Week #2
What separates us from the animals, what separates us from the chaos, is our ability to mourn people we’ve never met."
-David Levithan, this is a quote from a person who saw and experienced 9/11. This really touches my heart because he explains that we feel sorry and we feel this empathy to people we don't even know. If i really think about this quote it is very true because mostly everyone feels sorry for the kids and all the families and all the sons. That is a day everyone is gonna remember and hopefully say we are better than this.

WHAT IS RAPE CULTURE?
In a rape culture, people are surrounded with images, language, laws, and other everyday phenomena that validate and perpetuate, rape. Rape culture includes jokes, TV, music, advertising, legal jargon, laws, words and imagery, that make violence against women and sexual coercion seem so normal that people believe that rape is inevitable. Rather than viewing the culture of rape as a problem to change, people in a rape culture think about the persistence of rape as “just the way things are.”, ......Rape is a serious problem in this world men taking advantage of woman because they are desperate enough to kindnapp or take advantage of a woman's body this applies to me because one of my friends in middle school was raped by her uncle that is now in prison.

“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.”
Ayn Rand,
I figured out early on that no one can stop anyone from succeeding unless they use it for evil terms and also I think that people should always look at the bright side of things because if they don't they might not succeed at many things in life if they are held back by negativity.
