Culture does not make a difference for me when it comes to meeting people. When I first moved to this country and I didn’t speak the language I really appreciated those who took the time to get to know me, and were patient with me. I remember them and a lot of them are still in my life for the simple fact that they accepted me even though I was a stranger to their culture. I would be a straight up loser if I did not accept or tolerate people from other cultures, since I am different myself. I do consider myself open minded.
Unfortunately, I’ve learned the hard way that sadly not all people are good. I tend to face myself against reality when I don’t want to see the negative in situations. Which is why I have set making good friends as one of my goals. I believe that a friend should never hold you back from your dreams and instead they should be there to help and guide you through the bad, the good, and the ugly. They should be a support system and be there for you as much as you would be there for them and it’s always nice to have good influences as you grow into adulthood.
They have had a very different upbringing to all of us, and their values and beliefs are very different to our own. This has caused many conflicts, particularly with the male Muslims taking instructions from younger female staff. My line manager and I have tried to educate when issues arise, having working with Muslims for many years, and asking them questions, we understand more of their values, and reinforcing a zero tolerance for any discrimination due to their beliefs. Members of staff that are lazy or regularly flout the rules are another factor for workplace conflict. If a member of staff is regularly late to work when others are always on time, or a member of staff uses their mobile phone when it is banned, this will cause conflict.
I did not grow up in the best environment and my caseworker has helped me cope with the fact that, sometimes, my family is not a positive role model for me. I learned that, even through hard times, not everybody is going to do what they say they are going to do. Having a relationship with my family has been an enormous struggle, because I am very close to them and they have some unhealthy habits, which I know, are not good to deal with. I try not to follow in their footsteps because I want to provide for myself and predict my own future. The differences that Youth services have made in my life are going to help me in the community and make a difference in the future.
A lot of people in the world don’t like who they are or what they’ve become for many reasons such as: looks, weight, personality, family, job, etc. Whatever the reason may be few people in this world wouldn’t change a thing about themselves, I’m one of those people. I’ve learned to accept all my flaws and realize god made me his way for a reason. If I were to change anything about myself, even the
My depression got so bad that at one time in my life all I wanted to do was sleep my life away, luckily the support from my family helped me to realize that I am not a hateful person and that I need not listen this stereotype. Another stereotype that people have categorized me to be is that I am a know-it-all, because of my years as a correctional officer. From personal experience as a correctional officer I know that most correctional officers act as though they are better than everyone else (including law enforcement officers), and that they literally know-it-all. However, in my case
He does not care what society thinks of him and in some situations he does not even care about the laws and rules of life. People around me are to scare to over do it and care too much about the consequences. But many friends of mine have the idea of not caring and doing whatever they please but having limits to it. I believe that when we are young we enjoy life much more because we like adventures and trying new things just like Alexander. 10.
Dolphis Raymond is talking to Dill and Scout, “I’m not much of a drinker, but you see they could never understand that I live like I do because that’s the way I want to live” (202). Some people believe that there is only one real way to live and anyone who isn’t like that won’t be accepted. People are prejudice and that was okay with Dolphis Raymond, he just wanted to live life his way and didn’t care what others thought. Dolphis was an outcast who taught that in order to fully know someone, there’s always a way to get to know
Our society does not hold high standards when it comes to working together as a team like the San culture does. (Nowak & Laird 2010) states “Perhaps a large number of us should step back and take a lesson on how to survive instead of how to keep up with the Jones”. In our society, we are more concerned about ourselves and take our resources for granted. We do depend on one another for certain things but we do not rely on family members or relatives to provide like the San’s do. The San people like the simple life and are not greedy like Americans can be.
I have family members who are always saying negative things to me like- “It’s too expensive to attend college,” you’ll never find time,” it’s too late,” and etc. I have long separated from some of these family members because I needed boundaries and knew they were not part of my eventual goals for my life. I ultimately knew that if I didn’t separate, my dreams and a piece of myself would die. As a result, I make sure to concentrate my energy on various healthy challenges and this has helped me to forget about the negative words and impacts in my life. Thank God- that I have been able to succeed in most of my goals.
