My strength in vocabulary was still as high as it was while my ability to transition had improved quite well, though my ability to create a well styled paper was still suffering.

    i. Identify and discuss THREE cultural issues entailed in the healthcare series. 1) The first issue that leapt out to me when watching Worlds Apart: A Series on Cross-Cultural Health Care; Part 1 is the idea of how western medicine needs to treat the dying in an intercultural scenario. Western medicine practices reflect the belief in the importance, dignity, and sovereignty of every individual. Because of this, every person is entitled to patient autonomy and self-determination (Samovar, 2010, p. 381). The reason this mindset can cause problems is because not every culture prescribes to the notion that every person is an island unto themselves.…

    I learned that culture can have a huge impact on the way people live. After reading about "The Case of Lia Lee", I found it interesting that her parents believed that seizures were caused by supernatural spirits. The doctors disagreed with Lia's parents beliefs and diagnosed her with epilepsy. Lia's parents did not want her to take any medicine prescribed by the doctors. They believed that her soul was taken by a supernatural being and that she could have spiritual powers to become a shaman.…

    Adding more additional information, making sure my audience haves a more developed and informative background to assure that there is an understatement of each topic addressed without any loophole or misunderstanding of the contempt used to give enough knowledge for the reader to at least be vaguely educated adequately for them to get a full understanding. Then when it comes to improving my vocabulary for it not to sound informal or favorited I choose to be more subjective, using more indirect words that put together show my knowledge and interest towards the subject without indirectly trying to adduce the audience to like the subject as much as I do. As well as pointing out negative variables of the subject. This South Korean boy band’s…

    It feels like so long ago when I first began this English course. I can remember being so excited about the class topic, racism and social justice, which I felt that I had a lot of passion for. Little did I know that I would have to gather up even more enthusiasm and passion to be able to continue writing papers about the same topic all semester long. This course has tested my endurance, and at many times my patience, and for that I am thankful because I know in the end, it has made me a better writer. Despite various minor challenges this semester I believe that I have put in the hard work that it takes and I have achieved the course goals and will complete this class feeling fulfilled and accomplished.…

    I consider it absolutely intriguing how the dictionary is constantly changing and that the words that are added to it can be old words that might have new definitions or they’ can be new words that are used in everyday life. Like in everyday situations like texting and emailing for example. It is certainly entertaining to learn about how the dictionary works, and to recognize that there is a person who approves the words that are put into the dictionary, and it makes me think about what their thinking process is behind concluding what words should be in the dictionary and how they should be defined. I also liked that the podcast emphasized the fact that the English language is continuously growing and changing based on the societal views that are present at that moment. Words are also based on the youth and the young adults that are the future of our word and the words that are now more commonly used reflect the way these young adults speak.…

    Throughout the entire book a sense of separation is woven throughout. A main conflict and theme in The Help by Kathryn Stockett is racism. The white people manipulate the colored people, they are their maids, and they are merely seen as the help. The colored men and women are not viewed as humans with feelings and valid opinions just as objects and people that can cook and clean. So when people think that they are better than another person because of their race, their skin color, or their social class there will be contention and problems among people.…

    English classes have always been a required course in all of my years in school. As a student at Granada Hills Charter High School I have had the pleasure of having four different English teachers all with distinct teaching styles and assignments. It is in these classes that I have evolved as an English student, and discovered aspects about English that I do and do not enjoy. In my freshman year of high school I had a teacher who would begin each class by giving us fifteen to twenty minutes of individual silent reading.…
