I love all of the images you have displayed here. The first two really spoke to me for some reason, perhaps the simplicity of them. I have heard the quote "If you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the problem" before and that is so true, especially when we look back at what we have gained from this class. (Erin)

Alan, To scan through all of the images with individual reflection upon their meaning and end with "To boldly go where no one has gone before." is very powerful. For me, it speaks to what we should do to create a world in which "teamwork" happens and education is truly valued as a "shining city upon a hill". (Connie)

I think you used some really good pictures. They are so raw and really make you look at the issue and not hide from it. Thought provoking quotes as well. (Chasati)

The pictures of the students show Koreans, a Japanese, an Iranian, a Turkish, a Russian, a Ukrainian, and a Hungarian. This is the type of mix I generally have in my classes, rarely do I have more than two or three of the same nationality, and rarely do I have native English speakers. I know that some of the pictures, even the one of the president, can be controversial, but true change is always controversial. In fact that is one of the indicators of true change over cosmetic changes, controversy. Whatever one thinks of Obama's policies there is no doubt that he represents a major change. I grew up with people, my parents, uncles and older cousins, who remember not being able to go with black friends into diners or having to drink from separate water fountains, all this has happened in one life time. And the Occupy Wall Street movement, again no matter what anyone thinks of it, it represents people getting involved and standing for something, which the 80s seemed to have completely washed out of American youth.
