Grace Song edited the blog post Reflection in the group American Studies: 6 years, 4 months ago
This is already my final blog post, and it’s weird to see how fast this semester has gone. I first want to thank Professor McCoy and all of you who are reading this for inspiring me by expressing your thoughts, connections, and interpretations of all the literature we have read and the topics we have discussed this semester. As a biology major, t…[Read more]

Grace Song edited the blog post Are We Really The Victims? in the group American Studies: 6 years, 4 months ago
I found out after I wrote this that this blog post is actually not meant for our class, but I still think the content can be related back to what our class discusses. The topic of the blog post was the fact that people who tend to read more are able to be more empathetic and sympathetic than those who don’t due to their ability to put themselves i…[Read more]

So, I’m a part of the professional medical fraternity Phi Delta Epsilon on campus. Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend the last chapter meeting, but a friend of mine mentioned that there was a topic di […]

Grace Song wrote a new blog post Do We Resist The Order in the group American Studies: 6 years, 4 months ago
Because the class itself has not touched upon the medical topic in a while, I was interested to read the article. I personally am not very familiar with the “Do Not Resuscitate” order, so I had to do a little bit […]

Grace Song edited the blog post Consent or Compulsion in the group American Studies: 6 years, 5 months ago
Since the beginning of the semester, we have touched upon the topic of consent on various occasions, and it has been consistently brought up during our discussions of Butler’s Clay’s Ark. While separated into small groups, I have come across the debate about the relationship between the infected individuals and consent. Aside from the lack of con…[Read more]

Grace Song edited the blog post Unfortunately Ironic in the group American Studies: 6 years, 6 months ago
Whilst discussing how we can connect Zulus and Medical Apartheid last week, I came across two quotes from the books that eerily seemed to connect.On page 151 of Medical Apartheid, Washington states, “Still, it was much safer and healthier to be a black soldier than a black civilian.” The irony of this statement really floored me. The fact that Afr…[Read more]

In Kyung Song edited the blog post I’m Wrong in the group American Studies: 6 years, 6 months ago
How Zulus relates to our class topic of racism was on my mind while we have been covering the book. Prior to our conversation of how the book reflects the consequences of prejudices that is associated with Alice’s weight and its parallelism to racism, I had wondered what race Alice was. Although this may not be relevant to the story overall, I h…

In Kyung Song edited the blog post A Reminder in the group American Studies: 6 years, 7 months ago
As we were discussing examples within Home that relate to the topics in the course title, Sabrina B. and Adaeze brought up an interesting point to consider whilst reading Home. They pointed out that we should think about the overall message of the book and how it relates to the title of Home.
Adaeze elaborated that “home” is where we fee…[Read more]
