...Questions for Administration: Makin sure Minority Males Are Not Over-represented in Special Education Response to Question 1: The best way to be sure that minority males aren’t over-represented is to adhere to RTII with fidelity. Whole school screening at K,1 and 2nd grade assures that “real needs” are met at early ages to avoid offshoots including behavior and social deficits. Also, tests must be given without bias and address the issues which are expressed by male students through aggressive behavior and frustration which leads to (possible) ES placements. This answer was interesting because it spoke about being proactive. Although the SEL interviewed stated that many of the things that should happen, typically don’t I agree with the attitude of proactivity in avoiding future placement issues. Response to Question 2: Over representation is in early years and is played out in later years. What “should happen” is that Functional Behavior Plans should be put in place to identify the antecedent, behavior and possible ways to encourage the change that is desired. Identification of patterns in behavior helps us as administrators get to the source of issues for proper placement. Frustration that is caused by lacking support shows through academic issues. Also, funding for programs which are aimed at inner city students and the resources which “should be” available to all students is usually missing in inner city schools and students suffer as a result. It was interesting...

...quote because differences are not always a bad thing. It helps children learn more about different people. Without knowing about these differences, they will most likely become more biased throughout their life. They need to know to respect these people and differences because it is only going to keep increasing in schools. These children will not only see diversity in their schools, but also in the workplace when they do get a job, so it is especially important for the rest of their lives. Diversity is something that is becoming bigger and bigger in schools as the years go on. There are many different cultures and races within schools; therefore, children need to be taught to respect differences in people because of this. There will always be differences in people, so it is good to learn it early anyway. In the article, “Teaching Young Children to Resist Bias,” the author states, “The early years are the time to begin helping children form strong, positive self-images and grow up to respect and get along with people who are different from themselves. We know from research that children between 2 and 5 start becoming aware of gender, race, ethnicity, and disabilities. They also begin to absorb both the positive attitudes and negative biases attached to these aspects of identity by family...

...In earlier years many of the intelligence test that had been developed were culturally biased. The early intelligence test favored people that were from urban areas and not people from rural areas. The early intelligence test also favored people who were of the middle class status and not those of the lower class status. The earlier intelligence test also favored people who were white rather than people who were black. In this paper the author will review several different articles that are related to intelligence testing. The definition of intelligence may vary among the different cultures (Rogoff, 1990). An example of the differences among cultures and the way they view intelligence is European Americans think of intelligence in technical skills terms whereas people that are from Kenya consider intelligence to be someone who is an active participant in family and social life. Another example of the way culture views intelligence is people from Uganda view someone as being intelligent if they know the right thing to do and then they follow through with the right actions. Another example is the of the variations on how intelligence is viewed from culture to culture is the latmu people that are from Papua New Guinea, they believe people who have the ability to remember 10, 000 to 20,000 clans as intelligent. The people of the Carolina Island people believe that people who can use the stars to navigate are intelligent. Intelligence testing can be vary cultural bias at times...

...both commit robbery under similar circumstances who will receive a more severe sentence? In this essay we will review instances that will help to determine if the judicial system needs to be reevaluated due to racially unfair sentences. The judicial system was created to interpret laws instituted by the state or federal government. It was also brought about to serve as a setting where individuals can have their disputes resolved (www.answerbag.com). Many issues over the years have come up where race has played a major issue on what kind of sentence is handed down to the accused and continues to go on to this day. Any system can only be as good as its contributing parts. The criminal justice system constituent parts are imperfect human beings. Through multiple research that had been deemed sufficient; a decision of whether the racial bias that is within the system is the fault of the system or the people who create the system had yet to be determined. There is no doubt that there is a need to eliminate racial bias within the criminal system because it does exist. The question that keeps coming up is whether the changes need to be made within the system or within the society that it is a part of. Does Race Decide Your Sentence Severity? In every state statistics show that the prison population is overrepresented by Hispanic and black people. Many Hispanic and Blacks as well as other ethnicities from lower socioeconomic groups are more likely to be convicted of crimes and more...

...Sigmund Freud’s influence on modern day thinking permeates into our lives every day whether or not we realize it. Although much of his work has either been refuted or revised, his ideas have influenced an enormous spectrum of psychology and how we view life through our own thoughts. While his influence is irrefutable, the opinions concerning Freud and his writings vary greatly throughout the world. Individuals may distinguish the great genius in his groundbreaking theories of psychoanalysis, or they may reject his writings arguing that he had pushed the envelope too far. Either way, it is safe to say that his theories still evoke a considerable amount of debate to this day. Out of all of Freud’s theories, however, it can be argued that his views on women and feminine psychology are the most controversial. The debate between Freud and feminists has been well documented through the writings of many authors. The Enigma of Women is one of several books that have been published that analyzes the issues between Freud and feminism. In The Enigma of Women, Sarah Kofman comments on Freud’s prediction that feminists would take to the warpath against his writings on the women arguing that Freud’s theories are “rife” with masculine prejudice (11). Other credible books, such as Samuel Slipp’s The Freudian Mystique raise important questions on Freud’s theories of feminism. Why did Freud make such grossly biased and incorrect statements about women, while in other areas he was a very perceptive...

...Children learn from their parents and society the conception of "feminine" and "masculine." Much about these conceptions is not biological at all but cultural. The way we tend to think about men and women and their gender roles in society constitute the prevailing paradigm that influences out thinking. Riane Eisler points out that the prevailing paradigm makes it difficult for us to analyze properly the roles of men and women in prehistory "we have a cultural bias that we bring to the effort and that colors our decision-making processes." Sexism is the result of that bias imposed by our process of acculturation.Gender roles in Western societies have been changing rapidly in recent years, with the changes created both by evolutionary changes in society, including economic shifts which have altered the way people work and indeed which people work as more and more women enter the workforce, and by perhaps pressure brought to make changes because of the perception that the traditional social structure was inequitable. Gender relations are a part of the socialization process, the initiation given the young by society, teaching them certain values and creating in them certain behavior patterns acceptable to their social roles. These roles have been in a state of flux in American society in recent years, and men and women today can be seen as having expanded their roles in society, with women entering formerly male dominions and men finding new ways to relate to and function in the family...

...In the book “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell, the author believed time, place, opportunity, culture legacy, communication, and hard work are the key to success. He gave a lot of people's examples that provide the information on how people are successful in life. People have to exchange something in order to get their achievement. Gladwell was wrong to concluded that early birthdays and the airplane crash of Korean Air Boeing 707 effect people on their way to success. First, Malcolm Gladwell was fail to convince that the early birthday has an effect on people's success. I am strongly disagreeing with him at this point. Based on what I see in real life, a child who born late in the year might losing behind in physical at first, but they are still...

...Diversity Awareness at ABC Corporation Situational background ABC Corporation is a fictional advertising agency. Following many years of highly successful advertising campaigns, market growth and staffing expansion, ABC has come under attack by various ethnic groups and the business community for a lack of sensitivity in some broadcast and print advertising. The leadership team is concerned about the consequences of this backlash to our clients’ satisfaction and retention and to our revenue stream. It was evident to the leaders attending last month’s leadership meeting that the source of this problem ran deeply through the organization. The leadership team is highly diverse in ethic and national origins, language skills, background and experience. The employees reflect a similar high level of diversity. What currents are directing our projects into insensitive waters? The leadership team appointed three of its members, Robert, Pat and Paul to investigate the source of the troubled waters; to bring some clarity to the analysis, “why are we not fully leveraging the diversity of our workforce?” The investigative team is to report its findings in one month, at the following leadership team meeting. The investigative team interviewed employees and administered surveys to assess possible causes of the problem. They met to analyze and interpret the data and to prepare a presentation to the leadership team. Findings The investigative team discovered that two advertisements...

Explain cultural patterns and events that took place in the movie as well. According to Hall’s high context cultures mainly deals with an individuals beliefs, values, norms, and social practices. When delivering a message very little is transmitted in the coded, transmitted part of the message. In the movie the flow quickens into a surging flood tide of recriminations and reversals in which blows are exchanged, claws are bared and tears are shed. The story is about how power and greed destroys multiple families and erode morality. A low context culture is majority of the information that is vested in the explicit code that a movie portrays. In the movie am example of high text would be the relation between William and his co worker because they were messing around for a long period of time. An example in the movie of low context cultures would be the communication that William mother shared with the people that worked for her company. An example of high context that took place in the movie is the affair William was having with his co worker for a long period of...

Aboriginal people were hunters and gatherers, and as their survival depended on it, they developed a great knowledge of their land and what it had to offer (GBRMPA, 2016). Townsville has been home to the Indigenous Tribes of the Wulgurukaba and Bindal People. A very important symbol for the Bindal People is the shooting star, and they believe that where the star fell, or the direction of where it fell meant danger coming, or that someone from that direction was in need of help or in danger. The Bindal People call their land “Thul Garrie Waja” (Townsville NAIDOC, 2016). Wulgurukaba...

...000 and $10,000 per year.) In Russia there is already significant evidence of the growth of consumerism during the past decade. There are also early signs of similar trends in China and India, but they have yet to cross the threshold. However the BRICS stated that Russia middle class is showing rapid growth. It is expected that within a decade or so, each of the BRICs will show higher returns, increased demand for capital, and stronger national currencies. Thus, foreign firms will want to monitor major economic indicators such as GNI, PPP, and the Human Development Index, as well as developments in the cultural, political, and legal environments of those nations. The indicator that companies might monitor to guide their investments and actions is the futures of widespread poverty and distorted income distributions. What are the implications of the emergence of the BRICs for careers and companies in your country? The emergence of the BRICs effect on our country has some advantages and disadvantages, because it may create new career opportunities, more product options, and better price and/or quality for products because of competition. But on the other hand it may affect negatively the domestic firms more over it may cause some kind of monopoly as the BRICs taking the lead. Do you think the recency bias has led to overestimating the potential of the BRICs? How would you, as a manager for a company assessing these markets, try to control this bias? No, I think that many...

...know it all girlfriend decided it wasn’t “multicultural” enough. The film should not be confused with the 1991 Lars von Trier film Europa, which was initially released as Zentropa in the United States to avoid such a confusion. Europa Europa is directed by the young European director Agnieszka Holland, who previously directed the films Angry Harvest, and To Kill A Priest, and would later go on to direct such films as In Darkness and Burning Bush a three part miniseries which aired on the premium cable channel HBO this year. After doing a good amount of reading on Wikipedia, I am a big fan of the director, despite not knowing anything about the director, nor having seen any of his movies. My girlfriend insists the director is a woman, and begrudgingly I admit to her that she is in fact correct. This is a gender bias I have displayed unwittingly, and a multicultural stereotype of men directing war movies that I have internalized. I recognize that this is a negative bias. Dark sided. I have displayed a misogynistic tendency here in this situation. Irregardless, the female director has quite the repertoire of Nazi war movies. I am ready to accept her for who she is and empathize. I will probably have to empathize for the next three or four hours for a myriad of different reasons. The movie Europa Europa is not a film about astronauts on a mission to explore the claustrophobic cold recess of distant outer space, even though such a movie would exemplify multicultural relations. Europa...
