respect ones culture. We also must design sessions based on family wishes and be mindful of culturally sensitive practice (NZSTA, 2012). By expanding our definition of culture and applying it to the wider factors such as socioeconomic status, religious groups, life style and food preferences we will be able to provide a culturally sensitive, holistic…

Racial and ethnicity issues have always been a topic of discussion, and these are issues that need to be improved upon. Race and ethnic issues concern inequality and diversity. Racial issues and ethnicity issues have always been difficult to handle, and manage. I envision a future society, my ideal society, in the United States to have more tolerance and allowance. Allowing others to live the life they choose, and respecting their choice, even if it goes against your personal views; while also…

Theory deals with seeing one group as being mistreated unfairly. It can be defined as proposing that each individual or group struggles to attain the maximum benefit, (Tischler, 2014). I chose this theory because I feel like it relates well to the joke. African Americans are not treated fairly in our society. Even after we had the first African American president, there was still hatred among this minority group. A minority group can be defined as a subordinate group whose members have…

A couple things that Senegal does beat the other West African nations is religious and ethnic unity. Senegal has three primary ethnic groups the Wolof (43.3%), the Pular (23.8%) and the Serer (14.7%) (Un.org. Accessed on June 2, 2016). The country is primarily Muslim with about 94% of total population (Un.org. Accessed on June 2, 2016). With such a high portion of the Senegal population…

the ok one. But, I wasn’t ok and it wasn’t until 2 years ago that I learned it was ok to not be ok and a lot of siblings felt the same as I. I joined a Facebook page, The Addict’s Sibling, which acts as an online support group. Suddenly I was surrounded by others…

Race is a common factor when commenting on a person who is trying to define who they are and identify themselves in a group of people. The fact however lies that race is not a biological concept as stated by and is rather a social perception. The way one chooses to identify their race and who they are as a whole plays a part on who they are and sometimes even their social class within the life they live. Through racialization and racial formation both in and out of the Americas even Susie Phipps…

secondary. Agents are extremely helpful when studying sociology or just people in general. A basic definition of primary groups would be: “made up of people who have regular contact, enduring relationships, and a significant emotional attachment to each other” ( 176). For example, family is a primary agent. Primary agents are considered the most important, while secondary groups are “made up of people who interact in a relatively impersonal way, usually to carry out some specific…

Most of the participants stated that they had observed no differences. However, there was one participant that had observed some inequities of other ethnic groups by their administrator. P7 was one of the participants that felt her principal treats her just like all of the other teachers by stating, “I have not encountered such. My administrator has always treated me the same as my non-African American counterparts.” P1 was very to the point, with no elaboration on the subject, “No.” P2…

unintentional discrimination that is said. People are quick to make assumptions about certain groups. They do not always realize what they are saying. It tends to be simple ignorance. This of course is not an excuse. At Lee, I do see that whatever ethnic group we have tended stay together. It becomes almost a base of sorts. I do not think this is any form of discrimination. It does not mean they do not mingle with other groups. Individually, everyone has his or her own mix of friends. I think…

Section III: Muslim Separatism and the zero-tolerance attitude from central government After examining the cultural and economic perspectives, we shift our focus to the most fundamental issue. The importance of religion is beyond question in studying the tension. China firmly establishes itself as a secular state; in fact, it has very strict policies to restrict the power of religion and their leaders. On the other hand, Muslim has long experienced the problem of radicalization. Xinjiang is no…
