Cultural Potluck Analysis

Decent Essays
The Cultural Potluck was a great way to kick off Diversity and Inclusion Week here at the College of Pharmacy. SNPhA worked with APSA, HAP, SPRN, and Pharmacy Council to encourage student involvement. We had a plethora of participation in terms of the number of students who showed up and the variety of dishes brought. It was beneficial having the opportunity to mingle with fellow pharmacy and medical students outside the classroom, while learning about each cultural dish. Having so many (ph)riends and (ph)ood was an integral part of fostering cultural diversity through peer to peer interaction.

    My Own Cultural Clash All parents have high hopes for their children, they want them to become a: lawyer, doctor, engineer, or something along those lines, most adults just want their children to be successful. My career was practically chosen for me as early as the 3rd grade. I stood above everyone in the crowd, literally, I was 5’4”. I’m tall and black, so everyone had assumed I was either heavily into some kind of popular sport, but stereotypically the question I was most frequently asked is “Do you play basketball?”. What made it even worse is that my mom expected to me play basketball, in fact that’s what she would tell my whole family.…

    My residential community has had a great impact on me. The community provides an ideal atmosphere to meet a variety of people. Not only does the residential community promote diversity and inclusion, but it has also granted me the unique opportunity of leading in a college atmosphere. After arriving at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I started spending most of my time in the lobby because my room did not have air conditioning. While in the lobby, I met a racially and geographically diverse group of people.…

    These experiences encourage student growth, character development and mimic real life situations. The effect diversity has on a campus is instrumental in setting the tone and culture for both its internal and external community. Culture is the “social fabric of community”, implying that as groups live and work together they develop distinctive “philosophies, ideologies, values, assumptions, beliefs,…

    There’s multiple ways that Texas A&M could help produce a campus climate more inclusive, and obviously some are better than others. Nonetheless, I think that sometimes simple solutions are the most effective. Food is huge component of culture. Eating together often brings people together and can be used to introduce different cultures to people. For that reason, I propose the expansion of Latinx food within campus.…

    While analyzing the required text for this week there were five ethical categories that reoccurred through each document: responsibilities to parents, collaboration, community, personal development, and students. In addition, there are other categories, but these are the most significant to me. Special education teachers have a responsibility to parents: • Use culturally appropriate communication with parents and families that is respectful and accurately understood (CEC, 2010). • Actively seek and use the knowledge of parents and individuals with exceptionalities when planning, conduction, and evaluating special education services and empower them as partners in the education process (CEC, 2010). • Respect the private nature of the special…

    Before this course had initiated I measured myself as a person who was conscious of diversity and embraced the term. To my dismay I soon apprehended that I was not as open-minded as I had presumed that I was. Although, I had attended a multi-cultural school during my adolescent years that exposed me to different ethnicities. I had not developed a culturally competent way of thinking until I entered into Wayne State University’s School of Social Work program this fall. During my tenure at this diverse school I cultivated personal relationships with a multitude of people from different races, who possessed diverse beliefs and religions.…
