Week 4 Practicing Awareness of Microaggressions

Practicing Awareness of Microaggressions I was having a conversation with some colleague about a month ago about the president and one of the statement was make "why did they let Obama run again and he's not going to help us. He have mess up things in the white house with the Healthcare plan. I response to her what do you mean about that she said he a black man not a white man. I stated they all do what they want to do in the white house. We cannot change anything and the only one that is god. The world was already mess up when he got in there. The offended me when she said that to me because i am black and we have a black president. I felt very sad about how that went down. Even though my observation experience did not happen this week. Discrimination, prejudice, and stereotypes of people happen all the time in school work, home, and public place. I think that we should just be quiet sometime and do not say mean thing to people.

Week 3: Blog Perspective on Diversity and Culture

Perspectives on Diversity and Culture

I have two cousins that have the same feeling of culture and diversity. They stated that culture is know for ways people live, eat, sleep,talk, play, and how they care for their family. Diversity is the way people are different  from each others.

Last, my future husband say that culture is the way a person religion, personality, and race. Diversity is when a person have different language and tradition that is around us.

The answers I receive from the three people help my understanding with this course on culture and diversity. Diversity is how we are different in this world today with our language and religion.

I did not have any omitted because they covered everything about culture. It helps me understands what is culture and diversity. I have learned a lot from the three people I interview.    

Week 2 Blog My Family Culture

               My Family Culture

If a major catastrope happened and I had to leave my home and I had to live somewhere else and I could not take anything with me, but three items. The three items I would take would be, a bible, computer, and pictures.

The reason I would take a bible is because I was grew up on a bible when I was little. Another item is a computer because it stores all my information on it to research my family.

Last, is pictures so I can look back at my family.

If I was told that I could not take anything, but one item with me I would pick the bible, because God is first in my life. I would really want to take all three items. I want to have connection with them in some kind of way.

As I finish my assignment I realize that something like cars, jewels, clothes, and shoes, do not mean anything to me at all. My family is the main people in my life.
