Answer:
Positive representations of the groups provided -- Hispanic: Strong family ties; Asian: Smart; Middle Eastern: devout; Native American: Respect for Nature.
Explanation:
People from Latin American countries are often depicted as being close to their families and more loving and loyal by having profound respect for their mother, for example. This is a positive representation in respect to Western culture that is seen as more cold and individualistic where we care more about our individual material gain than the welfare of our extended family. North Americans for example focus more on just the nuclear family unit of husband and wife and dependent children. The grandparents, siblings, uncles, aunts and cousins are not as important as they are in Latin American cultures.
While still a stereotype that can also have a negative impact, the representation that Asians are smarter on average is an enduring idea. Particularly in Japan and China, the impression is that students are very hardworking and that they study much more diligently than students in North America and Europe and so they perform better at subjects like science and math. They also make better computer scientists and engineers because they are viewed as having a better and more rigorous foundation in mathematics.
One positive representation of Middle Eastern culture is that it is highly devout. Newspaper articles that contain references to Muslims and devotion usually depict the rituals and pilgrimages in a positive light while giving an account of how devote the followers are and the extent to which they sacrifice time or expense to follow their rituals. These news stories do not represent Muslim culture as negatively as other aspects of Islam are often represented such as the rights of women, for example. Unfortunately many negative stereotypes of cultures from the Middle East are enduring and the West is not as sensitive to misrepresenting people from Arab countries or from Iran as religious fundamentalists who practice an oppressive form of religion.
Native American culture has much more respect for the environment and our natural surroundings. There is a lot of wisdom about the natural world in Native American communities and unfortunately the dominant and mainstream North American culture has aggressively tried to exclude and assimilate Native American people so much of this focus has been lost. Entire communities and cultures were restricted to reservations in ways that did not happen in other cultures with a colonial legacy like Latin America. More work is needed advocating on behalf of Native American rights and respect for the legacy and knowledge they have of their surroundings and respect for the Earth and the power of natural forces like the wind and rain.
Answer: c. Culturally relevant
Explanation: culture plays a role not not just in communicating and receiving information, but also in restructuring and shaping of the thinking process of groups, families and individuals. A culturally relevant perspective tries to avoid serious ethical errors that usually occur while working with minority culture families. It identifies from a family's perspective what is culturally significant to them rather than from a prescribed cultural perspective that may or may not be relevant to the family. It calls for engaging groups whose experiences and cultures are traditionally excluded from those of the mainstream settings, to help them develop positive ethnic and cultural identities while simultaneously helping them achieve goals that are culturally significant to them. Culturally relevant therapists or practitioners that center these goals in their practice, can empower families not only intellectually but socially, emotionally, and politically among others.
Answer: Elisha
Explanation:
Elisha was a great prophet and the successor to Elijah. He was Israel's most revered prophet in the time of Naaman who was the Commander of the forces of the Kingdom of Aram.
Naaman was a leper who had married a young girl from Israel who his forces had captured. She convinced him to go see Prophet Elisha who told him to go dip himself 7 times in the River Jordan which he did after some initial reluctance.
After the 7th dip, his skin was healed by Yahweh and demonstrated Yahweh’s supremacy and grace to all people, even those outside the covenant community of Israel.
Equator.
Is the imaginary line drawn around the earth equally distant from both poles.
