By doing this assignment, I learned a lot about more than just one country. I learned that we are not also just one country that struggles with the simple basic necessity of healthcare. It is certainly a basic necessity because you never know when you will need it; with everything going on now with COVID-19 I know that everyone should have basic healthcare because it is terribly expensive without it. Also, this assignment I learned that the cost of healthcare is also expensive all around with the minimum being $50. Health care is a very expensive topic and takes a lot of dedication. This is a very informative topic that should be for all.

I have learned a lot just alone from this assignment. It was quite interesting to see how certain, countries advertise and to see the similarities’ and functions of others that is similar to the United States. The advertisement that I picked showed how women were depicted in media and throughout the world from previous times to now. Many times you notice that it is the same for women and how women are portrayed through the media. Looking at the assignment I only hope that women get a more prominent voice in America and breaking down barriers one step at a time. Women deserved to be treated fairly and more like human beings rather than sex objects or humans that don’t have a brain.

Assignment two was a reflective assignment that reflected my childhood and young adolescent life. It made me think of how I was raised in my life and what made me into the person I am today. Based on the article and reflecting I summed up what I thought were the best values in my culture and that I thought was in the American society based on what I see in media, and interacting with others which was directness, openness and honesty. These values were in my life, how I encounter people, and how I converse with others. Now I know that I am not the only one in the world who is like this but, how this return to American society, I can see how that these traits can be viewed as negative. However, these traits are what makes people different and diverse.

  Looking back on assignment one, it really put you in the spotlight for accountability and how you evaluate yourself as a “culturally diverse” individual. By doing this assignment it made me look back and to be actually honest with myself on how much or how little I am diversifying myself on a regular basis. The assignment made me think about who I am engaging myself around, how am I making others culturally aware and how am I engaging others in culturally diverse environments. Reading through the assignment pdf I would have to think about what I say around other people and actually view the statement as culturally harsh or was that ignorant to say to that person? Often times I would have to say that if I do not want others to say that to me why would I say that to them.

This assignment also made me have a greater sense of gratitude and to think about how fortunate I am for everything I am and have as a United States citizen. With everything in the world going on right now I view everyday as a gift and everything that I have as a gift. Everything that I have such as clean clothes to wear, food to eat, money to travel and a car to drive. It made me look back on my traveling trips to see that I am very fortunate to be around culturally diverse individuals and as well as have the opportunity to travel abroad and learn more and more.

I chose this picture because it fully encompasses what I want to say and how I feel with overcoming gratitude and emotion.
