Maucker Union Reflection

Art Spiegelmans’s Maus I and the testimonies from the survivors of the Holocaust has given me a more in-depth look at what really happen behind closed doors. The events, and memories each person still carried with them and able to share is so raw to me. I’ve known about the horrific events revolving around the Holocaust and its main objective. However the stories they took me there, I could visualize what they were re-living as the survivors spoke. Even reading the book, its honesty is what I as the reader appreciated. I could feel his emotion as I read the book, the rawness is truth and the truth is very real.

Everyone is likely to experience some form of discrimination or prejudice; as is anyone capable of acting prejudiced towards others. On April 5th, 1968, a teacher in Riceville, Iowa named Jane Elliot conducted an experiment with her third grade class that dealt with the concept of discrimination; and was documented in Peters’ 1985 ‘A Class Divided’. The exercise originally took place the day after Martin Luther King was assassinated. The documentary is an eye opener to the world of racism and discrimination. Bucher (2010) describes racism as “discrimination based on the belief that one race is superior to another” (97). According to Bucher (2010) “discrimination is defined as the

The topic of the meeting was, “School Nurse Professional Development Day”, focusing on school nurse and school health issues. The program was were organized and presented. The presenters were all well prepared and knew their materials. Although, the program was engaging about 99% of the time, but I felt the Somerset County discussion panel could have provided more information instead of just introduction. The meeting was accurate and with the focus on all new information for the 2016/2017 school year.

The first major topic I though was most important was the student safety. For a long time I wondered why the school safey officers didn't carry weapons. The town hall meeting finally put it into a better prospective. Of course students are now concerned with their safety, due to the rise in school

While attending The State of the Black Union I saw how the concepts that we learned in class are still prevalent in our daily lives. A comment that was made during the State of the union address at resonated with me was that College bound is a privilege. Living in the inner cities of Richmond I see this lived out on the daily. Virginia Tech’s efforts to try and reach the unreached population has been shy of their goals. Even with programs like Fall Visitation, Yates program, Gateway program, Access, there are still catered to a particular group of people. Virginia Tech looks at African Americans as a universal title instead of an individualize one. The aforementioned organizations attract those African Americans who are more

A text is the content in a message or any printed material. There are basic ways that are used in reading to make the learner gain, retain, and understand the content. For instance, one way is by applying the top, down, and bottom up strategy; which people use in their native language. Reading involves, previewing, predicting, skimming and scanning, guessing and paraphrasing (Tsai 120).

Moreover, we talked a lot about culture and religion, as well as the costs to make these motions succeed. Many groups realized that some motions were not possible due to funding and other motions passed beforehand. For example, the US government said they would give money to the missionaries to build churches and help the imported laborers, however, as the US government they do not have the ability to give out that money. I noticed that a lot of groups, especially the US government tried to persuade every group to vote for them by making motions that were directed towards everyone. Furthermore, I learned about how different groups influence each other and everyone's minds can be persuaded. For instance, the missionaries changed their mind about freedom of religion which worked in favor of us. This roleplay was a great learning experience and it was also fun to see how involved everybody

Lastly, I would also like to dedicated some time to the veil of silence created by cultural norms and enforced by people’s desire to belong to a group. I want to know more about the shame tactics used by cultural members to ensure adherence to an unspoken set of rules. I believe there is a power that lies in the silence. It’s as if there is a kind of power when it can be put to words and brought out of the silence. I want to know more about how to identify those walls and how to break them down. I find all three of the above topics interesting, and I believe they are each equally important in this field of service. I hope to have time to dedicate to

I have been reflecting over the Battle of Shiloh for about a week now, and I think that I can finally write my feelings. This battle is very important in the war so far. I am extremely proud of my soldiers for fighting this surprise attack. Man, none of us were expecting it! I was such a proud general those 2 days. My men fought as hard as they could, but unfortunately some people have to die. Since I have had a lot of time to think over this battle, I have come to the conclusion that this battle is the most important so far.

Reeve Union Board allowed me to work with 5 different groups on campus. These very diverse groups planned campus activities such as Winter Carnival and Homecoming. These activities involved immense planning and working with many different people to provide the campus and Oshkosh community with safe and fun events. This would help me in Rome because I could help plan group activities and make sure everyone no matter what their personality is has an enjoyable experience.

Diversity week at The University of Akron was held during the week of September 25th, 2017. Diversity week cannot be described as supporting awareness for a particular race, political group, or religion; it was about bringing awareness to all of these aspects with 20 different events being held. The diversity event I decided to attend was called “left right and everything inbetween”. If you could not tell by the name, the event was centered around finding out where your beliefs fit into on the political scale. I picked this event because I think in today's society, our beliefs are influenced a good amount by the media. This event gave me the opportunity to see which political group I fit into best despite the influence of anything or anyone. My experience at this event not only led me to learn about the beliefs each party stands for, but ultimately it gave me insight on how we can all interact with each other despite our beliefs in the government.

The second speaker that I liked the most was Dianne Woggon. She is a staff dietitian and a dietary director. She works in the Wood Haven Health Care and Rehabilitation Center. The first topic she talked about was aging well is a choice. Dianne explained how science is advancing and improving the knowledge and the choices related to living longer. She said that individuals who need long term care are patients with chronic or terminal conditions, injury, disability, trauma, illness limits or emotional needs (4). These patients have limitations that involve the ability to carry out basic self-care tasks called Activities such of Daily Living. These tasks include bathing, toileting, dressing, walking, meal preparation, laundry and cleaning (4).

This week in my field experience I did some module training, some paperwork, and also was able to go with my supervisor as she gave a presentation on the Abused Adult Resource Center to a group called Foster Grandparents. They are a group of 55 age or older volunteers that go into elementary schools and help with the kids.

Part of the AFSCME Union, my father has always said how they helped him get to where he is today. When he first entered the union, he had little experience about being a plumber. Guided by AFSCME in the right direction, he grew in understanding of what it means to be a plumber. Due to the unions support, he started working with Douglass Orr, one of the best plumbing shops in South Florida, to gain experience and knowledge. Consequently, due to his experience at Douglass Orr, he received the distinction of Apprentice of the Year. Now, he has completed his fifth-year apprenticeship program and a licensed journeymen plumber at Florida International University. The AFSCME Union stresses the importance of solidarity. Therefore, if the workers are
