My Opinion

1. Cristian Virellas : I agree with Cristian's blog, immigrants should get the freedom of immigrating to the U.S. with no problems, they can help the country and could have even a better life.

2. Nelsharry Baergas: She has good point of people with handicap having the same rights as normal people. This would bring equality to the country and to the people.

3. Stepahnie Ruiz: Stephanie women's right is all true women and the 54th law is razonable since any women should be abused never in any circumstance and deserve a good kind of respect.

4. Natassia Sirruano: Catholics should be treated the same as everyone it is obvious that we all are the same. Everyone should be treated the same.

Amendment Proposal

            My proposal for Puerto Rico is about our students right. It is to help all our students with their education and studies. This is for every student with a good average that shows good behavior and education. This students do not need to show any worries at the part of paying for their education.
            I think that student activism fought for a right they have right now, that is their student vote. That give us proud and give us the right to give our mature students that really want the best for their country a very good free education. A free education could be well used by many of these mature students. These would make an easier future for them if they really show they are responsible with their studies, because they would be studying for free what they really want to be in their future. These would be a very nice act from the part paying as so from the students having their studies payed that could take advantage from this nice acts if they really know how to handle them. This proposal would be very nice for our island and would helped many of us.
           In conclusion this would be my proposal for Puerto Rico. Like said, it would helped many students in a good economic way. They fought for their right to vote in activism in an orderly way. They deserve this kind of help if they are willing to mantain a good grade average and behavior.

Protest

             In this blog I'am going to tell you about the protests or some complications students had in the activism. It might sound rare but student activism although all the different things happened it was done for a good. They worked hard every morning joining in differents points and universities of the country to protest for the good of the country and having an anti-war protest. This were very few the people that were against it.
            Student activism was a work done by students that trust in themselves. They effect political, environmental, economic, or social change. It often focused on making changes in schools, such as increasing student influence over curriculum or improving education funding. In some settings or places, students groups have had a major role in broader political events. This brought many things because they protesting for the good of the country. Example the Twenty Sixth Amendment gives 18 to 21 years old a voice in our democracy. Students who leave home to attend college should have the right to choose were they vote.

            No anti protest was really made against student activism during all that time. Student activism was a series of time were I can admired this students tha worked very hard for their best, what they really wanted and their country. This brought inspiration to country knowing that they really deserve the rights they needed and showed the love they had for their country.

Struggle and Activism

               During this events happening of student protesting we had many students joining on this protests. Students joining more and more each day made very places and universities very crowded. This crowds brought many traffic and places closed. People started criticizing and getting crazy because each person needed to get to rtheir respective works and homes.
              Since this students and people really wanted their country and the best for them, they stayed protesting and holding some insults of people passing by.

           Like here we have a group of people and student giving us signs of not wanting the U.S. gettin involved in the war that they don't have nothing to do with.
            This groups of protest were neither peaceful neither violent. They wanted to call attention in a normal way that people could hear and see them. This were economical groups since they weren't making too much crazy things that could cost money and made the country not good economically. They social method was good and everybody was allowed in to protest for the good of their country. Good era with many importance, peace and love to their country.     

Student Activism/Protests

                During this years were years not criticize by the people. These were good years that everybody gather for the good of the country. It was beautiful seeing this days of hope with everybody together with peace and a lot of union. Since 1,500 students gathering different places to plan were they were going to protest some people got mad and didn't like them because it wass difficult to get to their respective homes.
                Every protest was okay for almost all Amrcans because it was an anti-war one. It got a little out of hand when it came to the violence incidents part. It tough wasn't that much that bad like in these days. People in the country were surprised of how students wanted that much the good for their country. These was in many different universities.The only from few surious cases was in Kent State were a few people died in the protest.  Syracuse University was also serious when classes were canceled due to continous demonstartions against this wars andinvasions in 1970. They were different protests, but although they were different protests the important thing was that students were protesting for the good of their country.
                Students tlakin about war and the best for the country it's necessity to the sovereignity of our nation and the consequences it has cost us in the eyes of our fellow nation. Idealogy in student population is very big, we have many students with great ideas that can really help us and could be the best for us and our country. There are some commentaries that people hope that students would like to protest that good like that era for things that really worth it and really make sense, not for any stupid thing that happens. Laws were not really put in that era against this students because for me they reaaly wanted the best for them and theircountry.

Student Activism/Protests

            Starting in the 1950's everyone tought everything needed to go perfect. By the 1960's started the revolution of accepting not everything was and necessary needed to go perfect. There came the different eras like the era of the hippies. They said everyone was free and that they wanted only peace, not necessarily everything needed to go perfect. This student  activism and protest started in the 1960's since many of them tought that Americans shouldn't be that much involved in the Vietnam War.
             Student protest in those moments was a signature element of the political state of confusion and agitation of the Vietnam war. In spring of 1970 we could know that passed some of the biggest and largest students protest in U.S. history. Student Activism played a big part and key role in bringing antiwar ideas to the broader public. The Vietnam War served as served, as the early civil right movement, to sparked or extended play further struggles around race, identity, and gender. Students went from being timid and complacent to rebellious and outspoken.
             This years of 1960's and 1970's were known as years when students united against the war. There were known also as student united against the establishments. This it was not until the draft that these students and universities students united. They didn't only united in their individual campuses, but nationally as well. Students came together under a mutual desire for control, control over the war, their rights, their education, overall control over their lives. This were years of hope and days of rage. Student were gathering for the good of their country and for their own lives good.

Classmates Blogs

Stephanie Ruiz: It was very interesting, I agree how she said that the Whites were alwas spying and looking at how and what Native Americans did. It was also how she said that evrything needed to go the White's way or then nothing would happen.

Arshad Khalil: States how Whites changed Native Americans name to Christian names. Native Americans didn't like it and that's when the conflict came about Native Americans didn't want to change it. Also their haircuts and customs were wanted to be change by WHites.

Cristian Virellas: Cristian's blog states the mistreatment from the Whites to the Native Americans. It also comments of how Native Americans wanted all land and didn't feel satisfied with just a few, they wanted more and more.

Keven Delgado: Keven states the promises and treaty the Whites wanted with Native Americans and weren't able to be tru persons and accomplish this promises.  They were unfair and the Whites were fake with the Native Americans. Sitting Bull at the end was treated as any other Indian, at the end he was one more.

Walter Pacheco: Walter's blog taught me about the White abuse with the Native Americans. They abuse and manipulated the Indians and Native Americans. Since White had better weapond and tools fights were like massacre to Native MAerican people. It was very sad almost Native American race ended at that time.

White Americans Try To Take Native American's Land

                            

              The Whites had put Native Americans on reservation. They had like a card that was to keep track of them the Native Americans. They only had one blanket to sleep and they slept like house per family. Whites wanted to take Native American's land because of the land's resources. Whites even wanted to make Native American's belief change.

                      

               Before was started, the Native Americans lived happy. The Native Americans had their own land. But then the Whites wanted to take control over the Native Americans. Whites wanted to stay with all and change all for their best. Whites tried to change this and fight for this. WHites had better stuff, better advances and more people so this was very difficult.

                When the Whites went to Native American’s land, they said that they had to move. But they didn’t wanted to move. After the Whites went to Native Americans land, they felt very sad. Then after all and after they left, but they still consume many things about Native Americans. Whites wanted to really stay whith all that land because of its diffrent resources that would make them better and accomplish all their plans invented, but they should pass first by the Native Americans. Native Americans loved their land and wouldn't give up that easy.

                 The Whites had promised a lot of things to Native Americans. They never made those promise true. Native Americans had their own leader but in the land that whites gave them, they had a white for them as leader. They were treated as slaves and their land was very little. It wasn't that nice but that's life and although Whites were more than Native Americans, since Whites really wanted that land they fought for it to the end.  

                 In conclusion, the whites like had their own land and they lived happy. The whites were the cause for the moving of the Native Americans. The reservation of Native Americans was very little. They had to do whatever the Whites told them. It was like a rare story because everybody was trying to think in themselves, wanted the best for themselves.

My reaction of Friends blogs

                       My reaction to Keven's blog has an interesting story and it's really realistic. It has many details from the family and his coal mine job. His video it's very interesting, realistic and detailed. 

                       In Arshad's blog I learned many things about Irish people immigrating. I learned how bad and difficult was for Irish to immigrate. It's interesting how people when 911 happened were afraid because of the terrorism.

                      I agree with Alysha's blog, it's right that Rita was only trying to help her sister. It was unfair because of trying to helping her they found out she was an immigrant and deport her.

                      Paulette's family heritage was interesting. Her family coming from diffrent parts of Europe gave to call attention to her blog. What surprises me the most is that some of her family still lives in Cataluna Island. 

My Ancestry!

              My dad Arnaldo Zapata was born in New York and then moved to Puerto Rico by time. My mom Madelyn Valentin was also borned in New York and then moved to Puerto Rico. My last name Zapata comes from Spain. It was from a group of people who worked with shoes. My family from dad came from Spain and from mom came from Puerto Rico in Patillas, Puerto Rico.
               My mom was little living in Brooklyn, New York when one day Ramon Valentin and Cecilia De Jesus decided to move to Puerto Rico. My dad was also a few years old when Ivan Zapata and Concepcion Rosario decided to leave the Bronx and move in to Puerto Rico. A great coincidence when they both were from New York and end marrying together.
               That's when they got to Puerto Rico and both made me Raymond I. Zapata Valentin. Ancestry is a very fun because sometimes you realize you are familiar to sombody you didn't even know somehow. Sometimes surprising like once I had a best friend and by time I realize we were family. My dad moved to Guanica, Puerto Rico and my mom to Patillas, Puerto Rico. That's me Raymond Zapata Valentin with both last names coming from the same respective places, Spain.


      

Immigrant Video

Analizing this video we could see how Japanese left their country in search for better jobs opportunities and a better life. I think they did good because if they were really needing that type of life, they really needed to immigrate. People immigrating shouldn't be treated that bad, unless you really know it's a bad person. Many people got to U.S. in search of work and better life and that makes me happy because they fight to take their family ahead with jobs and many reach their goals. 

Immigration Story

           It was 1886 when I Juro Kaori decided to immigrate to the U.S. for a better type of life.
It all started when I had my family in Japan and after a time we really realized we weren't living that well. Suddenly we stayed without our jobs and money and economy was a real problem for us. As time passed I decided to try to immigrate with my family to the U.S., but when we saw we really didn't have the enough money  to get all of us there. So me so sadly took a decision for me and immigrated for the good of my family. I was very sad because they couldn't join me on my trip to the immigration to the U.S.
           It was the day and I with a group of other Japanese immigrating people went aboard sailing to Hawaii. There were some hours to get there and through the trip many of us were really immigrating with the same purpose which was looking for jobs and a better life. We all wanted to get our family with us to the U.S. but most couldn't because of our economic problems. The boat was full of necessary things in our bags and we were all  ready to take and look for a job which could pay us something. As we were approaching we were all very anxious.
            When we got to Hawaii and got off the boat people from there that notice that we were immigrants started looking bad at us. They started talking bad about us, but that didn't stop me from getting a job for me and a better life for my family. After three weeks getting up very early I found a job on a sugarcane plantation some hours from my apartment. The job was sacrificing and it was really not worth it for the amount of little money I was getting paid. If I wanted to bring my family to the U.S. and have a better life I needed to keep working with what I had. Little by little I slowly went gaining some money and got very excited. That other morning was when everything came down when they fired many of us immigrant from the sugarcane plantation.
             I was in total shock, when all I could think of was my wife and two sons in Japan. I never surrender and a few weeks later I got another job in a farm. Here I was winning a little more money and by time I had the necessary money to bring my family. I brought them and we were all really excited. My wife the started working in a beauty salon where she won good money and that gave us for our children's education.We are know very happy and still working to keep having a better life than before.

Immigrating with Japanese

            Japanese people started immigrating  to the U.S. in the 1880's. These immigrations were started just for looking jobs and employments, for example like in sugar plantations. Japanese also immigrated to the U.S. looking for a dream for better opportunities and to search for peace and prosperity. They left unstable homeland for the life of the demanding job and a chance to provide a better future for their children. 

            Journey for Japanese people was most likely to be by sailing. An example of this was on May 17, 1868, the Scioto set sail out of Yokohama for Hawaii, carrying 153 Japanese migrants. Between 1886 and 1911, more than 400,000 men and women left Japan for the U.S. Over 28,000 Japanese migrated to Hawaii.

            When Japanese immigrants arrived to their immigrated places in the U.S. their was a lot of criticism. As Japanese arrived, discrimination started to the new immigrants. As Japanese were willing to work hard for low wages, many American people were afraid Japanese would take away jobs from American people. The white people understood how a diversity of ethnicities could cause major competition and change their present success rate. As they migrated to the U.S. they experienced many difficult things like discrimination, low wages, war and so on. They migrated for new development and for the following generation. 

              I know that many people do not like for others to immigrate to their countries. Those people also need to think about the living situations those people are facing. Many of these people trying to immigrate need jobs to survive and mantain their family. I think they should allow people to immigrate wherever they want but only depending on their records and things they have done through time (criminal records). Me immigrating to the U.S. in this time would be very difficult because since most people are against it they would start talking bad about me and my family. If there's one thing I really need and is immigrating for the convenience of me and my family I'll do it.
