"Paradox and dream" reflection

Paradox: "We proudly insist that we base our political positions on the issues - and we will vote against a man because of his religion, his name, or shape of his nose."

          This quote means how we as humans are quick to judge because of a person appearance or attitude. This is bad because some old man can look calm and kind when really he loves heavy metal. I think that we as humans are quick to judge and thats terrible and in our society it still happens to this day. I think that sometimes we are right and sometimes we may be wrong because if you see a woman wearing a nice pink shirt and some jeans you would think it was a kind girl and she may be but she also might not be for apperances can be decieving.

          I can relate to this because I use to be very judgmental and say he he's weird I don't want to be his friend if he likes cars when really me and him can have similar interest. One of my friends use to be an outcast and I started to play games with him and me and him would have so much fun that one day we became best friends and I still to this day am friends with this outcast and I am proud to say that he is my friend. Sometimes I judge people but the way someone dresses or just there body language and I can tell sort of who they are when really I am wrong because I don't know there past or future.

Paradox: "We are able to believe that our government is weak, stupid, overbearing, dishonest, inefficient, and at the same time we are deeply convinced that it is the best government in the world, and we would like to impose it upon everyone else

          This quote is talking about how we always say our government sucks when really we have the best government. If we were to look at other nations and there government we can clearly see their faults. Our government is very good because if we look at others we can see how the people have their lives when we have better lives. I think this because I've read multiple articles about things going on with ISIS and how the citizens are treated.

          This quote relates to me because my mom is always saying how our government sucks and I always have to tell her how it is better however we have our faults and as humans we make mistakes. I think that our society is worse than our government because now we have seven year olds with I phones and thats our society but we can try to change that. I think that the government has some problems because sometimes they do bad things like watch us with drones etc.
