POW -BANG and it was over, haha. POP! it was fun, although it was stressful to bang it out in 2-3 days! It was no ones fault, but our own...we had all thanksgiving break and didn't do anything. But, like every big project we've done in this class, it never fails to be empowering and ...just a really good experience. If you are the type of student who puts your all in your classes then this class can't fail to teach something new about culture, whether it may be your own, or a culture that you didn't know shit about. And the reason why this class was such a good experience was because we created a safe place amongst ourselves, in this classroom, and in front of these particular people -to open up about our thoughts and feelings, we opened the floor to opinion, argument, agreement, constructive criticism, but never embarrassment or put downs. We were comfortable to perform, to speak, and at the same time stand for what we beleived was right or wrong. Creating this safe environment we've made ourselves realize that "People Power" STILL exists. This kind of power is easily forgotten in the everyday and definitely taken for granted. People forget - if you get enough people to stand with you and feel as strongly as you do about something, that you hold the power for change.
