Play Box Activity (Culture & Ethnicity)

I believe culture and ethnicity cannot be learned once, because there is always something to learn even from our own cultures and/or ethnicity. I loved the activity because my teammate Maggie had me thinking more about my culture and what it means to me. It is something I do not often think about. By doing this play box, it helped me to cherish my culture even more.

Planning this activity with Maggie was very educating and fun. The best part was listening to what others have to say concerning their culture/ethnicity. It made me to feel as if I am in a room fill with rainbow. Although we all have different cultures, but we somehow relate to at least one or two persons in the room. As for me, I felt satisfying when Tracy spoke of culture and the love she has for certain music and food in her country because I could relate and understand what she was speaking of. For the other, though i did not know, it made me curious to find out and I felt that I was with them in that moment when they shared their stories.

My reflection is based on Karisa Tashjian, from the Providence Public Library. Karisa's presentation spoke out the most from my point of view. The way in which she presented her materials and educated the class not just what we know about libraries, but what goes on in the organizational structure that most of the class did not know about. I like how she made a connection to the fish after talking about partnering with other organizations. She mentioned that, partnering with others help bring in bigger ideas especially when everyone is leading in the same direction. The activity with the fish when everyone has to write down the names of fish they know helped me in understanding what she meant by working alone only lead to walking in circle whereas working with others. When there is a team opportunity and everyone is on the same page and has the same goal, there will be one focus and a better result. In connection to one of our course text, this reminds me about the import...

Black Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter is a sensitive topic to me personally because each person embraces it differently. I feel when explaining Black Lives Matter (BLM) to anyone, the individual should be conscious about what is being said and how it is explained. If I am to explain what is BLM to a young person, I will explain depending on what the individual wants to hear baring in mind that I do not know how this person will embrace my information. I would simple say that it is an activist movement, rally, and an organization that is seeking racial justice. It is a movement that started after the murder of an African-American teen Trayvon Martin. The protests speak out against police killings of black people, racial profiling, police brutality, and racial inequality in the United States criminal justice system. I would leave it as simple as that if I am not asked to go into details of this movement. source: Black Lives Matter Questions: When is it appropriate to discuss BLM? What are ...
