CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION


There are six continents globally with many countries where people live in different towns and cities, influenced by geographical locations, past historical events, the standards for everything, and the gathering with people of other parts that converge in various cultures.

These differences in culture provide some customs in the behavior of people. How to talk, get interpersonal contact, ask or answer to offer or reject. Even the way a person stands or sits can mean something different.

What is right or stock in one place can be the opposite in another.

Americans are proud people; Germans consider themselves the perfect and pure race globally; Japanese and Chinese are humble; it is deemed great value.

Spanish people are loudly talkative and cheerful people, like Italians. People from South America are Latins, therefore are kind and hospitable people.

There are essential facts in how these societies act in front of any situation; it depends on the level of education and the acquaintance of polite standards, religious beliefs, and historical events that left bruises and clues to behave.

As a parent, we suggest and demand that a teacher should be aware of these cultural differences. It is crucial to get to know individual students very well; to break the gap in understanding.

Teachers might have to speak with their parents and learn about their country, language, socio-cultural level, and lifestyle.

In this way, the relationship between student and teacher can be optimized to comprehend and learn the teaching inputs. It will help the students get used to the new language and country or cities' customs.

The questions are: How can a teacher be aware of so many cultural differences?

Are they supposed to take courses about it?

Teachers will never know in advance what kind of place would a student come from.

Isn't enough to develop inner teaching skills and the will to comprehend a student with a different culture?

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...
