AA Psych by Autum Upton https://padlet.com/uptonautum1/Bookmarks Made with Sugar & Spice en-us 2021-10-20 12:53:35 UTC 2024-07-21 08:46:26 UTC hello@padlet.com 1.6 Who am I , First experience with Race & Sense of Self Brainstorm: uptonautum1 https://padlet.com/uptonautum1/Bookmarks/wish/1832669465 PROMPT 1:
1) Who am I ? I’m 23 years old currently working as a medical assistant,In school to pursue a career in nursing.
2)Who do I pretend to be ? I personally don’t pretend to be anyone by myself.
3)Who do people think I am? Based on my demeanor people assume I’m either mean or stuck up and that comes from how I carry myself but in reality I’m friendly, outspoken and a nice person.
4)Who do I wish I could be ? I don’t wish to be anyone but myself I just want a good and successful future for myself.
5)How has race or ethnic identity played a role in any of these responses ? Race nor ethnic identity played a role in any of my responses but I would say as African American working in the health care field I would always have to go above and beyond in doing my work to show that I’m worthy of being there .
PROMPT 2: 
- I’ve personally haven’t dealt with race in my life yet ,maybe It will cross my path one day in the future and if I ever come across that I’m sure this class would help me prepare for that.
PROMT 3:- I don’t think a person that has a negative view of their sense of self can have a positive sense of ethnic identity because how would they know who they are if they have a negative way of thinking.
-I think someone who identifies positively with AA Psychology will have a stronger sense of self or ethnic identity because they are aware of who they are personally and also would know how to go about certain situations if it would ever come down to it just by studying on how other people would think of us.

Ex: kidnapping,police brutality,jail for wrongfully convicted.
2)The concept of ubantu has changed my worldview because Americans are not that giving and accepting & welcoming as Africans ,African cultures are all about helping respect ,sharing,community coming together as one and American culture is basically fight for yourselves not coming together to help each other at all and that is sad.

Maafa means enslavement of African people.I have witness and plenty of other people witnessed numerous African Americans go to jail the concept is shown every single day either on social media,news or in person.The least concept that is present is Sankofa which menas looking back to go forward.I feel as if most people don't look at the past mistakes they just move forward and repeat those same mistakes in order to move ahead. Ex: Repeating & failing a test multiple times and getting the same answers wrong as before you have to go back and study the wrong answers to get them right & go forward.]]> 2021-10-23 05:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/uptonautum1/Bookmarks/wish/1837629181 2.4 Theory 3: 7 Principles of Nguzo Saba uptonautum1 https://padlet.com/uptonautum1/Bookmarks/wish/1837631522 I chose Nia meaning purpose , it resonates with me because I feel as if every one on earth has a purpose in life and that's to be whoever you choose to be but be good at it,I have seen this being valued in the African American community because we were put on this earth to be different and our purpose still is to stand up for ourselves and protect our culture.]]> 2021-10-23 05:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/uptonautum1/Bookmarks/wish/1837631522 I identify with the following ethnic self identity measures: uptonautum1 https://padlet.com/uptonautum1/Bookmarks/wish/1846732386
  1. State your first measure and also state why you chose it. - Natal Measure,I chose this because I come first before anything I do appreciate my parents & grandparents for making me but at the end of the day its my life.
  2. State your second measure and also state why you chose it.-Situation Contextual Measures,I chose this because working & having an education is important and its key to success in my eyes.
  3. State your third measure and also state why you chose it.-Subjective Measures,I chose this one because its important to value yourself have morals and also have a concept of how you want to live and grow.
  4. State your fourth measure and also state why you chose it.-Behavioral Measures, Its important to have friends,affiliations,different food types & music but I think everything would change as I get older so I wouldn't deem it as something I have to worry about in life.

    2.The strength and challenges of the black family are strong kinship, work ethic & family .The challenges are not sticking together or not building each other up.
    3.Racial socialization affects parents and children in a black family because parents have to go out of their comfort zone to explain racism and how to navigate in the world to their kids.
    4.Factors that have impacted the black family the most are limited opportunities,underestimating because people tend to doubt others based on their race.
