chp 12 final thought

Before I came to America, I had not encountered racism and any prejudice. Therefore, I was shock after I road chapter 12. In addition, I read a history book about the civil right moment. The book showed me at the time white people did a lot of inhuman things to African American people. So, I felt sad for them. However, I am glade that it will not happen again. Because people know it is not right to prejudice on race, and in the world everybody is equal to do their right. I will not prejudice people on racism and sexist.

chp 11 final thought

Plagiarism had happened a lot when people copy some website and book for their paper. People should know plagiarism is unethical behavior, and people should know copy some one‘s work that it is same as stealing. Therefore, people should learn how to avoid plagiarism. For example, I learned how to make a bibliography after I copy from website and book. Therefore, it will not get any trouble on plagiarism.

chp 3 final thought

Every body has some unethical behaviors, but some people do not show up. For example, I have some unethical behavior when I was young. However, I knew that was not good, so I changed. We are human, and we know what is right, so we should quit bad behavior and present more good behavior. Therefore, this social will better and better.

chp2 final thought

When two more people have a conversation, sometimes it makes some mistakes and misunderstandings. Therefore, they should learn how to deal and solve this kind of problems. For example, sometimes I will have miscommunication with my friends and family. However, I will try to explain and make my speech clearly. Also, people can try to write it down a paper and send an email. Therefore, the situations will not getting worst.

chp 1 final thought

Finished the chapter 1, I had a lot of thoughts about culture shock. I remembered one day I was lost in Boston, but there was a nice old lady who helped me and brought me to my doom. I will never forget that day and nice lady. I have been here for four years, and I already can adapt in this culture. Therefore, I had not shock by culture. In addition, I learned how to deal with culture shock. So, I will not scare and nervous for adapting a new culture.

chp12 case study

In the chapter 12 of case study, Francin and Tony were facing a huge issue about racism. Racism had happened for long time history. Even though civil right moment was passed, some people still had a prejudice on racism. However, it is getting better and better. In my opinion, Francin should go back to her country and not seeing Tony as well. If she continually handed out with him, she might get hurt. Tony also had to think what the best way for Francin. He should stop seeing her for her safety. That was I think for them.
