The
one friend I pick that was different from my culture is a Hispanic woman that
is twenty-three
years old with two children and she is divorced from her husband. The
religion she
believe in is Catholic. The definition that she gave of culture is learning
about your
background, respecting yourself and others, family traditions, and morals
and values. The
definition of diversity is learning about people and children all around
the world.
The aspects of culture and diversity
that I have studied in this course is respecting
the cultural
diversity of all children and families when it comes to practices and policies
in early
childhood education. The aspects that have been omitted is not just focusing
on one culture.
For example I am from the African American culture and that was the
only culture I
ever knew. Until I work at the company at IBM and being a teacher in
in early
childhood profession that is when I lean about culture and diversity. We have
to expose our
self and learn from different cultures.
Learning other people’s definitions
of culture and diversity have influenced
me to respect
and learn about their background, who they are, and learning their
morals,
traditions, and values.
