Cultural Appropriation: The difference between honoring another's culture and stealing ones culture.

The author reviews the purpose of Residential Schools for the Deaf and how they influence the social life and wellbeing of the children who are sent there for the better. The article shows a bias leaning towards the schools although there are many hearing families who find themselves troubled by the idea of sending their Deaf children away from K-12 but the article brings forward the positive aspects of how a residential school is uniquely capable of helping deaf children develop confidence and capable social skills that would allow them to experience a proper education unlike a mainstream public school in which they would most definitely be out-casted by their lack of resources, culture, language, and role models. It shows both the pros and cons of the residential schools for the Deaf in America but with a clear bias, however this is not unreasonable. Despite the clear bias towards residential schools from the author the article offers a point of view of hearing parents finding issue with sending their child away from home for long periods of time as they would experience with a residential school.

Conservative Republican lawmakers introduce bills to censor ethnic cultural classes on K-12 and College campuses.

I heard about that. That is a violation of the freedom of speech and expression.

I heard about this the other day and was blown away by it. It made me laugh that this Rep. thought that ethnic or cultural classes insight violence and discrimination. In my opinion, they do just the opposite. When you learn about another culture you are able to understand their background more. It creates an environment in which understanding occurs and you are better informed on the struggles of a specific ethnic group. Being informed is never a bad thing and if someone thinks it is then clearly they need to take a few ethnic cultural classes to get rid of that ignorance.

The societal structure and the culture of a nation play a significant role in police making for the impoverished.

There's a problem arising among the millennial generation, a generation that values art and culture. But it's beginning to take a turn, it doesn't like any form of authoritarian figure, whether it be from the left or right. These are the people who stand up against false grievances and over exaggerated remarks towards race, color, and gender.

This is completely true, this generation has been so manipulated by the media, which they have depended on so fiercely as of late, that they will listen to anything they hear, and automatically believe they are experts in the field. People need to educate themselves, and grow up, and fast, because a generation of socialist, social justice warriors, that are uneducated, and have a twisted sense of justice have risen.

I really like the use of "trigger words" in education. I don't think it matters if it is used in college or in K12. The whole point is to alert you to a possible trauma causing conversation or topic that could come up in class that could make someone uncomfortable. Unfortunately there are so many triggers in the world today that you could never call out all of them. The teacher made reference to an apple. Who would think that was a trigger? Not I.

There are many risk factors to eating disorder, however they are not what cause the disorder but can contribute to developing an eating disorder. Psychological risk factors are low self-esteem, lack of control on life, anxiety, anger, stress. Some social factors to eating disorder are wanting to obtain the "perfect body", the cultures definition of beauty.

I think a huge impact on a person eating habits is how society views people. People are constantly told to look a certain way, do certain things, and it eventually becomes ove whelming. These factors can lead to person having a eating disorder so that they can feel accepted in society.

Lots of treatment options are available for the ones who are suffering from these disorders. One is psychotherapy by talking to a psychologist, about 50% of these patients are suffering from depression. Another kind of treatment is a cognitive behavioral therapy where you set goals and helps change unhealthy thought patterns. Nutritional counseling is also a treatment by eating healthier to maintain your body healthy. However, some patients need a medically supervised diet to get back to a healthy weight.

Eating disorders are very common in today's society, but there are patients who have faced eating disorders and overcome them. With the treatment of therapy, counseling, and a supervised diet, many people who suffer from eating disorders can learn how to defeat them and avoid the possibility of facing the disorder again.

The scary part of eating disorders is how deadly they can be. The more a person starves themselves, the more muscles are eaten up; including the heart. I think it would interesting to see how eating disorders manifest in different cultures or minority groups. I know that eating disorders for women can be different from that of men and the method of treating that is also interesting.
