I chose group role play for Ashley, Ebony and Trisha because this is directly related to my major. Because I will be a teacher and I will dealing with different people some of different country, some of different background or some of different religious backgrounds. This role play helped me to know some good and healthy ways to work with students who have some mental issues or even students who have some bad behaviors that causes them in the certain way. After watching this role play I did some research about autism and how to deal with child who has autism. Now I have a larger understanding about autism and working with parents in general, sometimes as a teacher I have to educate parents or educate some people around me.

I knew before that marijuana is bad and I didn 't think some other cultures uses on their daily bases. I also learned a lot more about Jamaica 's background information and how did they start the marijuana addiction. Which shocked me more that they knew it was bad but they still did it. Marijuana could kill brain cells which is the worst part of it. The main point is if anyone is dealing with a marijuana addicted first they should tell them that there a lot of people that cares about them and then tell them about how bad it is. My role to do is to be open about this conversation with my kids so they don 't end up doing it behind my back so if they ever want to know how bad it is I could be the best sources they

    Cultural competence has to do with one’s culture. Culture affects among other factors, how children are raised, how families communicate, what is considered normal or abnormal, ways of coping with issues, the way we dress, when and where we seek medical treatment, and so forth. I should know because I come from a very cultural home where it is considered bad to talk to a male doctor about anything gynecological.

  • Small Group Members Essay

    Roles like the recorder were harder to fill as our group interaction was a onetime meeting and therefore did not require as much to be done. However, this role was still filled as a member of my group took notes and recorded the groups’ ideas and progress throughout the discussion. Also, the role of information giver was not fulfilled by one person and instead everyone seemed to take on a bit of this role. Throughout our discussion multiple people would use facts, examples, and stats to back up their argument and ideas instead of one single person. This was also evident in the role of the harmonizer and encourager no one person stepped up and took on this role and instead everyone took on this role. Everyone seemed to give each other complements and encourage each other and their ideas presented and the role of the harmonizer wasn’t really filled because there wasn’t really any conflict which arose in our

  • Marijuana Should Not Be Legalized

    My best friend used to smoke marijuana on a regular basis. Over time, he developed many obvious bad habits and changed his life style tremendously. He started getting lazy with schoolwork, and did not show much interest in anything at all. His parents noticed all these side effects that had been occurring but were unaware that their son smoked marijuana. After the grades fell so much, they decided to take him to get checked out because they were afraid he had developed some sort of ADD. They come to find out that because of him smoking so much marijuana it had led to brain problems, memory problems and affected his thinking skills. He was unable to stay concentrated on something and constantly was out of breath when any physical activity took place. My friend finally quit smoking marijuana because he saw what it was doing to his life. Many teens try marijuana not knowing all the side effects that come with this drug. This drug has many misconceptions from when it is really legal to what marijuana will actually do to your body. People think that marijuana is the most harmless drug because one never hears of people dying from it or getting deathly ill. This is false because marijuana does things to the body that can not be seen from the outside. The majority of the damage is in the brain and lungs which can get extremely dangerous. All the bad side effects from this drug will really harm people’s bodies and ruin their futures and lives.

  • Daycare Workers Contribution

    A fourth group that I affiliated with was my coworkers from the daycare I worked at. I worked in a preschool room that was full of four-year old’s. People who do not work with children would not be able to understand how much energy these children can have and why we love our job. The people I work with shared the same passion for children that I have. Knowing how much we love children can affect our ability when it comes to issues involving children. As child care workers, we want to do what we think is right for our students. Personally, getting to know the children that we care for can influence the decisions we make about them. For example, if one of your students is in an abusive home, as teachers, we want to make the right decision for them. People outside of the child care group do not understand how much effort and energy goes into teaching these children. Many parents drop their children off thinking that their child is just eating napping and playing. They think that their child knowing something new is like magic. Some parents believe that children learn by themselves as they get older and do not realize that daycare providers are teaching them various activities over and over, so they can remember and build on a skill. After working with this group of teachers, I will forever look at people working in different proffecions as unknowledgeable about child development.

  • Active Learning: A Better Approach to Education

    No matter how big or how small the problem is, everyone needs to know how to solve it. Role-playing provides students with the mind-set to solve problems. When solving problems, students need to be able to think creatively. Thinking creatively gives students the ability to develop “original ideas and action,” which provides students the foundation to succeed in the twenty-first century (Shieh & Wheijen, 2014, p.650) During my field experience, the teacher I observed brought the difficulties and problems that the President and Congress face to the students attention, but they never experienced them first-hand. However, role-playing forces the students to feel the difficulty that our leaders face on a day-to-day basis. For example, during my State and Local Politics simulation, the city council undertook more services and were forced to raise taxes. Many citizens at the time were angry and the councilors that voted for the increase lost their seats on the council because of the tax increase. This is a great example of how difficult it is to please constituents. Many citizens that were displeased with the tax increase were in favor of the additional services. That is common within our society. If this role-play activity was performed in a high school classroom, students would understand the difficulties and understand additional services call for additional taxes. The tax increase was placed on a referendum and did

  • Role Play Reflection

    The role play in class allowed me to analysis what I need to work on as a listener and how to make a friend feel comfortable opening up to me. The second role play felt easier to me with my partner, Ashlyn, because we talked in class about different ways to be a good listener. To be a good listener you have to reflect on their feelings, paraphrase, summarize, problem-solve, give advice when appropriate, and ask questions. Being a good listener can completely change the way a conversations goes. When a speaker feels listened to, they feel more comfortable to talk about what is going on and makes them feel cared about. This experience was a positive because it helped me grow as a listener and learn to try to understand what the underlying feeling
