Part Time Indian Journal 3 Ideas

Injustice?

“Well, this article said that over two hundred Mexican girls have dissapeared in the last three years in that same part of the country. And nobody says much about that. Ands that’s racist. The guy who wrote the article says we care more about beautiful white girls than they do about everybody else on the planet. White girls are privileged. They’re damsels in distress.”

Consider doing further research and saying something about missing/murdered Native American Women:

Here’s a good one from a non-biased, fact reporting news source, The Associated Press

Here’s another in Teen Vogue. And another… And another….


Work Ethic

“The quality of a man’s life is in direct proportion to his commitment to excellence, regardless of his chosen field of endeavor.”

Consider what Mike Rowe has to say about this with his SWEAT pledge. Would you sign this? Why or why not? Can you tell a story that reveals your commitment to SWEAT?

Individuality

“Well, life is a constant struggle against being an individual and being a member of the community.”
What does Henry David Thoreau have to say about individuality? Do you agree or disagree? Is it possible to be both an individual and a member of the community? How?
