3/22 I-IV of “The Case for Reparations” – Read up to “V. The Quiet Plunder”
“In 1930 its population was 112,000. Today it is 36,000.” – I feel this is important because I think that over the years the population should grow and not shrink. I think that with the growing of the economy and racism going down that more people would try to move in to bring up the value and population of the area. Why would people continue to live in a place that is so under populated with a high crime rate and not try…

For example, Dweck brings up “Just the words yet or not yet we’re finding these give kids greater confidence, gives them a path into the future that creates greater persistence.” Then Lukianoff and Haidt bring up “The idea that words (or smells or any sensory input) can trigger searing…
Homework 2/3
Carol Dweck’s Ted Talk called “The Power of Yet” is about the “Power of Yet” or of a growth mindset is the belief that you can improve. If you do not (yet) know how to code or how to navigate the command line, you can learn. The great news for all of us too is that “mindsets can be taught, they are malleable”.
