Culture Differences in Society! FTW
While reading about this Swine Flu epidemic, I was concerned about minorities struggling in America and cases where minorities are discriminated against. In connection with the Grass Dancer and how the Sioux culture is mixed with the American culture, with an exception of San Francisco and how well we handle other cultures, the general American society does not accept the cultures of those who are not originally born in the U.S (i.e. Filipinos, Chinese, Mexicans, and etc.). Do you agree with this statement? If not, why?
Illegal Immigrants
Should illegal immigrants be sent back from where they came from or should they become naturalized? Explain

The Grass Dancer!
While reading the novel, I noticed the Backwards Style of writing Powers uses as she dates back all the way back to Red Dress' and Ghost Horse's time. Why do you think she writes backwards in time?!?! What is its significance!?!?!?

I do...
In the last week two states have granted marriage equality to all their citizens, irrespective of gender. Marriage is, or should be, both a constitutional and a human right.
Opponents of marriage equality argue that the institution cannot be changed. Yet it has had many faces over the centuries, while different cultures have varied definitions of what marriage is. Opponents of marriage equality among the religious community argue that granting equality to all will destroy the fundamental tenets of society as we know it. However, in every country and state where marriage equality is the law, the world has not come to an end., as predicted by the forces of social repression.
There is a generational divide between us...how many od my contemporaries feel about marriage equality produced Prop 8 and its passage – I would like toknow how the younger generation feels about it.
