Final Thoughts: Semester Completion

Looking back on this past semester in Intercultural Communications, I have learned a lot about the study of different cultures, but mostly about myself. Through the countless debates within class, I have gained knowledge on the mindset of others as it relates to their culture. I am thankful for the opportunity to experience mental enlightenment. Although I am a regular news watcher, it helps that I have a one on one account of society issues every Tuesday at 5pm.

If I can leave one thing with up and coming students it is to take the opportunities that are given to you and use it to your advantage. Take you college experience and use if for something positive. Whether you realize it or not, you are constantly being watched. Who is to say that someone you do not know is looking up to you? It is those thoughts that must motivate you to be the best you can be. What have you got to loose?

Interracial Relationships (Blog Series Pt. 3)

In concluding with this topic I would like to point out that when it comes to relationships, there is no correct way to be. There is only the respectable way to be. This means that if your partner is experiencing discontent in the relationship, there needs to be a re-evaluation. When different races are involved it is no difference except the bond must be strong enough to withstand ignorance for the outside world.

It is my opinion that interracial relationships and the uncomfortableness it sometimes causes is best for both the relationship and the person (or persons) who is against it. I believe it teaches character on both parts. The internal strength that they gain is unparalleled! Acceptance is the key to understanding. We as humans may not understand the purpose of some trials in life, but it is up to use to breath, reboot and deal with it with integrity.
