My comment about this semester. (Jee Yun Choi)

I think this semester is pretty tough and busy for all of us. We just finished our research paper, but final is coming now. Some students might start their final test. I also have a test for my major course tomorrow. However, I want to say that we all did a great job for not only Eng class but also all of courses in this semester. However, we just have about 2weeks before summer break. It should be pretty long, but fun. We are ready to enjoy our break. Let's do our best before Summer Vacation!

"Say Yes" (Jee Yun Choi)

A husband was known as a considerate husband to his wife because he usually helped his wife through drying dishes like housework. However, it was not hus real thinking. Of course, he wanted to help his wife, but he used to do that to show how considerate he was.
Basically, a husband and his wife havwe had different opinion about gettung married between white people and black people. A wife put a point to the love, and a husband thiught the culture backgroung is important to make a relationship. He thought that white and black people cannot understand each other because of different culture, but a wife thought they even can get married if they really love each other.
Because of this gap of opinions, they made a argument, and they even fought each other. After fighting, the writer states, "when he was done the kitchen looked new, the way it looked when they were first shown the house. It implies the result after fighting. Finally, he changed his mind and he said to his wife that he wants to get married although she would be black person.
At last part, he room went dark and that atmosphere is like first night of them. Actually, his opinion about the relationship between the black and white is still same, but he really loved his wife. Therefore, he tried to change his mind. So, the mood of room was changed like first time they met. It was already implied before as I said above. He felt his wife is like stranger. It is positive meaning, because they can love each other like first time through this effort and experience although both still have a same opinion about the relationship between the black and white. It was possible because they really love each other, so they cam recover from this trouble.

Ryuhei Yoshida

1- "The youngest black man - a broad six feet two inches with a bread and billowing hair, both hands shored into the pockets of a balky military jacket - seemed menacingly."

2- I think he is a kind guy, but because of his looks, he seems scary. He's like a hedgehog. He wants to talk another person but his looks doesn't allow to do that. A hedgehog wants to nestle each other, however, if he nestle each other he hurts others. His appearance makes him hedgehog. We'd better not judge people from their appearance but, unfortunately, our stereotype change our mind to others.

3- Sometime, Japanese are killed by foreigner in Japan. In some cases, which are killed by black guy. This makes our mind scare to another unknown black guy.

Black men and public space ( Cicely Li)

"The youngish black man-a broad six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, both hands showed into the pockets of a bulky military jacket-seemed menacingly chase."
The author is a very nice black people. He is fear of many things. But because of his appearance, he is often though as a thief or a killer or a robber. But he is also afraid of people attacking him first for self-defense. Actually, he didn't do any thing wrong even he never wants to be a robber of a killer. But, he is tall, black, with beard and looks decadent. People think him as a dangerous without consideration.
After reading this article, I begin to think should we judge a person from his or her appearance? Are all of black people dangerous? Are all of white people safe? When we are walking alone in dark, we are a little bit scared. Certainly, we should know how to protect ourselves. Maybe, we can have a sense of safeguard to the black people, but, we don't need to act out. If the people is as nice as the author, he will get hurt. We should believe not all black people are dangerous, some of them are even nicer than some of the white people.

Black Men and Public Space (jing jia zhen)

1.In the articla,Mr.Staples is a youngish black man——a board six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, when he walks both his hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky millitary jacket——seemed menacingly close.

2. But, in fact, Mr.Staples was not as dangerous as he looks like. Opposite, he is a uproght young man and graduated from famous univresty--Chicago Universty. As a black guy he was not only got good education but also easy going even a little bit timid, most of time, when people treated hime like a bad guy or he got discrimination, he always accepted. So I think he deserves to be sympathetic and being treated in impartial.

3.I think the real threat is discrimination. people cannot treat each other sincerely, if we always think someone is dangouers just depens on what he or she looks like can we feel the real friendships or if we treat others in bad way how they will reflect to us? I think discrimination will lead to the relationship between each other in a bad circle which make our life have many barriers and without trust.

Black man and public space( Yichen Wang)

A broad six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, both hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky military jacket --seemed menacingly close.
Black men are always be thought as dangerous guys. People think black men rob, fight, freakout, murder. The writer, as a Africa Amercian, he always feels fear about something. He can not feel the happiness like other color.
There are really heevy racism and misunderstand about black men. Other groups do not dare or unwill to make friends or communicate with black. It cannot help to ease the situation.

The black Man...(Man Chan)

1." the youngish black man- a broad six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, both hands shoved into the pockets of a bluk military jacket."
2. He used to be a graduate student, he is a writter now. He has a good eduction. He is just a nomal person in the society.
3. I think in 1970s, that things were normal because black man just get black their civil right. That is very hard for other poeple change their stereotyre idea that black people are not a good person. They didn't go to school, they will kill someone and so on. I think it needs time to change the concept of black man. That is misunderstanding.

Black Men and Public Space (Yuehua Jin)

According the the article the black man was descript a youngish man-a board six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair,both hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky military jacket-seemed menacingly close." He said:"The fearsomeness mistakenly attributes to me in public places often has a perilous flavor."
But actually he was scarcely noticeable against a backdrop of gang warfare, street knifings, and murders. He grew up one of the good boys, had only perhaps a half-dozen fistfights. He is a shy boy.
I think the real "threat" is racism, because he is a black man, so everybody thinks he always do bad things, even though he never do it.we have to change the mind, we can't evaluate a person according to their color, and we should be objective to access a person.

Public Space and Black Man (Duekhyun Kim)

The black guy is very tall and he has a beard and billowing hair, both hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky military jacket. He was twenty-two years old, a graduate student newly arrived at the University of Chicago.
He feel surprised, embarrassed, he could feel fear and happiness as the other people. He is same to the other people, such as white and yellow. One difference is skin color. People think black guy make them fearful so people tend to avoid the black guy. However, people mistake about the black guy. Actually, he is kind and coward.
I think this situation is racism. Because of skin color, people mistake black people as criminals. People have to change idea about racism. All poeple are equal. It is right conception about racism.

The black man in the U.S (Dun Gong)

In a dark night, the black man in casual clothes went on the road.He found a woman looked back at him with fear. Then, he picked up her pace of walking, but after seconds, she disappeared from his sight. He felt much frighten than others, but after he came down, he found that is public space.
The black man is not a bad guy; some people think the most robbers are caused by the black. So, they are guard against the black. The realization is come from some bad examples in the black, but not all of them are the same.
People need to communicate with each other. If you without communicate with a stranger, you never know who is he and what kind of person he is.

Public Space & Black Man (Sunkyung Yoo)

1. Pick out the description to this black man.
He is a very tall guy as 6 feet 2 inches with a beard and billowing hair. In other words, he has long hair. In addition, he wears a military jacket, both hands shoved into the pockets of his clothes.

2. What kinds of guy the author is
In my opinion, he is good guy who has well education. Because he tries to understand other people, he shows that he respects others. However, he is a very sensitive personality and easy to hurt. When he feel that people are afraid of him, he should try to do something to change his mind instead of frustration.

3. I think he has misunderstanding others. Most people, especially women have fear that somebody will hurt her. However, he just thinks from the viewpoint of racism. Instead of thinking racism, he had better think in another way, such as more positive ways.

Be opposed to racial discrimination (Yang Li)

The author, Brent Staples is telling us about his several personal episodes. He was "twenty-two years old, a graduate student newly arrived at the University of Chicago". Moreover, he was a "youngish black man-- a broad six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair". He was often misunderstood that he is a mugger because of his appearance who seemed menacing and others' racial prejudice. Staples soon percieve "unnerving gulf lay between nighttime pedestrians--particularly women--and him". As a matter of fact, he is a timid boy that"scarcely able to take a knife to a raw chicken" and a shy guy. Typically, "women are particularly vulnerable to street violence, and young black males are drastically overrepresented among the perpetrators of that violence". However, the truth is when people afraid of him, he also has the feeling of fear.People frequently have the incorrect judgment of strangers by their appearance, such as their colors. some even define black men as dangerous people before they have enough communication. The potential problem is the racial discrimination. people pay more attention on other's complexion, but not virtue of inside. It is a disrespect performance of racism.

"Black Men and Public Space" (Fan,Zhen）

The author has worked on numerous newspapers and is now an Editiorial Board member of The New York Times. Brent Staples reveals both causes and effects of people's reacting with fear to a black man. He was twenty-two years old, a graduate student newly arrived at the University of Chicago. Many people, whatever balck, white, male or female made him feel like an accomplice in tyranny. They were afraid of him,because his skin color, his dressed or his big body. However, in his inside, he also was afraid of those people. In fact, They fear each other.

The integration of races in the U.S. The people who has different color, different occupations, and different cultural backgrounds are gathered in the same city. Everyone's ideas are different. Everyone is too busy to do many things when they are in a high stress situation. People fear being deceived. Or worse, mutual mistrust is now rising. Everyone has learned to indemnify oneself against harm. Maybe frustration results in the huge distrust to every person. They have to avoid negative people,places,things and habits. No one wants to stir up trouble for oneself. Everyone has his own life. Thus, in the busy city, people keep their distance from each other.

Anyway, as the proverb says," One should never intend to do harm to others, but should always guard against the harm others might do to him." In my opinion, it is important to be based on relation of mutual understanding and trust between people.

Black Men & Public Space (Hoang Dinh)

Once in a while, everyone will have to consider to buy something to defense themselves, like a pepper spray. It probably happens when they have to work late and walk home everyday, on a deserted street in the middle of the night. What will usually threaten them? Most answers would be “the youngish black man - a broad six feet two inches with a beard and billowing hair, both hands shoved into the pockets of a bulky military jacket, which usually seemed menacingly close”. That is exactly what Brent Staples described himself in his autobiography, “Black Men and Public Space”. Being an ordinary graduate student newly arrived at the University of Chicago, he has been mistaking as a threat anywhere he goes. People keep treating and threatening him as a criminal, who he isn’t. Talking about black people, everyone will immediately think about the image of “a mugger, a rapist, or even worse”(Staples). Ironically, it is a wrong concept that people has kept in mind for a long time. Being careful is necessary, but will they ever reconsider, that the frightening looking man just across the street, is maybe just a normal person, who can be highly educated and completely harmless? Just because one guy is black doesn’t mean he is a criminal. People is working against racism everyday, doing big campaigns, but they don’t really know, one small and simple thought would make a big change in all aspects of life.

Hoang Dinh,

"Black Men and Public Space" (Xing.Pan)

The youngish black man, a broad six feet two inches with a bread and billowing hair both hands shoved into the pockets of bulky military jacket—seemd menacingly close. He is a black man and He is clear and he has a good education and graduated from university,he worked as a journalist in Chicago.
In my opinion, Racial discrimination is one of the most controversial concerns in the world especially in the United States.But the discrimination exists today and will continue to do so but we can only look at those prejudice individuals as ignorant people who judge others by the color of their skin. There is no equal right in America, but anybody didn't want to change.So I think it's a terrible problem. I think every people is equal whatever their color of skin.

"Black men and public space" (Yuhui. li)

"The guy is a six feet two inches high with a beard and billowing hair both hands shoved into pockets of a bulky military jecket"

He is a black man and he away from his hometown fist time.He has a good education and graduated from university. He knows people fear of him because his image is not good especially, he is a black man.

In my opinion , I think he is a formal person but people fear 0f him and discriminate for him because he is a black man .People see him from his face or clothes.Although he has a bad appearance but he is not a bad person.

Black Men and Public Space (Shota Takemura)

As professor said before reading this article, she explained the difference between the comfortable space of Asian and that of Westerners. I got an interest about it. For Asian, they bow when they meet. So, they need the farther space than Westerners. On the other hand, Westerners hug with each other when they meet.
But, on this article, the different case is raised. According to the first example, the black guy with long hair, on the military jacket. he used to be a graduate student. He scared the white woman.
I think this author is good guy. he is black and looks to be dangerous. But, I think he is good from this article.
And, I think threat is vague, invisible thing based on the stereotype for a long time. For example, the racial discrimination is the threat.

Objectives. This study examined the prevalence and consequences of foot binding in older Chinese women. Methods. Women older than 70 years in Beijing, China, were assessed for bound feet, falls, functional status, and bone density. Results. Thirty-eight percent of women aged 80 years and older and 18% of women aged 70 through 79 years had bound-foot deformities. Women with bound feet were more likely to fall, less able to squat, and less able to stand up from a chair without assistance than women with normal feet. They also had 14.3% less functional reach (a test of balance) and 5.1% lower hip bone density. Conclusions. Foot binding has caused substantial disability that is still evident in many elderly Chinese women. (Am J Public Health. 1997; 87: 1677-1679)

The initial demands of women to education and legislation should be equal, economic equality with men.
The second generation of Western feminism: early 20th century from the 20th century 60's, the world experienced two world wars, they will complete opposition to women and men: men are the enemy, a woman is a friend; men are violent, women are the gentle ; men are persecuted, women are the victims of persecution; men are oppressors, women are oppressed; men are warmongers, women are pacifists; men are winners, women are losers; man who is an individual-centrism , a woman who is relationship oriented; man confined to genitals on pleasure, the pleasure of women is reflected in all aspects of the body; men focus only on the results, women would pay attention to the process ... ... and so on.

Research on women- or gender-and-development issues requires a thorough understanding of both development and feminist theoretical frameworks. Theoretical frameworks fundamentally shape research approaches and are therefore an essential underpinning for feminist research. Theory is not wisdom; it is a set of tools. Theory should be criticized and redefined in specific social contexts. Most feminist and development theories have their roots in the West and need to be tested and redefined in other contexts. However, one needs a basic theoretical knowledge before undertaking the important process of critique and debate.
