Susie Fono: Holocaust survivor

Susie really confirmed that not only is there a God, but he is always on time. Just when her life could've ended he saved her just in time. Her dad really amazed me on how much he risk his life getting back to his family. " He would rather die trying to get back to us than in the camps." wow! courage and he did come back to them. I really enjoyed her and her husbands love for each other after so many years you can tell they are still deep in love with each other and she " run me" as Bob put it. The holocaust happened when she was a kid, but she can remember so much of the terrible event.



 " Never forget that two words can make such a big difference. I love you can change a persons day, so call and tell your grandparents or parents you love them." " My son still comes in the house and give me a hug and kiss and tell me he loves me."

DreamWorld vs RealWorld

In the " Dream World" of music videos it consist of idealizing men as a womanizing creature that can have any girl they choose. Women are sexual driven creatures that wants to hump on any guy in sight. Not only is this ridiculously incorrect, but what the film didn't show was how the women are more than willing to do it. How they get paid pennies on the dollar to be half naked in videos and some just do it for publicity. The women aren't "disguising" it's the moral and value point of it that it. The girls go in the "modeling" business knowing what there getting into. Every man want the dream world life, so why not portray it in a fantasy video. Far as men doing it in the Real World is very ridiculous. Producers know that videos portray a fantasy that men want to fulfill. Nevertheless, most men keep fantasies as just that, a fantasy. I felt it was kinda crazy that every video they showed was mostly a hip hop one, like other genres of music don't have half naked, booty shaking, women in it.....just my observation.
Just a little humor! lol

ReThinking Identity: Hawaii

Hawaii is one of the many countries that was ripped from there independence. Everything was taking from them, even there spiritual dance, the Hula. After watching this video I became very sympathetic for the Hawaiians. I started to understand what African Americans had to go through, when my ancestors were tooken from there home land. Not wanting to give up there identity or life they once knew as perfect. Americans took their hospitality and used them for merchandising purposes. Building the Pearl Harbor and various different hotels on the beach that they were not allowed to go to. Once again Americans turned a country into a money target! It never fails....if we just keep our hands away from other peoples property we wouldn't be in so much debt. The high cost of living there caused diabetes to sky rock and death. Throughout it all Hawaiians came together to celebrate there life. A student in class said " We only purchased two things we ever owned everything else we took by force." This is very true not only did we take it, but we changed their surroundings. Tricked and manipulated them out of everything they owned.

ReThinking Governance & Citizenship

I rarely watch the news now, but after watching this video I really dislike it. The truth is that the News idealize the military, for the trouble Bush caused to the world. He was never really meant to be President, just trying to follow in daddy's footsteps. The news glorify war and bombings, we as people only get to hear one side of the story. Everyhing else is covered up for the government to know and we are naiive to the real facts of the problem. When something happen, like the flim explain it gets treated as " Must see Tv", watching the battle like its an award show. The News anchors are very dedicated to the bad, but rarely notices the good. They're risking there lives for Tv and for views, putting their self in horrible situations for stories we only hear the half of.  They even adapt the military language! glorifying it with music and emotional appeal.....not right. So, to answer the question of a fellow classmmate.....The truth, we never get... http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/militainment-inc/
