In addition, they are also experiencing class struggles. America is a country, which is made up of immigrants. If there weren’t a great number of people from all over the world move to the US, there wouldn’t be a multicultural and diversified America now. Nevertheless, the differences among cultures cause plenty of conflicts like racism. Those characters in the movie “crash” each other not only because of racism, but also because of the different social class they are in. Most of the characters…
People sooner or later realize that the choices they make could possibly affect them later in life. We notice that as we grow older we are then faced with the most difficult decisions. I had to make a choice when it came to deciding to play basketball or focusing on my studies in order to graduate. Although I was in a tough situation I didn’t want to think that the only solution was to quit something I had a passion for. Sometimes it’s difficult knowing what to do, but you are forced to pick…
In the final section of the course we continued to theorize what African Diaspora is. The authors tackle the question of race and racism, what characteristic makes someone part of the African Diaspora, the importance of the idea of a homeland, and finally the nature of dispersal. Throughout the readings we are given many points of view. Combing every section of this course this information has impacted the way I view certain communities. For example, we cannot just assume that everyone’s story…

Cosmopolitanism aims to dismantle essentialism and transcend individuals into hybrid entities where they can be ‘citizens of the world’ wherever positioned. These individuals live on the margins of societies; showing willingness to cross borders, interact with other people and nations, tapping into the cultures of other climes, accepting particularities, yet, holding on to their peculiar identity. But it is observed that so-called cosmopolitan nations and economies show colonizing tendencies…
Self-care. Self-care refers to monitoring one’s own physical, psychological, social, and spiritual welfare when working with clients. When we are our best, we are most effective in helping clients, however to be at our best we must take care of ourselves. Lack of self-care (i.e. self-neglect) leads to distress, professional burnout, vicarious traumatisation, burnout and impaired professional competence. While research has stated that approximately 15% of individuals who work in a therapeutic…
These two economists believe that most of the research against the minimum wage heavily focuses on the effect on teenagers and not the lower class (Card and Krueger 1995). There example of the focus on teenagers is an article by Brown, Gilroy, and Kohen in 1982. I read that article, and it has a section that focuses primarily on the effects of minimum wage on teenagers, but it also has sections that focus on the effects on adults as a whole and low-wage industries and labor markets (Brown…

The 21st century is facing a remarkable increase in unemployment rate as millions of workers have been permanently eliminated from the economic process and many job offers have become extinct. Brynjolfsson (2011) presented the unfortunate catastrophe about the American Associations after the Great Recession between May 2007 and October 2009. In fact, companies didn’t resume employing, they hired new machines. After the sharp decline in economic activity during the late 2000s, the quality of the…
