MOSQUE CONTROVERSY REFLECTION

Today’s discussion was heated if you ask me. I believe that Mj brought a lot of good information and research that really sparked this discussion. I learned a lot more just from listening to her but she also mentioned some things I already knew. I think people in class were having more of an angry screaming version of a debate rather than a discussion. I also think people brought more of a bias opinion rather than factual information or an “argument”. I am not going to lie I got a little pissed off today when I would have something to say and people would just talk over me or start arguing with someone and there would be two to three people talking at once.  It was like every time I started to say something someone would just start talking louder than me. It got to the point where I just kind of gave up at trying to speak out. I was able to get a few statements out but not all I wanted to.  But after the discussion, Andrea and I had our own little miniature discussion. It was pretty funny but I actually got to say what I wanted to say and since she was for it and I was against it, it worked out pretty well. But all in all it was a good discussion and I look forward to the next one.
