Ethnographic Chart

Ethnography tells about a culture and the members that comprise this culture. A definition is the scientific description of the customs and individual people of a culture. The process of doing this assignment allowed me to explore another aspect of a cultural group. I was able to learn extensively about interactions between individuals and how see them as a culture. The group that comprises my ethnography is a cultural group very common to Utah. The culture I focused on was the LDS culture, to be more specific I studied a sub-culture of this group. My subculture was a group of 12 year old adolescents that are a Sunday school class in this culture.

This is my first time that I come to New York, so I am curious about many things in this new place, such as the famous resorts, and the people here. As we know, the Times Square is very famous in New York. When I was in China, I hope I can visit Times Square, because I saw Times Square was very great in some of the opening of American series. Now, I am in New York, and I have enough chances to visit Times Square whenever I want. In there, it gives me a new horizon to understand the culture that is different from China.

I live in a country where I can meet people from all cultures and walks of life on a daily basis, yet still I have felt like a stranger in this “melting pot”. In the United States, the idea of diversity is a term I have heard many times when speaking of ways to heal the past of slavery and segregation, but I think that in the current political climate, diversity is seen as an enemy to the American way of life. I am an outsider in the country I call home, and my cultural background has impacted the way I see the world.

On the playground, I met who will soon to be my first best friend, shortly after I had my first kiss. Kissing a girl, I felt so scared of what it meant that I knew I had to make myself the way I believed was right. I thought the best way was denying and eliminating all feelings that I had of the opposite sex because I never saw two of the same sex could be together. Little did I know my mom is gay but, she was too afraid to talk about it at the time so, it led me to struggle with my sexuality growing up. I developed strong feelings for my best friend and I believed that I just loved her because she was my best friend. I quickly learned that I loved her in a stronger way and still not knowing how to deal with my feelings, I started to hate my

Right now violence and discrimination are happening between different cultures across the world. The lack of understanding and compassion to live among each other besides our differences has caused a clash in cultures, or contact zones. Every day a culture is being limited and belittled due to the perception of what others think it is. For thousands of years misinterpretations and stereotypes have been made about different cultures. During slavery, Africans were seen as uneducated, savage, and uncivilized because of their differences from American culture. Although the Africans had an entire culture established before America was even discovered, they were still seen as the “other”.

In spite of Egypt's and Nubia's contentions, they do in fact acknowledge one another's social progress and both cultures believe in allowing blended relational unions. The high authorities and clerics of Egypt had settled in Nubia and assembled their sanctuaries there. A standout amongst the most noteworthy sanctuaries ever constructed amid that time was the sanctuary complex of Soleb. It was constructed under the principle of Amenophis III at around 1360 BC. Under the guideline of Ramses II (I279-I212 BC), a few stone sanctuaries were manufactured like the Abu Simbel.

I have a confession: I used to be racist. It wasn’t intentional or conscious in any way; I didn’t even realize it. I was merely an impressionable little girl, and when my parents made sly comments that implied black people are somehow genetically predispositioned for a life of crime and drug addiction, or that Muslims are misogynists and terrorists, or when they spewed any other number of atrocious stereotypes, I considered it fact. At that point in my life, my parents had supreme authority over me. They fed me, clothed me, sheltered me, and so their word was law. If they said black people were criminals, then surely black people must be criminals. If they said Muslims were terrorists, then surely they all were. My parents were basically gods;

Last weekend, I went to see Micah`s senior project titled The Kingdom of _______ ! This show was great and very entertaining. It was very high energy and involved so many kinds of dancing. Micah and other dancers really put on great show. The one thing that I thought was the most amazing about this show was how so many different kinds of dancers and dance styles came together. In addition, I loved that there were also different body shape. The dancers after the performance spoke about how they felt as dancers in this show. They mentioned that they appreciated how Micah took into considerations different body types and made dances to accommodate different body types.

My major is Information Systems. When I first found out that I had to take another 100-level class, as a senior about to graduate, I was beyond a little upset. I then found out it was an art history class and it made it even worse. How am I ever going to use being able to distinguish between two paintings in my career? It might come in handy as a party trick. But fast forward six weeks into the class and I think I finally understand the relationship. We are learning and practicing to spot details, patterns, symbols, and visually compare works of art. Working with data requires me to do the same. Training the brain to observe and interpret those patterns, as well as being able to describe those patterns, is very important in my intended

This graph is showing the percentage of Canada’s population that’s over 65 years of age- the unit(s) is percent, and 10 year intervals are used; from 1971-2011 are ‘real’/historical years, and also the projected/predicted aging pop. growth from 2012-2061 (but general= from 1971-2061). The largest number of Canadians over 65 is in the year 2061 as projected, but historically it was in the year 2011. The smallest/lowest number of Canadians over 65 years of age was in the year-historically-1971, and as projected, in the year 2021. There are no obvious outliers- but, if there were, it would probably be the number of Canadians over 65 in the year 2021 because that’s when the population increased the most drastically (historically and projected).

My Family has been supporting me since I was born. When I told my parents and brothers that I was applying to Bethel they were all so excited. My two older Brothers attended Bethel, so they know how great of a school it is. I told my family that I am applying to Bethel because of their great business programs and their godly influence and they were pleased to hear that.

There is a lot in this chart, however focus your attention to the last three line: percent of cohort who are high achievers, radius to gather 20 high achievers, and radius to gather 50 high achievers. Notice, for the category of percent of cohort who are high achievers, that the people included under high income students

The overall process of drawing out my ecomap and genogram was moderately easy. I drew rough drafts of both clinical tools first before completing the final copies. I found this helpful especially for the ecomap because it allowed me to organize the different ecological impacts of my life effectively. I think the hardest part of creating this clinical tool was being able to lay it out so that things that should be connected were close to each other. I liked drawing the ecomap because it was interesting to see different aspects of my life connected to each other. Thinking of the different parts of my life that I come in contact with came easily to me. In terms of completing the genogram, because I have relatively small family, this was not that

This above chart is based upon a study focusing on recent graduates of Rutger’s University and their opinion on their future financial success in comparison to their parents’ generation. On the left, the students are asked what they think about the success of their generation after college. More than half, roughly 58%, believe that they would have less success than the generation before them. Only 16% believed that they would have more success and around 24% believe that both generations will have about the same amount of success. The same graduate students were then asked about the financial success they would have compared to their parents’ generation. 48% believed that they would experience more financial success than their parents, while 20% believed they would experience less financial success and 29% think that the amount of financial success would be the same.

First off, I was not allowed to interact with anybody during my ethnography. This was a challenge since I really wanted to take the time to talk with people who were reading the mementos. I had this interest in wanting to learn about what they thought about the memento and if they knew the person. I felt that the lack of communication prevented me from learning as much as I can. In addition, the time limit of twenty or thirty minutes made me rush throughout the walk. I felt that there were many more things I could have paid attention to and taken more notes on, but I could not afford to spend lots of time on only a few things. Lastly, I wish I would have done the walking ethnography on a time where there would be more people walking around.
