Interview With Pinakshi Gogoi
Peer interview Project I decided to interview Pinakshi Gogoi. She is a friend that lives in my residence floor. When I first meet Pinaksi Gogoi, I automatically assumed she was Indian. I not only did I just notice her race, but how friendly she was when we meet. When I saw Pinakshi, she seemed to look like a quiet person but on contrary she was out going and really nice. Another thing that is just really common to assume is that she is straight. Of course I did not know for sure if these things were true or not when I meet her; its just a reflects you get when you meet someone new to assume things about them. When I interviewed Pinakshi, she did confirm her race; she is Indian from the mid west. She is from a Hindu family and is quite

    PSY 3182 Case Study 1

    In order to acquire John’s worldview and bring out his strengths and weaknesses, I would have to use both forms of questions. After I build an alliance with John, I will try to inquire about John’s worldview by asking him what his cultural background is. If it is similar to mine, I may be able to use questions freely. However if his background differs from mine, it would prove to be a bit more difficult but not impossible. For example if I ask John, “what is your ethnic background?” and he identifies as African American I would not make assumptions, learn about his culture from other sources, admit ignorance, look for similarities, and be sensitive to his expectations and needs.…

    Alice Wathan Interview Research Paper

    When interviewing my grandma I had a lot of fun. It was neat learning from her experiences and being able to learn about some of her childhood that I did not already know about. Because she is always listening to her records I decided to start off with that subject. When I brought this up I found it interesting that her face lightened up and it was almost as if she was glowing. I asked her many things and I loved the way she went into so much detail about a specific artist. She talked about Rockabilly a lot! I can’t remember everything she said because she talked to fast but I do remember that she said “He was the best country western artist of the…

    BEH 225 Evaluation and Judgement

    When evaluating or sizing up people for the first time, we use a “schemata” (Morris & Maisto, 2010, pg. 456) or preconceived set of beliefs or expectations about the category or type of person that we initially believe them to be. We look at their clothing, hear their speech patterns and pay close attention to their body language. After this we generally delve into their personality deeper while investigating their personal beliefs and morals while comparing them to our own. Using these schemata though will often lead to stereotyping but no matter how often it is wrong while receiving first impressions, we usually continue to use those preconceived beliefs when meeting new people.…

    Research Paper: Marjane Satrapi

    Beset with the unthinkable, the Islamic Revolution defines turbulent times for many Iranians (Tehran). Numerous females including Satrapi were robbed of their social rights due to westernizing and secular efforts (Tehran). In turn, the Islamic Revolution undermined the younger Satrapi’s ability to come to terms with her own identity; nevertheless, she now writes to share her experience with oppression and her later journey towards cultural integration.…

    Some of the people think that they can determine everything about the people by their race, such as culture, background and personality. I think that you can only determine some things by the race because my friends proved that to me. I met them in the college, their names are Justin and Garfield. They both shared the same race and ethnicity. However, there are some differences and similarities between them.…

    Aisha's Interview Paper

    There were many factors to focus on when conducting Aisha's interview. Her issues were not only limited to the beginning of adolescent years but also, in fact, had much more to do with her background. Coming from a Traditional Muslim family living in the west started to become an idea she hated and even feared to embrace. Being Muslim and an adolescent in a western society, Post 9/11 became a lethal idea to her. Not only did she struggle with her parents but also, struggled with making friends in the beginning when she wore the hijab. She explained the feeling to be overwhelming because she was in a constant battle between culture, religion, and society every day. She always felt like she had to try 10 times more than the person who wasn't…

    Received Homophily Measure Essay Questions

    This means that I perceive her background to be moderately similar to mine, which I can also agree with to an extent. I know we both grew up in small towns and went to small high schools and we both ended up at UW-Whitewater. The basics of our life kind of seem genrally the same, however I know that they most likely aren’t. I am Mexican-American so I know right away that our backgrounds are culturally different which is a very decisive thing to determine background similarity. I know that she hasn’t experienced a lot of the same things I have experienced and vice versa. I know that our cultural influences are slightly different. Since my family is Mexican I know that communicating with her is always going to be slightly different than when I communicate with someone else within my cultural background who shares my same attitudes, beliefs, and customs. For instance, if I were to tell her about some of my family’s traditions she most likely would not be able to relate at…

    The Influence Of Asian Americans On TV

    The stereotypical roles of Indians in film and television almost exclusively require actors to speak with heavy, Indian accents. Taking that a step further, it is reasonable to assume that these characters grew up or at least spent some time in India or neighboring countries before migrating to the US, and therefore a good percentage of these characters are immigrants. This means that the number of non-immigrant Indian Americans being represented in television is very small. This erases the identities of such Indian Americans as Aziz Ansari, further setting back the cultural perception of Indian Americans and of immigrant assimilation. And with so few Asian American actors being cast to begin with, this is more harmful than…

    "Whenever I'm around people and they don't know that my husband is black, that's when I get their honest opinions," she says. Sometimes the opinions are racist against blacks and painful for her to hear, she says. Regardless of the biases people harbor, she says, she's glad to have such an intimate perspective on race in America a perspective she says she would not have if she hadn't married someone of a different race.

    Mixed Race

    It is exciting that multiracialism brings all races closer; however, it also raises problems due to its complexity. Multiracial people’s appearances are usually exotic and hard for people to define their races. “What are you?” is probably the most commonly odd questions they receive when meeting new people (Chang- Ross, 2010, p.108). Even though it is not a pleasant question to be asked, it still shows that people…
