Social class & Cultural diversity

This week's discussion in the class was Social Class & Cultural Diversity


Social Class
I watched Tammy's Story. In this video, a young boy name Tammy lives in urban area in a container box with his mom and his siblings. He thinks he is in a upper class than his family even though he lives with them. By watching his behavior and what he consider himself belongs to a upper class, the thought came into my mind that how does the Social class works. Does it base on the properties that they owned, money, or education and such. How I identify individuals Social Class is varity, properties,rich, good manner, usaged of words, and their look.

Cultrual Diversity
Brother Williams demonstrated extend family in the class. How their relation will change and it affects the family. While a father lives in forign country for his job, rest of his family stays. This situation reminded me of my family. It was surprising how each student who took father, mother, children's role in Brother Williams demonstration are able to understand the situation that they were in. It was very unique how Brother Williams asked them a question about what they would feel in each situation and I could able to hear and observe the changes and struggles between the family.
In conclusion, from brother Williams demonstration plus my own personal experience, I think family relation can be change in a good and a bad way. It depends on how well we communicate and understand each other. Even though my dad lived in Korea and my mom and my sisters lived in America, my dad would always contact us. Every morning, afternoon, and night, we never felt that we are seperated for long time. My dad was definitly lonely, but our family tried to stay together through a small call each day or a video chat. I think this whole hard experience of live far apart from my dad gave me an apportunities to care and love him more. And  I could realize how much love we have in our family. I really appriciate this experience, it can be a long suffering in some point but this is one of my testimony of long trials. This long trials finally ended and gave me a everlasting blessings and experience in my life.
