During a Privilege Walk exercise in class, Kayla Dickson felt confused by questions about her personal background and upbringing. She realized some classmates did not have as supportive a home environment as she did, and was hurt that the questions focused on attributes outside of her control like race, gender and family background rather than her character. While the exercise highlighted greater challenges faced by others, Kayla believes people should be judged based on their own actions and merits rather than circumstances beyond their control.

Bob’s Story
The Good Christian Son
In Bob’s story, we read about how he views himself in terms of his cultural identity and the shifts that occurred in his religious life as a result of family relationships, his move from the South to the Northeast, and his rethinking about his role in society and in his family. He also talks about what influenced his first career choice as a minister in an Evangelical Christian church and what accounted for the choice of his second career as a teacher. As you read, pay attention to his shifts in personality traits and in his understanding of his religious affiliation and other shifts in his cultural identity.
Bob’s Story
I must admit from the outset that I was somewhat surprised that someone would even be interested in my story. What I mean by that is, when it comes to culture, I have often thought that my life was somewhat void of it. I’m just another White guy with a job, two children, and a wife. I have nothing special to offer in the way of a story, right? Upon further reflection however, I have come to realize that one’s cultural heritage is not about being impressive or unique. Rather, each person’s history is more significant than he or she could ever imagine—at least to them and those with whom they come in contact. So what follows is a sort of snapshot of my life from a cultural and especially spiritual identity standpoint.
I was born in south central Kentucky in a town that had no hospital. My mother and father had to travel several miles to access the needed medical assistance for my birth. This was not seen as a hardship or even an inconvenience, just how things were. My mother was the daughter of a farmer and a homemaker. She was the youngest of 10 children, 7 daughters and 3 sons. My father was from another town in Kentucky. His father was a professional in the trucking industry, and his mother taught music. My father met my mother while he was a college student in music education. He was also the music director of the small rural Southern Baptist church where my mother was a member. My mother’s ethnic background was Scottish and Welsh. Her maiden name reflects that heritage. My father’s ethnic heritage was Dutch and English. I cannot say that these historical roots made any significant contributions to my cultural heritage. Both of my parents seemed to prefer the notion that they were “American,” and that was all that was necessary to them.
In the region of Kentucky I grew up in, people.

Descriptive Essay About Ethnicity
This document describes the author's experience growing up as part of an ethnic minority and being bullied for their appearance. As a child, the author felt different and bullied for their Mexican name, looks, and clothes. They believed it was because of their ethnicity. One classmate nicknamed them "Big Bird" because of their nose, making them feel ugly and insecure about their ethnicity. The author reflects on how ethnicity and race can impact one's experiences and perspectives.
Race questions
My neighborhood was racially diverse, including Caucasian, African American, Greek, and Pakistani people. From a young age, my family and friends taught me that all people should be treated equally, as I would want to be treated. While race has shaped how I view people as equals, it has taught me to consider others' perspectives and treat all people with equal respect.
FYS Privilege Walk
The student participated in a privilege walk activity for class where students lined up and took steps forward or backward based on their answers to questions about their personal backgrounds and experiences with discrimination. Questions about lacking access to food or experiencing discrimination due to gender, race, or other attributes caused some students to take steps backward. At the end, the instructor pointed out that Caucasian students tended to be closer to the "success" line, highlighting the effects of less discrimination faced by white students. This experience opened the student's eyes to the discrimination faced by others and made them want to work against discrimination of any kind.

· How you identify yourself when reflecting on your cultural heritage, age, religious affiliation, socioeconomic status, and so forth.
Mexican/American, age 42, Christian, Married, Military Family Oriented, HIV Case Management, Attending School Masters, C.A.S.A Volunteer.
· Your background and identification of family of origin
Grandparents from Sinaloa Mexico, Parents born in the United Stated,
· The values, beliefs, philosophies, attitudes, or opinions you hold that are similar to your family: Are they similar to the dominant culture? How and from whom did you learn them?
My values are different from my grandmother who raised me. I had to look at things different from her point of view as I got older and had more life experiences. Yet I still go back to my grandmother’s memories and lessons that she left behind. My attitude can be strong coming from the only child in the home raised by a hard working grandmother and I became self- independent at the age of 14 working as a babysitter and being responsible helping my grandmother pay the electric bill with every paycheck I got. She taught me that school was the only way to make it in America and that I as a woman had to take advantage of school so I wouldn’t depend on anyone later on in life.
· Religious, gender, or cultural influences or hindrances that occurred when you decided to become a counselor: Was anyone opposed to or supportive of your decision? Why?.
I was raised as a Christian were we went to church 3 times a week, prayed at the dinner table, attended Sunday bible study and even went to a Christian High School for 2 years. Being raised by a strong Hispanic grandmother to her religious was everything it was a way to better living and peace within yourself and God. In her culture the lessons that were passed down to me were that you had to be respectful in order to get respect back and also when I got married it was my job to attend to my husband cooking, cleaning, ironing, kids, etc.
With my second marriage being married to Military it was different my grandmother had passed away and my ways had changed to be more open and realize that times had changed regarding the way I am raising my kids now and how my marriage is now. Being married to my husband and working with HIV patients pushed me to take this route and become a counselor and help people like our military family or our veterans, including active or non-active veterans with HIV since there is a higher HIV population in the service.
· Personal biases, limitations, or prejudices held that may hinder your effectiveness as a counselor
At this point I think I can do well in any settings as a counselor as long as I have the education that I will need to be educated in the field that I choose. Being open minded, understanding, having knowledge and looking at things in both ways will allow me to become a better counselor.
· Personal strengths or abilities possessed that may positively influence your effectiv.

Essay On Race And Ethnicity
Race and ethnicity is something that we all have to live with because we all have a race and ethnicity that claims us. Race and ethnicity was something discussed daily at my household because I was the only Hispanic at my school until the third grade. This was difficult because as a child it s hard to understand why my skin color, language, and ideals are different. I wouldn t have survived school without my parents and support from my instructors that allowed me to transition into the mainstream without a traumatic effect. Throughout the year my parents would take me to activities like Cinco De Mayo, Religious activities, Independence of Mexico, and other cultural events that celebrated our history and culture. This helped feed my love for my culture and ancestors. Race is usually determined by how one looks but your...show more content...Some of these differences include, dialects, accents, food, music, religion, lifestyle, values, and clothing.
Ethnicity is something I m proud of and something I would never deny. (Catholic/Hispanic) Ethnicity is something that you can t change and if you disrespect or deny it then you are disrespecting your ancestors. You can t change who you are or where you came from. I believe that we should embrace your ethnicity in a positive manner.
It doesn t matter to which ethnic group one belongs to, it all depends on the environment you grow up in. I would have the same mentality of respect for my culture and history. I think my childhood would all depend on my parents because they are the ones who help teach us about our culture and how we should act and treat others. They lay down the foundation to how you view the world

However, the others felt Fishy was too big and noisy, so they kicked him out of the bowl and made him move to an empty neighbor bowl. Fishy became lonely in his new bowl. Eventually, Sam, Jack, Jim, and Phil realized they missed Fishy and having fun with him. They asked Fishy to come back, explaining they made a mistake. Fishy happily jumped back to his old bowl to rejoin his friends.

Each table displayed traditional clothes, pictures, and artifacts as well as hands-on activities. In addition to the cultural exhibits, there were also performances of traditional dances on a stage. The author found India to be the most interesting culture represented and wanted to get a henna tattoo but the line was too long. Overall, the dances were considered the most interesting part of the festival in showing the unique dances of each culture.

My real age results fys word
Your RealAge test results show that you are biologically 15.4 years old, 4 years younger than your actual age. According to the livingto100 website, your calculated life expectancy is 95 years based on the information you provided.
Remote cultures
The document summarizes and compares two remote cultures - a tribe from Venezuela and residents from West Virginia. Both cultures are remote and not fully accepted in their larger country or state. While the West Virginia culture was familiar, the author found it shocking that an American man from that culture married an 11-year-old girl from the Venezuelan tribe, as that crossed cultural norms. Overall, both cultures have remained separate as civilization changed around them, and it would be difficult to integrate them into mainstream society if they do not want to change.
Video worksheet
The document contains analyses of music videos focusing on themes of gender roles, race, sexuality, materialism, and violence. It includes questions to guide observation of each video and interpretation of its message. The questions relate to the behaviors, appearances, relationships, and messages portrayed regarding the theme. The videos analyzed address gender role reversal, inclusion of all races, sexual attraction, wealth aspiration, and a volatile romantic relationship.
3 pictures
The document analyzes 3 historical photographs, describing the people and situations depicted, the messages conveyed, and questions raised. Picture 1 shows 4 boys saluting and likely supports Nazism. Picture 2 depicts soldiers at war to reassure families, while Picture 3 shows celebrating men but its meaning is unclear. More context could be found through online image searches.
Pic analysis 3
The document analyzes 6 photographs and attempts to interpret the situations, messages, and historical importance depicted in each picture. Photograph 1 shows 4 women cooking, 2 features Hitler with a baby, and 3 displays police using dogs on bystanders. Photograph 4 pictures a man hanging from the Statue of Liberty, 5 shows a family looking at the statue, and 6 portrays medical checks of immigrants. The analysis speculates on the photographers' intentions and what each image reveals about gender roles, public attitudes towards Hitler, police tactics, freedom for African Americans, immigration to America, and more.
Angry eyes
The student found a video about racism eye-opening as it showed her experiences of racism beyond just skin color. While the video made her sad and shocked, she was more shocked that classmates of different races did not find it shocking. She cannot imagine going through racism and would likely cry if experiencing something similar.
Fys survival paper
The group chose to keep the scientist, doctor, army officer, and 5-year-old girl in the bunker. The scientist and doctor could help find a cure for diseases and teach their children. The army officer would provide security and teach order. The young girl could help in the future and have children with the scientist and doctor's children to repopulate the world. They did not select others like the priest, drug-addicted couple, pregnant woman, elderly or disabled as they could not adequately contribute or survive in the bunker.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Walk
- 1. Kayla Dickson FYS 100 Privilege Walk During the Privilege Walk we all stood in a line and were asked questions about our experiences growing up with our race, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. As well as questions about our families and homes. During this exercise, I was confused as to why were being asked these questions. Afterwords, I felt hurt and frustrated. I was hurt because I realized some of my classmates did not get to grow up in such a warm welcoming home like I did. I was also hurt because I do not want my classmates who were a lot further back than I was to see me as some spoiled little privileged girl, because that is not who I am. This also made me frustrated because the questions we were being asked had nothing to do with me as a person. They had to do with my race, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. I can't help it that I was born white, just like people of other races can't help their race either. I can't help it that my parents chose to go to college and provide me with everything I needed. You don't get to choose what race, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation you are, just like you can't choose to be born to parents who went to college or didn't. You can only choose what you become and how you treat others. I learned that others around me have it a lot harder than I ever have. With this, I can continue to lead my life the way I have been taught too, by treating everyone equal no matter race, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
