Pakeha world views?

[trump-lady]

If you're 1/3 Maori by blood then you're a very rare breed indeed, and I understood no 1/2 Maoris remain at all. We are none of us "pure" anything, by breeding, and our culture is simply what set of myths, beliefs and behaviours we choose, as individuals, from amongst our perceived heritage.

I believe you're missing what I see as a fairly firm consensus. We seem to be declining to distinguish between one collection of mongrels and another when the only criteria is Culture with a capital C, a behaviour I believe is consistent with a dignified and peaceful co-existence.

A behaviour, further, I would have recognised by those setting your syllabus as both prevalent and valid, whether it agrees with their world view or otherwise. The sheer wast of time and effort such culturally sensitive “education” represents appals me, as it does the vast majority of students, who fail to see the relevance to their chosen field.

I have to disagree that this has no relevance in my field and that this is cultural sensivity. I have been told "dont bother with that family they wont let you in the door" so I to tried and was accepted immediately and told that the family just weren’t comfortable with a white person in their home. Wrong or right thats their worldview. This is extremely important information in regards to my relationship with this family. Once I know this, I am not going to request a meeting with the family and a white CYFs worker in their home. Is that cultural or this families WV?

My field is all about peoples WV and I need this awareness all the time and understanding not just ethnicity WV, Culture WV, Gender WV for the person I am dealing with. Doesnt matter if they are wrong or right I need to constantly be aware of such things in my field like this so I can work with them.



My agency is feministic. I am not a feminist however I still belong to that collective WV in that particular area of thought. So if you asked me is your agency a feminist organisation? Id say yes....doesn’t mean I am. Is that all they are? no, but history of this organisation does reflect a very feminist approach. How I deal with my conflict with that is better if I understand that YES my organisation is Feministic. Now that I can see the organisational WV on why I cant have contact with offenders I can approach things in a bi-feministic? way to my management that wont offend them and also progress my own WV.

I do this daily. Some women I want to yell FFS leave him, but I think about her world view, on family, money, love, and see thats not the way to approach the matter.
Collectively european, pakeha western ideals have some common themes. Individualism, materialistic, industrialism, education, ownership, Christianity etc etc.

I think this dvd assignment was designed simply for this reason. The topic is quite ambiguous and makes the student really think. There are no clear answers and that makes it harder, makes me think more and obviously seek new ways of dealing with it, along the way reflecting on others and self. I have to say I have thought more about this than any other assignment which usually comes easy as there are clear answers.

Two social workers were walking off their $100 McDonalds lunch in South Auckland when they stumbled upon a white guy laying in the gutter, bloodied and bruised from a serious assault. They looked at each other and said, "Oh dear, I feel sorry for the fulla that did this."

No.It was a nurse and a social worker that found the badly beaten up person in the gutter. The nurse exclaimed "this man need my help". The social worker said what about the person that did this 'He is the person that really needs my help"

Sorry but my opinions are based on the fact that my younger sister is a Social worker working in the Northern Territorities and was involved with an Abo child being burnt at school many moons ago now. Our family always felt that as a very wealthy Honk she couldn't be an effective Social worker. Her attitudes to that case didn't change our opinions.
Nothing personal but she is nothing but an "Interferring controlling bitch"

I so stongly disagree with your post but I never red repped you. Thats for my friends. Only jokin

Whatever they feel is right for them. It's not my place to decide for them.

You can set certainly set guidlines while they're at home, treat others as you want to be treated etc, but at the end of the day it's their choice as to what happens when they get older.

hmmmm? - some of my world view(s) in no particular order.

The world is full of 3 types of people, arseholes, sheep and thinkers.

Arseholes are always there, its just the probability being caught and of there being suitably nasty consequences of their actions that governs them.

The go with the flow types (sheep) form the majority of our glorious species. If it is the norm in their particular micro-culture to behave in certian ways, then they will. When they are doing stuff they know is wrong they will justify it to themselves and do it anyway.

Thinkers tend to operate and behave using a set of what is valid and truthful (in their own heads) set of values. Funny thing is that they think before they don't do stuff.

Trouble with this is these are not mutualy exclusive, there are overlaps.

hhmmmm?

Minorities are the most racist

hmmmm?

This religion thing is bollocks - there is no reason why, accept it, it just is OK.

hmmmm?

Our version of democracy is flawed, but I don't see any better successful options out there.

No pictures sorry.
