Everything is Possible..Assessment 3

While reading about The Nguzo Saba and its seven principles, I can see how motivated and well guided were the African American community throughout those hard times. It was a hard period to claim for rights or to be considered equal with white people. The values and foundations of this principles show, strength and persistence in staying connected as a unit. Giving meaning to the fight and the situation they faced throughout those years help them see that alone individually they will only be victims. The stories found on the timeline connect with their values and also show the resistance that they created within one another it created a chain of reaction that mark history in the U.S believe is the right thing to do. As the years go by and I get older I can see how the voices and the thoughts of the black community become present in everyday's issues.Sometimes, even they show the inequality that people clearly show through their actions and gestures.  I don't consider fair for people to claim power over others based on physical appearance. Today I feel the different minorities have acquired purpose to expose the real differences that this country has given to them. I like to believe that people today do not let their rights be taken away. Now the black community shows a power that is making changes in our society. Their voices are visible to the rest of us. Now they can show the justice that they need, the strengths that they face and their intentions of stopping this negative trend. The seven principles are an ideology that I wish other communities should take the time to analyze to improve their organization and values.

Ujima one of the seven principles shows the importance of being responsible but to also learn to divide work equally. Family is a strong group that affects all types of families when it comes to development and self-growth. In the Harvey and Hill article I can see how there are different types of plans of interventions for small or big communities. Family interventions deal with outside factors that could make the situation complicated. But Imani the faith principle can help to control those aspects in a constructive way. Imani needs to be a big contributor to how the life of an African America youth can change. Evaluations are what assist people to realize what area needs improvement. Imani is by helping this support groups and interventions to expand their positive energy to others in different ways. One is by reminding them that a better tomorrow comes from the hard work that they put into today. For students not interested in getting educated they need to understand that Imani is part of the idea to take education like a open door that gives you the power to defend yourself from outside people that do not know what they want.

Tyler Perry's both have positive and negative contributions to the African American culture that not everyone is proud to hear about. In a way I can see the Kujichangulia principle which is the self-determination value. Perry shows comedy, real life situations, and feelings of confusion and doubt when it comes to doing the right thing. In a way, he was determine to show others how people struggle, what types of decision they unfortunately face. Probably is not the best to do a movie about economic or family issues for other cultures to see. Not everyone understands the type of art that he try to expose but I do not think that is a regression situation on Black Americans. If anything  the only bad thing is that this movies show exaggerated stories that not every Black American necessarily faces. But it gives a sense of construction to stop this lifestyle and to encourage society to change this pattern to future generations. When Perry made seem in a  movie how "Black women cannot find a man: they are married to their careers" in a way this is power to woman that depend on men that they do not have to be in that position. Women have the skills to do whatever they want to and about losing a man that's an exaggeration that not only applies to black woman. I feel that it applies to everyone.
