Hi Dr. Headley Case Study

Teaching Mexican American history is paramount in breaking the stigma one step a time. Its culture and history is vast, and to be taught these things is to eradicate the stereotypes and ignorance not only between different peoples but interculturally. During my last deployment, I was seen as less for being Asian and female. As an aircraft mechanic it was uncommon to find a female in my field let alone of my ethnicity. Charged with my section, it was daily that a soldier unfamiliar to our unit would come to my squad and seek out the 'person in charge', not the youngest and shortest; and female; but the middle aged white male. Stereotypes can cause resentment and hatred that compounds upon itself, and the breaking of them is nothing but good that makes for a more sound and accepting

My first awareness of racial identity and diversity occurred when I was in Year 3. Having being raised acknowledging acceptance of people of racial or cultural difference my thoughts of children of colour were positive and impartial. However, one day a boy in my class of Sri Lankan descent got into trouble with another student, but only the Sri Lankan boy was asked to go to the principal’s office. During our lunch break he came over to a group of us and told us that he thought he was the one that got into trouble ‘because he was ‘black’’. I remember thinking to myself, ‘why would he get into trouble just because he was black?’ It was in fact that both boys

Children and young people can now learn and understand about different cultures and beliefs through the media and within their own school and by talking openly and positively about race, religion, ethnicity and cultural comparisons and differences will only benefit children in their understanding and development of a healthy social attitude.

Overcoming stereotyping is a challenge educators can encounter when it comes to ensuring that teaching strategies are appropriate for culturally diverse children. Some educators may compare one child to another child that comes from the same cultural background and use the same teaching strategy. One way to overcome this is to make sure that educators know each of the students individually instead of comparing one to another or relying on stereotyping. “To truly engage students, we must reach out to them in ways that are culturally and linguistically responsive and appropriate, and we must examine the cultural assumptions and stereotypes we bring into the classroom that may hinder interconnectedness.” (Teaching Tolerance, 1991) Once they know more about each of the students then they can avoid stereotyping and adjust their teaching strategy to meet the individual needs of the students in the classroom.

Today, becoming culturally aware at an early age will create more conflict in the future regarding racism. Teaching that we all are all different from one another will only do each other harm in the long run. If Americans do teach multiculturism, the minds of younger children would evolve to think it would be awesome to be a certain race and uncool to be another. It is important for students to understand that it is okay to affiliate with different cultures and learn from them. To learn from another is to grow as a person and be successful in life. According to the past, when racism was prominent in society, Americans are actually doing well in becoming more diverse. More people are learning how to work with others and respect others’ ideals.

At an early age, children are actively thinking about race. Although their thoughts about race are not as advance compared to those of adults, their juvenile observations and opinions establish a foundation of future stereotypes and biases. When children become attentive to racial differences, the results can either be rewarding or damaging. The origin of racial attitudes among the younger demographic remains unspecified. A correlation between parenting styles and children’s racial attitudes has been considered the primary source, however, multiple research disproves the common belief. While parenting style has a strong impact on children’s racial

I, David Brearley am very much against the Virginia plan. I believe this method would block out the smaller states, and the bigger states would make all the important decisions. I do not think slaves should be counted as people if they cannot vote. I do however support the New Jersey plan. This would make each state have an equal amount of power.

1. I do believe that large pharmaceutical companies as well as doctors prescribing opioid medication should be held partially responsible in cases when patients are over-prescribed drugs. Although they are in no way actually forcing those patients who are over-prescribed these drugs to misuse them and it is ultimately the fault of the individual misusing the medication, they are, however, allowing for the the misuse.In regards to pharmaceutical companies, I think that they should be held responsible for marketing and allowing such drugs available to virtually the mass public opposed to only those that need it in order to increase their profits. If they would not advertise the medication to medical professionals as something that they could

Coming from a diverse community to a predominantly all white community has been a slow transition. I’ve experienced situations where sometimes I question my identity and who I really am. I’ve experience microaggressions within my work environment and my internship at the Boys and Girls club in Mckinleyville. Kids are extraordinary, but are a mirror image of their parents or adult figures present in the household. You can see by the way kids talk to peers or adult figures, treat one another, that there’s an unfair thinking being embedded in their cognitive development. This will affect them in how they go about their day, who they chose to interact with, what they allow to happen and the type of

If we could find a way to narrow the influences that affect their thinking, then we could possibly not have to worry about prejudice. Until we are able to teach children that we are all the same regardless of our skin color, religion, gender, etc. there will always be prejudice. By instilling the values that we are the same, prejudice would not be an issue. However, the past is what has made these parents the way they are today. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, therefore these parents and peers need to try and be better understanding that they are raising impressionable children. We need to break the chain and stop the

Dr. Tanghams involvement thus far has been minimal. We just launched the ASP today. The purpose of the meeting today was to fine tune implementation efforts. This was the first meeting that Dr. Tangham attended and she was fully engaged. I have been conversing with her as a sidebar the progress of the teams efforts in the implementation of the program. The goal in doing this was for the team to outline member responsibilities and define Dr. Tangham’s involvement with the program before inviting her to the first meeting, since she is so overwhelmed with her current patient load.

As we read through the case of Robin Henderson, we can easily understand that this woman had a rough childhood where both parents were abusive against her, both mentally and physically. Various methods of abuse from her family members led Robin’s psychical health to a few disorders, like dependency on alcohol and bulimia nervosa. Together with these disorders she had a suicidal mind and urge for hurting herself. Numerous instances of suicidal gestures and self-inflicting multiple cuts and burns made Robin’s consider her being “too dangerous” to public and herself. Hopefully, her family and husband were supportive and wanted Robin to get well as soon as possible, so Robin’s husband accompanied her to her first meeting

Dr. David Stone has recently begun seeing his client Alli. Alli began seeing Dr. Stone 4 sessions prior, and in their most recent session brought up her discomfort of being in the room. She felt that she would enjoy therapy more if they could go to the park or go take a walk and have therapy. Dr. Stone decides to talk to his supervisor before replying to her. His supervisor tells him that as long as the park is private and that she is aware that her right to confidentiality could be lost if people overhear, then there is no real issue. Dr. Stone decides to tell Alli that they can go to the park. During the next session, they discuss why Alli wants to go to the park and she discusses more that she feels cramped and anxious in the room. She complains

Corporal Che Atkison noticed that a young woman in the police station's lobby one morning. She had several bags and a baby girl with her. Corporal Che Atkinson asked the woman how she was doing. The woman replied that she was doing fine. However, Corporal Che Atkinson knew that the woman was not telling the truth.

In my first high school I was one of only two students in my class who had a parent who was black. As a teenager I have been constantly bombarded by blind remarks and questions of “What ethnicity are you?” “You have an exotic complexion” “You have a very Pacific Islander vibe” “Are you from Hawaii?” and “Are you hispanic?” Though these questions may seem derogatory to some, they never bothered me. This is because one of the most important lessons my parents taught me was to be proud of who I am.
