I've been looking into the group projects quite a bit. For the Media hegemonies I was flipping through 'We the Media' and saw that they have the entire media hegemony right there. Wondering if I should be lazy and use that. I'll see what the higher powers say. My activism project is yet again going to involve the Kurds. It is going to be much more general though. I'll be looking at human rights issues surrounding the Kurds throughout the Middle East, but the overall project will focus on broad human rights issues in the world. I've been reading through Amnesty Internationals website, looking at the more recent abuses in Burma through the ruling Junta.
I feel that human rights is the most important issue facing us right now. Although human rights issues have been around pretty much since humans have been on the planet, we still need to know what is happening to some. Torture is the most disgusting thing a human would ever have to face, so someone who has been exposed to torture should let others know what it is like. People need to learn ethical standards and be able to recognize and understand what human beings are capable of.
