This family heritage discussion forum involves the purposeful gathering of information, artifacts, anecdotes, records, graphs, and reflection statements to tell the story of your ethnic heritage and in particular the story of the oppression within your personal culture group. The purpose of the assignment is to encourage critical self-reflection and explore oppression from your point of you, in your shoes.
Understanding your cultural background is a crucial first step in developing cultural competence. This reflection process is intended to help you understand how your ethnicity and experiences affect your beliefs, thoughts, and biases concerning groups that are different than your own. Remember that older persons have a great appreciation for their cultural history and practices. Oral histories are an important source of information.
You may discuss family traditions, parenting styles, values, rules, habits, sayings, food, attitudes, religion, discipline, etc. Students are encouraged to discuss clothing, costumes, music, dance, or family specialty foods. Describe your ethnic/racial mixture, stating which ones you have selected for this forum and why. You may describe what and how you were taught about race/ethnicity and culture in your family and community, including your own and groups other than your own. Tell us about the specific ways in which your experiences have influenced how you view and relate to people from different backgrounds. *(on New Years Day we go to my grandparents house to drink Soup Joumou ( pumpkin soup)
