Return to Owner If you had misplaced something that was valuable to you, you would want it returned. Well, this is exactly how countries feel about their artifacts. Artifacts should be returned to their country of origin. This is so the culture can be celebrated by the people whose ancestors were part of it. Even though when artifacts are in other countries it makes easier for others to learn about the culture, the artifacts may be stolen or they may have been made for private ceremonies, and not

Justin Nguyen Mrs. Williams English 1 Honors/ Period 3 4 November, 2014 Social and Cultural Identity: How it can shape us. Erik Erikson once said, “In the social jungle of human existence, there is no feeling of being alive without a sense of identity.” I believed that Erickson wanted us to know that everyone should have an identity either socially or culturally. Social identity distinguishes you from everyone else by what you say and what you do. Cultural identity also paints an image to others

“What Do the ABE Goals Mean to Me” There are various ways in which I fully developed a self-aware and positive social identity for myself. Growing up I always felt different to my friends who were mostly Mexican-American. Although I was half Mexican-American from my father, my mother was born in Brazil. Since my mother had a strong cultural influence in our household, I often felt like I couldn’t relate my peers in a cultural sense. However, I eventually embraced my dual heritage once I realized

Counselor's Cultural Worldview and Assessment and Diagnosis Counselors who hold world views different from their clients’ views and who are unaware of the bases for these differences are most likely to impute negative traits to their clients (Sue, 1978). If a counselor has biases that they have not worked through, they may see the presenting problem as something stereotypical. Counselors and other mental health professionals are often unaware of how strongly personal beliefs can affect

A life-long immersion into another culture requires first of all treating other people with respect and accepting them for who they are. It also requires being open to new ideas and different perspectives. A strong sense of identity will keep one anchored when adapting to a vastly different culture and not lose oneself by simply conforming to the new society. Integrating psychology and theology is similar in these respects. Both disciplines offer valuable perspectives and have much to contribute

The decision between the therapist and Latino client is a remarkable example of how important cultural sensitivity and competence is within the practice integration process. The therapist appeared to have inadvertently increased the client’s stress, while potentially thwarting the therapist-client relationship as well as encumbering the intervention process. When I first read the counseling session dialog, I initially supported the counselor’s approach to assist the client with skills on how to

In order to understand Pierre Bourdieu, we have to strive to understand how he explores the many ways in which people conduct their lives in relation to one another and social institutions. Bourdieu’s main focus was involved with the dynamics of power in society, and especially the differing ways in which power is transferred and how social order is maintained within generations. Bourdieu defines that there are three different types of capital which are economic capital, cultural capital and social

As I was reading about the evidence that bugs leave behind, I started thinking about the evidence that humans leave behind. I remember learning in primary school that you can learn a lot about people by going through their trash. In fact, a great deal of what we know about past civilizations and cultures are from the waste they disposed in dumping pits. A dumping pit can provide an interesting array of artifacts from which you can learn about the daily life and development of the civilization that

The culture that most interests me is the Creole culture. As it stands, there are several things that I admire about the rich heritage of the Creole people. Considering their hypnotically poetic language, customs and beliefs, and mouth-watering cuisines, it is justifiably easy to find oneself deeply entranced and enamored by such a fascinating culture. As a woman of color, I believe the respectful adaptation of certain aspects of the Creole culture could possibly enrich my life, expand my business

other types of violence beyond physical altercations. One example is the story of Chouchou. For him, the military coup in Haiti created “anger…soon followed by sadness, then fear…” (Farmer 269). This mental fear created by the military was later enacted physically when Chouchou was beaten for a remark on public transportation near an out-of-uniform officer. Especially after his beating, the emotional violence caused by the fear and paranoia of the government’s physical aggression remained with him
