Throughout my first semester at Carroll University, I have learned a great deal about diverse cultures and how they differ from my own. Until I started my journey at college, I never reflected on cultures and if they affected my everyday life. In my cultural seminar, Music of the Movies, our class focuses on how culture is portrayed in movies throughout time. We also completed distinct assignments that assisted in our understanding of culture; this included reading discussions and outside events. When
There are all kind of feeling that are transpiring throughout my mind when think of the term cultural analysis. In executing the communication concepts of African American cultural, I found that the Chinese and African American cultural are strongly tied to their beliefs and family concepts. I define myself through my culture as being an African American male, thought out religions, education, and family is very essential in my culture. Also, being limited to making lifestyle changes, and the different
Argument Reflection For my Final Argument Paper in my Gemini English class, I decided to select a topic about culture, something that I wish to learn about further. Since I had already done a paper about why Islamophobia is negative, I wanted to take a different approach to culture. Hence, I picked the topic of cultural appropriation, and why it is a necessary part of society. However, it took me quite a while to pick this exact topic, as cultural appropriation is a very controversial subject. In

When I think of culture, I think of what activities people normally do, things they wear, and even the food they eat. I grew up as a military brat, meaning I grew up in a military family. I traveled a lot and I have got to see all types of cultures, and I like them all for different reasons. I was born in Germany, and I love their culture because they are happy with who they are, they have really cool traditions, and I love their food. In Germany, if a person saw a 12 year old drinking alcohol, it

Reflection Paper After reading and doing the Cross Cultural Adaptability Inventory I have realized that there are many factors, which are effective for managing people in different cultures. This world is very diverse and it can be hard to keep up with everything that is going on in everyone’s culture. Diversity is an attribute to a specific individual that shows that he or she is different from another individual. Managing diversity in the work place is important because it can benefit the workplace
this class, I never would of thought of specific ways of cultural communication is different for many. Understanding terms and talking about them in real life situations in class, was helpful to understanding these terms. They’re 6 key terms that are going to be explained, how they apply to class or life situation with myself involved, and what I will do with these terms throughout the rest of my career. The first key concept is Cultural Identity. This was one of the most interesting terms that
connect with others who share the same background, but allow opportunities to dive into other cultures and ethnicities. I think shaping communication with cultural competence is extremely valuable in all aspects of life. I try to remain aware and respect different heritages, understand structures in society, and improve skills pertaining to cross-cultural communication. Like many other dimensions, race/ethnicity is can be linked to my attitudes,
This reflection acts as my third reflection since I have started my internship at Comfort Dental under the Guidance of Dr. Trino Nuno. Now, I have been working at Comfort Dental for a little over a month now. I have become immersed in the culture of the organization. This immersion includes me feeling like I am part of the team.
