On a few sites I read this morning ( Rachel Gardner and Chris Brogan) the value and conscience on how we use words were discussed. I even blogged a few thoughts at my Wade-In blog . This also gave me a chance to mention facts from the Beads on a String Racially Intertwined Biographical History Book and how mere words can change the way we think about individuals, history, and the world.
Fact 1: The concept of race was established by one German physiologist/anthropologist named
JFLOWTEXTLINK ,WEB,HTTP:////en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Friedrich_Blumenbach,,ohann Friedrich Blumenbach, 1 thesis paper titled On the Natural Varieties of Mankind , 5 categories, and 60 skulls.
Fact 2: On further study Blumenbach changed his mind, but couldn't take back his words.
Fact 3: So much more can be learned by reading Beads on a String Racially Intertwined Biographical History Book. Do you think the use of words can make a difference in life or work?
This is my blog, not a public forum. I don't mind serious discussion, but I will delete your comments for personal attacks (whether on me or my guests), in appropriate language,disrespectful behavior or excessive self-promotion.
On the blog In the Chair-Ya Picture Books I post interviews and info about children picture books. I post anytime http://thekidscornr.blogspot.com/
On the blog Debney Nichole Armstrong's Journal of Lies, my character Debney from D.N.A. discusses her life and sometimes interviews other YA characters. http://dna-bloodtiesandlies.blogspot.com/ Here I have no schedule either.
I post at THE NATURAL PARENT http://livinginglass.blogspot.com on the weekends mostly. There I write about plants, and babies and such. This is my relaxing spot.
I am a caged in frustrated author and self-publisher of thought provoking, mind bending books, an occasional step-in parent, a fountain of knowledge, and ready to share. Visit Wade-In Publishing http://wade-inpublishing.com where hopefully I share writing, publishing information.
