In Culture, what it is, they talked about having a variety of cultural experiences, to realize someone’s full potential and to fulfill their worth. I belief that this is true, you can’t only look at a perspective from your point of view. There are other people who are of different culture who have a different point of view, they might not agree with what you’re saying but that doesn’t make either one of you wrong. What we experience is how we see things through other people’s eyes. Luckily I grew up in Miami which is the most cultural city in the U.S. I can’t imagine walking in other peoples shoes, but I do see things the way that most people couldn’t pin point to save their life. I learned that there is no point in feeding someone your way, because just because it’s the right way, doesn’t mean it’s their right way. Like a math problem there are many different ways to solve an equation, and just because you didn’t solve it their way, doesn’t mean your answer isn’t right. The two theories in the, is it culture, if it’s the object who makes the product or is it the value who makes the product. In my opinion society has come out with many objects some useful others, not so useful. I don’t believe an object can make the product, because in production, you will encounter many objects, but why does this product last? I don’t consider value in, how much the product is worth, rather how long this product will last me. People are stingy with their money, and they don’t like change. So how do companies get their money, they make a product with great value, meaning a couple of years, and then continue to come out with objects that make the product value to increase. That way, you don’t see the change in the value, you just see more objects for your value, to increase your style of living, because although we are not use to change, we like change in our everyday life, it is something we look forward to. As for the transformation, creating a context, it’s not whether you have a solution to the problem or not, because people don’t want to hear what you have to say. This is their way of solving problems that might be created within the way you solve a problem. What ever needs to be done has to be done their way, whether you know how to do it their way or not. This cuts out the middle man, and leaves no room for change, just improvement of a way of living, whether it’s complex or simple.

Human Diversity Reflection 8
This all comes down to Nature vs. Nurture really, the thing is the way you were brought up is what your parents wanted you to see, and what your parents thought you could do without for a couple of more years. What your parents install in you are morals and understanding that the life isn’t such a great place, but no matter how badly you mess up in your life time, their will be people who support, cherish and love you no matter what your decision is. Now of course along these guidelines are some called for good spanking because discipline is part of growing up. There are responsibilities as well as consequences for your actions, so choose wisely. Where as the media gives you life, when your ready for it or not, it doesn’t explain why you or given it, or what you do with it, and it sure as hell doesn’t help you out with it. It wants you to take life by the horns and run with it, what you do with it, isn’t really their concerns, and if you live or die, it’s just another person who wasn’t fit to survive in a world so young. I believe parents bring you up with compassion and morals. They teach you what is right in their eyes, and how to protect yourself from others. Where as society throws life tough lessons at you, and if you can’t deal with them, then why are you standing there, type of deal. I sure as hell didn’t learn gender roles only from one party, your society, the media, and my parents play a big role of who does what and what should be done. Though everyone plays their cards a little different, and nothing is right or wrong in a world where you make the rules.
I believe people are defined by what's in their mind and not what they are physiologically or actually. A girl can kiss other girls for attention but that doesn't make her gay. She would actually have to like girls in her mind to be gay. Her actions don't speak for what's really in her mind. So if in your mind you are a boy, then you are a boy. I think that everything we do and act upon is all in the moment, of what we think. If we linger over something for so long, and tell our mind how much we miss something, then no matter how bad or good that person is we will continue to miss that person. Society has taught us to think Barbies are for girls were hot wheels are for guys, also that woman are house wives, and men bring home the cash. Society makes you think that’s how things are suppose to run, but your family can show you different alternatives. And even so it can be also seen the other way around, were your family installs sexiest beliefs in you and you see different from what the media has to say.

The Nou Led, Nou La experience was quiet moving. I kept contemplating over each piece whether it was a poem, a life story, or the way they played music. It wasn’t a judgment factor; it was more of an interest in their factor. This was my first time attending an event at Miami Dade and you can tell that when a country needs help we are will to lend a helping hand. Some poets and writers expressed sorrow and appreciation for the help. While others didn’t quiet see the Haitian movement as a down fall. Now of course this was a tragic matter, there is no doubt about that. But not everyone see things from a negative perspective. There was one lady there, whom I cant remember her name, but she gave an extraordinary and different perspective on the whole Haitian dilemma. Her words were that, everything happens for a reason. Whether what you experience is, good, the bad, or the right and wrong. Things happen so you can learn from the situations, and grow as a person. Now no one wants to be apart of something as tragic as Haiti, but what Haiti encounters allows them to grow as individuals and as a country. What Haiti witness from their desperate time, is the willingness people have to help them, they are not our country, but they are still people who are in dire need of support, donations, and a lot of spirit so that they can continue moving on day by day. Before the writer, a band was playing Haitian music. And I came to realize that not everything was about poor Hatit, it was more about, yes, that did happen, now lets try to rebuild ourselves and try again. And I believe that’s what the music did to the people in the audience. It wasn’t feeding us their culture, it was showing how people we tend to mix music with an uplifting spirit, and with unhappy times, we need music to motivate us to look forward. Showing us that times are bad, but we can make them good. Even though there were some high spirits in the auditorium, the truth of the matter is that what happen, happened. People died, cities destroyed, and now everyone has to start from scratch. Another writer lost her baby brother due to the earth quakes. What happen is real, and its extended its hurt, it pain, and its suffering through the whole world. So not only should we help with donations and sympathetic talks, but we should also give power to our lives. To say that we are here today and we will still be standing here tomorrow.

I don’t think anyone would of liked to be on of the little rock nine, just the fact is that it would change what we are and we would have to be put into their perspective of what they see and go through. Rather than what we’ve been through and what were still going through. Regarding to reacting at the sound of carrying guns to school, I believe that is a safety issue and it should be taken seriously. Having a gun for protection is protecting you, but what about the other side to a story? You can protect yourself because you know how to use a gun, but what about the people who don’t know how to use guns? You have students carrying guns just to feel safe, but what if danger does come by, people are going to be shooting other people because they fear for their lives. Carrying a gun has death written all over it, because people make mistakes, and people get them selves into situations that causes death, and unfortunately guns don’t kill people, people kill people. The thing is no one wants to see you go places where they haven’t gone, and do something with your life, because the truth is that they want to do the things you’ve done, and they want to go to the places you’ve been. This just means that you are advancing you are becoming something of yourself, and no one likes a little competition, especially competition that comes from, out of your element. People aren’t use to change and the truth is you really don’t get use to change. You are either born open minded, go through experiences to cause you to be opened minded, or you don’t accept things that you stand to believe aren’t true. When people holler and scream for you to get off the street, that’s the fear that they enforce in you, so you know that you’re not welcome. Depending on what type of person you are your embrace the challenge and move on to your dreams with a few pumps on the road. But knowing society, people get the best of other people, are reactions are caused by other peoples actions. Society has a great affect on people, and I know with my characteristics I am easily drawn into fear, and will easily be scared out of a place with the worst intentions. I look up to the people who have the courage to stand up to society and their judgmental aspects, and I look down on society members that feel its okay to judge a book by its cover, and not by what they have to offer.

Rites of passages are important because its people’s beliefs, its how your family brought you up, and it is what makes you who you are today. Rites of passages aren’t discriminated between what’s right and what’s wrong, just like believing in your own religion isn’t right or wrong. Your belief is what you stand by, its how you were brought up, and the only way you know when you are young. Rites of passages don’t only happen in your religion or culture; it also comes up in society. A rite of passage is a memorable event, which will forever change you as a person. Whether its getting your high school to diploma, tell getting married, these are rites of passages. Can you label these rites of passages wrong or right?
If not, then you shouldn’t be able to label Facing Mt Kenya, Sitting Quietly, and the Sambia rites of passages as wrong or right. In Facing Mt Kenya they discuss that their rites of passage doesn’t begin with male circum session like we are use to. Instead this task is design for young girls. It is a painful process for young ladies, they go through a surgical procedure were they cut the nerve were the woman gets all the pleasure from sex. This is rites of passage that every girl has to go through, the ancestors take special privilege in working on the procedure to make sure things are done, right. This isn’t that the girls have the surgery and get it over with; it takes time to prepare the girls to have this surgery, putting them on diets. They also have a celebration for the girls who make it through the surgery, and they have a healing process for the young ladies. As for sitting quietly this rites of passage is primarily towards the young men in the village. These boys have to go through fierce training; no I’m not talking military. They are training to be fearless, and stand up for themselves, because no one is always going to be around to help you out. Men are suppose to be fearless and are suppose to be tough, to concur any mission that lies ahead of them, with courage and capability to be a leader, their own leader. During these rites of passage, they don’t only torture the boys; they also torture the boy’s mothers. It’s okay to see your boy go in a child and come out a man, but would you feel differently if your boy came in and never came back out? As for the Sambia article, this rite of passage affects both young woman and young men. The women are given such power within their bodies that they couldn’t even dream of, and of course don’t know how to use these powers for good. They are brought up that woman are used for house chores, sex, marriage, and baby making, in the words of today, a house wife. Were as the men don’t have the power at their feet, they have to constantly be working for their power, they have to be the man of the house, constantly bringing home the money, bringing home food, and be build into a strong and brave man who can defend his family as well as his village. This is not only what makes a man and a woman, but this creates the future and generations to come.
The rite of passages is related to formal education because education isn’t something that you just grow up knowing. It isn’t implanted in your brain by birth, and your parents tell you to run off and go figure out the world with it. Education is about learning, step by step and day by day. We aren’t only learning how to read, write, solve solutions, and blow things up. But we are learning why the world goes round, and how we are apart of this world. What makes us significant in this world? I believe that the rite of passage is part of the education, what characterizes who we want to be, and how we can contribute to society. That’s all education is, learning more about us, and what we like. So at a certain place and time, when were ready, we have to go out there and show society what were made of, and what we can contribute to it, give back to it, what it gave us.

I believe that you can never be well-prepared for diversity. It is an ongoing learning experience that takes years to master, with plenty of knowledge to learn from through your experience. Life is full of lessons, once you’ve learned your lesson; you then will be greeted with another lesson to be learned. The experiences I have gone through that have made me understand and become aware of diversity are first being introduced and associated with gays, and lesbians.
My best friend in the sixth grade came out of the closet, during high school. This to me was quite a shocker, yet I was raised to have an open mind and even though this was relatively new to me, I didn’t have a negative reaction. Now most people say, that it’s fine for their friends to be gay, as long as they don’t hit on them and keep their distance. Well I got the best of both worlds. My best friend was a lesbian, and my best friend first hardcore crush was, me! The day she told me, I was taken back, I never realized that she was a lesbian never mind saw me in that way. She began to tell me how much she liked me back in middle school and how when we always hung out with my boyfriend, she wished it was her and not him. Even though she went through tremendous pain keeping it a secret from her friends and family, she also realized that she couldn’t make a person like her. It doesn’t matter if your gay or straight, if the person doesn’t like you there is nothing you can do about it. So, that’s what she did, she moved on. She realized that I was happier being with who I wanted to be with, that all she wanted from me, was for me to be happy. I know this sounds like a happily ever after, but as the years continued so does growing up.
My best friend continued to be there for me through my high school years, and while I was carried away with the boys, she had wrapped herself in her own love story. My best friend fell in love with the girl that helped her come out of the closet. The good news is that this time, the girl was also a lesbian. As the year went by, they started talking, and eventually kicked the notch up to dating. And we all know once you start dating that where the trouble lye’s. Her girlfriend now wasn’t just a lesbian, but she wanted to become transgendered. This is the story of our lives, once we have successfully completed something and getting what we want, everything changes.
Both of these girls became my best friends at one point or another, through the drama, conflict, and misunderstanding, everyone was able to work out what they wanted. Not everyone got what they wanted, but they did get an important life lesson out of all of these, and no life lesson is ever the same for each of us. This shift has taught me about diversity is that nothing should surprise you, everything goes off a little but in reality it’s the same understanding as you and I. A lot of people don’t understand how gays and lesbians have a relationship, but it’s not any different than us. We all still go day to day sometimes year to year trying to find someone we are compatible with to date, they go through the same things. In a relationship, they have fights, they have sex, and they have trust, just like we do. The difference is not what they do, it’s who they are. But we can say that about an African American dating a White woman, it’s not wrong, it’s just not common, and that my friend is diversity for you.

Paradigms are comparing a problem, based of a variety of series, which all lead up to the same outcome. Yet sometimes it doesn’t lead to the same outcome, it can also mean that, your theories allow you to make your assumption, but your assumptions might not be equal to the assumptions of another person. You can have as many theories as you want to allow you to help make your assumption, and your assumption doesn’t always equal right or wrong, as most people would think. If the person has a theory that make perfect sense, and if you add it up to an assumption that is valid, than their solution is correct. A paradigm isn’t how other people view you problems, its how you view you problems, and the theories and logically ways that you come up with, that help you solve your problem. This isn’t necessary the right or wrong way; it just helps you cope with how you deal with the situation.
As for a paradigm shift, this is when a person creates a challenging solution to problems, that he must create a solution by himself. He can create a solution that goes above and beyond the original problem, because of further problems dealing with the same solution. A paradigm shift, allows us to see multiple problems and solutions at a time, but that doesn’t mean we handle every problem and solution now. The problem and solutions are for later dates, which still conflict with the problem that you are facing today, but months from now, the problem will come again, with a different solution. What we get isn’t always what we see, when we write things on paper they make sense, but it usually takes time for us to experience the things, that later on in life we understand why they happen.
Yes, I have had a paradigm shift; I think everyone has had one without realizing it. The paradigm shift I had was, when I was younger everyone kept telling me to let go of a situation, because it was harmful for me to hold on to something that was lost many months ago. Instead of letting go, I continue to try to savior the relationship, while my partner was trying to end it. At the end it wasn’t me who let go, it was him. I began to think about the past, and why things ended the way they did. I also tried to allow myself to grasp onto what happen, and what was the cause of it. At the end there were many solutions to my problem. Yet, there became more than just one problem. At the end, I knew I could only handle one situation at a time, and the rest will unravel due time.
It’s important for teachers to experience a paradigm shift, because not everything is going to happen right here, and right now. Things come and go, but other things happen at a later date. No one can sit around waiting for something to happen without taking action. Not only towards yourself, but also towards others, in order to help others you must grasp the concept of helpings yourself, so you can help others. It doesn’t make sense for a psychologist to help their patients, when those their selves aren’t getting treated. So in order to teach what we know, we need to experience, and live through what we know, and grasp the concept, so we can teach others.
As for a paradigm shift, this is when a person creates a challenging solution to problems, that he must create a solution by himself. He can create a solution that goes above and beyond the original problem, because of further problems dealing with the same solution. A paradigm shift, allows us to see multiple problems and solutions at a time, but that doesn’t mean we handle every problem and solution now. The problem and solutions are for later dates, which still conflict with the problem that you are facing today, but months from now, the problem will come again, with a different solution. What we get isn’t always what we see, when we write things on paper they make sense, but it usually takes time for us to experience the things, that later on in life we understand why they happen.
Yes, I have had a paradigm shift; I think everyone has had one without realizing it. The paradigm shift I had was, when I was younger everyone kept telling me to let go of a situation, because it was harmful for me to hold on to something that was lost many months ago. Instead of letting go, I continue to try to savior the relationship, while my partner was trying to end it. At the end it wasn’t me who let go, it was him. I began to think about the past, and why things ended the way they did. I also tried to allow myself to grasp onto what happen, and what was the cause of it. At the end there were many solutions to my problem. Yet, there became more than just one problem. At the end, I knew I could only handle one situation at a time, and the rest will unravel due time.

Human Diversity reflection 2
In A Beginning they talked about different ways society has changed to become who, and what it is today. People think that change comes from technology, or growing up. Even though technology does change a great deal of things, it isn’t the only aspect of change. Also growing up is a type of change, but what makes the difference is what surrounds you that is truly changing? What surrounds us isn’t what change, but how we act towards things, has a great affect on what the outcome will be, and that can change every time. For example, dealing with a problem, how we deal with problems is bases on our past experiences, or what we observe through others, or television. Depending on how you handle your problem, is how your out come will be and how you shift your life to transforming. The problem is that we don’t take kindly to change; we change because we have to not because we want to. It’s the cycle around us that keeps changing and in order to keep up, to survive we must change with it, and that also means when we are in the womb, to becoming a baby, a toddler, a ten, a young adult, and a senior citizen. Another way to transform is by alternating. When we alteration something, it usually to upgrade. We turn something that isn’t so great, into something that is extraordinary, and beneficial. As for the other article creating context, they weren’t talking about our surroundings per-say, they were talking about us and how we contribute to the changes, and transformation. What they talked about was our self concept, which entitles us to our beliefs, attitudes, and our opinions. The way we are entitled to our own opinions and beliefs is also a way that affects how we see other. This is a form of transformation, but it isn’t changed by transformation, this is based on pure society. What society wants, they will get. You are no different then the person next to you and you will find someone very similar to you. Your beliefs are someone else’s; because that’s they way society has raised you. In order to form a belief you have to gather a group of people to believe in your same ideas to make it work. Another personal issue is your self-esteem. Depending on your self-esteem it makes you who you are today. Whether it is good or bad, how you see yourself is how you view others, whether it is in a negative or positive way. Everything is changing, whether we like it or not, and sometimes we don’t even notice the changes when it happens.

Human diversity reflection one
I learned that our species can only evolve from here. It’s not that we choose to stay stupid, but we grow to learn more, each and everyday. When humans learned the use of fire, their brains grew bigger. It’s not because we learned how to make it; which did help us in the long run. But the way we used fire to benefit us, helped us evolved as a greater species. We learned that fire was a great substance, but how we used it is something entirely different. We used it to monopolize us as a greater species. Instead of being at the bottom of the food chain, we had a fighting chance. We used fire for our convinced, for warmth, and to survive. Having fire also allowed us to hunt; this was the greater deal for us because it shaped us to becoming who we are today. We weren’t only hunted by animals; we were also hunted by each other. Man and man can meet every single day, but every single day they train to be the best, and destroy who ever are weak. Hence when we saw uses for fire, we saw uses for physical usage of ourselves. Once man invented the wheel, our brain had function in an entirely different way, it wasn’t the use of our body to over power each other. It was the use of our mind, to give our body a break, and work other areas so that everything is equally dominated to be powerful. As for the history of writing, connects with inventing the wheel because, they use a creative path for us to not only challenge ourselves physically but also to challenge our selves creatively. Being a pre teaching intern, this information is useful because of the insight of the pass. We constantly are trying to beat each others, and reach our maximum power. In doing so we need to exercise the rest of our brain rather than using physical damage. We must be well rounded to cope with society, and adapt to their needs. There for our past inventions have shaped us to use not only physical strength but also creative techniques to defeat our component. We learn not to defeat anyone unparticular, but just to survive, as the human race. We are taught, power, love, and restrictions. Yet we are also taught manipulation, hatred, and defeat. What we have in front of us our tools, we can use to get what we want. Just how we get there is up to us.
