 By watching and listing to the presentations of my classmates I've was able to retain lot of important information I didn't know before. I had section 3-2 and 3-2b which were race and ethnicity. In my research I got to know more about race and the different cultures. Like race is usually associated with biology and linked with the physical characteristics of each person. Such as their hair texture  or skin color yet people of similar complexions or hair textures can be defined as different races.  And I also gathered information about ethnicity like that its a broader term than race. The term is mostly used to categorize different groups of people.  Commonalities such as cultural, linguistic, religious, racial, tribal  or national origin may be used to describe someone's ethnicity. Also learned that immigrants changed their names to "American's" if I'm not mistaken they needed to learn English. Got to learn how cultures differ and that there are 9 different cultural value differences one of them is. Power distance, in high power distance is defined from below rather than above. High power distance are differentiated into classes, they have stable and scarce power bases. Then there's also Uncertainty Avoidance members are comfortable with ambiguous and unknown situations. They also are tolerant of change. Orientation to time is cultures with future orientation have a strong tendency and willingness to imagine future possibilities. Gender Egalitarianism biological constraints in childbearing have long dictated societal norms about he roles of men and woman in many societies. Assertiveness societies with low gender egalitarianism typically display high assertiveness. Being vs doing societies believe that schooling and education are critical for success.  They value training and development. Humane Orientation members of low humane orientation societies are less sensitive to racial discrimination and are motivated by power and possessions. Indulgence vs restraint in contrast retract societies believe that hedonistic pressure needs to be curbed and regulated by strict social norms. Individualism vs collectivism in individual societies people define themselves in terms of I and their unique attributes.

Reflection on Chapters 3,9 and 10

  Reflection on Chapters 3,9, and 10 By: Amanda Caballero Through watching all the presentations, I've learned a lot of information to apply to my real everyday life. These chapters go inadept on topics like Intercultural Communication, Communicating in Groups and Group Leadership and Problem Solving. Intercultural Communication is something we deal with all the time. So many people have to communicate with other people from different cultural backgrounds for there jobs or in there communities. How do people develop intercultural communication skills? To develop that skill, you can start by learning about the culture by reading articles or books or listening to podcasts. There is some potential barriers that stop people from trying to learn the skill. Some barriers are Anxiety, Stereotyping, Assumptions and Language. Many people also find much difficulties in communicating in groups. There are so many different types of groups like Families, Friend groups, Virtu...

disabilities reflection by Francisco Alcantara

with the presentations on disabilities, just like the first presentations that we did, I have learned a lot of new stuff. learning about the disabilities, their history, the different agencies that help people with disabilities and watching those wonderful interviews has been a great experience. For me, the most interesting disabilities, and the ones that I mostly learn about were: the deafness, which has an interesting background as deaf people in the past used to be persecuted by religious people because they couldn’t hear the word of god. With the time, deaf people were slowly being introduced to the society, special schools for deaf people were created, the sign language was improved, organizations and events for deaf people were created and devices to improve the hearing were invented. The speech impairment, which is mostly found in children and is the most common childhood disability. It has different types and depending on the type of speech impairment, it can affect the tone ...
