What does the American Dream mean to me? It means everyone is individuality at a whole. We should all work together as one and create a large community. Instead we would rather blow each other up and judge one another for our differences, when our differences should be the beauty in life and bring us together.
The American dream, in my eyes only apply to white Americans. It seems everyone else struggles to be a citizen and to live the American dream. We prevent a lot of people from living it because of the struggle we have to make things fair and keeping the economy straight, all at once. We basically fail at it. There's people getting special treatments because they're rich and there's people struggling because we won't give them a chance. There's illegal people stealing jobs from citizens that need it more. We all need it equally but where we belong. Why people want to ruin someones elses chances is just how the Americans work.
The American Dream will one day be created or re-destroyed. The way it looks now we will have to recreate the American dream to meet todays standards.

Apple Racism Controversy: Company Apologizes After Australia Store Ejects Black Students Over Shoplifting Concerns
By Suman VarandaniOn November 12th, 2015 in Australia, 6 black teens were kicked out of the Apple store for suspension of shop lifting. "These guys (security guards) are just worried about your presence in our store. They're just worried you might steal something" stated by an Apple staff member.
This is absolutely crazy. Because they were black they couldn't shop in that store. It shouldnt matter what race you are you should feel welcomed in any store. People these day act like because people are a different color that they're bad people, that just shows their true colors. No one can help what race they are, why are we still judging people by it.
Apple did apologize. I'm not sure why the bothered to apologize. They showed their opinion and expressed it in the wrong way. I'm surprised Apple didn't lose more customers with that incident.They shouldn't have suspicion of anyone that comes in the store, everyone should be treated the same and equal. Shame on Apple
Racism wil never go away and neithe riwll the bandwagon. I'm glad to see someone finally stood up for what the believed in. I think they handled it the best that they could. The football players told their coaches and they agreedto it, which i find very mature.
Everything the facuilty did was appropriate. The handled it well.
I agree with what they're trying to say. I believe that this is something that they believed in so they went for it. Everyone honestly should support it. They don't allow racism so the enforced the rule.
other ways to address racism is to put yourself in situations that people have to be ok with, preach about it, enforce it.

My first reaction to this video is "wow"... how could an officer do that to a student. No one should / no adult should be treating a kid / student like that. He is an officer, he should know how to control his anger and what could she have possible done to deserve to be thrown around like that. He is an officer, he should know how to control his anger. All i kept thinking is what could she have possibly done to deserve to be thrown around like that.
After reading the article i realize my statement above is sort of false. She wouldn't do as she was told to do so something had to be done. I don't believe any contact should have been made. Like they said, if this would've been done to a dog the officer would have been sent to prison and i agree with that. This is a human being and no one should be treated that way. The girl should have been more respectful anyways.
" White privilage" is a thing because if a white person would have done that , the situation would have been handeled different. He probably would not have touched her because cops think of african american as horrible people although that is how the portray themselves.
I do think most white people are racist just so they don't get judged for being different.

Any
student should be mature enough to read a book that has the word in it, I'm
sure the author had a valid point in using the word in his/her writing and if
its published anyone should or could read it. When i read the word, I
personally just keep reading, it's just another normal word to me. Yes, i know
the meaning but the meaning is only how you portray it. Books that have the
word in it (in my opinion) should be released as if it was any other book. When
the book is read aloud it does seem a little intense and powerful but still
just another word. This day and age everyone in our generation uses the
word, the more friendly one. It's in music, now in books and could continue to
stay that way our generation is more understanding with the word when used with
respect. It shouldn't be this way in this day and age, by this point everything
should be equal. If it were to be replaced people would try and be too
sensitive and make a big deal out of it. The word, the n-word, will never be at
ease to say. You can read it in a book and then you’ll see the book on the news
for discriminating or anything someone can come up with. If I were you, I would
move on.

Strength and weaknesses
I
think my strong suit is picking the topic for my story, creating the general
idea and making up the characters. I normally prefer to have stories with
multiple characters, then creating multiple events. I like to make tragedies,
having a character get lost and then have a happy ending. I'm also pretty good at having a beginning,
middle and end to my stories.
My weakness in writing would be
punctuation and grammar. I can’t spell to save my life and most of the time I
use punctuation where it doesn’t belong. Most of the time when I’m writing an
essay I repeat myself a lot and won’t notice it until someone points it out.
Sometimes I get carried away with my multiple events and I start talking about
everything at once but at a different time. I tend to .
