Care Teacher
Aspects of culture and diversity studied in the
course:
Shared beliefs, language, religion, differences etc...
The aspects of culture and diversity that have been
omitted:
Abilities and disabilities, social class/economic level,
sexuality/gender
I think each individuals
definition of culture and diversity remained true to what was studied in this week’s
resources. When I looked at the aspects omitted
from our topic I realized I only entered my gender and not anything about other
omitted aspects. I will look at my list
and consider my abilities and economic level and sexuality.
Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteI really liked the different definitions that you got. I think that what is often left out when talking about culture and diversity is looking at it through the lens of one family or an individual having a unique culture. As we have seen through identifying our social identities, culture is so complex. It goes so much deeper than I ever thought.
Great post Cynthia!
ReplyDeleteThis assignment was an eye opener for me. It is amazing to see the different perspectives about the same topic. This reminds me how much we have to respect each others opinions as we all think differently. This does not mean that my way is better or less than your way. I have to respect the differences in the people around me. I enjoyed reading the different variations from the people that you asked. Although they are different they are all correct.
