First Book, Part 2-18 "COM263 - Movie: Day Without A Mexican"

This is me reading my first book. The PDF is available at https://www.linktr.ee/hackingcovfefe .

For the course, near the end of the semester, we were to watch this on our own time and then discuss it a bit as well as give our thoughts on the movie. I mean, it was a pretty decent execution and I loved the idea that ya make the bastard students do it on their own time, hahahaha. Yes, sure, I don't particularly like the whole concept of how universities are run and all that but, like, it's being run in the way which it is so we may as well play to it. ... We already have to do things such as read the chapter assignments before hand, like I had returned to high school or something, but... I thought it was a nice touch. lol.

Yeah, it's a movie and not reality. Even a documentary or a really decent simulation isn't reality, either. Still. It's trying to portray a particular political side of the debate and, ya know, it does help bring forward the emotional aspect even if it may not be completely accurate of the issue, itself.

The thing which I specifically called to mind in my commenting on my paper, six years later, is... Were the Mexicans illegal immigrants or legal immigrants? Even if, and I did note that something said that the economic impact of the Mexicans in California actually is positive... But while the economic impact is positive, potentially at least by the statistics and how they were argued... It life purely economic, like the Marxists would argue it is?

I guess that this paper of mine went towards a leftist bent. Oops. But like, ya know, you only have so much input and ya gotta go with that from time to time. It would be a waste of my time, for so little gain, to try and have a whole dissertation on the entire issue and pick apart the whole movie when, ya know, that's not the purpose of the assignment.

The assignment was a good and fun assignment to help us students group together, talk with each other, and then present to the professor our thoughts and findings.

"Intercultural communication" is the course that this assignment was for. As such... It was a decent assignment so, ya know, it doesn't particularly matter the paper's political seeming leaning when, ya know, it wasn't an assignment to solve all of the world's problems.

...

I commented about numerous things, as I have in all of these readings of my academic work. I dunno. It was a learning experience and, ya know, I am thankful for it. It was hilarious having the struck out "forced against my will" regarding why I was doing the assignment... XD The professor was slightly offended but it was at the end of the semester and like, hey, gotta have some fun. Why are we always so serious?

It's college. It's not the military.
