Precarious Life

While reading through the Precarious Life I was caught off guard by the way the author was "Either you're with us or you're with the terrorists" (2) This is a prime example of positionality. I don't agree with this statement at all, there is more than just two options to one situation. After the September 11 event most Muslims were discriminated against. While the Muslim culture faced endless problems and harassment most Americans didn't feel safe. When something takes away a countries safety; people take things into their own hands. This causes country spread fear and havoc!

"United States has brought this state of events on itself. "(9) I also don't agree with this quote. I know every country has their enemies and problems but no country deserves to loose as many people has the united states did on September 11. Nor does a war fix what has happened. But I guess by human instinct it is survival of the fittest. This brings the egotistic people who think that they are better than anyone else, when in the end we are all human fighting for the same thing.

“We do not need to ground ourselves in a single model of communication, a single model of reason, a single notion of the subject before we are able to act” (48). Think about this in relation to in relation to your service-learning experience. Can you use a specific or significant moment to illuminate? This relates to my service learning at the because in order for us to save animals we have to go about it in several different ways. There isn't just one way to do things, not one "single" way to treat wounded dogs and cats. The possibilities are endless when it comes to saving animals and getting them adopted out. There is no single way for anything to happen in the rescue world. We can't ground ourselves to a single notion or communication because then when things don't go accordingly we wont know how to handle life.
