I am back and ready to blog again. I was of for awhile because of semester break and going on starting a new semester. I was dealing with somethings but ready to get back into action. I am ready to get back to into action. This time a around I will be blogging actually every Saturday instead of every Sunday. I am still counting my series in culture of disability everything here goes well with the series.

In school this semester I am taking a class called Introduction to Rehabilitation and Human Services. It is basically a class were I learn what I can do in the Human Service filed. This past Tuesday we talked about identity, multiculturalism and acceptance.  First we have to understand some basic concepts. 

Multiculturalism: 

• individual, group and universal dimension of existence
• Universal and culture - specific strategies 
• Individualism and collectivism 

Etic or Universal Approach:

counseling approach that holds that all loci of identity or shared circumstance are essential to the formation of cultural identity. 

Since knowing these things think to you do this activity by yourself. Think about the strongest identity you have as person. I am doing this activity giving examples through my own life.
