I enjoyed both the Friday and Saturday classes. I really think our class has good chemistry and we are able to have really thoughtfull and insightful conversations. I have been thinking about how there is a difference between saying gay or the N word. I think I would have done the same thing as Jaclyn. Even using the correct context I would of only said gay and not the N word. I think this is based on how I was raised. I have been raised that I should never say the N word no matter what. No matter what the context, I don't feel comfortable using that word. Yet another event I have been reflecting on is teens and the rap culture. I am a big believer in freedom of speech and expression. I don't think we can tell music artists what and what not they can sing about. But, we need to find a way for our youth to realize that living the rap lifestyle imitates fantasy more then reality. I am not sure how we can do this and perhaps there is nothing to be done. If it is a phase, then perhaps it is a valuable developmental experience. But then again, probably not.
