Recommended: Gender roles today

For me the privilege walk activity it was eye-opening. I had the idea that this activity was going to be difficult because of the video we watched in class. After, we had done the activity ourselves I felt speechless because I sometimes feel that I do not have the same or equal privileges as others. This activity helped me realize the privileges I have, and that I was too blind to notice them. For example, when we went back to class we talked about having the privilege of being right handed. Being right handed is a privilege because a notebook or opening a can is for right handed people and left-handed people must adapt to it. In class, a classmate mentioned that in her school the teachers would teach them how to write with their right hand.

  • Service Learning Class Reflection

    Most of the readings in the class focused on civically engaged activity that helped me to reflect on my personal and other people efforts to bring changes in society and the world.

The readings assisted me to reflect more on my journey about the past and the future. I reflected on the 11 years I lived in Brazil as a volunteer missionary, giving service to the marginalized. I testified the unjust system that hinders the poor and favor the rich or people of power. Some of the readings like

  • How Did The Children's March Impact Society

    1503 Words  | 4 Pages

    The children's march was one of the most important events that took place during the civil rights movement. It had a huge effect and impact on society because it was a eye-opener to the people, that it had reached to a point where young children were being sent out to march and to fight for their own freedom and the freedom of other African Americans in their country. The reason it consisted of children and not grown adults was because the adults were aware of the consequences that could take place if they were to march, so they decided that the children should do it since they had nothing to lose. It was great shock because as the kids were marching the last thing they and the people of Birmingham were expecting was to be attacked by the police. The Police weren't afraid or even hesitant about using very harsh tactics against the kids. They used fire hoses that were so strong that it took four men to just hold it, and they also used police dogs which were very vicious and violent. What made it so interesting and in a way inspiring is the fact that the children continued to sing as they were being beat, sprayed with tons of water, and bitten by guard dogs. Its amazing and liberating to see how passionate these children are about fighting against slavery. Its very sad to know that these children had to be exposed to the arrogance of people who had so much more knowledge than they had, at such a young age.

    It led to vicious rumors being spread about me amongst my peers and amongst the parents of my peers. It led to a brutal three months of being attacked by being called names and people assuming things about me which weren’t true. This period was difficult, and I cannot imagine having to deal with this every day and everywhere I go. This allows me to sympathize with those who deal with discrimination on an every day basis; this also allows me to be convicted to make racism not an issue within the vicinity of people that I can affect and convince.

  • Practicum Placement

    Today’s class was very beneficial because we got to collaborate with our colleagues. Being able to use the curriculum document and create learning objectives was very useful. At my practicum placement, I am also teaching lessons and planning for them. An activity like this is relevant to my practicum placement, but will also help my teaching. For example, when writing your learning goals, I learned you could write “upon completion of this lesson students should be able to”. This is an excellent way to list the learning objectives for the lesson. In today’s class, my memory was refreshed about Blooms Taxonomy, which I learned in both my science and ELL class. However, todays class allowed me to understand it and apply it specifically in math.

  • My Response To A Parent's Funeral

    483 Words  | 1 Pages

    Many of them had intriguing stories and messages that I can connect to my life. One speech that stuck out to me was done by Owen Borelli. In his speech he explained the life of his uncle that is a state trooper. His uncle has had many great experiences while in the job, whether it was car chases or school. Another speech that I thought was impressive was done by my friend Sam Gruhl. Sam talked about his family friend Nick Molo. He talked about how Nick used to be just like us, attending Wahlert. Nick knew that he wanted to take up a career in business and looks to do big things. One other speech that I found very amusing was done by Owen Funke. Owen explained the life of Mr. Ehrman, one of my teachers this year at Wahlert. He explained how Mr. Ehrman made the decision to dedicate his life to teaching kids about making smart financial decisions. These three speeches, and other ones done by my peers, showed me that everyone has an amazing story to their life. Everyone is faced with their own highs and lows in their lives. I also learned that by looking into other people's lives and hearing all they’ve gone through, you can acquire many life lessons. My own speech and other ones by my peers taught me how I should live my own life, like always trying my

    Privilege is according to Dictionary.com a right or immunity granted to a certain group of people. Well I was privileged enough to have a chance to take this class and I think it has given me a whole new outlook on privilege. I have learned quit bit from this class that I would have never learned if I would not have taken it. When I think about privilege I kind of over looked it myself until seeing how so many people were treated so poorly just because they were different in some way. This is my last semester at Nicolet and I wanted to try new things that I never did before and discover something new because the last thing I want to be is like everyone else. It makes me angry seeing all the terrible things that happen to people that did not do anything wrong. I also think it’s important to learn about lots of different cultures because it really shows you how other people grew up and

  • Social Class: Course Analysis

    One of the main things I learned was that things don’t just happen many times you hear people say everyone has the same chance or opportunity and it’s the choices we make throughout our life that determine the outcome. An example that is easy to relate to is social classes and the idea of being born into a social class and not being able to advance to a higher class. The paper tower project that we did in class was a good visual example of not having the same choices but being expected to have the same outcome as everyone else in your community.

  • Personal Narrative: My Sixth Learning Experiences

    Several things have struck me as powerful lessons in the six weeks since I first entered this class. Though I have always known that I had experienced privilege throughout my life, I never realized how truly engrained that was in me until writing the first assignment. During that experience, I struggled with identifying ways that my heritage had impacted my development and approached it from more of an internal standpoint rather than an environmental one. Sitting in class and listening to my classmates’ experiences, I was struck by how much different their lives have been in comparison to mine. Being able to put myself in their shoes even for a moment was a much-appreciated exercise in empathy. This is an example of our sixth learning objective:

My grandfather used to be a Meals on Wheels recipient and he would share with me how he enjoyed looking forward to their company and a hot meal daily. I volunteered because I wanted to give back and help someone else’s loved one in the same way. It was very rewarding delivering hot meals to people who didn’t have the means of getting one as well as being there for them to talk to. Overall, it was a very humbling experience, it made me realize just how blessed I am and how much I take for granted daily.
