Indigenous Resistance and Rascist Schooling

In the article Indigenous resistance and racist schooling on the borders of empires: Coast Salish cultural survival Michael Marker discusses the integration of Native Indians known as Coast Salish into American and Canadian culture. The Coast Salish Indians lived along the borders of what we know as America and Canada, mostly in the Washington area. After British and Americans began taking their land, the two took a different approach to how they would educate them. The Canadians mixed them in with their citizens making them lose some of their heritage, while the Americans put them in schools alone. Both decisions I believe were based off of racism but in the end I feel like the American Indians have more to be proud about. My personal opinion would have been to leave them as they were before English settlers arrived and let them govern and educate themselves.

Essay 3

People need to consider the problems with producing sustainable foods and realize what they are buying and consuming. Also this will help better the environment if people were not blind to the facts. For example, what The Meatrix dispalyed throughout various clips showed how meats were processed at industrial farms. The way those animals are treated are immoral and the consumption of these animals is not the healthiest thing for people. As far as essay 3 goes, a place has not been chosen to write about. I will hopefully find a place that needs to be revealed to the average buyer and consumer of the products mentioned above. There must be a stand taken against the immoral acts of big businesses and their greed. All sorts have problems have resulted from this and hopefully throughout essay 3 I will be able to effectively explain the problem and educate someone who doesn't know about these things.

This is an ethical dilemma because natural gases are need at the moment but it's not worth ruining the water of people.
