The General Business 365 Lead Course - 1225 Words

During the first week of the General Business 365: LEAD course, I remember being asked to turn to page 12 and to answer the prompt â€Å"I am†¦Ã¢â‚¬  in 60 seconds. I stared at the question for a couple seconds, hesitated, and then wrote down the words that were coming to my mind. It reminded me of the first day of my English Composition 100 class senior year when my English teacher walked to the front of the class and wrote on the board, ‘Who Am I?’ and said, â€Å"Respond to this prompt.† There were five students in the class, and we sat there in our desks with blank faces, not knowing what to write. One student raised her hand and asked, â€Å"What do you mean by ‘who am I?’† Our teacher responded, â€Å"It is up to your interpretation.† In both situations, I†¦show more content†¦People of color usually mentioned their racial or ethnic groups that they belonged to, people for example who were Jewish would mention that they were Jewish, and people who identified as bisexual, gay, or lesbian would mention their sexual orientation. Tatum then went on to say how most white people would not mention they were white, Protestants did not mention their religious affiliation, and heterosexuals did not mention their sexual orientation. As I read this in the article, I started to notice all my previous unconscious observations of this concept and put both those observations and the article together. What Tatum was saying made sense to me; people who had distinct identities usually would mention and notice them. It was a way for them to differentiate themselves from other people. I started to realize that identifying myself as an Asian American was a way to make myself different from the rest of the crowd. One observation I have noticed throughout my life is that some people can get uncomfortable when talking about identity. Even in our General Business 365: LEAD course, some students would accidentally stray away from identity and start talking about their strengths and weaknesses and personalities instead. On that day when we were talking about identity, I remember personally getting a little tense. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that identity can be a sensitive topic for many people. For me, it got uncomfortable because as aShow MoreRelatedAccounting753 Words   |  4 PagesCampbellsville University School of Business and Economics SYLLABUS Course Title: ACC 601 Managerial Accounting Semester/Dates: Graduate Term 1: August 29, 2011 – October 23, 2011 (Traditional MBA) Meetings: Thursday (6:00 PM – 10:00 PM), AD 25 Faculty: Dr. Sunny Onyiri Office: AD 29-b Phone: (502) 365 4424 Read MoreArticle Analysis for Economics1636 Words   |  7 PagesPrinciples of Microeconomics ECO/365 Professor James Harris III Aug 7, 2008 Article Analysis The article that will be used for this analysis is â€Å"Supply, demand, and the Internet-economic lessons for microeconomic principles courses† by Fred Englander and Ronald L.
