My Culture Research Paper

On April 16, 1971 the famous singer Selena Quintanilla was born and her music became popular and is to this day. When she was growing up she had a talent of singing and dancing and by the age of around 10 she became the lead singer in her family’s band called the Selena Y Los Dinos. From there on out she became a popular singer in the Tejano music. She was known as the “Queen of Tejano”. This affected many people, her music was so great that people liked to dance along with her music. There was people who grew up listening to Selena, an example is me, I grew up listening to her music and loved it. I would listen to her music when I got the chance and just close my eyes and be mesmerized by her music. There are people out there today that when they listen to her music they are affected by her singing and just let go and dance to the rhythm.

Numerous studies have been conducted on the need of cultural competency in the profession of speech-language pathology. To ensure correct diagnosis and appropriate services by speech-language pathologist, information and training should be made readily available. This paper examines the availability of culturally and linguistically diverse assessment and intervention information and training for speech-language pathologist.

Completing the personal cultural survey I was able to identify the way I approach my life through my eyes. Since completing this survey I have seen my worldview through my lens and the way I approach people, and my way of life. Furthermore, I have identified that my numbers were very similar to one another, and that my average score was (4). Thinking upon this I was pondering why my average score was a (4) for everything. Maybe I grade myself too harshly or become too analytical with this test because I am a very detailed person.

“Western generational models can not be applied broadly to a global workforce.” (Erickson, 2011, p. 1) The events that shaped the generations in the United States did not necessarily happen around the world. Other countries and cultures have had their own monolithic events to shape their beliefs and character. While events such as World War II did happen globally, not every country was involve in that war and did not have the same experience as say people in the United Kingdom and United States might have had. The potential exception to this rule is the proposed Generation Y and Millennials who have globally had access to the same information due to increasing availability of technology.

Culture, our heritage, our beliefs, our individuality. Growing up our culture has impacted us in a big way. As a child we often feel uncomfortable in our skin, we want to blend in with everyone else, we hide our culture and ethnicity, our roots, to satisfy others. However, the older we get the more comfortable we become in our skin, the more we want to stand out in the crowd, and we learn to become proud and confident in our culture. Culture has that amazing impact on us. Culture influences us in different ways. Culture also provides us with experiences we look back to, experiences that change us, and experiences that make us question. Culture a little part of us, with a big impact.

No matter how hard we try, or how much we study, it is pretty much impossible to become an expert on all the world’s cultures. It is possible however, to be enlightened on a few cultures through some effort and understanding. That is just what we did, through interviewing three people who were raised in cultures different from ours. The following are results from what we learned about different cultural dimensions.

Our sense of self and perception is resolved, and skewed, by a scope of individual and ecological variables that refract occasions and individuals as per what sort of individuals we are, the place we originate from, and the occasions that have formed us. We each see the world through different filtering lenses, so to speak. A person's past encounters decide the way he or she carries on and creates understandings, and sexual orientation, race, social position, family ethos, society, religion, acquired auras, and different variables, all add to the way he or she peruses the world and its kin.

Culture plays an important role in individuals’ mannerisms, ways of communication, and beliefs. Culture takes root long before we even know the meaning of the word. When healthcare providers strive to gain knowledge and understanding about the idealisms of different cultures, they establish a foundation of cultural competence to develop their professionalism.

I was born and raised in Tajikistan; it is a country in Central Asia with very rich historical background and stick culture norms. Actually Tajik society is very interesting to study and analyze, society had gone through steps of serious changes from Islamic state to part of communist USSR and then to independent democratic country all happen only in 100 years. Consequently, women who were born and raised in Islamic Emirate raised their kids in Soviet Union, their children were raised in Soviet Union but now live in independent country, my generation was born in independent country, and we never were under any religious or political regime but in very traditional society.

I am familiar with my culture because my grandparents were able to impose their customs onto my parents and their children. Without them I would not be eating traditional foods, celebrating the Hispanic culture, or be aware of my family history. I am 100% Mexican, and I admire the Latin culture to the fullest. The Mexican culture consists of a tight family, plentiful cuisine, Spanish language, Latin music, and the Catholic religion. Growing up in a Mexican household has definitely influenced my morals, values, and character. Although I remain living in a Hispanic household I sometimes forget how important the culture influences the person I am today.

One of the Cultural Studies Course International Perspectives on Bilingual & Multicultural Education taught by Kelly Ann Witkowski. Our class met on Tuesdays we were exchanged, shared, embrace and analyze an experience of bilingual and multicultural education and create a community of learners responsible for understanding the world we are committed to changing.

Since Elliot is from Puerto Rico, his first language is Spanish. He reads from left to right and uses the same number system and a similar alphabet, other than additional letters with accent marks or “la tilde”. Phonology is actually less complicated for Spanish speakers, as vowels only have one pronunciation, where there can be different sounds for vowels in English. This might cause a language learner trouble as they try to distinguish when to use the different vowel sounds, specifically with a, e, and i. Consonants such as h, j, r, and y may also cause the student trouble as these letters have different names and sounds in Spanish. Another issue Spanish speakers may have difficulty with is distinguishing words that

Culture is a combination of many aspects of life that have been passed down for generation. Customs, beliefs, values and behaviors that become more specified to specific groups that tend to mimic themselves within a group are the broad range themes that come up when one discusses culture. Culture can exist on many different planes simultaneously. Culture is subjective and the way in which specific cultures are defined changes constantly. Researchers Kroeber and Kluckhohn state that “Culture consists of patterns, explicit and implicit, of and for behavior acquired and transmitted by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievement of human groups, including their embodiments in artefacts; the essential core of culture consists of traditional (i.e. historically derived and selected) ideas and especially their attached values; culture systems may, on the one hand, be considered as products of action, on the other as conditioning elements of further action.” (1952, p. 181) This description of culture largely aligns with generally accepted definitions of culture but briefly considers that culture can also be a product of action. I believe that culture is grounded in traditions of the past but suggest that it could not exist without the continued evolution of the key elements that define the concept. For the purpose of this paper I will describe culture as not only the experiences that came before but the enduring and modifiable traits that allow culture to be completely unique

Every country will have a background in religion and culture that the people are living in has always been followed under the threshold of this generation to another generation. What is a culture? Why everyone should live the same culture and that culture has one? What are people thinking about the culture in which they are under? However, culture is what can connect with people and over time it became a habit in person 's life.

Culture is not one distinct commodity. Culture is the integrated pattern of belief, human knowledge and behaviour that has transcended through generations. Māori are the indigenous people of New Zealand. Māori Culture is collectively the beliefs and ideals followed by the Māori people mainly through tradition and legend. The culture dates back to 1250-1300 Common Era (CE) when Polynesians migrated to the ‘long white cloud’ and it has remained prominent to this day due to the practice of Māori cultural concepts. A cultural concept is a ‘non tangible ideal that governs a society and cannot be physically touched’. There are numerous Māori cultural concepts however I am focusing on the three I believe are most important: Mana, Tapu and Utu. I will elaborate on how these cultural concepts are important in understanding Māori culture and society.
