If you’ve read the book The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, you probably are thinking of similar questions that I am. I’ve always wanted to know my purpose and task in life, so I decided to explore “Personal Legends” a theory from the novel. In this research paper I will enlighten you of everything anybody would even want to know about Personal Legends. The process of finding your Personal Legend can be a long and confusing trail, but starting the journey now could have a new meaning of life and how you live it. A Personal Legend in this day and age is simply defined as: “ones blessing; the path God has chosen for you here on Earth”.
I think I added some parts to my speech in the moment that were not in the plan without even realizing it. Next time I hope to be more fluent with the wording of my speech and to keep it simple so I am less susceptible to stress build up throughout the day of the speech. I got more of a reaction from the audience with some parts of my speech this time around, which was one of my goals from last time because it strengthens the connection between the audience and I. I think some of my classmates may be able to relate my mission trip experiences to their own lives, which promotes active listening. Peer critiquing is the key to active listening and I remember the speeches that I peer critiqued more than any
Checkpoint: Culture Shock Crystal Castillo SOC/120 January 17, 2013 Jennifer Graham Checkpoint: Culture Shock If I were to visit and study the “Yanomamo” I would have to prepare myself for any culture shock that may occur by doing what many people would do and that is to learn about the culture of the people who live in the area. Along with this I would try to consume as much information as possible such as their religious beliefs, what they eat, how they live as well as what their clothing if like. The most common elements of culture stated in chapter 2 are symbols, language, values and beliefs and norms. Symbols are anything that can carry a meaning that is recognizable by people from the same culture. Examples of Symbols are
Assignment 303 – Principles of diversity, equality and inclusion in adult social care settings. Task C- Ci – One challenge I have faced in my work as carer has been when having to promote religious festivals and practice. As an atheist and someone who has never been to church or someone who has any interest in religion I have found this difficult. Just like all people I have been brought up by different people in different surroundings and this can affect the way you work. As it is the morals and attitudes that we are taught that can stay with us through our working life.
Manuel Landa October 15, 2012 Professor Johnson ENC 1101 Disaster at Jonestown Everybody felt they had a purpose going to the Peoples Temple. Some of the people did not like the integration and as a result they were asked to leave. Reverend Jim Jones inspired a lot of college kids and old people. He spoke about what’s in the people’s hearts. They all realized there is something much bigger than themselves that they need to be involved in.
Culture Shock Sherry Green SOC/120 September 6, 2012 Tami O’Connor Culture Shock If I was visiting and studying the Yanomamo I would first learn all I could about their culture. I would try to find out as much information I could on their symbols, language, values, beliefs, and norms to try and prepare myself for their culture. But it may help some but I wonder if I learn everything about them that it would still be a “culture shock” because it is different than reading up on their culture than actually seeing it in person. The only culture shock I can remember is when I was in middle school. I lived in Virginia and we moved a lot with my mother, so at the time we lived in a city called Colonial Heights that this
As we spoke in class last week, one cannot use cultural relativism to account for the differences between races, and can only use it to gage why practices make sense in the cultures that they are part of. For example, the ceremonies performed at the Latipso are among the most bizarre practices of the Nacirema. I did not originally understand why people would willingly go to a temple where so many people die. After further analysis I realized that the Latipso is a hospital, the medicine men are doctors, and the vestal maidens are nurses. To an outsider the hospital may seem like a place of death but from within the civilization it is considered a place for healing.
This fear consists of going to school, going to work, going to worship their God (Allah) without being harassed. It is unthinkable how in a country of Freedom such free acts are questionable due to the discrimination a Muslims faces. Thomas Perez, the assistant U.S. attorney general for civil rights, told the panel that anti-Muslim sentiment has brought a surge last May in the number of federal discrimination cases involving zoning boards and other local authorities that have acted to prevent mosques from opening in their communities. That comes on top of more than 800 incidents of violence, vandalism and arson against people believed to be Muslim, Arab or South Asian, that the Justice Department has investigated since the September 11 attacks. Perez said there has been a 150 percent jump in workplace discrimination against Muslims, often over religious dress and worship schedules, while Muslim youth can often become the victims of school yard bullying."
Welcome and Introductions I was the first one to arrive at the place for the 12pm meeting called “Came to Believe.” Since I first heard about AA meetings, it created an impression that people are not happy at these meetings, maybe for this reason: I was expecting not to be welcomed as an observer and I was anxious and curious. Also, I was concerned that nobody was going to show up to the meeting. After introducing myself to the facilitator, Peter, I found out that it was his first meeting as the new leader of the group. I felt that learning about his anxiety gave me some comfort because I was not the only one feeling such emotion. Demographic Aspects People started to show up to the meeting twenty minutes early.
