CROSS-CULTURAL STUDENTS IN TE CLASSROOM

Indeed, time changes people's behavior. Especially nowadays, some values have also changed, and what was wrong before now is correct and vice versa. The changes between my generation and the new ones are fantastic.

If there was a generational gap expected, the actual opening is wide, different, but scary.

If we talk about cultures, I dare to say that not many of them still as it started. Some aspects that make these changes happen are Globalization, the internet, and the new laws that permit some prohibited things before, laws where corruption has no punishment. Still, victims are questioned or even put in jail. We see people who are fighting in pro-abortion, a variety of genres, for example.

It is a clear demonstration of how this time, the gap generation has gone too far.

In this regard, we can talk about the Standards for a student in the class and the teachers.

In my country, when I was young, we didn't have a set of rules to behave in class. It happens that students used to respect teachers and vice versa. We knew to respect our adults, our parents, or older adults.  

I studied in private school for Young Woman, it was conducted by Catholic   Nuns, we were just seven students per class, so we learned to behave like ladies, very obedient, with high moral and spiritual values. But at that time, people in my country were like that also. Of course, in some schools, there were  indiscipline students and were sent to the Headmasters office, to have serious talks, a king of disciplined punish or even expelled.

But unfortunately, with the government, we had the last 12 years who favored XXI Socialism, they changed the rules and stated that whatever lousy behavior was in class was the teachers' fault.

Moreover, parents could not tell off their children because they were taught that they could take their parents or teachers to court. So it happened that the ten years that I worked in a school, I had to be very careful about what word to say when there were nasty students. This law turned the student and children at the same time to be disrespectful and threatening.

Some young parents who get adults within these ten years were always against teachers, so they forgive their children errors and put them above teachers, who became low social levels without much in favor. There is a lot of things I can say about it.

As far as my experience, I haven't seen much difference in attitudes among other cultures students. Nowadays. Most of them come from Europe or the USA or even some, but few from Asia and I do not see much contrast; kids and young people act, move, and behave very alike according to current tendencies.

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...
