Last day of Class

YEA!

I enjoyed the in class part of final. I thought it was different way to take in all that we had learned this year and apply it. I think that there needed to be some directing the movements. Maybe not in charge but just someone managing time and asking the tought questions. I think that some of them were address or where eventually going to be dealt with.
After leaving the class i felt that some things were still left undone. There was a divide with in the class if weather of not blowing something up is a violent act or not. the majority felt that destroying property can be nonviolent.

I think these taught us that their might be more that one group with in a community. We could have broken off in to different groups like in Civil Rights movement. They all had different goals and stagties but where able to united. I feel like that was what dynamic we had.

I think we would have spilt up in different areas. It seemed like there were a few similar goal but some people had different interest.
It was hard to make sure everyone was heard. Because we had time restriction. In addition we want to the conversation to move us forwarded not us back. It did at times go around in circles and it was hard to get out of ruts.
It hard to get a agreement that everyone is happy with. We had goals but everyone had different ways in achieving those goals. Overall I think we were able to get a could game plan.

Nonviolence Movement

For the personal projected I wanted to do something but I could really think of anything. So I wrote a paper on the Singing Revolution. I thought that I should write my thoughts about weather or not sports are violent. I have come to the conclusion that over all they are not.



It is different for every person but in my opinion I see them a growing and learning experience. Sports teach people how to work with other people along with foster personal growth. While some sport do involving hitting but they are done in a control setting. As long as you keep the violence on the field, it is ok.



Sports don't become violence unless atheltes make them violent. There is an unspoken saying in sports that anything that happens on the field stays on the field. I think that is a good to have rule like that. Sport is suppose to be a way to let people get there agression out.



Sports give you a control setting to get angry out without hurting people. I think that sports allow for a control setting where violnce can be used.
