Aria In the short narrative which is excerpted from the book titled “The Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez”“, Aria” Richard Rodriguez talks about the diversity between private and public language growing up as a child. Richard Rodriguez in addition speaks on the subject of what he gained from learning to speak the English language and what he lost by gaining this comprehension. He argues his principle that bilinguals be on familiar terms with what separates personal language and public language. On the other hand, Richard Rodriguez feels the pain and struggle that comes in the midst of being a person who does not speak the public language. The difference stuck between public and private language with the aim of Richard
Ever since I took classes where I learned about various countries and their cultures, it has always been my dream to be bilingual. In so many places around the world, children begin to learn English at a very young age. This has always been very important because the United States is a very powerful independent country, unlike many of the smaller countries with failing economies. This brings me to one of Gonzales’s main points, that immigrants don’t want to come to the United States, but have to for a better life. Many people think immigrants are willingly “taking over” the United States, but I agree with Gonzalez.
I also enrolled to help me determine if I want to join the Air force, and I know if I do wish to join the Air force I would need all the values and qualities that JROTC teaches to their students. I’m also trying to surround myself with positive peer pressure rather than negative peer pressure. I look forward to this class because I know that it is going to be very challenging and demanding. The class should help me to focus better on my education and life. You need structure to keep things in order and to keep chaos down.
This is change is crucial to a person establishing normalcy in their life. The assumption that personal choice is used to establish identity may be difficult to argue against the assumption about identity coming from culture. Culture can play a minor role in creating one’s self as states in the essay, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”, Gloria Anzaldua, (p.77)“I, and all Chicano students, were required to take speech classes. Their purpose: to get rid of our accents.” The accent is part of your culture, your culture is part of your identity. Even though her mother wanted her to speak English to blend in, it was the authors’ decision to hold onto both
Our American education system is only postponing these students from entering the real world. These changes would force young adults to work with people of all ages, and no longer be constrained to the typical high school environment (Source 3). American high schools need to step up their game as they are merely falling behind. By abandoning the large emphasis on testing the students will learn the information for good and not just for the test. Incorporating more relevant information into the curriculum, will allow students to become more interested.
Multiculturalism’s Five Dimensions Dr. James A. Banks on Multicultural Education The article presents the five dimensions of Multicultural Education, and how teachers can help transform the world by giving equal opportunities to all students and create positive racial attitudes. New information and relevancy to my personal life - As many teachers I thought multicultural education is mostly a matter of content integration and the extent to which teachers use content from a variety of cultures and groups to illustrate key concepts, principles, and theories in their subject area. In certain subjects, like social studies, there are more opportunities to integrate ethnic and cultural content, so it is difficult to see why learning about multicultural education would be relevant to all teachers. After reading the article I understand that content integration in the curriculum is only the first dimension of multicultural education.
To end this "tangent" of how I truly felt about the movie, I would like to focus in on the good parts of what really the story was about. That story was to focus in on the students who were in need of education, and not the typical reading and writing portion, but also the education of confidence, happiness, and well-being of the students. The one part I took away from both the film and the book is that once again one man can change a young group of students. To finish off the reaction essay, I would like to answer the last question that was asked, about how I saw a portion of the film and how I really saw it in my mind. I wanted to focus in on one portion when beanpole and his friend are in his room, and the detail of the leaky roof, the wobbly desk, and the bed without a mattress really allowed me to materialize in my mind what I thought of this tiny room.
This segment can be more closely defined as pre-teen, teenagers and young adults who tend to be concerned about their physical appearance. Proactiv’s strategy is for their product to have national and international reach, so their customers come from all over the US and abroad. People who might purchase Proactiv will rely heavily on testimonial information before making their purchase and require a high amount of information prior to making a purchase. Part of Proactiv’s marketing strategy is to reach their target through celebrity spokespeople such as Katy Perry, Julian Hough, Jessica Simpson and other young Hollywood starlets; they serve as product endorsers and ‘satisfied customers’. The product is marketed as one-of-a-kind, claiming to stop acne breakouts before they occur; Proactiv promises you’re your acne will disappear.
America is one of the most diverse countries in the world because so many people immigrated to the United States in the past in search of new opportunities. Immigration is the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. People from all over the world travel to the United States for a better life. Without diversity, the United States would not have the culture it does to this day. America needs immigration because immigrants help to develop new ideas, a diversity of culture, and they founded and helped to create the United States.
This in turn gives them a better appreciation of the role research can play in solving marketing decision problems. The case is also very useful in forcing students beyond the narrow perception that many bring to the study of marketing research, namely, that it primarily consists of asking appropriate target groups how they behave, feel, and so on. A study of the perceptions and attitudes of eligible males toward the Big Brothers program might certainly be called for in this case. At the same time, it is only one of the research alternatives that might be appropriate. The case typically provides some interesting discussion when students are pushed to specify how they would go about collecting some information class discussion previously identified would be useful to the leaders of the Big Brothers program.
