ATTRIBUTIONS

 

It is the first time I learn about attribution, and I think it is quite exciting; nevertheless, it is a challenging topic. It is like shredding people's inner thoughts into minimal but revealed secrets, and on the other hand, stretching out the cause, the blame, and the excuse of such an action or attitude.  It is what I feel after learning the types of attributions.

While there is the internal and stable attribution that infers people's behavior caused by personal issues such as traits, abilities, or feelings, these will be the shredding of our conscience and a unique way of doing things.

And if we talk about external and stable, or even external, but unstable attributions can be compared with stretching out the result and consequences of a first act.  It reflects that the blame for a coming lousy situation is not mine, but others.

At this point, I can say that it is straightforward to see the straw in another's eye and not the beam in our own eyes.

I do not know if these attributions are part of different cultures, but South America blames the powerful countries for its failure and being sub developed.  It might be true somehow, yet these developing countries had to ask for considerable loans to make the country grow, and these loans had never been paid due to taxes over taxes. 

So it might be those power countries contribute to having South America delay in progress. Still, at the same time, unfortunately, people of the debtor's countries have shown not to work as hard as ever; they become comfortable without putting effort into growing.

I won't blame the genes of the conquerors who populate these countries, but I can see that it exists some of it, in the subconscious.  So it would be said is an external attribution.  But how much guilty are these countries that have been born with this kind of lazy genes?

So I think it is all about bias against the weak people or about discrimination against influential people.

And here we are.  Here I am amid these attributions that also influences my behavior and my life.

I used to think that whatever bad thing happened to me was somebody else's fault, especially the youth's mistakes; then, it came the time when I blame God for punishing me or testing me in a harassing way.  But with the passing of years, while growing and getting mature, I finally get to accept my faults when they are mine and my successes when they are mine. Still, the optimum of these acceptances is that I understood the lesson that results in this thinking and my actions.

I will always be grateful to my Heavenly Father for allowing me to come to earth, to live, to have agency and freedom to choose, for good and wrong, because it is the way to learn.

I can favor my family and my students to make them learn about these attributions to ponder their behavior and remember to be better.

I would teach my students to learn, to concentrate, to study, not to be procrastinators so that they won't fail, but at the same time to be confident and accept their potential and weaknesses as part of something to work on.

Will this goal be too difficult to attain?

To err is human, not divine.

TEACHING METHODS OF THE FUTURE

    VIDEO:  https://youtu.be/UCFg9bcW7Bk 12/10/2020 W05 "Teaching Methods of the Future." Culture creates false needs and false problems, most of which that embarrasses people in any culture might not be considered the same in your or other cultures. It is called a "Culturally-created false problem" happens because of the paradigms that each culture has in their subconscious, which can be part of their ancestral sets of behavior. Example: In Japan: Kissing and hugging and hand-holding in public are not forbidden, but it is deeply frowned upon; Japanese prizes emotional reservations. In many countries, people can show their love fillings anywhere, regardless of whether people are watching them. Years ago, in my Country, Ecuador, when you were introduced to someone, people used to shake hands, but with Chileans and Argentinians' migration learned to kiss on the chick, and now young people think that shaking hands is odd. When my children went to kindergarten, they...

INDIVIDUALISTIC AND COLLECTIVISTIC ORIENTED. VALUES AND EDUCATION

  I am inclined to write about my particular way of thinking about Individualism and collectivism. But before that, let me ponder what   I understand about individual-oriented such as the ordinary American people. They tend to be individualistic, struggling for themselves, and positive achievements like self proficiency, self-determination, self-reliance, self-independent living, etc. All of it comes from a family environment with the same attitude, motivating their children to be so since they are little in the belief that it will lead them to be successful in the future, therefore beneficial for society.    IT is opposed to collective-oriented, who work on behalf of a group, such as family, party, team, etc. Here the expectations to succeed are not individual as far as it influences or aids the group goal. They would never change to another group.   They have a strong belief in unity and elderly or paternal guidance, protection, or control. So failure will...

CULTUR AND PSYCOLOGY

I am going to start writing about Culturally-created Ought self in my Country.  There is a beautiful city called Otavalo, located in the Province of Ibarra, about 3 hours from Quito, the Capital of Ecuador. So the people from there are called Otavaleños, and it is quite interesting that according to studies made by Mormon scientists, the people are the remnant of the Lamanites. Many Otavaleños accepted the church after reading the Book of Mormon, which has been translated into Quechua; it is what they speak. I have to add that it is not a dialect because it fulfills all the components required to be known as Language. People from Otavalo are a very united community, with high moral and spiritual standards, moreover when they discover that were Lamanites.  They have progressed in all manners; they are brilliant, hardworking, dynamic, love to learn; they are loyal to their customs like the white vestment, which is always clean. They wear alpargatas made out of rope, and that t...
