Culture is who I am. It is my background and the heritage
that makes me who I am today. I am an
African American my religion is Christian and I was basically raised in the
country surrounded by plenty of animals and a lot of work. I love soul food and I enjoy riding horses as
a hobby. I do not listen to rap, for
some reason I like to listen to country music and enjoy being around family. Diversity is basically the same as
culture. It describes who I am as well
as culture.

Culture is the way we live our lives, learn and teach. Culture is the way we do things in our
world. Like certain food we eat, the way
we teach our children and the way we were brought up. Diversity just simply mean different. There are no two things exactly alike.

Culture describes me as a Mexican. I can speak English and Spanish. My family spends a lot of time together and
we are very close to each other. I love
to work and spend money. I love Mexican
food but I like soul food as well. I
have been eating food from the African American heritage for the last five
years. I have been dating African American women since I was eighteen
and I’ve been in my relationship now over two years. Diversity is my ability to succeed, the way I
was raised and the way I live in the community where I reside. I am Hispanic, 25 years old, have two
brothers and I am not married.
Which aspects of culture and
diversity that I have studied in this course are included in the answers I
received—and what are some examples?
Each individual plainly stated culture as being the way one live and
what they eat. “Culture is the way we eat, sleep, talk, play, care for one
another, think about work, arrange our kitchen and remember our dead,” (Louis
Derman-Sparks & Julie Olsen Edwards).
Which aspects have been
omitted—and what are some examples of such omission? There were no aspects
omitted.
In what ways has thinking about
other people’s definitions of culture and diversity influenced my own thinking
about these topics? After listen to each
individual they feel the same I do about culture and diversity. Culture basically describes who you are, what
you eat, your religion, and your background.
It is who and how you live your life and it helps other to know some
aspects about you as an individual.

Laquetta,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your friends have a good grasp on what culture is. They even included some of the concepts of the deeper culture (Derman-Sparks, L. & Edwards, J.O., 2010, p. 56). Deeper culture also includes living arrangements, how people show emotion, whether or not they are immigrants, how important health care is to them, etc. (Derman-Sparks et al., 2010, p. 56).
I look forward to our conversations about culture and diversity in the coming weeks. Thank you for sharing your interviews and your views on culture and diversity.
