WHO AM I

Ever since August 6th of 2013 my views have changed of the world. I see in a new light people and behaviors. But for myself I am still the same person. I'm still energetic, athletic, sociable, easy going, and loving. Today I can look at a person and pick their brains a part and read their minds. This skill did not just come easy, I had to pay close attention to Mr. Reints to obtain these skills. For that I thank you Mr. Reints for these amazing skills. By the way this is my last blog so YOLO.

Losers and winners

In any type of society you will need winners and losers. You will also find winners and losers in any society. Anytime in these days you will almost never find someone who is considered a "winner" without making someone a "loser" in their success. This is the reason why there will never be a Utopia society because a society will always need losers and winners. That is why a Utopia is a lost cause for any person to obtain, because only way one could create that society would to be that everyone in that society would be equal. In any society where there is free will that will never be possible cause you will always have people stepping on other people to further themselves in life.
So in any society you will always have loser and winners no matter how hard you try to avoid it. So the only thing you could come close to evening the winners and losers is for people to develop good morals and understanding of one another.

Flat tax or Flat tire

In our government and how our people view taxes, there will never be a perfect system for the government to collect taxes. When it comes to the taxes either way the government collects them someone will feel as if they are getting the short end of the stick. By this I means like the lower class may feel as if they are paying more than the rich and vice versa. The rich also may feel as if they should not have to pay more than the poor because they earned their money themselves.
I do believe that a tax of percentage at a set rate would produce the best result throughout the United States. Like having a 17% set rate would be good, because then everyone is losing the same percentage of their pay checks. This way would still cause many problems throughout United States because the rich will feel like they are giving up more of their paychecks when in reality the other classes of the class system are giving up the same percentage. Any other way you set up the tax collecting would cause just a lot more problems.
Like a set amount for every citizen because, that amount may not affect the rich as much as it would the poor because $5000 to one person may be nothing but to another it could mean if they can eat supper at night or not. So this way of the government collecting taxes would only decrease the middle class and increase the lower class and this is neither what United States wants nor needs. The United States needs a stronger middle class and we should be helping people leave the lower class into the Upper class and middle class. So a set percentage of taxes would do the United States good from my point of view.

 

Catfish

I believe that "catfish" are a necessity for people to stay alert and focused, because otherwise we would get complacent. While the term means someone who pretends to be someone else I also believe the quote they have at the movie also relates to things that motivate us to not get complacent. Like some people may have kids and their kids drive them to always get better and do better for the kids. I believe the urban dictionary word catfish means things that may drive us to get things done that we would otherwise push away and not complete.
In my life I believe that the catfish in my life is not someone but things like school academically, in sports competitively, and friends. Without these things I may get complacent and not strive to accomplish goals or even set goals for that matter. This brings me to this point, that catfish whether it is a person or an idea/thought, it causes people to set goals and always strive to be accomplished.
So yes, catfish are a necessity for people because without it/them people may not set goals for themselves or be focused.

Response

The article on how people responded to the split second the receive to determined whether the person was a hostile with a weapon. But it was found out that people responded faster to the black people while most of them didn't even have weapons at all, but the white ones didn't get shot as fast.
The article on how the Jew's were dominating the basketball world with their god given balance and speed. This was until 1950's when blacks entered the sport where then the blacks dominated to present day.
The next article was about how someone wrote an article about an Korean basketball play got acknowledge for how he was good at basketball. But the article said Korean basketball player instead of just his name. Which this relates to the stereotype that Asians are not as good as others do, such as blacks and whites.

Immigration

Now days in American there are many people complaining about not there being any jobs around for them to support them and their families.  But it is the opposite of what is happening now days, there are plenty of jobs out there for many Americans to take.  The problem is that many of these Americans do not want to do these jobs because of the fact that they want more money for these jobs.  But the immigrants will do the same work, may do it even better but they will also do it for less money too. So the fact that Americans won't to take the jobs because of the pay is their own fault.


There are plenty of aliens that take these jobs, which isnt a bad thing for the employers. But this arises a problem for when citizen of the US trying taking these jobs for more money but the employers only hire aliens because the fact that they will do the same work for less money and less benefits. So this causes a problem for the US workers finding jobs in the labor part of the work force in the US. But this is only our own fault for being greedy with the work/ pay for a job.

Blog quiz

The book "Animal Farm" is all based on psychology and sociology connection such as conflict theory and functionalist theory. The connection such as how they have the pig leader Napoleon as Joseph Stalin who slowly takes over the animal farm and does so with raising little suspicion amongst the animals.  Napoleon with the help of other fellow pigs, Mr. Frederickson (Adolf Hitler), and the dogs of which he raised from the beginning of the story which he used to over throw the competition that Snowball had against Napoleon. While many of the animals had doubts and suspicion of the pigs and dogs of the farm no one dared to go against leaders of the farm of fearing of what may happen.  This type of government system shows similar characteristics of dictatorship or communism coming into power.

The way the pigs advanced their way to the top of the government system by telling the animals of the farm that they were smart and would handle all of the situations that dealt with brain power.  From the beginning of when the pigs established the animal farm the neglected to keep their promises to the animals of the farm. First they slowly changed many of the seven commandments that they started out with, so that they would bend in the favor of the pigs and dogs.  But this is not how Old Major wanted the new system of control to work; Old Major wanted the new system to gain independence for all animals alike.  But the power and green became too much for the animals in charge and they soon began to abuse their power and mistreat all of the animals below them.  Such has when they promised plenty to eat for animals and easier work days. They soon turned around on the animals and actually cut down food rations and increased the work load that the animals had to do.

Napoleon and his cabinet of other pigs and dogs had ways of making the animals work harder and more with a purpose.  Such as when the windmill had been destroyed the pigs convinced the animals of the farm that Snowball had come back to seek revenge on the farm, when really it was only the storm the night before.  But this is just another way of how the pigs used their position of power to manipulate the animals of the farm to work in the favor of the pigs.

 Towards the end of the book you could start to tell that the animals of the farm had like rights/ independence that Old Major had mentioned at the beginning of the book.  But just the opposite; the animals received less food, harder work, and less independence than ever.  This only prove to show that the power of the animals was in the pigs hands, by the end of the book pigs were disobeying all of the previous seven commandments that had original been proposed before all of the amendments that occurred to them. In the end the pigs were walking on two feet, had the sheep chanting in the farm "four legs good two legs better", had established a great working relationship with the local farmers, and the animals could not tell the difference the humans and the pigs playing cards in the house formerly owned by Mr. Jones.

The class system was simply humans and animals, but by the end of the book there was animals in the social class with humans. The performances by the animals who served the pigs and dogs deserved the reward, while the pigs and dogs deserved nothing because they had destroyed the animal’s already terrible lives. But in the end the pigs were rewarded for manipulating the animals of Mr. Jones's farm. By the end of the book the "Animal Farm" never reached a healthy balance between powers. All the book showed was how power can only be tolerated for so long before another power comes along to over throw it, but makes same mistakes and creating a greed hungry government all over again. The cycle will never end until people get rid of all greed that they have for power.
