Cognitive Belief Learning occurred through interactions with others in our communities: peers,
adults, teachers, and other mentors. People learn in a social environment and
created a unique theory on social learning. Culture was a primary determinant of
knowledge acquisition.
Work Style My style of work is incredibly versatile, requiring me to be adaptive when
working on so many different projects. Generally speaking, I try to concentrate on
one project at a time, working as fast as possible, but effectively, to produce the
best results. All of my projects need teamwork, so I search for mistakes using the
team environment. I'm a perfectionist and a motivated worker, and I believe that
my communication is straightforward.

Activity III
1. Explain these metaphors: the United States is a “melting pot”, a “salad bowl”, a
“kaleidoscope”, or a “bowl of soup”.
All of us grew up hearing the metaphor, “melting pot” implies that immigrants change to fit the
society of their new home, “salad bowl” implies that immigrants retain their cultural identity in
their new home, “kaleidoscope” implies that both the immigrants and society adapt and change.
All of these are incorporated in the diverse culture of United States, “bowl of soup” implies that
the older the generation, the more the product it creates makes people unite and create thicker
ties.
"The Melting Pot," published in 1904 by Israel Zangwill, was about the immigration of a
Russian Jewish immigrant to the U.S. to avoid racial cleansing in his homeland. Here, as the
distinctions between races "melted away" due to cultural exchange being the norm, he finds
affection, acceptance, and belonging.
The United States of America became known internationally as the great melting pot in the 20th
and 21st centuries. Immigrants came to this nation with the belief in their hearts and minds that,
no matter their backgrounds, they might become Americans.
However, in recent metaphors suggests that America may actually be a salad bowl. There are
various colors, different smells and a number of different vegetables packed with a salad. A
tomato from a cucumber, we can say. Tomatoes and cucumbers, however, fit into the same bowl,
and can even complement each other.
The U.S. has been compared to a salad bowl since the 1960s, which many individuals consider to
be a more fitting comparison. Different cultures coexist, much like multiple vegetables, but
maintain their own identities.
Law and the free market is the dressing that gives the salad its special taste. These laws ought to
be observed by all cultures. In addition, cultures are free to speak their own language, worship as
they wish, and follow their own custom.
The next metaphor is about adaptation and change as what we compare in kaleidoscope. E
Pluribus Unum" was the motto proposed for the first Great Seal of the United States by John
Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson in 1776. A latin phrase meaning "One from
many," the phrase offered a strong statement of the American determination to form a single
nation from a collection of states. Currents of cultural, demographic, and social change have
eroded certain foundations of American identity over the last decade, like a river cutting through
rock. America is shifting from a single universal experience to a panorama of alternative
experiences on every front. Simply say that Americans embrace change and adapt them.
On the other hand, a good, thick soup requires patience. If I toss all the vegetables into a cast-
iron pot and simmer it for hours, they dissolve into something quite different from their
individual selves. Soups get better over time, tastier on the second or third day. And if you
continue to add new vegetables, as the soup invites you to do, new flavors develop a harmony
with the old, courageously contributing their cherished distinctiveness to create something far
richer than themselves.

The American people not only practice reverence and love for each other with or without these
metaphors, but the world as a whole. No matter what color you are or what you are in this world,
we will all pass away at the end of the day and face the judgment of God. Time is ticking to do
well and live according to God to be good, and that's when you feel true love and peace.
