A way this movie can relate to this class would be the diversity issues of race, and gender. In my Cultural Diversity class we learn a lot about diversity in race and gender and what causes it to take place which can lead to your values of families back then.

After the end of The Immigration Restriction Act 1901, an unprecedented number of immigrants has shifted to Australia from diverse cultural backgrounds, which accelerate the expansion of Australian multiculturalism (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2011). Among all the immigration groups, along with the Europeans, labourers and business people from Asia countries have shifted to Australia to promote the Australian globalisation, and brought their cultures into Australia.

As I recently wrote my autobiography, I was able to reflect upon and gain a better understanding of my life and the influences that shaped my character and beliefs. I then composed a biography of an individual from the Chinese culture named Faith. Writing her story has given me the opportunity to gain a great deal of insight into the influences her different culture has had on her development. There are kindred attributes and stark differences when comparing our two extremely diverse cultures. Nonetheless, I am convinced it is within the differences that subsist between any cultures that the greatest value and benefit to society will be realized. A comparison of our ethnicity, culture, gender, and socioeconomic status is listed below along with an explanation of the benefits that are achieved when our cultures interact, learn, and work together.

My Mom giving birth to me has been such an important inspiration towards me wanting to pursue a career in medicine. She had to have a C-section because she had placenta abruption, which is when the placenta detaches from the uterus and disables the baby from getting oxygen and nutrients.

This tragic moment led me to appreciate how lucky I am today to have the opportunity to assist and care for woman who are pregnant to prevent defects and have a normal birth. At the age of 10, my mom told me this story and that is when I started to become interested in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology. I got more interested in OB/GYN when I took biology my freshman and sophomore

The United States is home to many multi-racial and multi-cultural populations. With the United States’ open and liberal policy concerning people from multicultural origins, it is inevitable that the country is the choice of destination for many international students. Although opportunities abound for people of multi-racial origins in the United States, it is undeniable that challenges also pose a threat to the smooth transition of international students to the American lifestyle.

Every culture has its own views of health care, diseases, and medical interventions. The way people of a given culture view health care affects how they handle themselves when they fall ill. For instance, the Asian culture believes that illnesses are caused by supernatural phenomena, which should be diagnosed and treated by means of spiritual healing or traditional herbs.

In the typical educational setting, there is a tendency for students to exhibit classic behaviors relating to their own culture and upbringing.
