Hi I'm Xander This semester, the most relevant things we learned about were
- 00:05 - 00:08
culture, racial themes in the world and sentence structure.
- 00:13 - 00:14
Culture.
- 00:15 - 00:18
Cultural relativism taught us to not always judge a person based
- 00:18 - 00:23
on their cultural differences alone or their cultural background compared to us
- 00:24 - 00:28
as well as showing us that each of us has a similar but varied cultural background.
- 00:29 - 00:32
Some examples of this include our class novel
- 00:32 - 00:36
things fall apart and the amazon series taboo.
- 00:36 - 00:42
This is all useful to know because culture is increasingly spread and learning to
- 00:42 - 00:45
tolerate the cultural differences between each other
- 00:45 - 00:48
is becoming increasingly necessary in society,
- 00:51 - 00:52
racial themes.
- 00:53 - 00:56
This gave us a look and do racial equality
- 00:57 - 01:00
and or cultural equality slash inequality
- 01:01 - 01:01
in the world.
- 01:02 - 01:04
Some examples of this are
- 01:04 - 01:07
the white man's burden and the black man's burden.
- 01:08 - 01:11
Both of these examples showed us
- 01:11 - 01:13
two sides of a dilemma.
- 01:13 - 01:17
This showed us multiple sides of the conflict as well
- 01:17 - 01:20
as helping us learn how to discuss sensitive topics.
- 01:20 - 01:21
Ultimately,
- 01:21 - 01:24
a look into racial equality or inequality help
- 01:24 - 01:26
us better understand the world we live in
- 01:28 - 01:29
sentence structure.
- 01:29 - 01:33
Sentence structure helped reinforce our grammar and punctuation
- 01:33 - 01:35
knowledge as well as improve our writing.
- 01:35 - 01:41
This includes specific and rarely used grammatical devices and punctuation.
- 01:41 - 01:42
For example,
- 01:43 - 01:45
the purpose of a semicolon.
- 01:45 - 01:51
I'm not gonna lie. I wasn't sure what a semicolon was before I was taught in this class
- 01:51 - 01:54
as well as how to identify sentence fragments and
- 01:54 - 01:56
stop them from cropping up in our writing.
- 01:56 - 01:57
Ultimately,
- 01:58 - 01:59
sentence structure
- 01:59 - 02:01
will help us because
- 02:02 - 02:06
correctly phrasing your sentences is becoming increasingly more important in
- 02:06 - 02:10
the modern day as to not offend or look unprofessional.
- 02:11 - 02:15
This can help with anything from emails to writing articles.
- 02:21 - 02:26
In this semester, we practiced many skills that will guide us to the future.
- 02:26 - 02:28
Three of the most outstanding for me were
- 02:29 - 02:32
cultural relativism, racial themes and sentence structuring.
