Blog for Cooper #4 thoughts on the cluster

One of the common themes that I have noticed in all three classes is the distinction of something being expected to be followed and something actually being fallowed. In Linguistic class there is the prescriptive approached and the thought that in today nobody really follows this rules. In human rights there is the difference between theory and reality when it comes to the law and how it pursued in a daily day basis. In English 101 there is the though of actual justice being done and the theoretically justice. This is shown in the book Southern Horrors and Other Writings in the action of lynching. The class being diverse does not really change the cluster. However, it does make the class discussion more interesting.

biography

    My name is Melina Del Carmen Baez. I was born in Dominican Republic on October 13,1993. My dad made the family come to the United States, when I was 5. I first lived in Washington Height in New York. After 5 years my parents decided to move to Jamaica Queens. In my point of view it is an extreme change of environment.  I don’t really have any hobbies. I just view my life as a puzzle that need to be put together. I first attended PS 132 in Manhattan from kindergarten to 4^th grade. However, I did third grade at Dominican Republic. Then, I went to PS 160 from fifth grade to six grade. I attended also IS 8 as my Junior High from 7^th grade to 8^th grade. After all of that I went to John Bowne High School in Flushing.

    I believe Human Rights are a very important part of every person’s life. Mainly because it can change a person life depending on how many rights that person has.  I am fluent in Spanish and English. However, sometimes I mispronounce words or speak Spanglish.  

key words

In The Anti-Lynching Campaign of Ida B. Wells, 1892-1900 it is shown that Negro domination was very crucial after the slave’s days. Negro domination is when the white people tried to overrule the Africans Americans other known as white supremacy. It is clearly stated in this work of literature “as no white man has been lynched for the murder of colored people” (Royster 76). This quote explains what occurred this is because many of the African Americans got lynched for the murder of a white man. This is a perfect example how anarchy helped the white people believe they had more power. This is by not having consequences for murders depending on the person’s race.

The Third Blog Lynching and thought of Ida B. Wells

     Lynching is when the people believe that justice was not done and decide to take matters into there own hands. In this blog, I am going to prove that after the civil war there was still white supremacy by the use of lynching this will be proven through the text Southern Horrors and Other Writings edited by Jacqueline Jones royster. In this work of literature it is introduced Ida B Wells a writer and creator of Free Speech. She explained that the lynching after the Civil War was uncivilized the excuses where in actuality not valuable enough to take a life.
    One of the excuses that was used after the Civil War by white people in order to lynch African Americans was the raping of white women. Wells went against this idea and stated that if during the slaves day the white men was attracted to the African American women why could it not be reciprocal (Royster 29). She also pointed out that many of the ladys lied and said they got raped in order to save there reputation and dignity and for them not to get in trouble (Royster 57). This is shown in the case of the wife of a minister. It is stated " I had several reasons for telling you. One was the neighbors saw the fellow here...  another was that I feared I might give birth to a negro baby. I hoped to save my reputation by telling you a deliberate lie"(Royster 54). She had explained this to her husband after and he asked her why she had lied this was her response clearly stating that it was a lie to save her reputation. This shows how smart the white women during this time where they knew that there word would overcome a negro word.

        My though of how language relates to human rights is that sometimes we use language to give or deprive someone some rights. Human rights are the rights that every human should have. Language is a way of expression and communication. We can also use language to convey our thought about the way the law is interpreted into the society.  In this book or group project I will most likely contribute an essay or short story mainly aiming at bullying or feminism. I picked this two subject mainly because I can relate to them and put my personal experience as a very interesting example.

Femenist

   During the past years many group of people have gathered and fought for there believes, and rights. a group of mostly women created a group named that is now known as feminism. This group believes that both genders female or male are equal socially, economically, sexually, mentally and in every aspect of a usual day life activity. Meaning what ever a man could do a female can do also. as time passes by females have gain a lot of right that where not given before such as the right to vote. However this is only in the united states, in countries such as china there has been a inequality in population of genders, also in the believe of Muslim the women is dehumanize and seen as a object. This topic is relevant because a woman has rights just like any other human being and it is time that they get what they deserve.
   One of the main international human right law in female right was created on, December
    Since being a women is being a human being the constitution as well as the article of confederation or any document established for the United18 December 1979, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). This set of regulations was created by the United Nations Commission on the statues of women it took an estimate of 30 years to be created. The document aims at mainly at three parts the situation of women legal statues also the human reproduction ,and not seen in other documents treaties(ohchr). However, even do this is a document that is expected to be fallowed and respected, it does not states that it is supposed to. meaning that just like any other human right document it cant change the law or trye to over come it unless it is passed as one.

IM GUCCI!!!

 

      A very smart and intelectual man named named Guccio Gucci was born on march 26 of 1881 in florence and died on january 2 of 1953. He created a famouse and very expensive clothing line and leathers goods named Gucci. However, today the word Gucci is not only being used to describe the clothing line, but also as a feeling. Many of my friends and people that I have met use the word Gucci as saying they feel good. My guess of why this happen is because Gucci is known of being a very good clothing brand so they associate it with something good. If put in a sentence it would be something like "Im Gucci".
