    Comparing The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe

    Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family. As the pages of my favorite childhood story flutter through my fingers, memories of fantastical worlds flood my mind. I begin to read aloud about the four children, sent away to a mysterious house and the wardrobe that transports them to a magical new land. The tale is just as enchanting as I recall, but this time through the story, the magic I appreciate most is not found in the pages of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.…

    Analysis Of What My Bike Has Taught Me About White Privilege

    Growing up as a mixed kid who can “pass” for being white has given me a unique view point, where I am able to see both sides of being privilege and not within the matter of seconds. An example is how I am treated compared to my father who is one hundred percent Filipino. My dad’s physical appearance is different than mine due to the fact that his skin is much darker than mine. And I have noticed that people will speak and treat me differently than they would my dad because with my paler complexion I appear “friendlier”. There have been multiple studies and ever personal testaments of people talking about these types of scenarios that have happened to them.…

    Racial Disparities In Mental Health Care

    Racial Disparities in Mental Health Care and Ways to Avoid Them Since the 1960 's, studies have shown that racial disparities in mental health care have been prevalent in the United States. Even though more attention has been placed on these racial disparities, there is still a substantial difference in the health care and treatment that racial minorities receive when compared to white Americans. Institutions, however, such as the University of San Francisco, California, have developed new ways to help doctors realize their own prejudices when working with patients (Dembosky 2014). Thus, there are a numerous amount of ways that a physician or doctor limit the prejudices they face when handling a patient with a mental illness.…

    African American Mistrust

    1. What stood out to me most about the African American cultural group was reported suspicion of the medical community. I understand African Americans have higher death rates when compared to other ethnic groups because of socioeconomic factors, but it never occurred to me that some within the groups could have mistrust of the medical community. After reading the books information on the Tuskegee Syphilis study I can really see why mistrust can exists. One could only image the number of medical mistreatments African Americans have been victims of in the past few centuries, I think mistrust is entirely justifiable and even necessary given the amount of racism in the county.…

    My life has been affected by race, class and ethnicity everyday in different ways. Each category has affected my life in different ways, but they are a major part what makes me who I am.

    Essay On DISC Assessment

    Having never taken the DISC assessment before, I was unsure about what to expect. I thought it was fairly accurate in many ways, but I felt that it very much tapped into what I consider my “work” self and did not cover much of who I am outside of that. I scored a high average score on the D spectrum. This seemed accurate, as I am relatively competitive overall, I like looking at the big-picture, I don’t mind taking risks, I can be critical of those that don’t measure up to my standards and I am very interested in new and innovative things.…
