English Class (CRR)

Today in english class we had a debate based lesson. Ms. Hegeman began to start a class discussion about 9 statements and we would respond on where we agree or disagree with the statement. Today i will be listing 5 of the 9 statements. The first statement was Artist only draw for money. I disagree with this statement because if you're doing something you love or something you particularly take interest in you shouldn't really care about the money. A second statement that was brought up in the class today was slaves express ideas because of their masters. I agree with this statement because throughout their whole life they've been listening to their master and interpreting ideas due to their masters actions and choice of words. The third statement was freeman are better than slaves. I disagree with this statement because as a freeman they barely get respect of the color of their skin. Also in most american civilizations freeman got looked down upon which really made it hard for them to find good paying jobs. The fourth statement was Christianity is against slavery. I disagree with this statement because in The Bible, many stories spoke upon slavery. Last but not least another statement was artist should identify their race through their works. I disagree with this statement because race should not matter , if they’re promoting their works they should express their feelings through art not their race. Today i had a good day in class and i enjoyed the lesson because we don’t normally get chances to express how we feel about certain statements.
