In this picture there is a colored man walking out onto the metro, after buying his ticket. He’s wearing a black old fashioned hat matching nicely with his dark overcoat and a white collared shirt followed along by light khaki pants; and wrapped around his neck is a black filled tie with red flowers. He is carrying another suit on the back of his shoulder, as if it weighed only a few pounds in the light of the metro. Having a weird expression on his face as if he were puckering his lips and looking towards the sky as though he has seen something completely amazing, he holds on gently to his ticket as he walks out of the booth.

About Mulan..
Some of the values I had seen in the movie Mulan were their lifestyle; they went by morals to honor their families. Mulan is rejected by the matchmaker, so she’s really sad, and tries to bring honor to her family by saving China! Also, the way they dress has to do a lot with their values, you couldn’t just walk up around china wearing a t-shirt and jeans if you were a girl. (so mean!)I think that the person who created Mulan had done a lot or research on the country, or had been a formal habitant of China. Since the person who made Mulan must have wanted to make the main value be family, I’m sure it’s someone who also values family, or else I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t have wanted you to see in this perspective, family is important. This movie has a mixture of both truth and fiction. There are no talking dragons, there are a lot of superstitions, which could, but may not be true. “Bringing honor” to the family was common in china. Confucius in writing Jen, wanted to lead people to having manners and being kind. Mulan gave up what she had to fight for china and her father, who is now older, and a bit incapacitated.

If you were the supreme ruler of the world, what would I do to change the relationship between the US Mexico border?
If I was the supreme ruler of the world, what would I do to change the relationship between US&Mexico's border region..? Thats a tough one. There's many ways I could change the border. For instance, I could create a party which would search for any undocumented immigrants throughout the United States, who would become directly deported !!! And while theyre being deported I would play my harmonica while they march away!! Another way I could change things is by lowering the pay of visas, but strengthening our border! I would make the border bigger &taller than the wall of china!! I would hire more border patrol agents to patrol the area, and if the immigrants want to come underground I would have a metal fence that reaches 15 ft. underground the wall so that people don't go diggin under it. Or another way I could help is by changing the mexican government, they should create new jobs for the unemployed, and supply them with housing, food, &education so that they don't have to worry about coming over to the United States. I shall free them from poverty, because I can. :D

How can HTH help the border region?
Do you honestly think kids could make a difference?
My question is why not?
Kids have so much potential, we will someday become grown-ups, we will discover so much ! And through that process wouldn't it be neat if you could help someone along the way? Yeah. HTHCV has students who are willing to make a difference for the better of the world. We want to help the border region over in Tijuana; firstly, our main plan (which is in progress) is making a toy drive for the poor children in Mexico. We could all try to help by teaching these kids things that will be useful throughout their lives, like the habits of the heart and mind. This is how I belive we can help the border region.

What are stereotypes &where do they come from?
Stereotypes are something or a person relating to those styles they are most commonly associated with. For example, the group that such person or thing belongs to, regardless of whether that perception is true. Stereotyping can be said to be a way of discrimination, when in reality it is a natural "structure" used by people to better understand the world. This is why when someone says "hockey player" you think of a white guy, or "rapper" and you think of a black guy, or "city" and you think of things like skyscrapers.
I belive stereotypes come from television, and other people who spread this stereotyping game over to everyone like an infectuous disease. It doesn't always necissarily mean it is a bad thing, but other people can become offended by any un-mindful comment.

Why does the world have borders ?¿
I wonder why the world has borders.
Can you imagine a world without them ?
It`s hard to picture this. You might be thinking that everythign would be better for the world; or you might think that it´s the way in which we can destroy our precious planet. I mean if you think about it, there are borders just about everywhere. Just how our dogs mark their territory, we do also. I think we make borders so that there won`t be intrusion in our personal space. It`s like not having doors in our houses or in your bathrooms and rooms. It`s uncomfortable and insecure. Everyone wants borders. I mean if you look at it this way, the romans, the egyptians, the chinese, the greeks, the indians they all had some type of borders! Yeah, since wayy back then; so maybe it`s something that comes in a sort of natruality. What we use them for is for separating territories. We then we think of: the people. We choose to name other people “illegals” even though we´re all humans. If we didn`t have borders, you would have everyhting vandilized, everything would look really different, and in bad ways.

Harms !
One of the main ways Mexico is harming the United States is by the exportation of illegal drugs throughout the Mexican-American border, which has been continued for the past years between both countries. Mexico has been distinguished being the primary distributer of these subtances to the USA; but we must be well aware that the USA is also the primary consumer of these very same drugs.
So I think that if Mexico affects the USA the USA affects Mexico with this purchase, and also they as a country affect themselves one another now that Mexico needs a worker to found &raise their crops which involves many people who dedicated themselves to legally plant and work let themselves become bribed knowing their future will only be poverty. This leads to the corruption of those peasants and expanding the corruption to those in their country, damaging our future, which are our children.
This is how I believe how they harm each other due to the fact that they are frontiers. And there is the facility of the contrabander of drugs and of course taking advantage of a rich country like ours with the corruption that exists in Mexico and Mexcio at its time taking advantage of the riches and the interests that are part of the United States.
