Cultural Reflection

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

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

Final Reflection Paper During this summer semester, I have learned many important skills concerning my internship at Retreat of Lancaster County.

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

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. I no longer feel like an outsider trying to figure out what I am doing. The other employees know me by name and involve me in all day-to-day tasks. However, the task that

Cross- Cultural Continued Reflection The paper is based on the following questions asked by my advisor, Dr. Larry G.Murphy 1.Why not seek understanding of this religious-cultural practice, in this time of cross-cultural learning? 2. In what sense, or for what reason(s) do you name this people as God’s chosen? 3. What is the significance of being a “Gentile?” In the contemporary religious, and interreligious, context, what does Gentile mean? I was born and raised in Pakistan and moved to the

Cultural Experience Reflection The cultural assignment allowed me to gain a new perspective on the differences of others. I have grown up in a household of dissimilar belief systems. My mom is a dedicated Christian while my dad is unassociated with any religious beliefs. Though, he grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness. There differing belief systems have been the cause of various conflicts within their relationship. I often wondered if people with contradicting beliefs could effectively and peacefully

Personally I have lived In the religious culture environment of Christianity since birth. Christianity is what I believe defines who I am for the most part. Although I believe that culture can be learned, it is different from actually experiencing it, therefore one should actually live the culture to become fully knowledgeable in it . Being born

left to care for them. As I was preparing for this project, I was looking through my high school yearbook when I realized for the first time that even though a good portion of our school was Alaska Native (800 students total), there was no signs of cultural diversity whatsoever. For me, that was quite disturbing. I went and looked at the yearbook committee, and there were no natives on there at all, and then I realized that I was on the advertising
