Which factor plays a greater role in shaping your future career choice: your genuine interest and passion for the field, or the financial benefits and stability it can provide? In your response, explain which one you prioritize and why, and consider how this decision might impact your long-term happiness, motivation, and overall quality of life.

 Today we presented our presentation and listened to our peers. Today I learned over time you get healed as long as you work successful within yourself . Passion for the field and and the financial benefits. You have to like or love for the field you work in so you can do your work with passion and not with anger or annoyed. I also said financial benefits because later on in your like it can benefit you a lot by healing 

Clothing is often tied to identity and culture. Describe an outfit or style you like that may not fit what others expect from you. How have people responded, and what does this reveal about stereotypes in society?

 Today we worked on a worksheet and on our projects . Today I learned that being able to accept your mistakes in life can help you move on. I like to dress tomboy or like wearing baggy clothes. A lot of people ask why or others say I look like a stud whenever i do. This reveals a lot cuz based off my clothes people make assumptions of a person without actually knowing them . 

Think about a film that represents your culture (or a culture you identify with) in a positive and meaningful way. Explain how the film represents the culture and why this portrayal matters. Be sure to include specific examples from the film.

 Today we worked on assigning our roles and choosing our film . We also decided to work our presentation. Today I learned that is better to dress up and look good on the outside instead of showing the inner side dying. A good film would be instructions not included. That’s actually a good film because it represents how hard he tries to raise a baby . He goes days walking seeking for help to learn. In our culture we also try hard even if we don’t know the language . Or weather it’s life or death we would still try and keep going for the sake of the child or family at home, same thing with the film. 

The short film Born With It shows how stereotypes can shape the way people see others and even how individuals see themselves. Reflect on the main character’s experience and explain how stereotypes impacted his identity and sense of belonging. Then, connect this to a broader idea: how can stereotypes influence the way a culture or group is understood by others? Use specific examples from the film to support your response.

 Today we watched a video and answered questions but also worked on project. Today I learned that you have to live life you have to enjoy the present and keep your living moving with no grudge because it’s not good for your well being. The way they stereotype it is his people think they are or behave . People can actually misunderstand them judge them or treat them differently due to that. There’s different outcomes and could end up hurting or affecting someone. The way they stereotype a culture is how we think they culture is but could be different in reality. 

Cities can also be an important part of a person’s cultural identity, shaping their values, experiences, and way of life. Think of a movie or TV show that changed the way you see a specific city. How was that city and its culture portrayed, and did it present a full picture or a “single story”? Explain how this portrayal could influence how people view those who live there.

 Today we went over the project we have to work on as a group about a film . Today I learned that you can’t trust a persons word only because they are stating it you have to have actions with those outcomes . Rosario tijaras is one of my tv shows I watch . It changes a persons culture because she does everything to protect her daughter. She was in Mexico having to suffer even though people turned their backs on her she still made contacts to be able to see her daughter here and there. She was taught to fight back and protect her family who goes against her. The experiences she went through can mentally be damage . Having to run from cops to do your dirty work . 

Why do you think filmmakers continue to use stereotypes, even when they can be harmful or inaccurate? Explain one reason discussed in class and give your opinion on whether this justifies their use.

 Today we continued to finish the assignment on writable if we didn’t finish . Today I learned being along can help you endure a lot and be able to see the reality . Maybe  because it catches the audience attention . In films us as audience we don’t see it as inaccurate or harmful we watch the film if it’s interesting. 

Think about the most stereotypical film you have ever seen. This could be a movie that represents a specific culture, race, gender, or group in an oversimplified or unrealistic way. In your response, explain what film you are referring to, what stereotypes were present in the film, and how those stereotypes shaped your understanding of that group at the time

 Today we worked on writable and we finish watching the short films and reading the stricken to answer the questions. Today I learned is better to let go of your past to move on in life . I don’t remember the film name I think it was blood in and out . It was about cholos and how little kids would work . At tha moment with everything going on back then in Mexico it made me think it was about the Hispanic always dealing with drugs and having to be in the move . It made me change how I thought how kids don’t study just help their family by working. 

Hair can be a powerful way people express who they are and where they come from. Think about your own hair, your style, texture, or how you choose to wear it. How does your hair connect to your culture or your identity? Describe a moment when your hair made you feel proud, uncomfortable, or misunderstood, and explain why.

 Today we worked on watching a show and answering some questions. Today I learned we need to take breaks and be alone to find ourselves. A times my hair made me feel proud was back then when it was healthy and I had it really long touching my butt. I loved how beautiful it was . It connects to your culture because not everyone has the same texture or color or the way of taking care of your hair. Each culture embraces different hairstyles and textures. My family has straight hair my hair is straight but since I cut it my hair has gotten wavy . 

If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do?

 Today we worked on an assignment on common lit. Today I learned how not everything has to based on one thing you got to have multiple opportunities. I would love to go to Mexico and feel the comfort of home alone. Then I would love to go to the beach or Singapore with my whole family to make carne asada and not work doubles. 

Throughout your classmates' presentations, you were exposed to a variety of cultural foods and traditions. How did these presentations shape your understanding of different cultures? Share your opinion on what stood out most.

 Today we worked on presenting our presentations and learn from different cultures. Today I learned how food brings unity and family together. Everyone has their own way of their food or dishes. Even from the same culture but used differently there’s no exact way just admire and observe these things. 

Today, we explored how food connects to identity, culture, and belonging across the TED Talk, Fish Cheeks, and the Mississippi Delta film. How does food help individuals understand who they are, especially when they feel caught between cultures or judged by others? In your response, be sure to include at least one example from at least (TED Talk, Fish Cheeks, or the Mississippi Delta film) to support your thinking.

 Today we watched a movie and saw how food brought their culture out. Today I learned how food is not only enjoying but also what brings together. It helps them understand because they learn from their culture and ancestors. It’s part of who they are and keep the tradition going. You don’t judge a food or dish no matter the culture instead embrace and learn from other cultures
