Examining My Researching things
My name is Danielle, I am 18 years old, White, Christian women. Even though growing up around people who are the same as me,I still get judged by people when I go out or talking to others when I go out in public.
To start off, white people get looked as we get everything we want and not have to work to get what we want. Honestly, I still have to work hard to get what I want. For me being a young woman, men think that I can’t do what they do. Little do they know I can. Growing up we were told that women can do want men to do, but that’s not true. Going to a school we had an equal amount of sports for girls and boys so we can be equal. But sports are just the beginning. It’s not fair for a girl to play a sport who cant have “physical contact” but the boy’s sports can be brutal and hurt each other. After 4 years of playing girl’s lacrosse in high school, it wasn’t as fun because we can’t have real physical contact and play rough because we’re girls. It isn’t fair that girls have to have this standard of not playing rough or as they say “playing dirty”. Now they started allowing girls to play football, baseball and join the wrestling team. That seems fair and all but what about that girl’s sports that wanna play rough such as softball, soccer, and lacrosse still can’t because of these restrictions because these men who made the rules think we can’t handle it.
Now my religion plays a big role in who I hang out with and where I try to plug myself in. With the world acting kinda crazy right now it hard to have faith because people are going against everything I’ve learned from church and from the bible. Growing up in a society where same sex marriage wasn’t normal, then now having a society same sex marriage is okay and accepted normal. Based on my religion this is not right. I still believe that to this day but in the bible, it says to love your neighbor as yourself. I still live by that every day and try to be kind to everyone I see. You never really know if that person or people need to know about Jesus and just need a little smile or some act of kindness to keep them going. With all this going on in the world people shame people who are Christian because we hate gay people, or they think it’s wrong and they shouldn’t be doing that stuff. The fact is that is wrong according to the bible and people think because it says that we still can’t love them. With that being said God wants us to love everyone because he loves us just as much. With all the sin in the world, it’s hard to keep my faith afloat because of all the people questioning my faith it’s so hard to believe these days. There’s so much stuff going on its hard to still believe with what the media feeds into us and tells us things should be done a certain way.
