have to obey. An American is taught from youth to follow the laws America has made and are forced to follow them by law. To be American doesn't have any types of beliefs because it's made with many different types of beliefs. There were many religions and beliefs that didn't start in America. It is difficult to define what un-American is because different people have many different opinions on what un-American is. Americans get to decide what un-American is, since they're American. So who gets to decide what’s American & what's un-American? We the people get to decide what's un-American is because we have the right to have freedom of speech, so we have the right to say what's un-American and what not.

Thank you very much.

From what I see in this picture is a bunch of men living in a crowded room. They are staying in a place that is not in good condition to be staying in and not safe as well. Freak that, that’s not even a room that a kitchen withal them pots and pans. Everything and everyone is piled up against other things and each other….  All of these men look so uncomfortable & depressed. These men look’s so tired from working so hard trying to support their self. And all they have is a blanket to cover them self up in & keep warm...

I also see a lot of pots and pans, but do they even have any food to eat? From the looks of it, it doesn't look like they eaten for days. This condition is not good for them and their health. I wish I could help them , if I could I would .

The conditions workers in China face currently with those of workers in America at the turn of the century

Immigrants had a hard time living up to their dreams and meeting their expectations in America. Asian immigrants had trouble finding  jobs because they didn't understand our language and culture. Because they couldn't get a job, they couldn't find a home . It was hard for them to adjust to life in a large city.   Immigrants were willing to work long hours with low wages because they needed to earn enough money for their family for food and shelter.  Chinese immigrants worked as laborers and suffered from racial hatred. They were unskilled, inexperienced workers.

Primary Sources : The purpose Primary Documents serves in history, How has it changed in two decades & the impact it still have on the "telling" of history

Primary source give us first hand insights into the past. They are also the most important tools an historian has for developing an understanding of an event. Primary sources serve as the evidence an historian uses in developing an interpretation and in building an argument to support that interpretation. A lot has changed because there are more technology today, people are using computers, laptop etc. The impacts that primary documents will have on telling history is that we learn more stuff of what happen in the past & gain more skills for researching sources .

How does culture influence your lives, how did it make you the person you are today & how different would you be had you grown up in a different culture?

My khmer culture influence my live in every way & made me the person I am today because it taught me how to respect my elders, the way i speak & my manners toward other because if I don't respect other how are they gonna respect me. It also show me the right way to dress Growing up in a different culture would be hard on me, I'm gonna have to learn a whole new different language, a different culture & different beliefs.

What does it mean to be American ?

Being an American is about being  free and loyal. It's about having freedom of religion, rights, and justice. It's also about being about yourself. means that we are all treated equally no matter what color skin you have, and it doesn't matter what culture you are from.

Inspiration Blog #1 - Jessie J - "Who You Are "

I love this song. To me it basically means that no one's perfect, everyone cries, and everyone makes mistake. Deep down inside, we all feel the same way about bad situations. But we can all be unique in our own way. there's nothing wrong with who you are.
