Within customs we can find clothing and language. I chose this photo to represent culture because by means of clothing and physical features we can clearly see at a glance that there are, at least, three different cultures. Even so, if the photo had the background sounds, we would be able to hear and tell apart the different languages that are characteristic of each part of the world. Even though the world is so diverse, it is shown that every culture has unique clothing styles attributed to it and that clothing and language are also reflections of individuals and groups of people. ]]> 2022-09-08 02:39:08 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaraiolo/p55l5qmzs96zpsx5/wish/2287449399 reginaraiolo https://padlet.com/reginaraiolo/p55l5qmzs96zpsx5/wish/2305875409 I found this Instagram post and thought it was very interesting! It views language as a way of belonging to a group and determining a personality. It can shape one’s identity, such as in building new relationships and experiences, and even influencing our perception, values and behavior. How true this is! We belong to a different world and culture when we shift to a different language.]]> 2022-09-21 00:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaraiolo/p55l5qmzs96zpsx5/wish/2305875409 reginaraiolo https://padlet.com/reginaraiolo/p55l5qmzs96zpsx5/wish/2328562861 We had seen in class that the "American Dream” was based on notions of equality and community, of people fully achieving what they’re capable of. It was called the land of opportunities. However, this notion has weakened and changed to another perspective. I’ve chosen this publication in the New York Times newspaper because it focuses on the change of this perspective. Nowadays, people commonly associate it to homeownership. The original spirit of the American Dream has been downgraded.]]> 2022-10-06 02:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaraiolo/p55l5qmzs96zpsx5/wish/2328562861 reginaraiolo https://padlet.com/reginaraiolo/p55l5qmzs96zpsx5/wish/2328567506 In the Ted Talk, Chimamanda talked about how single stories steal people’s dignity. That’s why people should have multiple stories. I found it interesting that this website says that "There were more animals represented in children’s literature than African American, Asian, Latinx, and Native American characters combined in 2018.” As we can see, there’s a lack of representation of diversity in children’s book characters. Just as people’s multiple stories, children’s book characters should also have multiple stories and reflect diversity. Otherwise, they would be telling a single story. We, as teachers, should promote a diverse and inclusive literary world. If we do so, we will help our students to develop an understanding of shared humanity, empathy and cultural responsiveness.]]> 2022-10-06 02:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaraiolo/p55l5qmzs96zpsx5/wish/2328567506 reginaraiolo https://padlet.com/reginaraiolo/p55l5qmzs96zpsx5/wish/2352869323 I found this article about the UN’s point of view about education. It is interesting what it says about not making the same mistake as in the 1980s. At that time, educational budgets were cut and millions of children were kept out of school. And now, there’s a "crisis of access, learning and relevance”. That’s why it highlights that "Education is a human right” that leads people to achieve their career potential and become citizens in this globalized world. Therefore, it should be transformed.]]> 2022-10-24 02:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaraiolo/p55l5qmzs96zpsx5/wish/2352869323 reginaraiolo https://padlet.com/reginaraiolo/p55l5qmzs96zpsx5/wish/2352871176 This analysis shows the history of women’s suffrage around the world and when they gained the right to vote in national elections in each country. It covers 198 countries and self-administering territories, which are home to more than 99.5% of the world’s population. It is interesting that it includes 192 of the 193 member states of the United Nations, plus six self-administering territories: Kosovo, Hong Kong, Macau, the Palestinian territories, Taiwan and Western Sahara.

However, the radio and television programs mostly covered the instances of racial tension. It was in 1964 when the BBC was beginning to reflect a multicultural Britain. This shows that the progress had been horribly slow and uneven.]]> 2022-10-24 02:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/reginaraiolo/p55l5qmzs96zpsx5/wish/2352873832
