The quote by Lisa Delpit, “We do not really see with our eyes or hear through our ears, but through our beliefs,” has a really deep meaning.Our beliefs do have an impact on the way how we see other people. We do need to put our beliefs away when we are in the classrooms and try to see other people as individuals and do not judge people based on how they look like or based what the media say. We need to understand that people do not choose their color skin or their race and it is really important to be nice with everyone and we need to treat people how we want to be treated. People have different beliefs and we need to see things from other people's perspective there is no wrong beliefs but people are just different and each group see themselves as the right one. So we need to stop stereotyping and see other people and listen to them and put our beliefs away and try to understand other people's beliefs we do not really need to agree with them but we need to respect them. Especially if you want to be a teacher you are going work with different people from different groups and you need to understand where are they coming from and should teach your students to respect other people and see people as individuals and do not judge them based what other people say because no one has the right to judge other people.

BlogPost 2

For this blog post, we had to go sit at a public place and make observations about the people and things that we saw. So me and my friend decided to go to beachwood mall we had our lunch there, then we started our observations. 

1- Descriptions: what we saw :

- A teen girl sitting at a table by herself and using her phone.
- two old ladies sitting at a table and talking to each other. 
- A young man having lunch by himself.
-An old man sitting at a table and having a coffee and reading newspaper. 
- A teen girl having lunch with her friends.

2-Interpretations: what we thought was going on:

- she might be texting her friends or her mom or maybe she is waiting for someone.
- they are enjoying their time and they seem like if they did not see each other for a long time.
- maybe he just get off his work or maybe he works at one of the stores in the mall and he went to have lunch in his lunch break.
- it seems like if he is waiting for someone and it is a good time for a coffee because it is really cold outside. 
-  it seems like they are having a good time because they were laughing. 

3-Parking Lot:we cannot really know how other people feel about their lives, we might see them smile but maybe they have so many things going on in their lives and they are just faking their smiles so they can look string. No one like to look weak and we cannot always see what's real, because what's real is something that the eyes cannot always see. 

WebPost1: CLASS SURVEY

My name is Mohamed aljohani and I am from Saudi Arabia, I live 10 mins away from the school in university heights. I have been in Cleveland for almost 4 years and I still cannot get used to this weather.  I am Junior Psychology major. I love soccer and I want to go to Spain and meet real madrid players and then I want to go to the pride of north London (Arsenal). I spend my free time reading about psychology, philosophy and history, I like to help people so I do  volunteer at Cleveland clinic on Sundays  and it's a really good felling when you put a smile on people's faces. I went to the high school in Saudi Arabia and our school system is very different from the one here n the states. I think students need to feel comfortable in the classroom so they cane be creative, what I mean by comfortable here is that, they would not be afraid of saying anything even if it is wrong because they will never learn if they do not make mistakes. Students should respect each others and see things from other people's perspectives and it is the teacher's role to create this healthy environment in the classroom. I am a really quiet student,I do not usually participate unless when I have to. My question for Dr. Shutkin is that if you could change one thing in the world what would it be?
