Culture is shared norms and values and ways of interacting that bind together members of society or some other collection of people together. Across cultures, the classification systems differ, e.g. in west, it is abnormal to hear voices but in some religions hearing voices can be desirable. A lot of diagnosing is to do with social norms, however these can easily change over time or space. The DSM and similar books are often made in western society so they can’t be used correctly in eastern societies making them culturally biased.
I was given the opportunity to read up the policy and procedures of my placement agency and I was also given the induction pack file which contains documents on guidelines of Health and Safety policy, IT information guidelines and my practice portfolio.

Before attending the meeting I read through the child’s case file containing the child’s historical and medical background.
Activists and Native Americans: Two different Points of View N.S Momaday and D. Brown both described a similar landscape, but in a different way. They both use imagery, similes, assonances, imageries, etc.… to convey their overall idea about the landscape. Momaday, a Native American from the Kiowa people, describes the land as a beautiful and peaceful place. Brown is actually trying to show how the government took away the land’s beauty by describing the place as more desolate. Momaday’s text is very complex.
The last part of item A is talking about the distinction between adults and children is becoming blurred again.

Amanda Adkison History 1301 Spring 2012 Dr. Barr European and Native American are two very different groups of people. The differences are very noticeable. In the novel “Black Robe,” Brian Moore demonstrates the difficulties that come when you take a person out of their own way of life and are forced to learn the ways of other groups. The major differences include religion, culture, communication, and their pattern of surviving. The differences between the Native American tribes and the Europeans created huge views of one another.
Professor Johnson N. American Religious Traditions 13 September 2007 Native American Culture Throughout the history of America, Native Americans and their involvement in the expansion of the western hemisphere have been represented in widely contrasting lights. Most of the time these natives have been misrepresented as instigating much of the war and fighting that occurred between the Native American culture and the foreigners attempting to settle in the land. Lately this false image has been corrected through movies like Smoke Signals and accurate authors writing about Native American culture such as Sam Gill, Joel Martin, and Robert Berkhoffer. The movie Smoke Signals gives explicit examples of issues discussed in many of Sam Gill’s, Joel Martin’s, and Robert Berkhoffer’s literature concerning Native Americans such as the significance of storytelling in the Native American culture, stereotyping, and the Native American sense of self and identity. Gill explains that story telling plays a significant role in Native American culture by stressing ideas of moral standards and wise choices as well as romanticizing people and events to make their significance emotionally real, which is impossible for writing to attain.
This adds further realism to the play, with detailed analysis of the way characters communicate. For example, character such as Milly are positioned by Davis to be dignified and proud her cultural identity. Yet others such as Jimmy are carefully used by Davis to add interest to the story by reinforcing and breaking stereotypes. At times he is loud, rude abusive and acts as the white perception of aboriginal society at the time, (and possibly by some today). But Davis goes on to break the stereotype by showing Jimmy is not as ‘stupid’ and undignified as first perceived.
Art 1300 Photography 1 Some Research Paper Guidelines What is this paper “about”? You are writing your paper “about” the work of a photographer (exhibition, internet, book, etc.). You might want to read about the life and work of this photographer (if available), what other people have to say about her/his work, and what the photographer has to say about what s/he was trying to do. However, the most important thing is to focus on a group of photographs by this photographer (at least 5 or 6 works, probably not more than 8 or 10). Conducting Your Research Your research will cover both “primary” and “secondary” sources.
Attitudes When working with Native American clientele, there are many attitudes that are best to be regarded. Many people hold stereotypes against Native Americans, most deriving from the media and television. One of these common stereotypes includes the idea that ‘most Native Americans are alcoholics’. Whether this statement is true or not, stereotypes must be cleansed of, otherwise portrayal of the client may be influenced by a negative stereotype. (Cliff, 2005) When working with this population, it is also important to realize the impact of culture on the individual’s life.
