covering

I agree with th Don't ask, Don't tell policy. I feel like people are automatically assuming that this is a bad thing to happen, but probably many people that would not want to fight next to gays and may not be willing defend them. Also gay have been stereotyped, so many people may not think they are not tough enough to make it in the military.This policy may be for the safety of the gays. At the same time however, I think that it should be up to the gays to tell others if they are gay. It is their right to say and act however they want.

I am going to look in to the software video that you showed in class. If not i will probably be using powerpoint. I am going to take key information from my paper, possibly my interviews, and I will look for a video to help show the issue of racism. I am not sure what source I will be doing, but if you have any suggestions on what to use please let me know.

Career

I am still undecided but I am looking into Criminal Justice for a major. In this field I am looking into becoming a Coroner possibly.  Coroners look at people that have recently died and determine the cause of death. They have many cases daily and investigate the location of the crime, if one was committed. Also they meet with the family of the person that has died to inform them the cause, such as: murder, accident, or suicide.

I feel this would be a good job for me because it is interesting everyday. Another reason I would be good at this is I have interened with the Coroner in Rockford, IL. I learned a lot and it was very fun. One important thing for the job is to not let the people's emotions for their loved ones get to you. I would not be affected by this, not because I am a bad person but because I tend to always hide my emotions.

Equal Education

This is problematic because people with disabiliteis still can do things and they need to be acknowledged. With these disabilities come difficulties at work due to them, but they will be over came. Her tone is a more serious one and is to get the point accross to the readers. She feels this way because she has personal experience with these things. Minority groups are more likely to be put in a special ed. class because when they come to America they are going to have a harder time in understanding the language. One example of how they change things is that animals that help the disabled can not be told they cannot come into a store or a work place as long as its not harming anyone or causing trouble.

interview

My partner for this interview was Brad. I started the interview by asking what my partner's major is. Brad's major is special education. I also asked why he chose this for a major. Brad said that at first he was not planning on major in special education but he took a class, which made him decide that "this is for me." He plans on becoming a special education teacher at the Elementary level, but he is not sure as of where he would like to teach yet.

feminism

I have been raised in a household were the woman is not treated differently than the man. In my house my mom still does laundry and cooks but if I was asked to do so I would be expected to do it. No one is making her do it she just does. I do not know if thats how it use to be when she was younger and she learned that that was her "role" but i would not expect a woman to do certain things around the house. I feel like i will not have a problem overcoming feminism. I dont really have any problems with women having male jobs for example. But I will continue view women equal to men.
