I Am A Student For All Intents And Purposes

They 're everywhere! McDonald 's hamburgers can be purchased in cities and suburbs, on riverfronts, in college football stadiums and in discount stores. There are fast food restaurants at most major road intersections, and billions of dollars are spent annually to advertise everything from fast food frozen yogurt to kid 's meals. Grocery stores have even gotten into the act with their own versions of fast food restaurants. Families with sick children can stay in Ronald McDonald houses located close to the hospital where the children are receiving treatment, and businesses routinely come to the aid of disaster victims.

Children tend to have an easier time assimilating than their older counterparts; children are quickly “Americanized,” which can clash with expectations from their own culture. For example, an “Americanized” child may become embarrassed of wearing ethnic clothing once adapting to the designer clothing environment of American youth. Children also learn English at a faster pace than their parents, which taints the parent-child dynamic. Children with disrupted or minimal school education are suddenly thrown in a new educational environment. Various immigrant children struggle to keep up in class, due to different academic standards across different countries. A kid with a poor education may be overwhelmed with an American education, which has a reputation of being top-notched. Those who are unable to speak English, find it impossible to keep up with their peers, parents also may not have the education or language skills to assist their children. When my sister Mavis came to America from Ghana, she was in the 4th grade, she ended up having to repeat 4th grade because she knew almost no English and could only speak

I would advise Carolyn to study the makeup of our changing nation and evidence of this as seen in our neighborhoods. She should make an effort to learn more about the new cultural groups moving into the community and school so that she is informed and better able to serve the changing community. It’s not enough just to know which groups comprise the community, but she should learn the customs and provide communication in different languages as well. However, it’s not just Carolyn that needs to make this effort, her staff needs to do the same and purposely include all groups within the school atmosphere. The knowledge that the school leaders are willing to make an extra effort to learn about different cultural groups, new students, and their

An impressive 16.2% of students in the Federal Way public school system self-identify as Hispanic (U.S. Census, 2013) [primary]. Of these students, 23.9% are foreign born (U.S. Census, 2013) [primary]. These students are often multilingual, switching to Spanish when home. In fact, 32.4 percent of students speak a different language at home (U.S. Census, 2013) [primary]. It should not come as a surprise that language is a major component of one’s culture. Most American schools place a heavy emphasis on

As an educator I would be concern that a student speaks in simple langue given that

However, when you are in a foreign land where most people don’t speak the same language as you, it may be hard. Even though Puerto Rico’s national languages are Spanish and English, and they teach English in school starting in primary school, depending on which part of Puerto Rico, students will have a difficult time communicating at school. There will be a language barrier that will not allow students to understand social and cultural concepts in the classroom. For example, if a Spanish speaking student read the word “football” and mistakes it as futbol (soccer), there will be an issue. Another example could be if the students were learning about the American Presidents, the Spanish speaking student may not know who they are because they most are not relevant in Puerto Rican history. These two examples display cultural/contextual scenarios that can be, and most likely are, potential issues for immigrant

The child that I studied is my younger brother Richard Bui. He is 15 years old and is a sophomore at Albert Einstein High school (10th grade). His friends mainly consists of other high schoolers around his age and also children who attend the same church as Richard. He is very active in sports and extracurricular activities in school, so his social skills are very good. Richard is the youngest child in his family, and his parents are Vietnamese immigrants. Because his parents were Vietnamese immigrants who came to the U.S after the Vietnam War, his father and mother were not fluent in English. This means as he grew up through the ages 1 to 4, he spoke mostly Vietnamese even though he was born in the United States. However, after attending school,

149) students like Morteza become reliant on the teacher for the correct answers instead of trying for themselves. The teacher needs to encourage these students to come to an answer, even if it is incorrect. There is also the issue of understanding or becomes unclear about the tasks. The teacher must demonstrate clear instructions, use gestures that an EAL/D student may understand or make use of physical models so it is visually understood. (Davis, 2016) Earnest, Joyce, Mori and Silvagni (2010) (as cited in Derderian-Aghajanian and Cong Cong, 2018) say that race, religion and cultural discrimination towards immigrant students [like Morteza] are negatively stereotyped. In order to better understand these differences, the teachers are suggested to learn about the student’s culture and history. Students who are born in this country but speak a different language at home are referred to a bilingual. Students who are exposed from a young age to the dual-languages have a rich variety of contexts, some even mix the vocabularies and grammar of the two languages when speaking, this may occur at home as modelled by their

A student that comes from Mexico to the United States will encounter many challenges that won’t only involve the fact that they wont speak the language. Culture it’s everything in a person it determines how a person behaves and thinks. There is an enormous deferens between the culture in the United States and the culture in Mexico. Mexico is a very poor country where the lack of resources is very height. Some Parents of the children that are coming to the United States from Mexico may not have had educational opportunities available to them. Some parents are probably illiterate, which deepens the communication gap between school and home, making it difficult for them to help their children with their school assignments and to adjust to the new school.

Please find below the list of courses that I have undertaken since joining the business:

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the application of Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Model of Nursing to clinical nurse practice. The central thesis of the paper is that Orem’s theory has strong utility for application to modern day clinical practice and can be applied to most any case in order to attain the desired medical and caring outcomes. The presented discussion will support this perspective of Orem’s theory.

David is identified as a 16 years-old Caucasian American. However, after performing the interview it was discovered that he was Bicultural.

I am the only child in my family. I am the apple of my parents' eye. My mother gives me all the things I want. However, my father looks solemn. He never talks too much to me. Maybe he is busy all the time, and maybe he does not like to express his feelings. For this reason, I can remember all the things that happened between my father and me. A hero, he affects my whole life.
