What does your ethnicy say about importance of family, work, being on-time, eating at the table with family, about marriage, about the wife's role in family, about children dating, about cars, about women's clothing, about shoes, about paying bills ontime, about tithing to church, about supporting the poor by working/giving to food banks, thrift stores?
Surely some of these beliefs affecta your behavior, attitudes, and values.
Ok I wrote it like this....Please suggest what I can add more to it to reach 200 words.. I only have 137 words right now.....
Family is important to me and I try and teach my children about values. We do not all eat at the table together but I do try and make it a prority at least once a month.Work is important to me and I try to instill that in my children. Being married is not always a bad thing. It does have its time where it affects everything I do. I believe the role of a wife or husband is important and they should be treated like they want to treat someone. Children are imporatnt in this world. Dating does affect many behaviors,attitudes, and values. Dating, cars,clothing, shoes, paying bills, going to church if you believe in that, about supporting the poor by working/giving to food banks, thrift stores is important and affects behaviors, attitudes, and values.
They can even change my mood.
You need to make your essay much more personal about YOUR values and beliefs and actions.
Your question asks about your ethnicity.
From what countries did your ancestors come?
Do you remember what your parents and grandparents taught you about personal behavior, attitudes, and values?
Start your essay by including the above facts in your introduction.
Then go into specifics. How do you teach your children that family is important? What do you do as a family with your siblings, relatives and your children?
Your statement that being married is not always a bad thing tells the reader nothing.
Your comment about treating others (husband, wife) the way you want to be treated is good. Expand on this. What about coworkers, friends, family and neighbors? How does this relate to your ethnicity?
Explain what you mean by "Children are important in this world." What do you do to show your children that they're important?
Omit the part about dating.
Do you buy expensive cars, clothing, and shoes? Why or why not?
If you don't go to church, you should probably omit this too. If you do go to church, why?
Why is paying bills important to you? Does this have anything to do with doing unto others as you would have them do unto you?
Do you give to charity? Would you give to charity or work in a thrift shop or foodbank if you had time and money? Why?
What changes your mood?
Please revise your essay and repost it.
Sure! I can help you brainstorm some ideas and guide you on how to approach this assignment.
When reflecting on how your ethnicity influences your personal behavior, attitudes, and values, it's important to consider your cultural background and how it shapes your identity. Here are some suggestions on what you can write about:
1. Personal experiences: Think about specific moments in your life where your ethnicity played a significant role in shaping your behavior, attitudes, or values. These experiences might include family traditions, cultural celebrations, or interactions with individuals from different ethnic backgrounds.
2. Cultural values: Consider the values that are commonly associated with your ethnicity. Reflect on how these values have been instilled in you and how they shape your personal behavior and attitudes. For example, if your ethnicity values family bonds, you can discuss how your strong sense of family influences your choices and relationships.
3. Ethnic identity: Reflect on how your ethnicity has influenced your sense of identity and belonging. Discuss how this sense of belonging has affected your behavior and attitudes towards others. You could explore the ways in which you engage with and represent your ethnic community, or how you navigate the intersection of multiple ethnic identities, if applicable.
4. Social awareness: Consider how your ethnicity has made you more aware of social issues and inequalities. Explore how this awareness has influenced your behavior, attitudes, and values. This could include discussing your involvement in activism, community work, or even the way you approach conversations about diversity and inclusion.
5. Education and upbringing: Reflect on how your education and upbringing within your ethnic community have shaped your behavior, attitudes, and values. Consider how cultural traditions, languages, or beliefs passed down through generations have influenced your perspective on various aspects of life.
As you discuss these points, remember to provide specific examples or anecdotes to illustrate your ideas and make your statement more engaging. It's also important to acknowledge that everyone's experiences are unique, and not all aspects of your behavior, attitudes, and values may be solely influenced by your ethnicity.
Once you have decided on the main points you want to include in your statement, you can start writing and expanding upon each idea. Begin with an introduction that sets the context, develop your main points in the body paragraphs, and conclude with a summary of your key takeaways.
Remember to proofread your statement for clarity, coherence, and adherence to the word count. Good luck with your assignment!
