The Act came into full force in the United Kingdom in the month of October in the year 2000. The human rights act of 1998 is made up by a series of sections that have the impact of codifying the protections in the European Convention on Human Rights into law in the United Kingdom. As such, each of the public bodies including courts, hospitals, local governments and publicly funded schools among others are…
This part aims to present my arrival in a new socioeconomic environment. I had already a couple of professional experience, despite an internship in a new country implies other parameters. Indeed, you discover a new area – for me it was the United Kingdom creative industries as well as the umbrella position of the Creative Industries Federation. It is also the discovering of a new position and attributions. For that purpose I will discuss of the intern position which I assume it could be a…
During this unit I attended a primary school to work with some children that are learning English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD). I worked with two children, Z and B. After talking to their teacher I found out that Z had been at the school for the semester and did not respond to any English or try to communicate in English at all. This was slightly worrying as I was unsure how I was going to connect with her. B, on the other hand, had a good grasp on the English language. However,…
Imagine growing up in a household where no one ever muttered a word. No one talked during breakfast, getting ready for school, after school, at dinner, or even before bed. There were no books around to read or a television set around blaring cartoons or educational shows. How would one’s vocabulary develop or increase if that were the case? Now imagine a household where talking amongst family members was always occurring. Parents were waking up asking their children “How did they sleep last…
Fairburn Avenue Elementary is located in a nice and quiet residential area between Ohio Avenue and Fairburn Avenue. The racial neighborhood population of Fairburn is primarily white. What I notice about Fairburn is that the small city is clean and has a well maintain street. The residential homes are all nice and organize. What I mean about organize is that there is nothing laid outside on the grass or any trash. I assume that most of the population is from the middle class because by looking at…
Between racism and acceptance. Between old and new. Between the EU and the U.S. In all things Britain performs this balancing act. An act that often, more often not, than to edges into hypocrisy. They proclaim “Chicken Tikka Massala is now a true British national dish,” all the while alienating and pushing out the Indian population that created said dish. They are all too happy to wholly accept white immigrants,but push against non-white immigrants. Purely on the color of their skin. Continued…

It has improved significantly since the 23rd prime minister of Thailand and businessman, Thaksin, took office in the year 2001 as he aimed at increasing domestic activities and reducing the country’s reliance on foreign trade and investment (Phongpaichit & Baker, 2004). His administration introduced a dual truck economic policy which combined increased domestic activity with…
The 20th century is famous for many things, and the novels that were written during the century definitely contribute to that fame. The novels that were written are extremely important and still relevant in the education system today because of their amazing imagery, interpretations of society, and symbolism. One extremely popular and influential novel of the 20th century was written by Ralph Ellison and it’s titled Invisible Man. The story is about a black man in the 1940s who lives in the…
From Blouvlei to Guguletu Black South Africans, before the early 1990s, were discriminated by and were segregated by the white South African community, due to their wealth and race. They were forced out of homes just to give room for white people, and were forced to comply with whatever a white person said. This had angered many black South Africans, who had to give up what they considered a decent life and instead had to go and live in an even worse condition. In Mother to Mother, SindiWe…
White oppression is present throughout the novel The Street by Ann Petry. White people are constantly holding down blacks, letting them see the privileged upper class society, but never letting them grasp it. Petry utilizes two white teachers in Harlem, Mrs. Rinner and Luties elementary school teacher, in order to show the views of white people that keep African Americans impoverished and confine them to Harlem. Throughout the novel, Petry uses Rinner and Lutie’s teacher to show how whites…
