The following questions should serve as a guide for your entry:
· What is one group (racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, gender, religious, social class, etc.) with which you feel you can identify in terms of belonging to this group?
· Would you consider this group a majority or minority group? Why?
· How important is this group identity to you? If it is very important, what do you think makes it important? If it is not, why do you think it is not important to you?
· In what way or ways might this group identity help to shape your view of the world?
· How is your ability to be objective about minority-majority issues influenced, either positively or negatively by this group identity?
Comments:
Carl, you’ve done a very good job on your first journal entry and your application of the concepts of “machismo” and objectivity. See my comment on the definition of minority. Are Hispanics considered a minority only due to their numbers? Other relevant concepts that might apply to what you’ve written here might be symbolic interaction and cultural differentiation.
You needed to apply two theories this week. You might have used social identity theory to explain your feeling of comfort around those like you in terms of the ethnicity and social status. You might also have used Interactionist theory to explain the process of cultural transmission of Hispanic norms and values, especially those that apply to Hispanic males as well as to explain why skin color may be significant in the U.S. while it is not as significant in Latin American countries. Interactionists would also suggest that taking one’s time may be interpreted as being lazy in the US and this might result in conflict. Our culture shapes our perceptions and in turn, this influences how we react to those who are not like us in certain respects. Your APA format is very good overall. If the information cited is quoted material, then you also need to include the page number on which the quoted material is located.
As noted in the instructions, these journals are “practice” for the paper. They are meant to help you in applying concepts and theory, so be sure to follow my comments and the feedback I give you each week. Review the rubric below to see where you need to concentrate on improving your entries. If you do not understand something, please contact me. Thanks! Instructor C :-)
The ethnic group with which I feel I can identify in terms of belonging to this group is Hispanic. I would consider this group to be a minority group and so does society. Although Hispanics have grown significantly in numbers throughout the United States their numbers as far as population goes are still low in comparison to others in the United States[k1] . Hispanics have grown to be the largest minority group in the United States (Parrillo, 2011). Being Hispanic to me is very important. It signifies who I am and what I am about. One thing that makes this identi.

Assignment 3: Views on Diversity
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.
To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an
Informed Consent
document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment.
Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
Show indifference to cultural differences.
Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?
Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:
What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.

Discussion: Stereotypes: Categories and Concepts for Understanding the World
Picture a teacher talking to a student. In the instant that you thought of the word
teacher
, what image of a person jumped into your mind? What were the age, color, gender, and nationality of the imagined teacher? What was the teacher doing and wearing? Similarly, what image of a

Humans understand the world by creating categories and labeling concepts and, in this way, apply the concepts in a new circumstance. Stereotypes fall into this category of labeling concepts. They provide a system of coding that facilitates the acquisition of knowledge. On the other hand, stereotypes often demean people by distorting individual characteristics, skills, and abilities. By classifying people based on perceived characteristics of a group, inaccuracies arise at individual and group levels. These inaccuracies about individuals or groups can inhibit effective communication. As an intercultural communicator, however, there are some instances when using stereotypes can be helpful in gaining a level of cultural competence.
To prepare for your Discussion:
Review Chapter 6 in the course text
.
Pay particular attention to the section on stereotyping and the list of cultural categories. Have you seen or heard anyone stereotype any of these cultural categories either in the media or in your own experience?
Locate common stereotypes about your culture on the Internet. Do any of them surprise you? What is true about these stereotypes? What is untrue?
Find three common stereotypes of your culture in the media, or, using the cultural categories in Chapter 6 of the course text, think of a personal experience where you were stereotyped by your membership in one of those categories. Do you feel you are stereotyped in specific ways by certain cultural categories?
Reflect on a personal experience or an example in the media where your culture has been stereotyped by another culture. How does stereotyping by the sender or receiver of the message in this situation affect the intercultural communication?
Note:
One of the goals of this course is to promote a wide variety of views. You are encouraged to present your honest personal viewpoint while at all times reflecting a respectful tone for the views of others.
Do
a 2 paragraph description of two examples of a stereotype of your culture that is found in the media or that you experienced personally. Explain the effects that true and untrue aspects of the selected stereotypes have on intercultural communication.

Then briefly explain why you identified as holding or lacking privilege. Provide a concrete example to demonstrate your understanding of privilege related to this specific identity characteristic. In the final column, provide a brief narrative about why you hold or lack privilege based on that specific identity.
Your place of privilege is often determined by the perceived social group in which society places you, and privilege varies depending on the context and intersecting identities. You may hold a position of privilege with one identity, while simultaneously holding a position which lacks privilege from another identity. You will not be graded on how you self-identify. The goal is to engage in self-reflection and critical thought. You may choose not to disclose any identity. If you prefer not to state, explain which groups hold privilege based on that identity characteristic and how that affects other groups.

I identify as an African American. As per the African American history, most of the forefathers of the race migrated into the US as a result of slavery. It is due to such a history that African Americans have been an inferior race in the US as most of the other races do not consider African Americans as belonging in the US. Such inferiority has resulted in a lack of privileges among African Americans.
For instance, African Americans often have a hard time accessing public resources or even funds as they are viewed as a lower race compared to others. The same.

OBSTACLES TO CULTURAL COMPETENCE
UNDERSTANDING RESISTANCE TO MULTICULTURAL TRAINING
Chapter Objectives
1. Acknowledge and understand personal resistance to multicultural training.
2. Identify how emotional reactions to topics of prejudice, discrimination, and oppression can act as obstacles to cultural competence.
3. Understand worldview differences between majority and socially devalued group members in this society.
4. Make sense of why majority group members often react differently from marginalized group members when issues of racism, sexism, or heterosexism are discussed.
5. Be cognizant of how worldviews may influence the ability to understand, empathize, and work effectively with diverse clients.
6. Realize that becoming an effective multicultural counselor is more than an intellectual exercise and is a lifelong journey.
Reading and digesting the content of this book may prove difficult and filled with powerful feelings for many of you. Students who have taken a course on multicultural counseling/therapy or multicultural mental health issues have almost universally felt both positive and negative feelings that affect their ability to learn about diversity issues. It is important not to allow those emotions to go unacknowledged, or to avoid exploring the psychological meanings they may have for you. As you begin your journey to becoming a culturally competent counselor/mental health professional, the road will be filled with obstacles to self-exploration, to understanding yourself as a racial/cultural being, and to understanding the worldview of those who differ from you in race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other sociodemographic characteristics.
The subject matter in this book and course requires you to explore your biases and prejudices, a task that often evokes defensiveness and resistance. It is important to recognize personal resistance to the material, to explore its meanings, and to learn about yourself and others. Sometimes what is revealed about you may prove disturbing, but having the courage to continue is necessary to becoming a culturally competent counselor or therapist. This chapter is specifically written to help readers understand and overcome their emotive reactions to the substance of the text, and the course you are about to take. Let us begin by sharing reactions from four past students to reading Counseling the Culturally Diverse and discuss their meaning for the students, and the implications for mental health practice.

PART 1: PERSONAL REFLECTION
TOPIC: What is one problem, issue, or need in the world, or in your own community, that you care a lot about?
Racism is one of the biggest issues in the world, and a lot of countries are suffering from it. The issue is not new, and we can see the old history even back in the 13th century. The classification on the basis of racism is always offending. The people are made by the same Lord, they have the same organs even their color and creed are not responsible for the abilities and talents they have, but still, the world has observed a lot of differentiation among the people. The problem is prominent in the United States of America, where more than half of the population nearly 54% say that race relations have made things worse. The differentiation between white and black have led the communities to be made, and it creates an atmosphere of hate among the people. Back in the 13th century, an amendment was made in the constitution, and it stated that there will be no slavery from onwards. There were a lot of mixed reviews on the amendment because it was terrible for some communities to accept that black people will now be equal to them. If we see the circumstances in the world, we will come to know that there is an extreme need to eradicate the concept of racism from the world. Black people should be accepted and should be given their rights. There are a lot of heroes who have laid down their lives in the struggle to see equality in different races. The differentiation is not only made by the Americans, but it has been seen in many other countries where the poor and lower casts are looked upon by others. The world needs to understand that everyone is important, everyone is equal, and all of us got equal chances to make the progress and to move ahead in life.
This issue is important to me because being the student and being the responsible citizen, it is my part of my duty that I must remind the people that every one of you is important, and the concept of racism has got no value now. There is a lot of struggle needed to make it understand and to make it realize to everyone that racism should be ended. It is destroying beautiful relationships and friendships. The world is a place of peace, and it should be made peaceful for everyone instead of promoting racism.
PERSONAL CONNECTION: Why is this particular issue important to you? Is there something in your life experience or academic studies that relates?
This issue is important to me because being the student and being the responsible citizen, it is my part of my duty that I must remind the people that every one of you is important, and the concept of racism has got .
Final Project Cultural ImmersionCultural Competence is an ess.docxAKHIL969626
Final Project: Cultural Immersion
Cultural Competence is an essential aspect of counselor training. In order to begin to understand a culture, it is essential to have sustained interaction with the culture. For the final project for this course, each student will be responsible for actively investigating multicultural issues in the “real world,” by gradually immersing in a culture different from their own. The immersion project will involve experiential learning about other cultures. The intent is to increase your knowledge and sensitivity to other cultures.
In order to complete this project successfully, you will need to work on it throughout the entire course. As part of the project, each of you will select a culture different from your own and participate in at least three distinct cultural immersion experiences/observations within that culture. The idea is to gradually immerse into the different culture over the course of the term. You may use the list of suggestions below to guide your immersion process or you can devise some ideas of your own. It is essential that each experience is qualitatively different from that of your own culture and that the experiences gradually become more involved directly with the culture of choice.
1. The activities you select must include active involvement in the culture/activity. In other words, you may “observe” the culture but you may not limit the activity to passive observation. Make sure that each activity involves interaction with members of the culture, either through active participation in the activity itself or through conversations with members of the culture. Of course your third activity, the personal dialogue, already requires your active participation.
2. Submit a written narrative of your immersion activities. The paper will be 8-10 pages long (typed, double-spaced, 12 point font), This paper must include the following elements:
· Identification and Description of Population: This section must clearly identify the population you will be studying, how this population is different from you, and what your perceptions of this group are at this point in life. The description of differences should include both the obvious (visible differences, etc.) and the not so obvious (religious beliefs, sexual orientation, etc.). Please state all the differences you can identify. Your perceptions of this group should include information such as what you were told about this group as you were growing up, any beliefs/perceptions/assumptions you have about this group, what your sources of information about this group have been in the past, and why you have an interest in this group. In this section, you must make a case for how this person is different from you and why this experience will be challenging for you.
· Observation: You will need to complete at least three observational activities of the group you have chosen to study. Examples and suggestions of observational activities are listed below. If y ...
Racial Discrimination in an Intercultural Community Haochuan Tang.docxaudeleypearl
Racial Discrimination in an Intercultural Community: Haochuan Tang, Bohao Cui, Hyejoo Lee
Summary:How racial discrimination has an affect in a community. Racially charged actions can affect education, opportunities, and others political affiliations. Profiling and prejudices can stem from stereotypes and the majority group creating a hierarchy.
Things I liked: I think by creating sections for the paper allowed it to flow better. It allowed the reading to know exactly what they are going to be reading. Since you broke the paper into sections maybe add exactly what ethnic groups you will be discussing in the paper so it gives the reader more of a sense of what groups you will be talking about further along. Tell us who the discriminators are and who the discriminated are.
Constructive Criticism: Be careful to simple typos. There were some small mechanical errors throughout the paper that needs to be fixed. Make sure not to repeat the same descriptive words in the same sentence. I’ve noticed throughout the paper “it should be noted” has been used a lot. Also, make sure the transition between sections flow well. Even though sections are broken into different parts, it still needs to be one concise paper. By aware of run on sentences as well. I saw a couple throughout the paper.
Grade: 80/100 – I found that there were multiple mechanical errors throughout the paper. The paper was clear, however I think if you were to talk about a specific group of people it would strengthen the paper. As of right now, the paper of too broad. Make it more specific and you will be good to go. Also, try not to use the exact same wording Dr. Peterson used for your section titles.

Assignment 3: Views on Diversity
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.
To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an
Informed Consent
document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment.
Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
Show indifference to cultural differences.
Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?
Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:
What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.
Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions?

I attached my info along with my discussion question from module 1 aeve2xjazwa
I attached my info along with my discussion question from module 1 at the bottom.
In this assignment, you will be asked to write a 2-page paper outlining how you define yourself culturally. If you recall from Module 1, you were asked to reflect on how the person you are today has been influenced by your group affiliations. You can include components of that discussion in this assignment although you will certainly need to substantially expand on what you wrote in Module 1. In fact, you will need to indicate your ethnicity, race, gender, religion, language, and age and discuss how each of these has contributed to who you are today. You will also need to think critically about which of these factors is the most important to you (i.e., on which factor do you base your decisions, values, and opinions?) and which is the least important to you. You will be asked to apply what you have learned so far (you can do this by incorporating content from scholarly sources) to what you write.
Tasks:
Write a 2-page paper outlining how you define yourself culturally. This can be an expansion of the discussion that you posted in Module 1 with content added from what you have learned in the course so far.
Indicate your ethnicity, race, gender, religion, language, and age and discuss how each of these has contributed to who you are today. You may discuss these in terms of where you are at present (e.g., what religion you currently follow), and, if you wish, you can include information from when you were younger (e.g., what religion you were raised with).
Explain which of these factors is the most important and which is the least important to you and share why you believe this to be the case. My info below:

Module 1 Discussion post below:
As far as cultural identity is concerned, I do not believe that I would be the great person I am today. In other words, group affiliation has had a significant influence in my life. For example, my ethnic community believes that customs, traditions, values, religion, language and norms are all part of culture and that they all should be recognized and respected. Similarly, it also believes in cultural diversity. By holding on to this culture, I have been able to maintain an open mind as far as cultural diversity is concerned.For this reason, I have been able to interact well with people affiliated to different groups. This has enabled me to avoid discrimination based on cultural diversity. From my own perspective, I believe that recognizing and respecting both your group affiliation and others’ is the most important aspect in shaping a person’s life as far as group affiliation and cultural diversity are concerned.
If I were to be asked, ‘What are you?’ I would simply respond by saying that I am an African-American, a Muslim and a culturist. While responding to this question, of course, some factors of diversity would be incorporated outright, for example t ...

Topic 1
Staff Education
a. Create a lesson about cultural diversity in the workforce.
b. Explain how you would motivate your audience.
c. Discuss potential barriers to learning.
Reply to my peers
Peer 1
Cultural diversity in the workforce involves multilingual colleagues, gender, religion, age, ethnicity, etc. but the lesson plan that I would like to write about is involving colleagues that are multilingual. In today’s society and in our country; speaking more than one language is a great privilege, benefit, and provides many opportunities. It is estimated that over 50 million people speak Spanish either as their primary language or secondary here in the United States of America. As a changing demographic and workforce; it’s of importance to be culturally aware and culturally competent as nurses in our skills, abilities, and experiences. To start our lesson, I’d like to gather employees together and encourage to speak about is common and unique in their culture and welcome different ideas and viewpoints. Next, id like everyone to share a story of either of a time of how they felt respected (of their culture) or the opposite; a time they can share with us of a misjudgment, disrespectful, or treated inferiorly. After these questions and stories are shared; I would like to encourage them to use this a learning experience of each other and how to be mindful and apply this out in the real world. Whether one needs to dissect and identify and prejudice or concerns them have about themselves or how we can all improve and be better individuals by being more aware and cognizant of our surrounding, diversity, and be culturally competent nurses. Common potentials of barriers to learning are getting out of your comfort zone and possibly a negative past experience (that can be hard to overcome). ‘Feedback must be specific, not general. [Adults] must also see a reward for learning … [They] must be interested in the subject [matter]. Interest is directly related to reward. Adults must see the benefit of learning in order to motivate themselves to learn’ (Galbraith 1990: 25). (Falasca, 2011). To overcome barriers; the one leading the group must first assess and communicate effectively what these potential barriers are for each individual. Expecting these potential barriers is important step to move through them and be successful in the goal of the diversity topic of discussion and learning. To assess be see if learning took place and how well this group learning discussion was and how effective it was is to evaluate and have return feedback; either verbally or written down privately. Also, i.

PART 1: PERSONAL REFLECTION
TOPIC: What is one problem, issue, or need in the world, or in your own community, that you care a lot about?
Racism is one of the biggest issues in the world, and a lot of countries are suffering from it. The issue is not new, and we can see the old history even back in the 13th century. The classification on the basis of racism is always offending. The people are made by the same Lord, they have the same organs even their color and creed are not responsible for the abilities and talents they have, but still, the world has observed a lot of differentiation among the people. The problem is prominent in the United States of America, where more than half of the population nearly 54% say that race relations have made things worse. The differentiation between white and black have led the communities to be made, and it creates an atmosphere of hate among the people. Back in the 13th century, an amendment was made in the constitution, and it stated that there will be no slavery from onwards. There were a lot of mixed reviews on the amendment because it was terrible for some communities to accept that black people will now be equal to them. If we see the circumstances in the world, we will come to know that there is an extreme need to eradicate the concept of racism from the world. Black people should be accepted and should be given their rights. There are a lot of heroes who have laid down their lives in the struggle to see equality in different races. The differentiation is not only made by the Americans, but it has been seen in many other countries where the poor and lower casts are looked upon by others. The world needs to understand that everyone is important, everyone is equal, and all of us got equal chances to make the progress and to move ahead in life.
This issue is important to me because being the student and being the responsible citizen, it is my part of my duty that I must remind the people that every one of you is important, and the concept of racism has got no value now. There is a lot of struggle needed to make it understand and to make it realize to everyone that racism should be ended. It is destroying beautiful relationships and friendships. The world is a place of peace, and it should be made peaceful for everyone instead of promoting racism.
PERSONAL CONNECTION: Why is this particular issue important to you? Is there something in your life experience or academic studies that relates?
This issue is important to me because being the student and being the responsible citizen, it is my part of my duty that I must remind the people that every one of you is important, and the concept of racism has got .
Final Project Cultural ImmersionCultural Competence is an ess.docxAKHIL969626
Final Project: Cultural Immersion
Cultural Competence is an essential aspect of counselor training. In order to begin to understand a culture, it is essential to have sustained interaction with the culture. For the final project for this course, each student will be responsible for actively investigating multicultural issues in the “real world,” by gradually immersing in a culture different from their own. The immersion project will involve experiential learning about other cultures. The intent is to increase your knowledge and sensitivity to other cultures.
In order to complete this project successfully, you will need to work on it throughout the entire course. As part of the project, each of you will select a culture different from your own and participate in at least three distinct cultural immersion experiences/observations within that culture. The idea is to gradually immerse into the different culture over the course of the term. You may use the list of suggestions below to guide your immersion process or you can devise some ideas of your own. It is essential that each experience is qualitatively different from that of your own culture and that the experiences gradually become more involved directly with the culture of choice.
1. The activities you select must include active involvement in the culture/activity. In other words, you may “observe” the culture but you may not limit the activity to passive observation. Make sure that each activity involves interaction with members of the culture, either through active participation in the activity itself or through conversations with members of the culture. Of course your third activity, the personal dialogue, already requires your active participation.
2. Submit a written narrative of your immersion activities. The paper will be 8-10 pages long (typed, double-spaced, 12 point font), This paper must include the following elements:
· Identification and Description of Population: This section must clearly identify the population you will be studying, how this population is different from you, and what your perceptions of this group are at this point in life. The description of differences should include both the obvious (visible differences, etc.) and the not so obvious (religious beliefs, sexual orientation, etc.). Please state all the differences you can identify. Your perceptions of this group should include information such as what you were told about this group as you were growing up, any beliefs/perceptions/assumptions you have about this group, what your sources of information about this group have been in the past, and why you have an interest in this group. In this section, you must make a case for how this person is different from you and why this experience will be challenging for you.
· Observation: You will need to complete at least three observational activities of the group you have chosen to study. Examples and suggestions of observational activities are listed below. If y ...
Racial Discrimination in an Intercultural Community Haochuan Tang.docxaudeleypearl
Racial Discrimination in an Intercultural Community: Haochuan Tang, Bohao Cui, Hyejoo Lee
Summary:How racial discrimination has an affect in a community. Racially charged actions can affect education, opportunities, and others political affiliations. Profiling and prejudices can stem from stereotypes and the majority group creating a hierarchy.
Things I liked: I think by creating sections for the paper allowed it to flow better. It allowed the reading to know exactly what they are going to be reading. Since you broke the paper into sections maybe add exactly what ethnic groups you will be discussing in the paper so it gives the reader more of a sense of what groups you will be talking about further along. Tell us who the discriminators are and who the discriminated are.
Constructive Criticism: Be careful to simple typos. There were some small mechanical errors throughout the paper that needs to be fixed. Make sure not to repeat the same descriptive words in the same sentence. I’ve noticed throughout the paper “it should be noted” has been used a lot. Also, make sure the transition between sections flow well. Even though sections are broken into different parts, it still needs to be one concise paper. By aware of run on sentences as well. I saw a couple throughout the paper.
Grade: 80/100 – I found that there were multiple mechanical errors throughout the paper. The paper was clear, however I think if you were to talk about a specific group of people it would strengthen the paper. As of right now, the paper of too broad. Make it more specific and you will be good to go. Also, try not to use the exact same wording Dr. Peterson used for your section titles.

Assignment 3: Views on Diversity
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.
To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an
Informed Consent
document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment.
Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
Show indifference to cultural differences.
Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?
Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:
What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.
Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions?

Assignment 3 Views on Diversity FOR SOLUTIONS PRO.Pablo.docxastonrenna
Assignment 3: Views on Diversity
**FOR SOLUTIONS PRO.**
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.
To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an
Informed Consent
document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection,
you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment.
Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
Show indifference to cultural differences.
Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?
Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:
What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.
Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions?

I attached my info along with my discussion question from module 1 aeve2xjazwa
I attached my info along with my discussion question from module 1 at the bottom.
In this assignment, you will be asked to write a 2-page paper outlining how you define yourself culturally. If you recall from Module 1, you were asked to reflect on how the person you are today has been influenced by your group affiliations. You can include components of that discussion in this assignment although you will certainly need to substantially expand on what you wrote in Module 1. In fact, you will need to indicate your ethnicity, race, gender, religion, language, and age and discuss how each of these has contributed to who you are today. You will also need to think critically about which of these factors is the most important to you (i.e., on which factor do you base your decisions, values, and opinions?) and which is the least important to you. You will be asked to apply what you have learned so far (you can do this by incorporating content from scholarly sources) to what you write.
Tasks:
Write a 2-page paper outlining how you define yourself culturally. This can be an expansion of the discussion that you posted in Module 1 with content added from what you have learned in the course so far.
Indicate your ethnicity, race, gender, religion, language, and age and discuss how each of these has contributed to who you are today. You may discuss these in terms of where you are at present (e.g., what religion you currently follow), and, if you wish, you can include information from when you were younger (e.g., what religion you were raised with).
Explain which of these factors is the most important and which is the least important to you and share why you believe this to be the case. My info below:
*About Me

Module 1 Discussion post below:
As far as cultural identity is concerned, I do not believe that I would be the great person I am today. In other words, group affiliation has had a significant influence in my life. For example, my ethnic community believes that customs, traditions, values, religion, language and norms are all part of culture and that they all should be recognized and respected. Similarly, it also believes in cultural diversity. By holding on to this culture, I have been able to maintain an open mind as far as cultural diversity is concerned.For this reason, I have been able to interact well with people affiliated to different groups. This has enabled me to avoid discrimination based on cultural diversity. From my own perspective, I believe that recognizing and respecting both your group affiliation and others’ is the most important aspect in shaping a person’s life as far as group affiliation and cultural diversity are concerned.
If I were to be asked, ‘What are you?’ I would simply respond by saying that I am an African-American, a Muslim and a culturist. While responding to this question, of course, some factors of diversity would be incorporated outright, for example t ...

Topic 1
Staff Education
a. Create a lesson about cultural diversity in the workforce.
b. Explain how you would motivate your audience.
c. Discuss potential barriers to learning.
Reply to my peers
Peer 1
Cultural diversity in the workforce involves multilingual colleagues, gender, religion, age, ethnicity, etc. but the lesson plan that I would like to write about is involving colleagues that are multilingual. In today’s society and in our country; speaking more than one language is a great privilege, benefit, and provides many opportunities. It is estimated that over 50 million people speak Spanish either as their primary language or secondary here in the United States of America. As a changing demographic and workforce; it’s of importance to be culturally aware and culturally competent as nurses in our skills, abilities, and experiences. To start our lesson, I’d like to gather employees together and encourage to speak about is common and unique in their culture and welcome different ideas and viewpoints. Next, id like everyone to share a story of either of a time of how they felt respected (of their culture) or the opposite; a time they can share with us of a misjudgment, disrespectful, or treated inferiorly. After these questions and stories are shared; I would like to encourage them to use this a learning experience of each other and how to be mindful and apply this out in the real world. Whether one needs to dissect and identify and prejudice or concerns them have about themselves or how we can all improve and be better individuals by being more aware and cognizant of our surrounding, diversity, and be culturally competent nurses. Common potentials of barriers to learning are getting out of your comfort zone and possibly a negative past experience (that can be hard to overcome). ‘Feedback must be specific, not general. [Adults] must also see a reward for learning … [They] must be interested in the subject [matter]. Interest is directly related to reward. Adults must see the benefit of learning in order to motivate themselves to learn’ (Galbraith 1990: 25). (Falasca, 2011). To overcome barriers; the one leading the group must first assess and communicate effectively what these potential barriers are for each individual. Expecting these potential barriers is important step to move through them and be successful in the goal of the diversity topic of discussion and learning. To assess be see if learning took place and how well this group learning discussion was and how effective it was is to evaluate and have return feedback; either verbally or written down privately. Also, i.

The case chronicles Lasseter’s interests in animation from a young age, the relationship he developed with the Disney organization, his developing interest in computer-animation and consequent demise at Disney Studios, his subsequent award-winning success with computer animation at Pixar Studios, and his recent ascension to creative head of Disney’s Animation Studio as part of the Pixar-Disney merger.The case provides a marvelous illustration of the many types of interpersonal power ¾ reward, coercive, legitimate, referent, and expert that exist within an organization. The case also shows how power can be used to promote the well-being of the organization and its members or to benefit specific people’s interests at the expense of others’ interests. Herein, the two faces of power positive and negative come into play. Another linkage between the chapter material and the case occurs in the form of concerns about the ethical versus unethical use of power. Finally, the case can be used to explore the concepts of organizational politics and political behavior in organizations. Organizational politics often has a negative connotation, and some of the case facts lend themselves to reinforcing this negative connotation.Power and Politics in the Fall and Rise of John LasseterJohn Lasseter grew up in a family heavily involved in artistic expression. Lasseter was drawn to cartoons as a youngster. As a freshman in high school he read a book entitled The Art of Animation. The book, about the making of the Disney animated film Sleeping Beauty, proved to be a revelation for Lasseter. He discovered that people could earn a living by developing cartoons. He started writing letters to The Walt Disney Company Studios regarding his interest in creating cartoons. Studio representatives, who corresponded with Lasseter many times, told him to get a great art education, after which they would teach him animation.When Disney started a Character Animation Program at the California Institute of Arts film school, Lasseter enrolled in the program after encouragement from the studio. Classes were taught by extremely talented Disney animators who also shared stories about working with Walt Disney himself. During summer breaks, jobs at Disneyland further fueled Lasseter’s passion for working as an animator for Disney Studios. Full of excitement, Lasseter joined the Disney animation staff in 1979 after graduation. However, he soon met with disappointment.According to Lasseter, “[t]he animation studio wasn’t being run by these great Disney artists like our teachers at Cal Arts, but by lesser artists and businesspeople who rose through attrition as the grand old men retired.” Lasseter was told, “[y]ou put in your time for 20 years and do what you’r.

Leadership, ethics and organizational failure in a post-colonial context: a case study of genocide in Rwanda.
Introduction
Groups, teams and states are major characteristics of organizational life. It is believed that majority of the organization’s practices need a lot of coordination through working as a team and a group.The leadership of an organization is important in terms of the development of the goals and objectives. Leaders within an organization are responsible for developing the goals and objectives of the organization. In most cases, the success of an organization is usually attributed to the leaders of the organization. The genocide in Rwanda was instigated by the hostility between the Hutu and Tutsi as a result of polarization of the two ethnic groups by the colonial era. The colonization process favored one group over the other. It is believed that the leadership of Rwanda at the time played a major role. Leadership in every country plays a major role in the unity of the nation and in fostering peace and co-existence between different ethnic groups. Therefore the leadership of Rwanda at the time failed to quell the existence of animosity between the Hutu and the Tutsi leading to the experience of genocide that led to mass killings. The paper aims at discussing leadership, ethics and organizational failure in a post-colonial context with a case study of genocide in Rwanda. Main emphasis is laid on organizational failure that instigated the genocide and in particular the correlation between the key leaders and geo-political relations (Scott, 1998).
Leadership traits and concepts
Leadership is considered as the ability to influence the followers towards the achievement of set goals and objectives. Leadership is closely related to management which is aimed at ensuring compliance from the organizational members. The trait theory of leadership is important in terms of defining leadership. The characteristics of the leader can be used for the determination of their leadership styles. According to the behavioral theories of leadership, the specific behaviors of the leaders differentiate the leaders from the non leaders. According to the traits theory of leadership, social, physical, personality or intellectual traits can be used for the purpose of differentiating the leaders from the non leaders. According to the theory, the leader is also supposed to be qualified and open. The contingency theory on the other hand analyzes the environment in which the leader operates. Situational leadership theory examines the ability of the followers to readily accept the instructions of the leaders. There are also various styles of leadership and it plays an important role in determining the potential of the leaders. The charismatic leaders usually portray unconventional behaviors and usually understand. On the other.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Comments:
Carl, you’ve done a very good job on your first journal entry
and your application of the concepts of “machismo” and
objectivity. See my comment on the definition of minority. Are
Hispanics considered a minority only due to their
numbers? Other relevant concepts that might apply to what
you’ve written here might be symbolic interaction and cultural
differentiation.
You needed to apply two theories this week. You might have
used social identity theory to explain your feeling of comfort
2. around those like you in terms of the ethnicity and social status.
You might also have used Interactionist theory to explain the
process of cultural transmission of Hispanic norms and values,
especially those that apply to Hispanic males as well as to
explain why skin color may be significant in the U.S. while it is
not as significant in Latin American countries. Interactionists
would also suggest that taking one’s time may be interpreted as
being lazy in the US and this might result in conflict. Our
culture shapes our perceptions and in turn, this influences how
we react to those who are not like us in certain respects. Your
APA format is very good overall. If the information cited is
quoted material, then you also need to include the page number
on which the quoted material is located.
As noted in the instructions, these journals are “practice” for
the paper. They are meant to help you in applying concepts and
theory, so be sure to follow my comments and the feedback I
give you each week. Review the rubric below to see where you
need to concentrate on improving your entries. If you do not
understand something, please contact me. Thanks! Instructor

The ethnic group with which I feel I can identify in terms of
belonging to this group is Hispanic. I would consider this group
to be a minority group and so does society. Although Hispanics
have grown significantly in numbers throughout the United
States their numbers as far as population goes are still low in
comparison to others in the United States[k1] . Hispanics have
grown to be the largest minority group in the United States
(Parrillo, 2011). Being Hispanic to me is very important. It
signifies who I am and what I am about. One thing that makes
this identity important to me is its male image[k2] . Hispanic
males are raised to be good providers for family, be the strength
in face of adversity, be reliable, independent, and to protect the
families honor at all times (Parrillo, 2011).
“In most Latin American cultures skin color is less
important than social class as an indicator of social status”
(Parrillo, 2011, p[k3] . #). This view helps me to identify with
3. society in a viewpoint that the person’s quality is what makes
the difference and not where they are from or what color they
may or may not be. Another thing that has shaped my view of
the world is that I was brought up in the mentality that when
you take your time things will get done right. Hispanics have a
more casual attitude than others in the United States when it
comes to rushing and believe that it robs one of dignity
(Parrillo, 2011[k4] ).
It’s hard to say I can be objective about minority-
majority issues given my Hispanic background and upbringing.
I try to be as objective as I can but I think this has to do with
one’s level of education more than anything. It is my belief that
in any given culture or ethnic group that the most there are
those with a lesser degree of education who are severely
subjective about minority-majority issues due to their lack of
education about others.

Comments:
Carl, you’ve done a very good job here of tying the research
you used to your example of discrimination. Another major
point made by the research that you might consider bringing out
in your core assessment is the idea that non-white
characteristics are usually defined as “deviant.” Deviance itself
is a social construction as explained using interactionist theory
and the labeling perspective. This would tie your research to a
specific theory. See my note on the prejudice you noted. A
specific example would have clarified this. Remember to
include the page number in your in-text citation when you are

5. I feel my group identity has an influence on my day to day
interaction with others. I have been raised to respect my elders
no matter if they are wrong or right. I treat others with the
respect I deserve to be treated with. My experiences helping
others each day is a strong influence from my Latino
upbringing. I strive to help whoever I can in whichever way
possible. The “never let anything stop you” cultural upbringing
that I have does not leave room for me to not be able to help
with something. If there is desire, there will always be a way to
do things. That’s[k1] the way I see it and the way I was raised.
A prejudice I have is towards cultures who allow their children
to crash so to say in an “effort” to let them become mature[k2] ,
and adults on their own. I do act discriminatory at times
towards cultures like this because it goes against everything I
was raised and brought up on.
I have been discriminated against for being Hispanic by
people saying I can’t do things on my own, and that I would
always live in poverty like my ancestors before me. My
classmates in school would say derogatory statements about my
ethnicity saying I was a dirty field worker and there was no
need for me to be in school. I was told I was wasting valuable
classroom space and should go cut sugarcane and make them
drinks because they where thirsty. “By assigning expectation
states to status characteristics, one can observe the
differentiation of social relations into positive or negative
events” (Aguirre, 2004, p. 932[k3] ). School became
increasingly difficult to deal with because the other cultures and
ethnicities did not always treat me with the respect I deserved. I
kept my head held high as I was raised to do and kept pushing
forward.

[k2]This needs further clarification. What is meant by “crash”?
Do you mean that the parents believe it is appropriate to allow

Comments:
Carl, you’ve done a good job applying theory and concepts this
week. Interactionist theory is a good theory to use when you
want to discuss how perceptions and socialization to cultural
norms and values can affect intergroup relations. Interactionist
theory would also be a good theory to explain how different
Cuban immigrants were perceived, depending upon the time
period and the circumstances of their immigration. Cubans who
came during the time Castro took power in Cuba are often
viewed much differently than those who came in the 1980s.
Good APA format this week as well. Thanks and keep up the
My grandmother on my mother’s side came to the United States
from Cuba in 1967 when my mother was only five months old.
Poverty was amongst them, in the town where they lived, and
my grandfather who was the breadwinner, passed away. There
were scarce opportunities to make money that would support my
family so my grandmother fought hard and alone against all
odds to come to the United States. The United States has always
been a land of opportunity and endless possibilities. Many
Cubans knew this and this part of why my family moved here.
After the long hard battle was over and my grandmother
arrived in the United States, things where difficult for her since
8. she did not know English. Luckily she quickly moved to
Hialeah Florida where there was a heavy Latino and minority
presence which quickly helped her to get on her feet. [k1] Even
though everyone was not Hispanic or even spoke Spanish in that
neighborhood everyone blended in and had a sense of
understanding, a common purpose and expression. The
interactionist theory examines the shared interpretations and
interaction patterns of everyday life (Parrillo, 2011 pg. 19). It
doesn’t take everyone speaking the same language or even being
from the same place to understand each other and interact[k2] .
Other than the language barrier, which made it difficult to get
certain things done, my ancestors quickly applied what they
were raised on and did not let anything stop them from living
the American Dream and providing a safe, stable, healthy
environment for themselves[k3] . Avoidance, a minority group
response to prejudice and discrimination became common
amongst many of my ancestors to those who would make things
difficult for them by insulting them and their culture (Parrillo.
2011 pg.71). My ancestors where often made fun of and where
talked down to when they first came to this country. It was a
form of self-justification in which people are denigrated in an
effort to justify their maltreatment (Parrillo, 2011 pg. 47).
A major historical event that basically made my family
need to move to the United States was Fidel Castro going into
power. My grandmother talks about it almost every day. She
says once he took over he promised the world and delivered to a
very scare percentage and robbed everyone else from the daily
necessities they needed to live on a day to day basis. A major
historical event which allowed more family to come to the
United States from Cuba and help my grandmother as well as
save themselves from a falling country and economy was the
Mariel boat lift which allowed Cubans to freely leave Cuba in
1980. Even though my ancestors suffered much prejudice in
thinking they were less than they were and lower class people
before even getting to know them, they lived with their heads
9. held high. This is a tradition I hope to carry on in my family till
the end of time.

[k1]This might be an example of “chain migration.”
[k2]That is true, but your grandmother obviously went where
she knew she would be able to speak Spanish and where she felt
more comfortable. Interactionists suggest that when a group
shares a similar history, they also share similar symbols that
allow them to communicate easily. Likewise, if they do not
share a similar history, it may be more difficult for them to
communicate.
[k3]Something I’ve noticed in your postings and entries is that
you seem to gloss over the challenges faced or the conflicts that
could and do occur. Acknowledging these things doesn’t mean
that individuals have to give in to them or that they will not
achieve their American Dream. When you do not acknowledge
these issues as legitimate issues to be confronted, your
statements can appear contradictory. For example, you are
trying to apply Interactionist theory but instead of pointing out
how differences can create conflict, you are trying to say they
make no difference and that everyone in your grandmother’s
neighborhood got along great, regardless of race/ethnicity or the
language they spoke. Then later you point out that language
barriers made it difficult to get some things done. This appears
contradictory to the reader.

Religion has played a major role in the life of my ancestors.
Most Cubans in Cuba are Hispanic and come to the United
States with the mentality of those around them share similar
beliefs and religious views. When moving to the United States
they had to deal with others of different religions questioning
their beliefs. Religion also plays a role in my life. Although
11. while it can be scary to think someone is always watching over
you, it often serves to keep you in the right direction when you
may be falling off track. Religion has helped me treat others
respectfully and has been a foundation of my upbringing and a
major reason I am the way I am to this very day.
Embracement of religion and acceptance of God or any
other higher being in your religion is an essential step in being
accepted by others of your ethnic group. Catholics have big
parties and celebrations once members of their youth complete
their communion. Becoming close to one’s religion is becoming
close to their family. Religion brings people together and has
brought my ancestors together for years. No matter what may be
going on there will always be a common belief in a greater good
that brings people together for a common good. Religion is very
close to culture and ethnicity. “Sometimes it is very difficult to
work out where a religious identity ends and a cultural identity
begins” (Michell, 2006, p[k1] . #).
Over time other ethnic groups have shared and
expressed their religious views and ideas in various ways. Over
time ones religion tends to shape throughout the decades. New
testaments and beliefs are created based on a religion’s
experiences and beliefs. Even if with time one tends not to be
such engaged in the church and or religion is still forever apart
of them and who they are. “Whilst the individual’s relationship
with religious beliefs may be ambiguous, beliefs are clearly still
a factor in their social relationships” (Michell[k2] , 2006). From
the days my ancestors came to the United States till now I
believe our religious beliefs as a family have changed quite a
bit. Experiences change people.

Letter Grade:
· What specific strategies were used by your identity group in
its attempt to establish itself in American society?
· How would you characterize these according to the response
patterns presented in Parrillo (2011) Chapter 4 and to the
coping strategies outlined by Michael LeMay (Week 2 Lecture)?
· What course concepts and theories do you feel are most
relevant in explaining the experience of your identity group?
Why?
· Were the response patterns and strategies used by your
ancestors similar or different from those identified by social
theorists for your identity group?
· How successful do you believe these response patterns and
strategies have been in accomplishing group goals?
Comments:
Carl, you are on the right track here in terms of pointing out
behavior that links to the response patterns in your text. I would
agree that acceptance is a response pattern practice by
Hispanics and has been from the beginning of their immigration.
See my comments on other response patterns and on LeMay’s
13. Model and how they might be applied. *You needed to apply
LeMay’s Model in this entry, along with an additional theory.
In establishing themselves in the United States, Hispanics have
gone through many trials and tribulations. My ancestors got
jobs in factories and crop fields where they received low pay.
This was not much, but it served enough to put food on the table
and take care of their own. Through the years they worked their
way up in factories taking on tougher challenges proving that
they could do more. Doing so slowly established a positive
identity for them in society and they were less looked down
upon and more respected. In coping with the typical response
patterns presented in Parrillo (2011) acceptance had to be one
of the first responses from Hispanics establishing themselves in
the United States (Parrillo, 2011). Acceptance of a minority
status and being less than an American needed to be the way
they took things in order to get ahead in life. They simply could
not let being a minority and being put down stop them from
their dream of success for them and their family[k1] .
The responses used by ancestors were very similar to those
identified by social theorists for my identity group. Prejudice is
a concept that is very relevant to the identity of my group.
There are those who think of Hispanics as nothing but field and
factory workers good for manual labor and not much more. I
believe that my ancestors did what they had to do in terms of
laying low and not creating a big disturbance at first when they
were put down. They knew who they were and what they were
about and fought hard to make in somewhere in the work place
before coming out more aggressively towards equality.
Discrimination has affected my ancestors tremendously and the
Hispanic ethnicity. A head held high and a continued show of a
positive attitude, continued education, and dedication will
provide for the biggest step to overcome discrimination and
head towards a more equal form of society[k2] .
14. Reference:
Parrillo, V. N. (2011). Strangers to these shores. (10th ed.).
Boston, MA: Allyn & Bacon
[k1]This is a good application of the minority response pattern
of acceptance. Keep in mind that not all members of a group
will utilize the same strategies and may try different strategies,
depending on the time period and circumstances. One might also
apply the response pattern of defiance or deviance as some
choose to ignore immigration law to come here illegally and
still do today. Deviance can also be seen in gang membership
and activity.
What coping strategy identified by LeMay would you say is
reflected in the overall Hispanic experience? Economic
accommodation is definitely a strategy as Hispanics/Latinos
have been recruited for labor in the United States. The Chicano
Movement would be an example of New Style Radicalism.
Separatism is also a coping strategy that has been used by
Hispanic/Latino Americans.
[k2]This would represent a functionalist view of
Hispanic/Latino assimilation. That is one theory you might have
used here in addition to an application of LeMay’s Model.

· Do you feel your group identity provides you with either
advantages or disadvantages or some of both? Why?
· How do you feel these advantages/disadvantages compare with
others of your identity group and with members of other
identity groups in terms of life chances?
15. · Do you feel the response patterns and coping strategies used
by your identity group have played a role in your own life
chances? Why or why not? Have you as an individual followed
the same strategies or different ones?
· Are there more effective strategies you believe might have
been used by your identity group? If so, what are they? What
