This document analyzes a picture that symbolizes the fight for black civil rights in America. The picture shows a black man hanging from Lady Liberty by the neck with a rope. This represents how the man's freedoms were taken from him or "killed." The picture references Patrick Henry's famous words "Give me liberty, or give me death" and represents the black community's demand for the same liberties as whites and their willingness to die for that goal. While the picture was likely made during the initial 20th century civil rights movement, it could also symbolize how some feel black people have lost liberties or equal treatment more recently.

Salem mccarthyism
The document provides background information on two historical events that influenced Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible": the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 and the period of McCarthyism in the 1950s. During the Salem Witch Trials, accusations of witchcraft led to hysteria and the deaths of 25 people. Similarly, during McCarthyism people accused their neighbors of communist sympathies out of fear, which ruined lives and careers through blacklisting. Miller drew parallels between these events to create his play addressing the themes of mass hysteria, scapegoating, and the dangers of unchecked governmental power.

The document analyzes the themes of food, physical environment, and hair/fashion in the films Pressure and Burning an Illusion. In both films, food is used as a signifier of cultural identity and disjuncture. Scenes in Pressure show the protagonist Tony eating stereotypically English foods like bacon and eggs, while his brother eats "black food" like avocado. Later scenes show Tony struggling to fit in with friends who steal food out of necessity. The films also use setting and styles of dress to reflect the characters' experiences with racism in 1970s Britain and their developing black identities.
Black women stereotypes
Stereotypes of black women that originated during slavery still persist today and perpetuate harmful narratives. The "Mammy" depicts black women as obedient servants, the "Sapphire" portrays them as angry and emasculating, and the "Jezebel" presents them as hypersexual. These stereotypes justified the oppression of black women and ignore diversity within the community. They shift blame for inequality away from flawed institutions and onto individuals. While some media aims to celebrate diversity, it also perpetuates stereotypes for profit. Overcoming deeply entrenched stereotypes requires recognizing how they damage black women and reinforce systems of racism and sexism.
Five common black stereotypes in tv and film

These stereotypes are problematic as they reduce complex portrayals of African Americans and ignore the realities of racism.

A student named Liang Wu received a grade of 40 on a test for their FYS 100 class with Professor. Liang believes they got this low grade because they just guessed on the test questions rather than knowing the answers. Liang feels this grade means they cannot become a US citizen and sees that most Americans would score higher, around a 68, on the same test.

America has long grappled with immigration issues as an immigrant country. Currently, illegal immigrants from places like China, Mexico, and Hispanic communities are increasing and causing social problems. To address the issues, the document argues the US government should liberalize immigration policies because immigrants are beneficial to the American economy, and the cultural diversity of immigrants from varied backgrounds has historically strengthened and advanced the country.
Dream
1) The document discusses a reaction to a podcast about the Dream Act and issues facing young Mexican Americans who were brought to the US illegally as children.
2) It notes that under current immigration laws, these young people's futures are limited because they derive immigration status from their parents, and if their parents are undocumented then the children cannot gain legal residency.
3) The Dream Act bill is seen as a way to help address this issue and provide a path to legal status and citizenship for young people who spend most of their lives in the US but do not have legal status.
Dream act
This document summarizes a reaction to a podcast about the Dream Act and issues facing the Mexican American community. It notes that Mexican Americans now make up about 10.9% of the US population and have established businesses and communities. The podcast discussed how current immigration laws circumscribe the future of young people who grew up in America from Mexican families where the parents' immigration status is undocumented, preventing the young people from obtaining legal residency status. The Dream Act bill was presented as a way to help solve this issue affecting many young people who feel disconnected from America despite living most of their lives in the US.
Cliques liang
This document lists 5 high school cliques: music, drawing, student union, sports, and painting. It appears to be an assignment for a class called FYS 100 submitted on 06/11/14 by Liang, Wu about the top 5 high school cliques.
Source evaluation
This document provides information about a source on climate change. It details the author's credentials, including a BSc in Geography and MS/PhD from Texas A&M University. It discusses the publisher, CAB International, as a not-for-profit organization owned by 48 member countries that publishes in areas including agriculture, environment, and food. While the author and sources cited have expertise in the topic, they all share the perspective that climate change is human-caused, so the source has some bias. Overall, it is an okay source to use but should be balanced with opposing views.
Climate change
The document discusses how climate change is impacting the world. It notes that scientific studies show that global temperatures have risen rapidly in recent years due to increases in greenhouse gas emissions and depletion of the ozone layer from human activity since the Industrial Revolution. This global warming is causing more extreme weather events and natural disasters. While climate change affects societies and economies, the main driver is human emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases that are enhancing the greenhouse effect and warming the planet. There is an urgent need for countries to cooperate and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the risks of climate change.

Racial discrimination and conflicts have long been issues in the United States due to its status as a melting pot of different cultures and races. The document discusses an experiment where white students were divided by eye color and faced discrimination to experience what people of color face, showing how misunderstandings can easily arise between different groups. The experiment had an important influence on the students, with all feeling struggle when treated unfairly and gaining an understanding of the lack of choice people of color face in the same situations.

Racial discrimination and conflicts have long been issues in the United States due to its status as a melting pot and immigration country with people from many different cultures and skin colors living together. An experiment highlighted this by dividing white students into groups based on eye color and having one mistreated to simulate the experience of racial minorities, opening their eyes to discrimination. The professor hoped this would help the students understand the struggles of racial discrimination and find solutions rather than ignore the problem.
Survival activity
The document is a worksheet selecting four individuals who would survive an epidemic and establishing why. It identifies a doctor to keep the group healthy, a scientist to handle environmental issues, a psychology professor to take a leadership role and counsel others, and a lawyer to set laws and rebuild civilization. Others are excluded: a priest for potential conflict, drug-addicted hippies as a nuisance, a pregnant woman as weak, a mentally unstable soldier as a risk, an elderly woman due to health issues, a disabled person for inability, and a lazy person.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Mexiacan
- 1. Name: Liang, Wu Professor: Blanco, Harold Class: FYS 100 6/25/14 Reaction to a Day without a Mexican A day without Mexican was a film direct by Sergio Arau. This film gave a critical thinking at the consequence of all the Mexicans in the state of California suddenly disappearing. Nowadays, Mexican American has become a big population of America society, and a lot of Americans realized the situation with Mexicans. Native Americans found more and more Mexicans appeared in their daily life. As a result, conflicts often happened in these two different groups. Some Native Americans think that Mexicans invade their living space and country, and they think do not welcome Mexicans, but the Mexicans had already become an important part of the American society. The film A Day without a Mexican shows what would happen if one day a third of population of United States just was not there anymore. This film would be the ultimate irony of illegal labor, occupational stereotypes and illegal immigrant. In addition, I found an interesting phenomenon in this film, even between Hispanics, the lighter Hispanics would found better job than darker skinned. All in all, this movie gave a different point of view for the racial issue.
