Reading reflection #9

When reading chapter 9, much of it was about how people no longer want to see a distinction between sex, gender, race, and social class. And although this is a novel idea, i think it is totally impractical and completely pointless. If everyone is viewed as exactly the same, we would no longer be ourselves. It is the differences between us that makes us who we are and guides our everyday decisions. I agree with the idea that someone should not be discriminated or held ot a higher standard just beause of their sex, race, or social class; but at the same time it is important to notice these differences. With out differences nothing in the world would change, no advances would be made, and everyone would simply become a drone.

I completely agree that differences do exist within the human race. As long as people do not discriminate agianst others based on these differences, I think it is important to not only acknowledge these differences but embrace them.

I agree that its a good idea that we no longer see distinctions between race, sex, gender, etc., I feel that its the impulses we act on because of those difference that we need to work on.
