And here we go

This week was our last week of the separate sessions, and I am pretty bummed out. I really take a lot from the separate subjects. I like the structure it gives the day I wish we did them for longer. I am really loving Journalism in particular. I the documentary and article about the falling man were so powerful emotionally and communicatively. I love seeing the difference between a horrifying image from North America and one from Vietnam, Haiti, or any where else far away. I still even since September I cannot understand why north Americans (myself included) think its OK to put ourselves above people from a foreign area like what are we thinking?! I don't think that seeing someone pulled from the rumble of a level seven earthquake is as horrifying as seeing someone fall 106 stories to their death. What is wrong with the culture I have been marinating in?? Why do I think this way? And how can I fix it??
