Compose a 1250 words assignment on an interview with an adult. Needs to be plagiarism free! Even though she wasn’t working as she wanted to, the only thing she wanted to change about her jobs was to have longer hours for both. Instead of fighting the changes in her career, she accepted them and even made room for them to both exist in her life.

Laura is a very active, interesting woman. In regard to her interests, she describes herself as being eclectic, never “doing one thing for long, and always finding something new to try.” She is very involved in the arts, especially in film and music production. She also makes it a point to read for at least an hour each day, which, as she explains, keeps her intellectual side strong. Furthermore, at fifty-two, she is incredibly physically active, taking classes in yoga, Pilates, and tae-bo. she used to participate in skiing and snowboarding, but “hung up [her] board and poles” after one too many broken bones. Despite that speed bump in her active life, Laura keeps herself physically and mentally stimulated.

Laura has been married to her husband for eight years. This is her second marriage and, as she put it, hopefully, her last. Laura has one daughter from her first marriage, and her current husband has a daughter from his first marriage. Both girls are nineteen years old and are very close friends. Laura’s daughter is a full-time law student and her stepdaughter is an art major. Laura’s husband, Zeke, works as an architect. Since Laura’s first husband and Zeke’s first wife are not in their respective daughters’ lives, the four of them have created their own happy little family together.

Talking about her first marriage left Laura a bit emotional. Her own parents had divorced when she was younger, which left a sour taste in her mouth at the thought of marriage. She had very little dating experience in high school, where she met the man who would become her first husband.

Complete 1 page APA formatted article: Culture and Language. Culture and Language

There is an intersection of language, culture and education in the society. Children’s books and videos as artifacts serve to perpetuate stereotypes. They bring deficit views of culture and language. Bodley (16) believe that language and culture motivate stereotypes. The aspect behind it is that when children are born, the language and culture they are exposed to decide their cognitive structure. The thinking structure of those children born in civilized places with civilized language and culture are more intelligent than those born in remote areas that do not have civilized language and culture. Such children tend to think primitively. The assertion is that members belonging to the same racial group have similar characteristics. Therefore, those who come from uncivilized cultural and language background possess the same features of illiteracy. On contrary those from civilized society are more intelligently. It thus leads to contemporary deficit thinking (22).

The artifacts of videos also contribute to the stereotypes in deficit of language and culture. Different video clips have different messages. There are those that can talk about slavery. Take for instance if the a white child is watching the video that the blacks are being mistreated through beatings and abused with obscene language, the child will imitate the behavior. Whenever the child encounters with the black children, he/she will always look at them in the negative perspective abusing them in the in the same way he/she saw in the video. The above incidence is a clear instance that stereotype of race. It does not only stop there, it goes even beyond developing the superior complex over the black’s culture and language (43).
