Thanksgiving

Hoy se conmemora en los EEUU Thanksgiving -Día de Acción de Gracias- Es una de las festividades más tradicionales en Estados Unidos y se celebra todos los años el cuarto jueves del mes de noviembre.

El primer Thanksgiving lo celebraron en 1621 los primeros peregrinos. Ellos habían viajado desde Inglaterra a América en 1620 en el barco Mayflower y desembarcaron en Plymouth. Escapaban de las restricciones de la iglesia de Inglaterra y también de la pobreza. Tras un primer año muy duro y difícil conmemoraron su primera cosecha. El presidente Abraham Lincoln inició la conmemoración a mediados del siglo XIX durante la Guerra Civil estadounidense. 

El frenesí por las compras para el día de mañana viernes, conocido como Black Friday, es muy significativo entre los estadounidenses y es semejante a nuestras compras de Navidad.

Paradógicamente este año en tres estados de los EEUU se ha declarado ilegal la apertura de las tiendas para este fin de semana, según este artículo del Huffington Post.

Dangerous Minds: There is no victims in this planet

Dangerous Minds: There is no victims in this planet.

Script  

....Hey, listen. Nobody is forcing you to be here. You can stay or you can leave. 

Lady. Why do you plan this today, Do we have a choice? 

Don’t you have a choice whether you are here or not here? 

Either we graduate or we have to put up with you. 

So you have a choice either you graduate or you have to put up with me. So there is a choice. Maybe this is not the choice you like, but there is a choice. 

But you understand nothing, you don’t come from where we live, you don’t boast here. 

You do have the choice of coming up that bus. 

You come and live in my neighborhood for one week, and then you told me if you have a choice. 

There a lot of people who live in your neighborhood to choose not to get on that bus. What did they choose to do? They chose to sell drugs, they chose to go out and kill people, they chose to do a lot of other things, but not to get on that bus. The people who choose to get on that bus are you and the people who are saying: I will not carry myself down to die, and when I’ll go to my grave my head will be high. 
That is the choice. There is not victims in this classroom. 

Why do you care, anyway? You are just here for the money? 

Because I made the choice of care and money is not that good.
