Blog Entry #2

 

My Blog will be explaining why pronouncing names are important!

I recently had a class discussion in my Educational Cultural Diversity class on why pronouncing names is important.  If you don’t attempt to learn someone’s name that shows you don’t care. When you don’t pronounce a student’s name correctly, you can cause them to feel uncomfortable and out of place.  If you are having trouble with their name, then you can pull them aside later and asked them the correct pronunciation. That way you won’t run the risk of embarrassing them by putting them on the spot.  Then you can practice learning it for next time.

    This happens a lot when someone reads my name for the first time. They pronounce it like (Kali-a) or (Kall-ia). It's Calia (Kuh-lia)! It's not 'a' as in cat, or 'o' as in hot. ヾ(≧へ≦)〃

    The way you stated this is really interesting. It is so important to make sure that everybody feels important, and your blog reflects this well. I completely agree with you.

    Hi Jazzmyn! I think that it's really cool of you to dedicate a blog post to talking about something important that you learned. In my opinion, this is exactly what blogs should be used for and your post accomplished that perfectly!

    Hello Jazzmyn. I really liked this post. I never understood why teachers didn't think it was important to know how to properly say their students names. I personally didn't have to go through this but a lot of my friends and family did. I would always correct them until they said it correctly because that's a huge part of their identity.

    As someone with a unique cultural name, hearing my name mispronounced has just become part of the norm. For the longest time I just lived with people mispronouncing it, but now I find it very disrespectful. My name is a part of my culture, respecting my name is respecting my culture.

    Hey, Jazzmyn. Your blog is looking pretty good so far. You have some good content and ideas, though you have room to keep digging into analysis and description to connect to your audience and create more significance. Don't forget about visual appeal and engagement as well (images, links, text formatting). Keep it up!

Blog Entry 7 (EC): Fresh

  As I started watching the fresh documented  film it  made me  realize  I want  to change  my lifestyle and the way I eat.   What  they  did to the animals  was  very cruel and mean. The film fresh also taught me that so much food gets wasted as well but we should learn to be  grateful  for what do have  instead  of being wasteful there  are  people out  there  in the world who  can't  afford food.  I also fe el  that   industry  companies  should start doing a better job   of  spending  money and not being wasteful  and giving food to people who cannot afford it. I feel like they should do something about animal  welfare  after watching what happened to the poor animals it  made me decide I’m done eating meat and I want to live a healthy lifestyle where no animals can  get  hurt or  mistreated a ...

The one I found most interesting in are class discussion was being bias. Bias is caused to feel or show inclination or prejudice for or against someone or something. the reason why and how this topic is important for people to know is that because there is different bias.   Cultural bias, also known as implicit bias, involves those who perceive other cultures as being abnormal, outlying, or exotic, simply based on a comparison to their own culture.   In-group bias this type of bias refers to how people are more likely to support or believe someone within their own social group than an outsider.
