Perspectives on Diversity and Culture

In this week assignment deals with culture and diversity I was able to talk to people about culture and diversity on their definition about the two. One said that culture means to her is a certain environments clubs, church or the atmosphere that a person is around. Another person said that diversity to him means a different personality, judging, diversity if option of sorts of different people types of things. I was at my job and one of the teacher did an example with the children about an egg she had the student to look at the egg as whole and then she cook an white egg and a brown egg. The teacher as the children to taste both egg and tell her if the egg is the same or is the egg different. The children tasted the eggs and told the teacher that both of the eggs tasted the same. The teacher explain to the student that the students are the same people but have different color of skin. The children understood as he or she interacted with one another.
The information that I gain about culture is what a person do daily such eat, sleep, the language that he or she speaks, a group of people who has values, belief, rules and expectations for their children. Listening to other people about their definition of culture and diversity or the same some are deeper than I thought but have the same understanding that I have about diversity and culture. I have to understand the both and understand why children have it hard when he or she are in a different community then their own.

My Family Culture

In this week assignment I learned about family culture and what to look for among the diversity culture. If my family was among a major catastrophe and how no final destination and I were told that our host country's culture is completely different from my culture, and I might have to stay there permanently. The country tells me an addition to one change of clothes, I can only take 3 small items with me. The 3 items that I hold dear to me that represent my family culture would be my bible, family album, and my family music. The reason why I would take my bible because it is my instruction that I live by each day it guide me to do what is right. My photo album I would take because it has memory of family members and friends that have pass away and the ones that are still living that I can remember and treasure the good times together. My family music I would take because I like music and I like to hear my family sing and other gospel artist this is one of the things that keep us together because my family like  singing and playing instruments. If it was a change and I were told that I could only keep one personal item and I had to give the other two items it would be my photo album because it is dear to me because I have special people in my photo album that has help me to be where I am today so if I got discourage all I would have to do is look at their pictures in think about the conversation that I have had with he or she would keep me encourage.
