For my cultural project, I decided to visit a museum for my cultural experience. Museums tend to present information in a straightforward and understandable way, which I thought was the best method for me to learn about another culture. The museum that I chose was the American Swedish Historical Museum. It interested me that not only did the museum promote the Swedish culture, but also the Swedish-American culture. The museum, first established in 1926, is the oldest Swedish-American Museum in…

During my foundation year of the MSW program I provided individual counseling services to a 23-year-old female patient at Kaiser Permanente. This case summary analysis and reflection paper is based on the sessions I provided to this patient. During the intake session, the patient reported she was admitted into the emergency room for a total of three times in the last 3 months due to persistent panic and anxiety symptoms. The patient indicated that she began to excessively worry about "the…

was when the viewing started. Friends and family members appeared. Many of the family members from my dad’s side I had never seen before were there as well. I stood at the front of the funeral home and was told to greet the people who came in. I hated being the greeter because everyone kept hugging me and telling…

“911, what’s your emergency?” “Help me! Please there is a man with a gun and he’s trying to break into my house.” a women screams hysterically into her phone. The 911 operator can hear the women struggling to hold a door closed in the background. “Help is on the way and will be there shortly.” the 911 operator tells the women who is fighting for her life. What the operator does not tell the women on the phone is that that help will arrive in 10 minutes. As the operator tries to communicate to…

It went a lot faster! I had extra time to also brew a pot of fresh, delicious iced tea, too, and set the table! I called the family down for lunch and we all ate and talked. My husband is a big tv person. It’s always on, which drives me a little crazy, especially at meal times. So, I really appreciated just having family time. Jackson, of course, asked to watch a show but I said, no, that we were going to just eat our lunch today and talk. He left lunch pretty fast to…

changed from the Leave it to Beaver, nuclear family of the 1950s and sixties. From the suburban household with a husband at work, wife at home and their children, playing in the front yard. Brought upon many changes in the past couple of years to the staple of the nuclear family. Yet the traditional family still survives today, only to integrate and become a category among the varied families that now shape the new American society. This melting pot of families has emerged out of decades of…

reinforced by everything we do. There is not excepting it. There are many things in our world that are starting to make a change in how we see it can really be more destructive then helpful. We see it in how we talk and converse with one another, how our families are formed, and what classrooms look like today. I believe more behaviors are endorsing gender norms than challenging them. Language is something we learn at a very young age, what we do not learn is that it is filled with gendered…
