Part I:

Last class session Julian gave a power point presentation about APA format style. This for me in particular was very useful as it clears up the difference between MLA and APA formatting style. The information can help me with writing assignments and to have a clear understanding of the two.

Class activity involved getting into groups of three to four people going around the classroom answering questions and discussing them among ourselves. The questions were based on the reading for the week. In my group there were four of us we were all Hispanic we all shared our personal information and found out we all have a lot in common. We were able to relate a lot in our family dynamics in particular our parents having a difficult time understanding our new views and values versus theirs.

 

Part II:

This week’s reading emphasis on people with disabilities before reading the articles I was oblivious that people with disabilities make up our campuses very diverse. Mc.Cune’s article what do Disabilities have to do with diversity. People with disabilities face many challenges for example discrimination, and oppression. Many times people with non-disabilities ignore the needs of these individuals.  Many individuals see themselves as part of a minority group and feel deprived of their human and civil rights. Individuals with non-disabilities should be more involved and help and create environments that are friendly for everyone to use.

 

I choose this picture because we should all unite together to help make a difference regardless of people race, religion, abilities, or ethnicity.
