This document discusses the concepts of race and ethnicity. It notes that race and ethnicity are often used imprecisely in everyday language. Biologically, race cannot be clearly defined due to the continuous nature of genetic traits and high intra-group variation. Ethnicity is defined by shared ancestry, language, history, religion, culture and sense of linked fate. The document also mentions stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination and racism in relation to race and ethnicity and presents the views of biological determinism and social constructivism.
Memoryscapes, Archaeology, and the River Street Neighborhood, Boise, IdahoRiverStreetHistory
Prior to the Civil Rights movement, most cities in the United States had at least one racially segregated neighborhood--a place where the "others" lived. This was typically a geographic location designated by the Euroamerican community as the area non-Euroamericans could reside. In Boise, Idaho, non-Euroamericans lived in the River Street Neighborhood, a place where African Americans, Basque, Japanese, and Eastern Europeans established homes and businesses. While the boundaries of this neighborhood were known by all residents, they were never formally demarcated on the map. River Street existed as a segregated enclave in the memoryscapes of historical Boiseans of all races. Oral history interviews conducted in advance of an upcoming community archaeology project revealed the boundaries of the River Street Neighborhood as remembered by African American residents. The multi-disciplinary concept of memoryscapes was applied in order to provide an ‘emic’ perspective of the role the neighborhood played in the creation of whiteness for Boise’s Euroamericans.

What is the difference between race and ethnicity? ( my race is yellow)
What is YOUR race? What is YOUR ethnicity? What does your race and/or ethnicity mean to you, if anything?
How can we simultaneously say that race "isnt' real" and race is "important" (how/why is it important)? HINT: the sociological perspective/definition of race that challenges the notion of biology.
How does race continue to be "important" in today's cultural, political and economic landscape?
What is the difference between prejudice and discrimination?
repond no,1
Race refers to a combination of physical and behavioral attributes that are used to group humans into distinct categories in society. The race is often associated with biology and linked with physical characteristics like hair texture and skin color. The race is believed to reflect a biological foundation, generate distinct racial groups, and the biological foundation is inherent among generations. Members of race are believed to share a set of biological characteristics which are not visible in members of other races. This biological foundation of race manifests itself fundamentally through physical phenotypes. Ethnicity, on the other hand, refers to a categorization of people who identify with each other based on shared attributes which distinguish them from other groups.
My race is Asian and my ethnicity is Han Chinese. My race and ethnicity mean so much to me since they play a huge role in my growth of a strong and stable sense of self. My race and ethnicity help in shaping how I see myself and help me understand how others see me. My ethnicity instills in me the idea of belonging to a certain cultural group and how I share various elements such as language, place of origin, or religion. My race and ethnicity help me to understand how I relate to certain social, historical, and geographic contexts. The identity of my race and ethnicity helps me in understanding that of others and appreciating the differences in our races and ethnicities. My race and ethnicity also help in self-exploration.
There are various reasons in which the argument that 'race is not real' can be justified. For example, one cannot tell the correct race of another person by simply looking at them. Racial lines have been blurred to invisibility in an entire community in extreme cases and it is common to find people who might look one way but identify in another hence making it difficult to place them in a racial category. The race continues to be important but in a negative way in the economic landscape by being a leading source of economic inequality followed by gender. People of certain races such as Black and Latina have the highest number of less-desirable jobs, higher poverty rates, lower earnings, among others. The race is being used as a tool for discrimination in the economic sphere and is the main cause of the economic disparity among various groups of people. The race ...

national culture?

1. What is culture?
Read the following descriptions of national values
for China, India, Britain
•What do these descriptions tell us about the nature of
culture?
i.e. what kinds of things do we call ‘culture’?
• How long might it take an outsider to understand these
values?
So what is the nature of culture?
“a complex frame of reference that consists of patterns of traditions,
beliefs, values, norms, symbols, and meanings that are shared to varying
degrees by interacting members of a community”
(Ting-Toomey, 1999, p.10)
traditions rituals, ceremonies, rites of passage
beliefs, values, norms underlying principles governing behaviours
symbols language (verbal, non-verbal) also images
meanings Interpretations of symbols held by members
‘shared to varying degrees’ not every single member of the culture to the same degree!
‘a frame of reference’ for making sense of the world
Culture is socially constructed; a basis for shared, collective identities
What are the key
words to highlight
in this definition?
Another definition
“the coherent, learned, shared view of a group of people about life’s
concerns that ranks what is important, furnishes attitudes about what
things are appropriate, and dictates behaviour”
(Varner & Beamer, 2011, p.5)
coherent an entire, consistent world view
learned we are not born with it; culture is transmitted
view of a group agreed, shared views of a society
What are the key
words to highlight

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.
