Practice Awareness of Microaggression At my workplace, I experienced micro-aggression with my coworkers while they dealt with each other. One time my teacher’s assistance pointed to another coworker and said “black people are always living in the past”, and I proceeded to ask her “why are you saying that?”. She replied with “I heard that many times from many people and they also can never get over slavery.” I was surprised how she pointed to others so badly while she did not even hear these points herself coming from an African Amerian. Also, at my workplace, there is a new employee who is a Muslim woman as well. My coworkers have a micro-aggression toward her. One time one of my coworkers asked her about her hijab on her head. The woman was surprised trying to explain and find answers to say. My coworker started comparing between her and me. Also, my coworker added on the top of that I observed Hanadi praying here every day and I never see you pray. The woman keeps explaining to ...

Perspectives on Diversity and Culture To have a conversation with others about their understanding and definition of culture and diversity requires interest from both sides. When I asked a colleague about one word in which to define culture and diversity, she replied that “culture means I, Who I am, and from where I came, and how I will present myself.” About diversity “I believe that everyone has to blend in and understand others the way they are.” The second one said, “culture and diversity is one coin that has two different sides that present a deep meaning about self and others.” The third one said “my culture is my identity, and diversity is how to accept others without judging them” The aspects of cultures and diversity I learned in this course and the other's definition, is about who we are, our lifestyle such as the food, dressing up, different celebrations and etc. Diversity is a big world that we have to share ideas and thoughts about our culture in order to be a...

My family culture To be in this situation is very difficult. My family In Yemen faced a similar situation in 2015 when they had to cross the red sea in Asia to Africa on the animals’ ship to a country called Djibouti because of the civil war. The bombing was following them even they are on the ship. Many ships got drowned in the sea, but my family made it safely thanks to God.  They just had to leave without taking anything; only a small handbag for their personal belongings. Taking three items that represent my family culture will be my holy book (the Quran), my hijab (scarf), and my Islamic, traditional clothes. Yemeni traditional clothes. The Quran is the most important item that I have to be sure about carrying with me wherever I go because it is the word of God and the main source that I read daily to not have fear,  use it to solve problems, and it shows me how to deal with hard situations.  To follow God rules and present my identity as a Muslim-Arab...

How Children’s Well-being Hindered by Poverty?   Together we can make a difference in a child’s life   Is children’s well-being negatively affected by poverty during the ages of 3-5, with an emphasis on cognitive development with regard to the preschool skills checklist?   Children are effective by poverty in many developmental areas that will be affected by their well-being as well. Children at an early age need to develop and grow healthy in the four developmental domains such as cognitive, social, emotional, and physical.
