changed, what used to be a fathers role in the 1970 's is now known as a mothers role. The communities seems to have been friendly and acceptance with other ethic groups. My person opinion is that not every community seems bothered by the difference of those groups. The different ethic groups just had a revolution over the way they were being treated and their rights which they were fighting for. The communities seemed to have much more freedom which is why when you compare the drug, alcohol and…

Each individual has an identity in relation to other individuals, communities and most importantly the world. This identity is developed by how an individual views oneself and the world and in turn how the world sees them. An individual’s identity changes from the amount of power an individual has in relation to other individuals and groups. Through shaping your identity your power changes along with your relationship to others and the world. Notably some identities you’re born with race, gender…

same as this course when I was studying at King Saud University. Doubtless, the topics that I had in that course were similar to some extent to what we talked about during this semester. We were totally concentrating on the understanding of our community needs and how we bridge gaps between our museums and its audiences through reinforcing the educational role of our museums and making them more accessible for people with disabilities. Yet, today, the educational role in our museums is not as…

Agres by her colleague David Fuertes from Kohala and then she attended training facilitated by Bob. That was the beginning of her Community Connections, a nine-month capacity building training for community-based organizations or community members with ideas on how to support their community but unclear on how to act on them. That was also Jane’s introduction to community based economic development (CBED), which she doesn’t have a clear one-sentence definition of it. Her introduction was an…

However, out of all the definitions given, each one is related to a common set of ideas that a community, based on thousands of years of history and human interactions, is made up of unified groups of people in a specific area that that often share common interests and interactions with one another. Therefore, this is what constitutes a community in a generalized…

Community Settings for Family Health Nurses Family nurses work in a number of diverse settings, including schools, occupational sites, public health departments, physician offices, family homes, and community nursing centers. Even though the populations vary with each setting, the family nurse uses the same concepts and principles altering them to fit the needs of each family or group.

A social issue that greatly affects health is the ever expansion of poverty among minority based communities, such as South Los Angeles. The concentration of poverty creates many barriers to health for the people that inhabit these communities by cutting off their communication with community resources and supporters that could yield beneficial outcomes. Sadly, a loss in communication with external supporters of urban health makes it extremely difficult for those with limited resources (e.g.,…

the community. I had the privilege of helping in the Sabre Garden which had various different jobs for everyone to do and help participate in. The Sabre Garden is just one of the many things that helps the community in a great way. It also ties in with civic engagement and I felt like I made some progress with getting together with many other people and working together. The Sabre Garden is a community garden for anyone to help with and volunteer. The main way the garden helps the community is…

volunteer is a person who performs a service willingly and without pay. Some benefits of volunteering is it can help you reduce stress, make friends, learn new skills, reach out to the community, and advance in your career. The volunteer program I picked is Habitat for Humanity, they partner with people in the community, and all over the world, to help build and improve a place to call home. Their vision: A world where everyone has a decent place to live. I chose Habitat for Humanity because I…
