At class this week I had some interesting discussions about when I first figured out that there were different races. I am interested in your perspective.

At what age (or grade) did you first realize that there were different races?

Evolution of Beauty

It has been too long.
I have just started a book called, "Reviving Ophelia" by Mary Pipher for one of my classes and thought this was an interesting quote.....

"Our Western Culture is far from ideal for women. So many gifts are unused and unappreciated. So many voices are stilled. All geniuses born women are lost to the public good."

Then I watched this video.



Do you agree with this statement?

Where do you even begin to make a change?
