The "N" Word

1. Where does the "N"word come from ? Why does it offend some people so much ?
The "N" word comes from when African American were slaves to white people a long time ago. I think some people take offense to the "N" word because it is such a strong word referring to the past where black people were treated as slaves. Also the "N" word is giving a label , a name to a certain race which probably people do not like.

2. Should Non-Black people be able to use the "N" word ?
Personally I believe Caucasian people should not use it because they have such a past with African Americans. But i believe if you grew up knowing the "n" word and people surrounded around you use it and you are only saying the "N" word to people you know it isn't as bad or weird.

3. Should musicians stop using the "N" word ?
I think musicians should stop using it so often like they do but if it has a reason between the word then i think it is fine. But then i think it isnt bad because us telling them to not use the "N" word is us limiting their use of colorful language. Also people enjoy the music even if it has the word so i don't believe it isn't that bad as long as they're not using the word in an offensive sense.

4. Do other ethnic groups (for example, Chinese, Jews, and Dominicans) use ethnic slurs like the N-Word to describe themselves?  If not, Why ?
 I think they don't use it because the take it much or offensive than African Americans and people nowadays are used to saying the "N" word , not anything else because many people grew up hearing the n word a lot, not any other ethnic slurs..

5. What would happen if black people (and everyone else) started using “king” or “queen” instead of the N Word?
I think if people started using the word King and Queen people might like it more than the "N" word because it might bring people spirit up being called king or queen. BUT i think after a while no one would really care and be use to the word so no one would really care about the meaning of King or Queen so it'll be just like the "N" word no one would take offense to it or feel better so their is no use of making those words ( King and Queen) upon us because it wont really make the world a better place because it will become a slang word. You wouldn't obviously hear Obama saying wassup my King -_- , thats lame lml .
WELL YEAH THATS MY OPINION ON THE N WORD ;-*

Airport Security

REASONS WHY I AM NOT AGAINST IT -

      The reasons i would not be against it is because as the guys said in the video id rather be going through a scanner than being blown up in thee air . Also , a simple pat down wont be enough and just glancing through your bag wont be enough in my opinion. They can hidee aanything in their bag very easily , so it would probably be best just to go through a simple scanner. Its not like it saved or anything, and the airports are only doing this for your safety so nothing can happen in the airplane when we are above the clouds in the air !


REASONS WHY I AM AGAINST IT -



    The reason i would be against it because it is kind of an invasion of privacy because they are pretty much looking at you private. at your private parts and EVERYTHING and people might feel uncomfortable about that . People can feel uncomfortable with theeir bodiees so they wouldn't want no one looking at their body. Maybe people in the airports or whoever created the airport scanners should find a way to make another invention to check for any weapons or anything, an invention where people will feel comfortable going through the procedure of being checked.


THIS IS MY REASONSSS <3 !

My Rainbow Building .

Rebuilding Ground Zero [:

1. What are some of the things you learned about the materials ( example : glass  concrete, steel )used for re-building ground zero.
A: I learned that it is harder than most people thought to get all these thing created for the buildings. Like the concrete, the construction workers had to get the right amount of water in it and different stuff. f the measurement was a little bit off they have to start over. Also with the glass they take lots of tie making it and sometimes it breaks because they did something wrong after creating the glass for a very long time.

2. What were some of the challenges that the builders faced when creating the new World Trade Center building and memorial fountains ?
A: The challenges were that until they got it right they had to go through many wrongs and mistakes. For example the glass kept breaking but it showed them what they had to do to make the building perfect with the correct materials.

3. What does the design of the World Trade Center symbolize ? What does the design of the memorial fountains symbolize ?
A: The world trade center buildings are to represent the twin towers obviously. And also to have people come together as one and recognize the beauty of the buildings.

4. How will this video affect your memorial design ?
A: This video will help me a lot because it makes me think outside the box when it comes to the memorial buildings and to keep trying until you feel like you like your design.
