For my response to be to Joshua is that he would have to ask his parents about what is going on. Due to I am not on your case I am not aware with what is going on with your care plan. If you would like Joshua I can go ask the doctor who is on his case to talk with you and your parents about your care. Also, I can not discuss what is going on due to you’re a minor and your parents have control with what is happening with your care and what we are allowed to tell you. Due to the ethical standing Joshua I am not allowed to discuss your care with you unless I have your parent’s permission and if I was on your care team to know what is happening. With this response I am following all the ethical principles by being fidelity, non-maleficence, and beneficence.…
In my essay I chose to use multiple references from both the syllabus and my class notes. As the ground platform for not only what we will be covering in class over the whole semester but also the basis of what African studies is, the syllabus also provides vital background information on concepts that I will need to understand to successfully finish the Introduction to Afro-American Studies course. As the primary text of the course it is imperative to thoroughly comprehend every part of the syllabus from the ground rules to intellectual work, to the framework questions which we will be discussing and answering as the class continues. The syllabus provided to my class has been inexplicably helpful in assisting in the complete understand of the concepts that although basic to the course are difficult and new to an incoming and ill-informed student body.…

African-American culture is rooted in Africa. It is a blend of chiefly sub-Saharan African and Sahel an cultures. Although slavery greatly restricted the ability of Americans of African descent to practice their cultural traditions, many practices, values, and beliefs survived and over time have modified or blended with white culture. There are some facets of African-American culture that were accentuated by the slavery period. The result is a unique and dynamic culture that has had and continues to have a profound impact on mainstream American culture, as well as the culture of the broader world.…

Africans in America (1931-1955)A movement of great importance and deep meaning came about during a time not so long past. The 1930 's-50 's brought a movement of integrity and of the idea that though we are all different people, we belong to one country.…
At the beginning of this course, I hoped to learn about cultures that I previously knew little about. I think that this class did help me achieve this goal. I learned about issues, like the Arab Spring, that I had little knowledge of previously. One issue that I knew especially little about was the Blood Diamonds. While in the past I had heard the term "blood diamonds" mentioned, nobody had ever thoroughly explained what those were and how they came to be. I never knew that slaves mined the gems, and that the money acquired from selling the diamonds was used to fund a war. The issue helped me see how influential the shopping habits of developed countries can be on other nations across the world. If there is an injustice taking place, every…
Second order of business would be America and the Bahamas’s cultural differences. The people in each respective country would be the first topic.

At the beginning of the semester, I was not aware of what certain things I would be learning about in Intro to Anthropology. I didn’t even know what anthropology was and was just taking it to fill my pre-requisites requirement. Now that the class is coming to an end, I realized that I learned so much about my culture, self, and my community that I was unaware of before. There were …topics that I thought deeply about and realized that I can really relate to race, language, the book…
