The two students I chose to interview happen to be in a relationship with each other. One is a female who is 22 and the other is a male who is also 22. I thought it would be interesting to see their point of views knowing they were in a relationship. I decided to also have this interview corded. Now, after having them answers my questions, I do have to say it might not have been the greatest idea to have both of them in my interview. The reason why I say that was because they ended up have a little argument afterwards and seemed a little annoyed with each other when hearing their answers to the questions. I asked them if they wanted to be interviewed separately but both agreed they wanted to be in the same room and wanted to hear each other’s answers. I didn’t see a problem with it at first but after hearing their attitudes towards each other I soon realized it probably wasn’t the best thing to have them answer in the same room. For the sake of this assignment I will refer to student #1 as the female and student #2 as the male. Student #1 identified as being Cambodian and Asian American. Student #2 identified as being African-American and Caucasian. Both of the students stated that their inner circle consisted of all racially diverse people. For example, #2 said all his friends were mostly mixed with black and another race. And #1 said her roommates were all from a different ethnic background from her own. Both of them are from Seattle and went to the same high school. They
For the Family Health assignment, my partner assigned was Cole Hornbrook. We’ve known each other since elementary school, but we’ve always sat on the far opposite sides of the room and minded our own businesses in all the classes we’ve had together. I don’t think we’ve actually had a whole conversation face-to-face with each other, so this analysis should be interesting in finally getting to know each other after all those years. Race is a parallel need but Cole is Caucasian and I’m Vietnamese-American (Choosing a Partner). I’ve always pictured myself marrying another Asian person, but it’s fine as long as we’re both not racist. I envision that we could have a successful long term relationship due to our compatible personalities (ENFJ vs.
According to Article 5 “ Loving Across Racial Divides,” please describe two issues faced by interracial couples in the united states.
I had the pleasure of interviewing a good friend of mine and a co-worker named Vincent. Vincent is a 28-year-old from the Philippians. He is the youngest of two and him and his brother are part of his family first generation of children born here in America. Vincent has been working as a nurse for the past three years providing in-home services to special needs children. Vincent explained he enjoyed his job and get fulfillment from doing his job. Vincent did express some dissatisfaction with his job as of late because his clients are beginning to become more physically aggressive towards him leaving him with bruises and torn clothes. Vincent stated he has been thinking about joining the United States Air Force to gain more experience in triage because he would like to work in the emergency room or ICU one day.

good manners, punctuality, truthfulness and honesty. It is important that you are able to recognise
Bean I should be aware of the issues of conflict of interest. I need to make sure that our law firm has never represented Ms. Bean’s spouse. If this is the case at all I will need to inform her that we are unable to represent her. If I know Ms. Bean personally at all this would potentially cause a conflict of interest. Especially if I personally know her spouse as well. By carrying on this interview it will give me a great deal of insight into hew case and if any type of conflict of interest may occur I need to be very honest with Ms. Bean, as our potential client, because it could cause a change in the outcome of the case all together if she chooses to have us represent her (ABA, Rule 1.7). Of course I need to keep in mind the ethical rule of confidentiality. Whatever Ms. Bean shares with me is confidential, so it is only to stay between the firm and herself and she should be comfortable in knowing she can tell us anything and it will never leave the law firm (ABA, Rule
The interview took place over the course of a couple weeks in the living room of my home which she shares with me. The interview was bittersweet as Dawn and Eileen recalled the events of the previous years. During the interview process, at times, Eileen became depressed and didn’t want to discuss certain events at certain times. Consequently, the interview process took longer than expected.
The first person I interviewed can be identified as a Caucasian, twenty-two year old, male. He is a college graduate who has an associates degree in fire science from Northshore Community College. This male is currently employed at ENE Systems as a buildings operator and works as a mechanic at Lucey’s Service Station on the weekends. He is a son, a brother to four siblings, and an uncle to three nieces and three nephews. I interviewed this male in his own home behind closed doors so there was no other input from outside sources. After obtaining his basic information, I asked him what he thought
Devon is 44 years old and is 6 feet and 4 inches. About. The gentleman is slim and looks healthy. Based on the interview he told me that he has become good at chess and has been working to patent his own hat. Therefore he has developed his business skills and math skills.
If I was put in Ms. Ribiero’s shoes, I would have started the conversation about family diversity in response to Julia and Brandon’s comments aimed at Denise’s book of choice. Initially, Ms. Ribiero could have mentioned all families are different in their own unique way. For example, some children have step parents, single parents, live in foster homes, have been adopted, are the only child, have only brothers or only sisters, etc. Upon highlighting the variety of family structures, children would be more open to understanding that other families are not like their own, thus meaning a family with parents being of the same gender would not seem as strange as before, seeing that it fits into the category of diverse families. Then, I would consider asking the students if they wanted to talk more about family diversity at a later time where everyone could share how their family might be different or similar to their classmates. That way I would be able to put the conversation on hold, prepare a lesson or time that would appropriately fit into the class time, and give the students a chance to think about what they would want to share at a later time without getting too off track from the class schedule at that moment in time.
I decided to complete the Diversity Interview by utilizing a classmate that I have worked with on several occasions. The work we performed together has always been professional; we have never had discussions that delved deep into each other’s backgrounds. This person is of the opposite sex and is visibly a different ethnic group from myself. I am an American- African male and she is an American – Mexican/Irish. This interview is being done in order for me to understand what it is like to be in her “skin”. During the interview I asked questions about ethnicity, race, gender, and socioeconomic status.
Angela is an 18 year-old, African American female, who is attending her Freshman year at a University in the South. Angela’s family is very close, and they hold high religious values. Angela holds that same value for the church and is a leader in her youth ministry. Angela is the first of her family to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree and has always been a good student. Angela would like to be a teacher and is pursuing a teaching degree. Angela is experiencing discord with her Caucasian roommate, Jen, who doesn’t hold the same religious values, challenges her beliefs, and regularly spends the night at her boyfriend’s apartment. After some time, Angela just avoids Jen but when Angela becomes seriously ill, it is Jen and her boyfriend who come to her aid. Angela had been considering a request for a different roommate before her illness, but is now
Interracial couples as well as same sex couples face many of the same controversial problems and dilemmas, however, not many differences could be seen between the values of these couples regardless of their generations. The two different groups of individuals being interviewed were a selected group of interracial couples of an older age group ranging from 60 – 33, and a group of same sex couples the ages of 25 – 19. The relationship that was being studied was the relationship values between individuals in interracial relationships in previous generations versus the values of individuals in same sex relationships in our current generation. My hypothesis was that interracial couples as well as same sex couples face many of the same
1. Question: Share some of the background of your interviewee (or couple). What was this person’s/couple’s story?
Relationships formed by two ethnicities can create a union between different cultures such as Asian, Hispanic, African American, American, and many others. One factor that comes from these relationships is children. Adolescents, whether they are involved in or are the product of mixed race couples, are negatively affected by interracial relationships. In result of these relationships, those adolescents face social, emotional, and cultural issues. Those issues include receiving social backlash from those around them, experiencing an identity crisis, and receiving neglect from their families.
