Sexual Orientation Task
Michael and I decided to go to the Edinburg outlet mall to complete the hand holding part of the assignment. We chose this location because it was a very public place that was on our way back to Greenwood. We held each other’s hands for maybe 5-8 minutes total as we walked around (this was awkward for both parties involved). We found ourselves concerned with people seeing us holding hands since it is an uncommon sight for some people, so we hesitated earlier on. I was trying to not concern myself with the awkwardness and I glanced at people we passed by to see their reactions. We had few people who stared at us but other than that it was a relatively normal walk holding a friends hand (not my sort of normal walk). It seemed like most people didn’t care all that much. I’m sure some of them probably were surprised but they …show more content…

I find the class material to make me think about my relationships with others and it helps me to be better at understanding them. I have come to realize that I have a better chance at understanding people if I look at them as similar and different to myself. This course has also helped me to realize that we all make different meaning out of things and that has helped me to understand that people may not understand information I am communicating to them the way I intended.

How does all this relate to your work as a counselor?
Overall, this task has helped me to understand that it would be hard to be openly gay, even if it’s just for a day. Some people have to live their lives being scrutinized by others just because they are different. This situation has shown me that its difficult to be who you are since others will tear you to pieces if you are different from the social “norms”. It gives me a slightly better understanding (I know I cannot fully understand what gay people go through) of the impact it has on your mind when you are

I would choose the assessment of sexuality IAT.The action plan that I would construct is to reassure myself that everyone has their differences and to put myself in their shoes in which I would not like to be discriminated myself. When my thoughts are getting generated while I speak to someone that are Gay, I would need to detach myself from prejudices consumptions and approach them as a normal human being. Understanding this will allow myself to not feel uncomfortable when I am assisting someone who has gay preference. Overall, equality is the key in a diverse workplace.

Before declaring independence, John Dickinson constructed The Articles of Confederation as the structure of government between the thirteen colonies. In reassessing the structure of government for the colonies, James Madison, Adam Hamilton, and John Jay under the name Publius, wrote the federalist papers. Publius determined the Articles of Confederation to be defective for three main reasons: the abuse of state legislative power, the absence of executive enforcement, and the articles being a treaty, rather than a constitution. The abuse of state legislative power in the Articles of Confederation allowed government laws to benefit the few, and not the common good of the colonies. James Madison, in the Vices of the Political System of the United States, explains that “A still more fatal if not more frequent cause lies among the people themselves.”

The 1920’s is traditionally viewed as an era for the freedom of sexual identity, but some critics such as Elise McDougald, argue that such freedoms raised unforeseen dangers for African American women (Monda 24) since being sexual was directly linked to satisfying racist notions (Scheper 682). In the eyes of white America, the African American ethnicity was teeming with ghosts of “barbarism” (Dawahare 23) that bled directly into the sexual lives of African American women, creating a racist expectation that all African American women are sexually “hypersexual, primitive, exotic, and always available.” In Larsen’s Quicksand, Helga Crane struggles with this racist and sexist “primitive” expectation (Scheper 682) as she attempts to explore her

We sometimes find ourself contemplating about who we are and what do we want in our life. As a gay man I have found myself stuck in many places, this is totally normal. We all try to find that perfect life but sometimes it involves barriers. Being wrong and owning up to what you want in life makes the ride easier. Thus being said, I would like to introduce myself with memories that shaped who I am and the struggles that I’ve achieved.

I can know the actual response from the client or somethings may occur when in the actual counselling session, it helps me to have an experience to try to handle those problems, I believed that it is good for my internship or future career. Observation about the Group Dynamics The general group dynamic I observed during the class practice and presentation was that no one is willing to do the counselor. I believed that acting a counselor is very challenging for us, people who act as a counselor need to use many skills but if act as a group member can do what counselor said only, so people usually do not to be the counselor. And we always use some games to decide who was the counselor fairly, this was the way that we solve the problem.

• I liked the instructional format and structure of this course because it helped me learn in a more productive way than in my other classes. I really liked how we were required to do four reflection papers on the chapters and integration essays because I learned a lot more having to write about the subject in-depth. In addition, the role plays gave me a sense of what the chapter was about in real life situations by us having to act it

On a personal note, the introduction to biblical counseling has provided me with a new perspective on my faith and my relationship with the Lord. The Lord has given me a heart for the lost and a new love for those around me. It has led me to reexamine my priorities and the purpose the Lord has for me. As I study the scripture, I see new opportunities to use my life to help lead others to Christ.

The second week of class really sparked up some great topics that I wanted to reflect on within my paper. From who is in the LGBTQ+ community, to if allies should be considered part of the community, and to multiple identities, I thought that I wanted to do a little more research on these topics and put my knowledge to the test. Some things I agreed with within class, and some things made me question myself and my beliefs. I also came across a few statements that I do not agree with, and I want to exercise my point along with being constructive with them. When it came to who was part of the LGBTQ+ community, I didn’t know there were so many different “parts” of the community.

Before the presentation in class, I’ve had few experiences with the LGBTQ+ community. For myself living on cape cod, I would take trips every summer with my family to Providence town. Providence town is known to be the best-know gay summer resort on the east coast. The best part of being there was to see the pride these men and female people had on their social orientation. They were not scared to hide their true self.
