Module 3
I am very excited to be learning about such an interesting culture with so much to learn. I also think it is very sad how the Maya people go through so much conflict on their ways of life. No one should ever be judge for the way they live. I also think that all Maya art should be just as important as it was before. Every piece of art has a meaning and should be thought of more sacred than the last. Learning about how the Maya people were so fascinated with writing and the calender intrigues me because it seems like that's all they focused on which is awesome. Over 30 languages that is insane. I also find Menchu is a very smart person keeping her beliefs to herself to protect herself. Her quotes are very powerful to me because she stands up for what she believes in. Makes her a very powerful woman.

Week 1

Week 1

"Create a blog this week on your experience with Mexico or Guatemala, Belize, Honduras ...meaning have you been there? Are you from there? Whether you have or have not been there...give me three things that come to mind when you think about any of these countries and then explain why  those things remind you of that particular place. "

All of these places are beautiful from all of the pictures I have looked at. I hope one day I can see the beauty in person.

When I think of Mexico, I think of food, culture, and Poverty.

I think of food because, I know if I ever go to Mexico, I will be extremely excited to try Mexican food first hand. In America, Mexican food is delicious, but I'm sure the real deal is 10x better. Also when I think about Mexico, I think about the culture. There is so much to be learned. Mexican culture is well respected for its folk art and music traditions, many of them handed down from the early indigenous cultures. My grandmother has a bunch of Mexican art around her house that her father gave her, but she doesn't know much about it. I would love to learn more. Poverty also comes to my mind, because I've heard of a lot about how people are on the street selling things for so cheap trying to make a living. I just articles about it and it breaks my heart that families are living on less then two dollars a day. Some things in our world are unfair.
