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 ...

Essay # 4: Gender Longitudes and Attitudes
Choose an artifact or an image that you think represents and reinforces or challenges and undermines gender stereotypes and codes of behavior in another culture. In selecting your subject and thinking about how it conforms to or goes against gender codes, try using the following guidelines and questions:
1. For images: Look in magazines, your personal or family photos, in textbooks or children’s books--for scenes that you think present something about what men and women should look like and how they should behave. Find evidence that the way genders are presented is not onlyin the United States.
If you are looking at a picture or ad: Try not to look at the advertising aspect of the ad to make money—rather, look at the picture and dissect it in regard to how the genders are portrayed—and what message that sends. These elements are your evidence.
1. What is the sex of the model(s)? Why did this designer choose to use these models?
2. What do their bodies look like? Why? Where did you find the photo?
3. How are they dressed? Why?
4. What colors are used? How are these colors associated with our stereotypes of men and
women?
5. What props are used (elements in the ad/photo to “set the scene”)? How do these props conform to or go against gender stereotypes for men and women?
6. What does the combination of these details say about what men/women are like and how they should behave?
2. For artifacts: look for or think about objects/clothing that seem to be designed with a particular gender in mind. An artifact can be anything: a piece of clothing, a purse, or a toy. (Please do not pick obvious items such as baby dolls, easy-bake ovens, footballs, cars etc. unless you have an interesting angle. Please check with me first if you are unsure about your topic.)
1. Where did you find the object? (Always consider what the source is or when you find information).
2. What is the intended use of the item and whom is it designed for? How do you know this?
3. What color is the object? What does that indicate about the intended audience?
4. What material is it made from? Why might a man or woman respond to this material? If it is a Tierra for example: What does that say about our culture--or
all cultures that may use this item? What about high heels? What do they generally represent? What have they represented in the past—and in other countries in regard to gender. What about purses? Or a veil? How is a veil used in marriage and/or in religion? What does it represent? What about mini skirts, corset, or mirrors etc?
5. Why might the intended audience need or want to have this object?
6. What is the size and shape of the item? How is this related to stereotypical ideas about gender attitudes and behavior?
7. What does the combination of these details (of appearance and purpose) tell us about how a particular society believes men and women should think and behave? You may dis ...

More Than a Profile: The Ethics of Digital Storytelling in Study AbroadCIEE
Students post, tweet, and blog about their experiences overseas, and these narratives contribute to the growing popularity of study abroad. We must reinvent our pedagogy to adapt to this changing world and examine the stories that inspire student travel. How might they collide with the expectation of health equity and sustainable service? How can we promote self-reflection and cultural humility? An interdisciplinary panel – representing film studies, anthropology, and public health – will place the current debate in the context of postcolonial narratives, describe the potential for self-reflection, and offer a sample technique for using digital storytelling in trip preparation and in-class learning.

Unit 1 Module 1 - M1 Assignment 3Assignment 3 Views on Diver.docxTakishaPeck109
Unit 1: Module 1 - M1 Assignment 3
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?

This is a brief overview on how to complete the Cultural Field.docxchristalgrieg
This is a brief overview on how to complete the Cultural Fieldtrip assignment.
The first thing you need to do is choose your cultural group.
Take a look around you... are you a member of any club, organization, sports team, etc.
If you are, you may want to choose a group you're a member of to focus on. While this is an option, group
membership is not required. Feel free to look beyond your current culture groups.
------------
Have you noticed groups around you that you don’t belong to, but see definite membership aspects in their
structure? You may want to take a closer look at one of these cultural groups as the focus of your assignment.
----------------
Just by enrolling in this class, you are a member of the following cultures:
CSS
College student
Distance education student
Internet user
CTA 1101 classmate
Chosen Major/Minor
Graduating class of 20_ _, and more!
--------------
What I'm asking you to do is look for evidence of culture in your everyday life using the guidelines I’ve listed in
the assignment. By answering question #3 letters A-F on the assignment overview, you will create a profile of
this group.
As you construct your report, take a moment to consider what makes this group unique. What are shared
values, beliefs, language, and behavior? Is there a specific style of dress? Are there requirements to gain
membership? Does gender play a role?
------------
Here is an example of breaking down a cultural group you may encounter in your everyday life:
For instance, if you go to a coffee shop, you will notice that Starbucks has a culture.
For the most part, its members are those who like coffee. Gender does not determine membership.
You can gain membership into this group by frequenting a Starbucks.
There is evidence of an intercultural language. When ordering, you may say (Half-Caff, Latte, Make it Skinny,
Double-shot, Straight up, etc.), these words have shared meaning in this culture.
One cultural practice of this group is writing customer names on their cup.
As a member, you recognize this cultural group by their branding practices; employees wear green aprons,
there is signage in and outside the store.
The Starbucks logo is unique; it is iconic in our larger culture. That logo on purchases denotes your
membership in this group to others.
One thing that makes this culture unique is that its members all enjoy consuming coffee products.
There is evidence of culture everywhere. I want you to be cognizant of it; see culture as more than ethnicity,
country of origin, etc.
Take a closer look... have fun... be creative.

By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
