How does ethnocentricity cause conflict?
In year 1788, the British arrived to Australia to colonize and they settled the place where nowadays we call as Sydney. The British were surprised at what they were looking because the First Australians were different from them. The First Australians had different skin color. Their culture, law and their believe system was all different. Therefore, the British wanted to connect with them to gain the relationship. Hence, they sent their leader Benelong to change him like as British. Eventually, their plan was unsuccessful and they described Benelong as unchangeable animal and this lead the British and Australians to ethnocentric. Although their relationships looked close and well built, from the British point a view they described First Australians as savage, wild, uneducated and uncivilized, these thoughts lead them to think that the First Australians were not human. Thus, as the British law they could take over the lands because natives were not human, which means there were no owners and therefore they had rights to colonize and to take over the land. Yet, The First Australians couldn't escape as their law was pay back. Then at the end they had a war and the natives lost. Therefore, after the war the natives didn't have a rights and to speak.

Julius Caesar: Solo/Duet Performance Assessment
Artemidorus: Caesar, beware of brutus; take heed of cassius; come not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna; trust not Trebonius; mark well Metellus Cimber; Decius Brutus loves thee not; thou hast wrong'd Caius Ligarius. "There is but one mind in all these men, and it is bent against Caesar. If thou beest not immortal, look about you: security gives way to conspiracy. The mighty gods defend thee! Thy lover, Artemidorus.
Here will I stand till Caesar pass along, And as a sitter will I give him this. My heart laments that virtue cannot live out of the teeth of emulation. If thou read this, O Caesar, thou may'st live; If not, the fates with traitors do contrive.
Context: Artemidorus is writing a letter for Caesar about in ides of march and beware of conspiracy
Artemidorus is saying that Caesar beware of brutus, Casca, Cinna, Trebonius, Metellus Cimber, Decius, Caius Ligarius and cassius. They might kill you in ides of march. However Their is irony that is Caesar going to believe it or not. Therefore, Artemidorus is saying that "If thou read this, O Caesar, thou may'st live; If not, the fates with traitors do contrive.
I chose this passage because to show that also someone in the Rome who is on Caesar's side so that he wants to save Caesar.

My learning profile
I am a logic thinker with an "A" profile. I was suprised by the sheet because it was written as I learned best when I focus on the details and I have an ability to follow step-by-step visual and auditory instructions. When I first read this learning profile sheet I didn't never noticed and I thought I was very bad at those things. However, now when I think about my past experiences actually some were correct and it was just for me. For example, the language is very imprtant for learning but, I have to work more harder to improve myself.
I think my weakest part is doing work by step by step, I always prefer to do work step by step and to rememmber to do it, but I always keep forget it. Personally I think that is the reason why I keep loosing my points in test or in projects. also I am using only left brain because I use my right side of hand, leg and eye. Therefore, I would have some difficulties for connecting emotional informations. In this case, I have to particepate in class with possitive and enjoyable motion experiences will help me.
The strategy to help me with my learning would be to always think myself and remmber to work step by step so that I do not ever make any mistakes. Also try to use more my right side of brain so that I can hear and see more efficiently.
The teachers may want to know about me that I really like to sit in front!!! It helps me to particepate in class so that I don't talk with my friends so that I do not miss any keypoints and also to sit infront may help me because I will ask more questions and answer more qustions so that I understand better and focus more.

Learning profile
I am a logic thinker with an A profile.
1. I learn best when I listen instructions from teachers so that I follow correctly though the step.
2. I need to learn best by focusing on the details. Processes by analysis, verbalization, writhing and concentrating.
3. To help my learning I should be able to pick up the details of information through the eyes and ears even under stress. Also the language which is speaking and writing is very important for learning. Lastly I should have ability to follow step-by-step visual and auditory instructions.
4. I would like my teachers to know the about me that I am really hard worker for preparing for the class sometimes I look over the works that I done in class.
