The mission of Firs of all, treat them with kindness program is to help the immigrant community adjust to the US culture. We want to create an educational conscience in this particular community, where they understand that America is a beautiful melting pot of cultures and we need to embrace it and learn how to get alone. This comprehensive program teaches immigrants how to approach all the differences between the American culture and their
Children, like adults will have their disagreements. As children get older their arguments can become more serious and are not simple squabbles. In order for children and young people to trust us, it is important that we can identify difficulties and help them wherever possible to find ways through them. It is essential that children and young people perceive our way of doing this as fair. When you have a conflict with a child, there is an opportunity for learning about how to solve problems. Conflicts help children to understand that other people have different thoughts and feelings to their own. Listen to the child and try to understand their point of view, and help them to understand yours. Then together, try to think of ways to solve the problem that you are both happy with. It might take a while but it will be worth it, and will help to build your relationship.
“We remember the kindness more than ever, knowing that our relatives who immigrated to this country after the Iranian Revolution did not encounter the same America.” This quote taken from “With a Little Help From My Friends,” written by Firoozeh Dumas, has many impacts on Dumas as a child, how Americans impacted her immediate family, and her family's relationship with the community in California.
If faced with globalization, these people may move away or even learn different languages and just generally become different. This, in Appiah’s view, is not something that we should prevent from happening because within these tiny homogenous pockets are people that long to be different therefore, by allowing contamination to occur, you allow people to shape their own lives instead of them being oppressed into a cultural homogeneity: “there is no place for the enforcement of diversity by trapping people within a kind of difference they long to escape.” (105)
The purpose of the immigrant program is to assist men, women, and families who are having difficulties in regards to cultural
They will consistently need to be reminded that all people, no matter their background, need to be treated fairly and with respect. They will need to be educated as to how to solve a cultural misunderstanding in the most humane way possible. Portraying those who have immigrated to this country in an inclusive and positive light is paramount as our students are being exposed to so much propaganda that may influence them in ways that are not as favorable to all populations. To connect with this theme in class, students could read other books about families that have immigrated to the United States and how that has impacted them. Rukhsana has a multitude of books that could be added to this type of genre study. Even though she does not mention this book directly, it is so eloquently stated that we need stories like this when Grace Cornell Gonzales states within the text Rethinking Multicultural Education, “if we want to provide literature that helps children understand their world better and realize that they are not alone in the ways they feel and the problems they face, it is important to critically analyze children’s books about immigration” (p.
Next, our question was “What can be done about racism and prejudice, in your opinion? How to fix this issue on campus.” Then, Sophia responded as to try to understand the culture and learning the language, and to bring exchange students to American ways. Her answer shows the aspect as a Student Without Border’s executive. She emphasized having open mind and better understanding are important to break differentiation between different cultures.
According to JJArea, et. al, the American Immigration Council is a charitable organization that produces to increase appropriate awareness of immigration issues and teach people how to overcome the stigma of immigrants. Similar services and missions have been reported as the mission of the Community Education Center, in which “values of fairness, social justice and respect for all people” (JJArea, et. al). This program offers its services through classroom resources that increase openness to immigrants. Also, it funds educational projects to help with any immigration concerns in the school systems (“Carson” ). There are other organizations that enforce similar believes of fairness such as: Immigration Advocates Network, Immigration
I am proposing a ministry that builds cross-cultural bridges to unreached people groups currently residing the South Puget Sound region of Washington State. Specifically, this ministry strategy focuses on building relationship bridges addressing the basic needs encountered by new immigrants and refugees as they face the daunting task of integrating into a new culture and society. The two basic elements of this strategy are English language learning and job coaching. These two needs are both mutually inclusive and highly dependent on each other.

Many people probably remember what their first day of preschool was like, having the worries that nobody would like them and that nobody would want to be friends with them. Now, imagine if those people were to go to school around age fourteen to twenty-one having those same worries. How would those people feel? Many people would feel either worried, anxious, or excited. Most of the immigrant students have disabilities and have trouble fitting in with the crowd too. In Dr. Astiz’s class, many lessons were focused on the immigrants being unable to talk or socialize with other students, because they are either afraid of being different or do not speak the language the others speak very well yet.
There are several discourses encouraging immigrants to involve themselves in programs and services created for them. As a result, there is minimal information on the importance of creating programs and services by them. Immigrants know themselves better than policy makers and government leaders because they do not share the same experiences. Immigrants face different barriers (cultural, informational)—compared the Canadian-born—in accessing services that will adequately support, and provide them for their distinct needs (Wayland, 2010, p. 14). Mississauga has immigrant-run programs and services that meet these distinct needs, allowing the integration process of immigrants, and have shaped their overall community. One example is Al-Huda International, an immigrant based organization led and created by Muslim women of Pakistan decent. The founder was an immigrant named Farhat Hashmi who believed strongly in women’s liberation, from a male dominated Islamic belief (mullah) (Shaikh, 2013, p. 63). Though her organization was founded on the need for religious liberation from male dominance, her organization has led to a branch of immigrant services that cater to all ethnic backgrounds. Services include: a campus offering english classes, recreational facilities, libraries, child day care, counselling,
3) What are your strengths and weaknesses? I am compassionate. As I mentioned above the human comes first and without a compassionate approach it is difficult to build trust, respect and lasting partnerships. I believe this to be just as important when conducting negative counseling or terminations. Second, I believe at the core of HR is research. Laws, rules, regulations and best practices often change in this industry. I believe that routine research is essential ensure that an organization remains legally compliant as well on the front end of emerging best practices. I have shown my ability to research throughout my military career as well as my education. Next, I am an excellent communicator. Throughout my career I have been
Our program’s philosophy on positive child guidance is to discipline instead of punishing children for accidents or mistakes they make. With the help of our committed staff, we can provide a positive atmosphere that will allow the children to feel loved and accepted to help build their self-esteem. Our program will offer the children with choices, but there will also be reasonable, and developmentally appropriate limits. The educators will model positive behaviours that will teach the children to problem solve and build self-control in a healthy, and safe way.
I will, show compassion by, noticing when others are hurting compassion starts by noticing when others are sad, hurt, or not felling well. Stop to help when you can. Compassion is not just seeing a need; it means stopping what you are doing and getting involved. Take time to listen, sometimes you can help by just taking time to listen. Do what you can, you can’t solve every problem, but you can usually do something useful, even if it is small. Lastly, Be kind, regardless of difference.
Creating caring communities is critical to a young child and their families because “it supports the development of caring, inclusive relationships for everyone involved.” (Swim, 2017, p.125) We as caregivers have to select ways of helping infants acquire skills to help them interacts with their peers and adults in their lives.
