Roles And Images Of The First Video

interactions for students as possible. Yet, I am noticing (over the last few years) students

Before taking this course, I was plagued with a sense of ethnocentrism (Robbins and Dowty, pg 9) that I was not fully aware of. I had initially believed that I was

Students need to feel comfortable in their classroom during all situations. Teachers can plan multicultural activities to create a community in the classroom. Chapter 1 includes examples of activities that promote acceptance and allow the student’s to learn about their classmates. For example, students can compare the similarities in their lives, students can roleplay situations that aren’t familiar to them, and explore generalizations. When students compare the similarities in their lives then they can develop a sense of connection to each other. A connection allows the students to create a friendship and a safe place where the students feel comfortable sharing information about their personal lives. Roleplaying situations helps students understand situations that they might not experience otherwise. Roleplaying is a good way for students to express themselves in different situations. Students can explore generalizations to help minimize stereotypes. Generalizations can be harmful, and a teacher can help students realize that generalizations do not encompass the whole

As I quickly skimmed the room, I was relieved to find a wide age range of students. Though the majority still looked pure with an absence of worry and concern, I did not feel out of place. Body language can speak louder than words and it was comforting to see something expected and familiar. I loosened the grip on my backpack, slowly eased into a seat and observed.

The social observation setting that I chose was a play area in the indoor shopping mall in the city were I reside. There were approximately 15 children (divided equally among genders) of various ages, accompanied by several adults’ most likely parents or family members. Although many families and children are not originally together, when facilitated in a common play area, social interaction develops. The children seem to group within similar ages, which developed into three noticeable groups. Some of the children were brothers and sisters, however as stated before many of the children had never interacted before. Although my wife granddaughter (who has Asperger’s syndrome) was in a different area of the shopping mall, I observed the groups

For my social observation paper I attended a high school football game and observed how students interacted with fellow classmates, namely students from other schools, teachers, and parents.

Introduction to Social Psychology has been an enlightening course that has greatly deepened my understand of individuals and their interaction with others. It has introduced me to ideas that have always been in front of me, I just hadn’t noticed or learned them. Psychology has taught me many things about human interaction, including the importance babies’ eye contact, how we judge others based on information we know about them, dissonance theory, attribution error, and obedience of authority. All of the aforementioned topics affect the way individuals act with one another. The importance that others have on our development cannot be understated. The topics learned in this class have helped explain many life occurrences I was curious about prior

The Breakfast Club, produced in 1985, is a famous film about five strangers who at first glance, seem to all be extremely different. Commonly referred to as “the criminal, the princess, the brain, the athlete, and the basketcase,” the students all have distinct personas. However, as the movie progresses, they discover they all have much more in common than they had previously thought. As a former high school student, the concept of the movie is relatively familiar to me. Communicating between strangers, bonding with other students much different from yourself, and forming of new friendships are all situations I have witnessed firsthand. Throughout the movie, communication and the formation of relationships prove to be main focal points.

1. I was very surprised how the man treated the woman in the video. My initial reaction when the man asked the woman where her “people” were from, I felt that was very disrespectful. However, I enjoyed how she was able to take when he said and repeat the same thing back to him. It was funny how she took the characteristics of his family background and made him feel uncomfortable. After watching the clip, it made me more aware of the common stereotypes of different cultures. Whenever we see a person who looks Asian, we tend to stereotype them to get a sense of where they are from. Maybe they are from China, Japan, Korea, or another part of the Asian culture. I believe these types of interactions are common. My mom has an accent, sometimes when I am out with her or when a service repair worker comes to our house they ask where she is from. I can admit that I stereotype in my mind when I see a person who looks like they are from a different country. However, I have never vocalized stereotypical thoughts. It is always surprising when an individual proves a stereotype to be wrong.

In the final chapter of the book, the author divided our potential targets of interactions into three main categories: kin, in-group and strangers. Generally, these categories correspond to three major forms of

Student was able to make good eye contact when speaking to others. she also demonstrated good listening skills, and good visual skills during the group therapy session.

In the video, the character we focused is Sheri. She was in the prison and has a crime for murder. She go to jail when she was thirteen and she have to get fined for twenty-eight years in the prison. She lived with her mother and stepfather. They regularly beaten her, that’s why she leave her house and lived on the street. Sheri has no chance to make money, it lead to she going to stole money and sold drug. One times, when she went with her boyfriend and occurs an innocent crime for her. The people that you communicate, the affected to you. Black when near the ink, bright when near the light. Sheri’s story combines all example of sociology, such as: different association, structure train, anomie, strain and labeling. First of all, we need to define what does it means. Edwin Sutherland coined the term differential association to indicate this: From the different groups with which we associate with, we learn to deviate from or conform to society’s norms. More clearly, the different groups with which we associate give us message about conformity and deviance. Base on the Sheri’s story, the evidence support for different association that Sheri is too young, but she already have a boyfriend and she join in her boyfriend’s group. Three more years, she has become an adolescent. Strain refers to the frustrations people feel when they want success but find their way to it blocked. It is easy to identify with mainstream norms (such as working hard or pursuing higher education) when

As different race has different cultures, students may not behave identically in class. For instance, middle-east girls whose have faith in Islam would wear turbans all the time. Students should understand and admire cultural differences as to develop cognizance of others’ cultural beliefs. Once they appreciate others special culture, they can communicate well at school and improve interactive connection between one another. Belinda Luscombe (2011) points out that students inclined to have friends who have different beliefs, morals, attitudes and behaviors compare to themselves. Through greater social mobility, an immense social group allow students to make friends easily. In a culturally diverse class, everyone has their special personal characteristics so that everyone is attracted to one another. This can help students practice interactive cohesion and improve social

Before baseline data could be collected, video footage of Roger and Dylan engaging in social interactions with their classmates was collected two weeks prior. The video recording took place over the course of 3 days and 1 hour and 30 minutes of footage was collected. The participants were often prompted by their teacher to engage in positive social interactions with their peers. Later, the videos were edited so that prompting and all inappropriate, negative, and ineffectual behavior was removed. The result was three video clips approximately 2 minutes long were produced for each participant. The editing was done by a member of the research team.

For my observation I observed a group of teenage girls that came into my work (Starbucks) every day for a week. This group of girls seemed easy to observe because they go through a pattern of sitting in Starbucks on a daily basis, and it was the same group of girls every time. The way they interacted with each other was very energetic and enthusiastic. Their facial expressions and body language clearly showed that they were comfortable with each other and interacted similarly. I went in and sat in the cafe to observe them the days I wasn’t working, and interacted with them as a worker the days I did.
