week 11

1. Jung-Kwan Lim
2. Why students do not accept minority?
3.Almost schools have similar policies. It means almost students have similar thinking. For example they don't want students who have bisexuality in their school. If such a person is, they disregard, exclude and humiliate him. Is it right to disregard person because he has different thinking or sexuality? So what is right and where it comes from? I think biased thinking is the result by being educated by persons who think right thing is a majority opinion not minority. But what if they are wrong? Is it desirable to think a majority opinion is always right? No, everyone could have different thinking and that thinking must not be ignored. Few weeks ago there was a students who kill himself, because his homosexuality is revealed on internet. When his homosexuality had been revealed, everyone have criticized and jeered him. This thinking must be changed. To do that school's educational policies must be improved.

5. Homophobia was rampant. Bullies were “pretty relentless,” he says, recalling that on his first day there, a girl walked up to him and asked, “Are you a faggot? No offense.” Eventually his parents pulled him out of the school.
Looking directly at the camera, Mr. Stowell, now 22, then says three words that he wants isolated gay, lesbian and transgender teenagers to hear: “It got better.”
Thousands of people like Mr. Stowell have posted personal testimonies to YouTube in an online campaign titled “It Gets Better” that has, in Internet parlance, “gone viral” in the four weeks since it started. The campaign is intended to help gay teenagers who feel isolated and who may be contemplating suicide, and it coincides with a rash of recent news stories about bullying and the suicides of gay teenagers and young adults.
