According to the textbook, assimilation is the process by which a society experiencing acculturation changes so much that it is hardly distinguishable from a more dominant society (Carpo, 2103). This means that a smaller society basically takes on the traits of a bigger one to the point that it is hard to tell the two apart. This film was unlike anything I was prepared to watch in this class. I was surprised to learn that these children were being involuntarily taken from their homes for the selfish reasons and most times the parents did not know where they went. From my understanding, the children were being taken from their homes so that they could be molded to behave and think a certain way, while learning mediocre trade skills so that they could work jobs and be more civilized. Native American children that were raised in their homes were taught to think for themselves, but make formidable decisions that were best for the progression of the group (Givens, 2011). While at these boarding schools, they were taught to think and behave like a certain group. The children were being taught that they were also inferior. These children were beaten, sometimes fatally. I think the long term affect was negative. To instill in someone since childhood that they are inferior is to set them up to be an adult with lots of problems such as self-esteem issues and depression. In the video it was mentioned that suicide rates were high. Not only would the moral of the population decrease, but the cultural uniqueness would dissipate as well. If you are not allowing someone to express their culture it can become forgotten. Assimilating others into another culture is not justified. Not in the way it was done in this video. Who gives any society the right to think that they are better than anyone else? Different traits and skills are needed for different situations. For instance, in American we have systems set…

The book of Proverbs is a book that can provide us with wisdom and knowledge for effective every day living. Proverbs supply wisdom for all people regardless of their age, sex or position in society. God wants his people to be wise and informed with quality applications for a successful and blessed lifestyle. An attribute to possess in order to obtain great wisdom on diligence and laziness is first we must have the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 1:7 states “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” According to that verse the fear of the Lord is an attitude of respect toward God, which means we do not want to displease God. In order to not displease God’s word in the book of Proverbs we must be willing to accept and try and live our life according to the wisdom that he has provided. Proverbs is like a manual for living an effective life. A wise individual will understand from the beginning we must know and follow God’s instructions of his word.…

Ethnocentrism is the act of viewing someone’s culture below yours or from the perspective of only your own views. When considering issues of immigration, it is looked at as a major problem. People who come to live permanently in a foreign country, also known as an immigrant, are sometimes treated with hatred and not given the basic respects that every human being deserves. Prejudices, discrimination and hate crimes are things that immigrants face every day, no matter what country they came from. The unjust treatment of a person is on the rise in our society, especially to individuals who are different from ourselves. Demographics and family upbringings also affect our views on immigration, being an immigrant and judging immigrants bring up…
As a new teacher I have not be given the privilege to have my own classroom yet, but I was given the opportunity on two occasions to practice my teaching skills with students. These two experiences have given me so much insight on how a classroom is run, and what I need to do implement to have a successful and smooth running classroom. Growing up from a very diverse back ground has allowed me to be more open and accepting with my students. I feel that I can relate to many of them on many aspects. I believe this trait will allow me to be success with not only my students, but with the student’s parents, administrators, as well as my co-workers.…
As a young African-American woman, I am often faced with the statistics that define my race and ethnicity. Statistics from jbhe.com and usnews.com says: "Black students graduate rate stands at an appallingly 42 percent compared to the 62 percent of Whites; Black college graduates are twice as likely as Whites to struggle to find jobs; People with 'Black-sounding names' had to send out 50 percent more job applications than people with 'White-sounding names' just to get a call back. " How can I ever grow from such statics that define my race, when the system is against our odds? I am appalled that the color of my skin weighs heavier than my actual intellect. My life has basically been determined for me before I even began to pave my own path.…
Drew Hayden Taylor’s “This Boat Is My Boat” and Naomi Klein’s “Local Foreign Policy” are similar in several ways as both essays talk about marketing.

As a result, in both essays, the authors talked about the exploitation, the history of the products and the solutions.…

The United States and the colonial society that preceded it were created by immigration from all over the globe. Public and political attitudes towards immigrants have always been contradictory, and sometimes hostile. The early immigrants to colonial America were from England, France, Germany, and other countries in northwestern Europe, and came in search of economic opportunity and political freedom. The next influx of European immigrants came to the United States in the late 1800s from Italy, Poland, Russia, and elsewhere in southeastern Europe. The descendants of these immigrants have often taken a dim view of the growing numbers of Latin American, Asian, and African immigrants who began to arrive in the second half of the 20th century.…
