RIHLA #28

1. Because of this school year, the ideas of my own culture have been strengthen. I never really understood why my family acts differently from others and makes me do these things I never see Americans do. I now understand that it is because of our own culture. I learned to respect my peers and elderly after this year.

2. As a result of this school year, my beliefs or ideas on government has been changed. I have learned how different types of government can really affect people. I always wondered how different types of government were created, who thought of it, and why the president/monarch chose to use this type of government.

3. Thinking ahead, I am not really sure what human right I would like to support in my future yet. Hopefully I will know after my senior year. The human right I would like to support is Article 16, which is the right to marry and have a family. I have recently done my English research paper on gay rights. I noticed how gay couples are given less rights than traditional couples. It makes me wonder why gay couples get less rights, or what makes them different from traditional couples? So, I hope I will be able to make a change and help gay couples.
