I also strongly agree with the fact of interacting with other races or cultures because I believe that you could learn a lot from others and that could make you a better person. The more you accept and understand others, the more positive and successful you are. In addition, we should also accept the sexual orientation of one another because not everyone had the same sexual experiences and sometimes you do not even know the origin of the other. I understand that God did not create us to be attracted of the person of the dame sex, but we also have to understand that you cannot blame or discriminate someone because of their sexual orientation
Politic is not something that I am really into, but you still have to get some knowledge regarding what is going on in the world and by knowing the past you know what to not do in the future. So many crimes happen because of discrimination and prejudice in the past that you cannot be thinking about acting the same way and all of those misunderstanding to others are related to politics.

Every teacher is different and all of them have a way of teaching. Some of them explain so good that even if it is a material that you are not interested in, you will still learn with some kind of happiness. But others make you hate a class just because you do not learn anything and the teacher do not make you feel comfortable in his class environment.
That computer teacher that I have is one of the ones that you will never forget no matter what because your learn what you supposed to and even more and you also have that respect from that teacher that make you feel comfortable and yourself even though everyone in the class is different.
Reflection Paper 14
It was almost the same situation with the migration of Haitians in the United States. After a long time under dictatorial government, the Haitians had find a leader which they had believed in, but even this leader name Aristide could stay in the country because it was a chaos, people were killed everywhere and for no good reason. Because the population was asking so bad for the return of this leader, the Americans did not have any choose unless bring him back to the country, but that did not make anything better. Haitians still migrate to the United States because they could not find a better life.
This lecture make you see things better and make you see the reality between those poor countries and the United States that it consider a country of support for most of us.

Reflection Paper 16
On the order hand, there is the word intersexuality which means for a woman or a man to have both sexes. To illustrate, some people were born with both sex and it will be up to them to decide which one they would have to keep and sometimes their parents are the one making the choices for that person since he or she was a little child.
Those lectures teach me a lot about gender and sexuality and I know someone can be so different from another one in their sexual life, but sometimes it is not what the person really want but instead what the person was born with.
Reflection Paper 15
In addition, when it was the time of queen and kings in the world, the existence of homosexuality was always there even though they were still faking it. In the lecture, I relearned about the definition of homosexuality which is mostly divided in 2 categories. First, there is being gay which mean for a guy to be involve with another guy. Second, there is being lesbian which means for a girl to be involved with another girl. There are also other sexual orientations and one of them is being bisexual which is for someone to be involved with parties, man or woman, it is also consider as part of homosexuality.

Reflection Paper 12
From this lecture I learn that I should not hate other groups of people because everyone is equal no matter what cultural differences that we have. I also know that I should teach my children and my students how they should treat others because the violence is not going to change anything, it is only pain that you are causing to the other. It is not only killing somebody that is a crime, the way we treat the other person can also be a crime

Reflection Paper 11
I am sad, I feel bad reading about a type of prejudices that we did not do anything about, we let all those awful things happen and it is afterwards that we see it and wanted to do something about. Even though it was the war, couldn’t we make the survival of human kind our priority?
Reflection Paper 10
Prejudice has been there for a long time, some people always taught that they were superior to others and they made and are still making other people feel so inferior. For a long time we had white people using blacks as slave, Jewish were killed, we had so many prejudicial things had happen all over the world. I do not see the point of feeling more than another person, for me all of us are equal and we should consider everyone the same, but it is not what happens. Some parents teach to their children that they should not talk to somebody that does have money; others teach their children that they should not date somebody that is black, people move from neighborhood to other just for not liking the race of their neighbor. It is so ridiculous how people react and when your parent teach you those things either you take it and you become like them, or become a better person by not taking those prejudices values from them.
Some things we are born with them, others we learn them from parents, school and church and when we get older we are the one that have to make the right choices for ourselves by choosing what is good or bad for us.

Reflection paper 6
According the author, Facing Mount Kenya was a document in the anthropological of literature, and was considered as a valuable key to the organization of the African society and their nature. It is not only a formal study of humans’ life, but a work of considerable literary merit. In Addition, the author showed how compassionate those people are and the values of their life.
From the lecture SITTING QUIETLY REVEALS CROCODILE'S TRICKS, you will discover different stories on how those African man acts with the wife and children and also it will give you an image of the actions and personality of their wives. Also you see in the story how a child act and his actions are so unconscious.
Reflection paper 9
Freud’s theory also talks about Structural Model which includes id, ego, and superego. By id I meant everything that a new born does unconsciously in order to satisfy his or her needs. By ego he meant everything that you know how to control and, you starting to know what are right or what are wrong. Ego should be the strongest in anyone life. By superego he meant that the individual had knowledge over ethic and basically wants to analyze every situation.
Freud also mentions the Topographical Model, which talk about the conscious and the unconscious. The conscious is everything that you have knowledge of doing and the unconscious is everything else in you life that you have never experience or that you do not know about.

On the other hand, Matthew Arnold's critic Tylor view of culture of being one love of perfection and the study of perfection; and he also stated that the cultured person is one who knows the best that has been said and thought in the world. There were also other definitions of culture about people style, personality etc…
The second lecture of this week talks about the second part of transformation context. This transformation context is the one that deal with our growth and with our growth comes our culture. In addition, the way we communicate, the way we act, and the theory that we put in practice. Culture is about accepting your origin and the others too, it also believes in who you are by believing in yourself first. If you do not have a culture it is feeling like not have an identity that is how important culture is and that is what those lectures are trying to make us understand.

Reflection Paper III
Paradigm shift which is also call revolution of science is a term that was created by Thomas Kuhn in a book that he wrote in 1962. That book was subject to describe the theory of science and it is also in contrast to his idea of normal science. According to the author, science is described as a series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectual violent revolutions. All those things that we discover and created in this world, we are the one that create the evolution of the word and that is what paradigm is about. It is also our perception of things, our inventions and our cultures. Culture, religion, gender, and occupation, all of them of are object of our paradigm, but on the other hand paradigms shift only deals with the scientific part which means invention of electronics or any kinds of inventions that men kind could create.
God is also part of our paradigm because we learned from time to time how to control our actions, which means what is good or not and what we should do or not. God is also part of our way of behaving.
Reflection Paper II
It is not only human that transform animals also have their way of growing. For instance, we could have an egg right now and a couple a months later it becomes a fly which means everything can transform from one thing to another, like the weather, plans etc… That is why Webster stated that transformation is an act, process, or instance of change in structure, appearance, or character; a conversion, revolution, makeover, alteration, or renovation. By renovation he meant the fact of repairing, alteration means making one thing to something different, makeover means improving ones appearance, revolution which is the change of a situation, and recovery which means recap from something, it could be change of religion or political view.
On the other hand, there is the transformation creating contexts which talk about self-concept, self-confidence and self-esteem. Those context are things that create our personality, it is like its part of us. To illustrate, self-concept means the way we see thing and analyze them. Self-confidence means the confidence that we have in ourselves and it make us realize our goals most of the times and self-esteem have to deal with our emotions rather we believe on them or not.
Reflection Paper I
Secondly, I learn about the invention of wheel. Find ways of transportation is something that human created and made in practice long time before the existence of Christ. And by reading those lines I realize how important the invention of wheel is to us, since the technology is increasing every day.
Researches show that language existed long time before writing, but we cannot separate languages from writing because without language we will not have the creation of writing. Writing is not only about what we type or print, but it is about all the images, the sign and the objects that make wring possible. By reading the history of writing, I discover that before the words that we type today were created, signs were the only type of writing that existed. For instance, if we go back to Egypt we will see all the picture writing input in the walls in order for human to express themselves and make other sees their values and objectives.
Finally, I gained a lot of knowledge from those readings because even though I learned about the history of the word and everything that come with it when I was younger, by reading and writing about it make me more captivate about history. And as a pre-teaching intern, I have to know the human history because I will have top teach my student about them. To illustrate, if I have a student that come to me and ask me any kind of questions, I will know that I have the answer for it. In addition it is not only about teaching your student, but teaching yourself before everything else and I feel so comfortable knowing that I learned from those lectures.
