Don't Ask, Don't Tell
I personally don't think that the Don't Ask, Don't Tell should be in effect. Honestly, if you have the courage to fight for your country, why question sexuality? We should openly welcome those who want to fight for our country and not turn them down. If you are openly gay, you have the same right to fight like a straight man or woman. Why make this an issue when we have more things to worry about. I think that they should not use this policy and accept those AMERICANS who want to better our country.

Free Writing on Globalization
- My views on "Americanization of the world" are really up for both sides here. I think that if we see amazon Indians wearing American clothing we know that our counrty is popular. So popular that our clothes are being shipped around the world. I think that if this is the case, then at least they have clothing to wear in the first place.
- McDonaldization is showing the effects of globalization around the world. McDonalds is the main problem because everywhere you turn, their is a McDonalds. They introduce children to happy meals and toys so they can eat their food. This causes obesity.
- Pessimistic hyperglobalizers: Somewhat taking a stand against western civilization.
- Optimistic hyperglobalizers: Taking a stand for globalization and looking at the positive outlooks of globalization.

Multigenre Plans
I plan on making a slideshow on my project. It will have a video that has to do with soccer and possibly its roots. My information with be presented through the slideshow. I plan on having a few pictures to set the idea of my topic and give you close up photos of players in action. I will be wearing a soccer jersey to show what they look like and just to wear it.

Social Questionnaire
Otto's social class is something i can relate too. We are both part of the middle class society and live in a middle class neighborhood. We both have enough money to be comfortable with our lives. The most and least areas are similar for both of us. It looks like we dont go to church alot and dont like community service. I know what it's like to be falsly profiled like Otto. Living where he does, people confuse him with the rich part of town and he is always asked if he is rich. I live in Chicago and people instantly think i live in one of the tall buildings around the Loop.

Research so far...
I am currently in the works of writing my interview. I am going to pick the people i want to interview and then interview them in the near future. I have done a lot of research and feel it is time to share it with others. The good thing about this interview is that i can relate to the topic 100 percent. I just really hope people are intrigued by it.
