Bloggy Boi


                About the video we just watched, I think it’s important for people to learn to think like that. Like you said in class after Timmy said he couldn’t put himself into others shoes, some people can empathize naturally but for others it has to be learned. And I’d never thought about sociological mindfulness in terms of Iraq. He made a good point about how it’s easy to generalize things about America from things like the Christian boot camp and the man who wanted to burn Qurans, and how we could just as easily be generalizing Muslims in the same way, actually I know I’ve generalized Muslims in the same way.
                An example of a time I felt sociologically mindful would be when a few years ago the girls were playing volleyball and they were losing 4-20. So I put it on my story because it was 420 and didn’t really think about anyone being mad about it. Later on the blonde in our class texted me to take it down and yelled at me, and at the time I thought she was just a nag. Eventually I learned that I hadn’t put myself in her shoes and I probably shouldn’t have put it up in the first place.
                Somebody I would like to add to the 10 acts of courage that changed to world list would be Mr. Beast. Last year he planted 20 million trees by starting an organization and everyone who donated a dollar got a tree planted.
                I see myself fitting into the big picture of society by eventually going to college, and once I get a job working my way up the chain of engineering until I either have an idea to event something or I can start my own company. Then I’ll work non-stop until I have become the next Elon Musk. My main goal is to leave a lasting change on the world.
