    When Cultures Collide By Cosmas U. Nwokeafor

    Cultural diversity is a reality and here to stay, it will not vanish overnight. People do things and think differently in diverse parts of the continents. In the same context, bringing up African children in foreign nations is not easy as the children face cultural shock (Nwokeafor, 2008). The parents or guardians must develop strategies that bring out mutual understanding between the children and the host culture. Surveys have indicated that people originating from diverse…

    I appreciate that my community is unapologetically diverse in terms of ethnicity but bonded by a shared passion. From my Japanese class at school, to my friends in costume design and anime, we share a common understanding of Japanese culture. Whether it’s friends from the maid cafe who taught me to feel comfortable trying new and foreign ideas, customs and dances to the cross-country team where I learned the value of individual effort toward a team goal, we all share the same trust and understanding that comes from open and like-minded…

    Aboriginal Dispossession

    Aboriginal spirituality lies in the belief in a cultural landscape. Everything on the vast desert landscape has meaning and purpose. The land is both an external landscape and an internal relationship with the ancestral spirits. Landmarks are both metaphysical and physical. As an example Uluru can be seen as an epic poem, a source of sacred law, a physical landmark and a repository of knowledge.…

    Sherlock Holmes 'Short Story' The Speckled Band

    In the short story "The Adventure of The Speckled Band". Sherlock Holmes states that "violence does in truth recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another. If one has a dark soul and evil intensions, in the end one shall perish. One simply meets the same fate they intended for another. No good will ever come out of under handed and insipid acts. Darkness doesn't really exist. The true definition of "dark" is only the absence of light. What's done in the dark, under the quiet or covered up is classified as unknown. It never stays that way,…

    Teaching Assistant Level 3

    Every member of staff is responsible for ensuring that anti-discriminatory practice is endorsed in school and to identify when discrimination is occurring. The Children Act 2004 requires early years and other childcare facilities to promote an anti-discriminatory practice within that setting and also requires all adults who work with children to promote a child’s needs with paramount importance. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the framework which allows young children to achieve the five Every Child Matters outcomes, it sets standards for; the education, growth and care that children should experience; equality of opportunity for every child and anti-discriminatory practice; partnership working; improving quality and consistency and lays a secure foundation for future learning for children. Within Parkhill School there are many children who originate from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, most of these children use English as an additional language so it is important that communication is effective by taking into account the child’s age, culture and understanding. We have an EAL co-coordinator in school and other teaching assistants who speak additional languages who will translate on behalf of the parents that do not speak English and are available for the parents and their child as part of a support network within our school, as well as helping to fill in any necessary forms or documents the EAL coordinator will read any important letters and relay any issues on a child’s development or achievements. When working in a school that has such a diverse cultural difference it is vital that a genuine interest is shown in a child’s lifestyle in order for the child to feel appreciated and valued and to recognize the differences in all cultures as well as sharing possible comparisons that we may have; children in all key stages have learnt about many different…

    aboriginal spirituality

    The Aboriginal people believe in myths but do not have faith in a creator. Instead, they believe in a spirit world, they say that after death there is another world beyond, they trust in ideas of reincarnation. The spirits are active in this world but they also live on in a world after death. The Aboriginals use rituals as a way of communicating between the two worlds. Communities or tribes gather to take part in dances, story telling, art making and other practices. They group for these rituals at sacred sites, these are places or areas that hold great significance for the Aborigines. These fascinating beliefs are very deep and complex views of how the cycle of life on our Earth occurs.…

    Tribal Knowledge And Values: The Importance Of Education

    Here comes the notion of what is worth teaching. There are different aspects of looking at the worthiness of the content to be taught. One is from the view of learners and other is from the intrinsic value of what is ought to be taught. We cannot let slip the fact that the process of education involves a huge number of students and not just one child. And the framing of curriculum and teaching methods according to each child is beyond the bounds of possibility. So, the teaching methods are created based on generalized child psychology and adults are required to perceive things from child’s point of view. Though, it has its own limitations also. Generally, children receive and understand knowledge that has been presented in engaging and fascinating manner. Also, the biggest concern is at a very tender age children are unaware and have very little knowledge to be able to choose what should be taught or not. Another facet of what is worth teaching is the knowing the content in terms of intrinsic value. It is, however, dependent on time, culture, society and history. So as to implement the constitutional provision of 350(A), that focus usage of mother tongue for linguistic minorities at primary level, there will be a need for huge number of teachers who are acquainted with that tribal language. The political ignorance towards the SC/ST education also has retarded the growth. This issue had to be noticed and worked upon with selfless efforts. The inequality, discrimination on caste, class and gender, injustice and disparity can only be reduced by the upliftment of the education levels. The identity and the self-esteem of the weaker section has to be strengthened by giving due respect to their knowledge and not suppressing their culture. The school environment should be made children friendly and the teachers should promote their local knowledge without getting influenced by the…
