The violence shown in the movie Do the Right Thing just reminded me a news I read several days before which talked about living condition of African refugees in Italy. The refugees were hoping to enter France or further England instead of downsloping Italy, so they concentrated on the border between France and Italy. However, polices of both…[Read more]

This week’s reading provides me a different view looking at refugee. According to most of social media’s reports, refugees are usually young men wandering on roads, waiting for local government’s aids. This week’s reading, on the contrary, shows me the experience of refugees, their pains, and their hopes. This is refreshing for understanding the…[Read more]

Although due to a…[Read more]

In China, people do every thing they can to move to a community with residents of higher education and better schools, because they want their…[Read more]

The reading confused me a lot. I am taking DOC 1 in this quarter as well, and I read that black leaders were intend to build blacks’ own community.
