The Gender Gap

The gender gap is still an issue that is debated today between men and women. Stereotypical views of men and women still exist around the world. Even in this picture above, men are portrayed with the color blue, while women with the color pink. There are many other characteristics that people tend to associate with a certain gender, such as strong for men, and emotional for women. Even though bopth genders hold these characteristics, people still continue to hold these views.

What do you think about the gender gap? Is it still a big issue? How can these stereotypes be gotten rid of?

On Native Soil Reaction

On Native Soil did a very good job depicting the events of September 11th, 2001. The film provided very good evidence on how these attacks against our nation could have been prevented. The evidence showed the many warning signs that were ignored. The music during the very emotional scenes of the planes crashing and the chaos down below the towers was very good because it gave the events a certain emotion that really depicted the events and captivated the moods of the people on that day. The people that were interviewed that either experienced the tragedy first hand, or loved ones of the people that were lost, gave viewers of the documentary a real sense of the damage that was done. I thought that this film was very good and informative of the events on this day. It provided good evidence of how the goverment failed to stop this, and the overall damage that was done, to both families and the country as a whole.
