A Culture Within A Culture

April 92010

Ybarra takes us inside a culture within a culture and shows how if not properly nurtured, customs and languages once thought to be commonplace will fall by the wayside. He states these stunning facts to illustrate this point, “…it has been reported that Spanish is the primary language for the majority (73%) of first generation immigrants. However, for second generation children, it drops to 40%, and more impressively down to 1% for third generation grandchildren.” Dr. Ybarra too illustrates that having a common history creates a sense of unity as he further states, “…living in the United States means we have to face a majority of people who as a whole, would systematically negate the experiences as well as the contributions of any group of people that do not look, sound, or act like them.”

The Includers

April 92010

What do you believe that are willing to do to obtain a better life? I would venture to say, your answer does not revolve around moochings off government agencies.
The Includers
Much like the straight-lacers, the includers too have an error in their philosophy. This error prohibits them from embracing any argument put forth by a straight-lacer. The main topic of discussion that there seems to be no agreement from both sides is the topic of assimilation. While it would be foolish to argue that one side favors assimilation and the other doesn’t, it is not as foolish to believe that the level of assimilation that are required to become uniquely American, do differ.

What Will Become of America

April 92010

The question becomes, how long will it be before the America that exists today transforms into the countries that many of these immigrants have abandoned and is this lack of assimilation a major cause? With either argument, whether you are a straight-lacer or an includer, it is vitally important that we look at the individual implications. A common ground of understanding must be reached or else it will can either be a prison or set us free. In the movie, Lone Star, one of the many stories is one of an immigrant from Mexico, Mercedes Cruz, who is trying to fee herself from her “dirty” Mexican past and assimilate into American culture.

A seminary must strive to develop

April 82010

A theological education center must build up the qualities needed for church leadership as outlined in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 and the faculty should pass along to pupils through illustration and teaching. Likewise key is the growth of men and women to be unhampered learners who read and think. A seminary must strive to develop men and women who are both down-to-earth and adaptable, with the ability to transform schoolroom knowledge into people-related ministries.

Key to the Online Seminary commission is producing character, sharpening competence, and preparing for service. This is a strategic doctrine to the aspect that God has supplied his perfect written divine revelation in the Bible. A normal seminary will provide a course of study fashioned to further strategic scholarly query in an academician atmosphere that is consecrated to excellence in learnedness, a biblical worldview, spiritual understanding, and social moral sense and all in the circumstance of God’s blessing.

We Disagree Over The Cause

April 82010

The problems associated with the disagreement in the causes of ADD center around prevention. Without having a clear understanding of what the underlying cause of the disorder is, no suggestion can truly be offered on how to prevent it from occurring. With causes ranging from poor teaching techniques to genetics, the question becomes how can one be properly advised in preventing the disorder? These ranges of causes give no indication to parents with young children about how they can go about insuring their child’s safety. The causes like the characteristics appear to be all inclusive, meaning that if one cause does not fit your situation, just keep looking and we will find one that does.

A Sign of The Times

April 82010

It would seem that we are taught to worship the villan and not the vilified.
As strange as it may sound, after looking at all of the readings, I cannot fault those who owned slaves. As a sign of the times, I truly believe slavery was a business. Yes, racism was a part of the process but if we ignore the economic side of the coin, we miss many vital aspects of the slave trade. This concept is no more clearly defined than in Edward P. Jones’ book, The Known World. In his work, Jones snaps the stereotypical view of a slave owner in two.

How Does a Humanist Explain Behavior

April 72010

In addition to the belief that humans are basically intrinsically good, there is also the belief that to understand why an individual behaves in a certain way, one must look at the underlying cause of that behavior. Maslow outlines six fundamental needs that seek to explain the origin of human behavior (Maslow, 1970). For the humanists, these needs or an interaction among them, explain most observable behaviors. To the humanists, behavior alone means little and they are unconvinced that behavior tells the full story. They attempt to understand the full story by attempting to uncover the origination of that behavior.

Five Deadly Facebook Sins

Facebook, MySpace or Twitter can be great social networking tools. But they can do some pretty big-time damage when it comes to your Washington personal injury case.

The Internet has become a tremendous tool in the hands of insurance company. It is one more tool that helps them research where you are, what you are doing and how they can use it against you and get away by not paying your claim.

The Second Reading

March 312010

When, questioned after the second reading if she would like to read more she said no. I spoke to her mother about having her read daily and asking her questions after she read. I also recommended she find chapter books on subjects that interest DJ. The goal is to get her to read more and expand her attention span during reading. The more she read the better and faster she will get at reading and hopefully at comprehension. I also plan on continuing throughout this summer teacher her strategies to help her improve her comprehension and test taking skills and abilities.
