ABSTRACT
Abstract: This paper aimed to examine the psychology of ethnic minority in The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. It specifically analyzed key incidents that reveal how entrenched power structures enforce a singular narrative of health and illness, often disregarding the Hmong perspective rooted in their cultural beliefs and practices. Furthermore, it discussed the implications of these disparities on the psychological well-being of the family, illustrating how their identity and lived experiences shape their interactions within a predominantly Western framework. The descriptive method was used, and the analysis was based on the Critical Race Theory (CRT). The findings unveiled the systemic racism and cultural barriers that contribute to the miscommunication and mistrust between the Hmong family and medical professionals. Besides, the study recommended recognizing diverse cultural narratives in healthcare to promote equity and understanding, suggesting that a more inclusive approach can bridge the gap between differing worldviews, thereby improving patient outcomes for minority communities.

ABSTRACT
This study presents a theoretical analysis of “The Word,” a poem by Ali Jimale Ahmed, a prolific thinker who is, in addition to being an academician, also a highly regarded poet, literary critic, culturologist, essayist, novelist, and a polyglot whose literary production draws on African, Western, and Arabian/Middle Eastern knowledgebases in their classical, medieval, and contemporary eras. Using English as his chosen medium of communication, and controverting the familiar rhythms, metric structures, alliterated sounds, and rhymes known for the poetry recited in his native Somali tongue, the poet Ahmed explores in this sonnet a terra incognita path of problematizing the function as well as limitations of language, rekindling the essential debate over language on the one hand, and use of poetic language on the other, in his unique style of versal discourse in “the word”.

ABSTRACT
The social and cultural pluralism of modern reality has highlighted the different manifestations of student potential in terms of readiness, interests, experiences, culture, needs and learning capabilities, making the traditional, one-dimensional way of teaching and learning inadequate. Based on this logic, it seems that Differentiated Teaching and Learning constitutes a modern teaching perspective, which, through the utilization of Developmentally Appropriate Programs, is capable of responding to the complexity of the multi-level activation of the psycho-spiritual potential of each student, in the acquisition of skills, in their active involvement in the teaching process and in the development of motivation for the construction of new knowledge. The purpose of this research is to determine the degree of enhancement of the quality of the teaching provided, through the implementation of an annual educational intervention program with the implementation of Developmentally Appropriate Programs within the framework of Differentiated Teaching and Learning in kindergartens. The research was implemented in the academic year 2023-2024 in four (N:4) kindergartens in the Epirus region, of which two constituted the experimental groups and two the control groups. A structured questionnaire with open and closed-ended questions was used to collect the research data. The findings of the research highlighted the importance of utilizing Developmentally Appropriate Programs within the framework of Differentiated Teaching and Learning in providing high-quality education in preschool.
