Arriving at a foreign country at the age of eleven years old was and exiting and yet intimidating experience. High buildings, wide roads, newer and nicer cars on the streets were some of the first things I noticed when I arrived to the city of Los Angeles CA. Living in a country where you were not born in could be difficult some times. Although Spanish is spoken at a grand scale in CA, it was difficult to communicate with and understand the teachers from my classes at the elementary level since all they spoke was English. Los Angeles is a city of great diversity, therefore it is believed to be the perfect place for any person arriving from another country to not feel like a foreign, such believe

The life experience during the kid’s time is one of most important time in the life. I have learned this by the hard way. When people looking for how should their kids to learn, I think people should pay more attention to what are their kids learning. Times are changing, the old thought of teaching might not fit in today anymore. I am always hoping one day today’s student could teach kids， because today’s student knows more about what kids like, what should kids know at this time of the day. SEU’s CCU class’s Cultural Engagement Assignment have given me a chance to see my childhood dream in life. I have decided to go one of the activity on Saturday. I have gone three times, first time I want is because I have to; the second time I want is because I like it and I want to do something I can to help the kids, also I want to know about the kids grow up in the family that not so good. Before I want the activity, my understanding of “Cultural Engagement,” is the connection between the people and the cultural, but after I want the activity, my understanding of “Cultural Engagement” has changed, it became what kind of culture for the kids have been growing up have affected to their dream and behavior. I will never forget a point that so many pastors have mentioned - Christians should never need to tell others that they are Christian but people should able to tell that we are Christian. As being Christian, we need to show the love to others and share the God’s words and

This is my first interviewing anyone regarding their culture solely, and I interviewed my friend Jennifer on Skype. I have known Jennifer for a long time, and Jennifer is 27 years old. Jennifer is of African American descent. Jennifer’s parents reside in from Houston Texas, and they have lived there all their lives. Jennifer had Cajun roots, and her grandmother is white and her grandfather is Black. Her grandparents had an interracial marriage at a time when it was not acceptable. Jennifer’s grandfather and grandmother were born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and they experienced discrimination and unacceptance form others. Jennifer’s great-grandparents came to term with their relationship, and they were supportive, but not at first. Jennifer expressed being extremely proud of her Cajun, Anglo-Saxon, and African American ancestry. Jennifer comes from an upper middle class background, and it is a firm believer in working hard to achieve your goals.

My cultural immersion focus is on the religious war in Nigeria. One of the interesting things I found in my research was that, in Nigeria the Christian faith and the Muslim faith represents the greatest percentage of religions. I also learned that the Christians and Muslims pray every day several times a day. With that being said, I wondered if they believed in a higher entity prayed every day, who they are praying to? And what is their belief system based on? (question 1) Since their Christian faith seems to be divided into Catholic, Protestant or some other, I decided to attend a typical Catholic Church service and a Friday mid-day Muslim prayer service. Maybe I should not have used the

I agree with your post about the competence which always involves having an open mind, and being respectful when dealing with different cultures. Learning, accept and respect other cultures is an important step for having new experiences and learning about the world. Each patient requires respect and acceptance as a human being. Another important factor is the communication, which is the corner stone of nurse patient relation. The purpose of the relationship is to help the patient, to promote healing, and to support functioning. Provide Cultural Competence Training for Employees is also important factor. Training also should be included as part of new-hire training and/or annual competency review. The main reason is the cultural competence

I understand the term “cultural competence” is the ability to naturally navigate through (social) environments taking into consideration people’s different cultural views and promote the views of others – not to the detriment of others.

When embarking on the journey of learning a foreign language, one of the most important aspects to consider is immersing one’s self in the culture, not just the vocabulary. Having a deeper and broader understanding of the cultural gives both insight and wisdom to the people who speak the language one is learning. In an effort to get closer to south American culture, I conducted an interview with Isaura Sampaio. Isaura was born in Brazil, and moved to the United states in 1982. Here, she raised two American born daughters. In addition to speaking Portuguese, the native language of brazil, she is also fluent in Spanish and English. The following is an account of the conversation we shared, detailing some of the more poignant difference between

For my Cultural Encounter project, I visited the Orlando Museum of Art (OMA). The museum hosts an exhibit called “Art of The Ancient Americas”, which consists of remnants from the indigenous peoples of North, Central, and South America. These artifacts showcase the unique styles, intricate technique, and profound symbolism prevalent in indigenous American artwork, and give valuable insight into the culture and history of these ancient peoples.

To adapt a care for Jane in order to meet her cultural needs, I would need to be culturally competent this would include putting my cultural skill and cultural encounters into practice (Fundamentals of Nursing e-text, page 9). I would need to assess her cultural believes, practices and values. This would allow me to obtain accurate information necessary to establish a cultural care plan for her. By utilizing my cultural encounters skill, I would be able to interact directly with Jane through a verbal and nonverbal communication in order to get a valid response that will enable me to validate her beliefs, values, and practices. In addition, I would take note of her verbal and her nonverbal responses. Since Jane only eats traditional Vietnamese

For my second culture immersion project I went to eat at a Mexican restaurant. I went with my group members Ryan, Brian and Brian's girlfriend. I went this pass Tuesday after we had our group meeting. I don’t recall the name of the restaurant but I know it was downtown Appleton near by the Walgreens. . This was good choice for the project because I never have eaten at an actually Mexican restaurant before.

In my family, I am the youngest. I have an older brother and sister, along with my mother and father. My brother is five years older than I am and recently graduated college. My sister will start her second year of college at Drexel in September. My mother is a dialysis technician and my father is a social worker.

As a way of experiencing the Humanities beyond the classroom, the following is a summary of my selection for a cultural event. Certainly, the described activity doesn’t fit in its entire to the current course but it has a significant impact for me as student and as a social individual. The activity I have selected was a visit to the ‘Tampa Bay History Center’ which is located in the 801 Old Water St, Tampa, FL 33602. The place is conveniently close to my residence, only 20 minutes away and it is in a well-known area of the city (down town Tampa). The museum is open the seven days of the week from 10AM-5PM, and it has interesting exhibits and artifact’s collection. To support the art’s community some of the exhibits are temporary so local artist can show their talent to the public in general. The museum not only host artist. Certain areas of the museum are dedicated for special events like birthdays, meetings or weddings. As a recommendation, the best time to visit the museum is early in the week days since the weekend seems to be busy per one of the employees I was talking.
