1.) Maybe in Saudi Arabia where the laws of men and women are drastically different should there be soft skills needed to survive on a day to day basis. In America men and women all share the same laws, this is why soft skills are not entirely needed in America. I believe the only place to find different rules on men and women is in the military. The main soft skill I believe you should need in America is learning how to create a law suit and file charges against somebody being sexist to you.
2.) I disagree, on a university or college level there should not be a issue with race or gender. We students pay for one thing on this campus and that is to learn and graduate. It seems like she is trying to say that kids in school want to come to ridicule others. I personally have only experienced racial or gender issues in grade school. Now that I am in college I have yet to see these issues. I of course am speaking contemporary when I say I have yet to experience these issues. We are all just people who want an education.
Let a record spin..

Discussion Questions # 8
1.)
A: Yes, the Spanish we use in my house is a mix between Peruvian and Mexican dialects, when I took Spanish two they wanted me to use the term Vosrotos, at home we did not even use this term, we used Nosrotos.
B:To be honest learning the proper way of Spanish in school was just adding to my general knowledge of Spanish. It didn't change a thing, I still rarely use the new school terms. Having to master the "language" in my job field should not be a problem with me.
C:No, it wont matter what language I use, so long as my employer is satisfied with the credibility of the language the job demands. I respect all languages and all their forms (dialects).
2.)
A:Yes. No success can never be obtained without sacrifice because when something is obtained or gained something such as time or money , something, is used to gain what ever you were trying to obtain.
B:Yes you can if you and the others involved tried hard enough. A true intimate relationship with family or love(d) ones should not be broken because of a career or discipline with the exception to a field that has you go away forever or something extreme like that.
C: I believe it was not worth it. Losing family should be the last thing you ever do. It shouldn't even be an option to lose family it's just so important. True relationships are with those who are related to the every blood in your veins.

Discussion Questions # 6
1.) I believe allusion is quiet alienating. Although useful the extensive use of allusion in the essay pointed attentions toward other texts rather her own. The writer seems to underestimate with her writing abilities and therefore fills space with text from other more successful writings. This convinced me that the write wasn't worth the reading. I kept on reading in hopes that the constant flashes to other text would stop, however I was wrong to exponential lengths.
2.) She says that "self-respect is a discipline, a habit of mind that can never be faked but can be developed,trained,coaxed fourth"(Joan Didion). I believe that the majority of the populous would agree with this. Self-respect is a born factor that cannot be man-made later in life but it can be molded into something unique and powerful. She also says that " one runs away to find oneself, and finds no one at home"(Joan Didion). This in my opinion means without self respect you will be caught in a loophole of identity loss and that you must realize you are born with self respect from the start you always had it.
3.) In my opinion it is the born power of these "disciplines" that she said before is what connects us to writing ability from self-respect. Everybody is born with the ability to learn to write as well as to respect ones self, its a matter if your willing to mold these skills into something worth significant value. A habit of mind or in my own words the integrated natural programming of the mind functioning as the basic codes , ethics , or skills to day to day living. These skills such as self-respect are the basic fundamentals on how a person recognizes him or her self in society. The ability to communicate for example already places this person in society as one who interacts with it as a unique sentient being that is able to be symbiotic with society.
