INTIMATE ZONE

 

It has been exciting to read and listen about the bubble protection that every person has around to protect the Intimate Zone, which consists of having a private space that separates their ownership, talking of their body, and extends to material things and properties.

I understand that this length space size changes according to the cultures of different countries. Depending on social status, urban habitats, and even gender, age, and race, this social distance varies.

I would say that everyone moves in a self-defense way; it might be programmed in our conscious, perhaps because of an antique fear of the unknown  risks that could harm;   and that humans  had faced along with its evolution and development.

If this behavior of protecting a private space also happens in animals; it proves my theory of collective self-defense attitude.

Taking all the concepts described in the readings into consideration, we can say that the measurement of these distances affect and influence relationships with others,

such as family, friends, partners, and strange people.

How they relate to each other, have different results that we have to be aware of, especially if we go to live in another country.

It is a saying that says, If you go to Rome, do what Romans do; it means that we have to respect specific rules like the distance when interacting. Of course, it does not mean whatever wrong thing they might do, but specific social and cultural positive standards,

Let us discuss the importance of having this Personal Space, respect to the Zone Distance, even more, the Intimate Zone with vulnerable length in classrooms.

For example, the order of desks in the classroom, who sits where, and next to whom, need a teacher observation to enhance harmony and prevent odd discipline.

I learned something that is my personal policy. My boundary finishes when your limit starts.

People talk about rights for everything all the time, less about obligations, but not many people understand that your rights finish when mine starts. As a teacher, I would encourage my students to be aware of this, so the Zone Distance, the Intimate Zone, can be much more understandable and therefore respected.

My questions are: Social distance of two meters for COVIT19 was taken out of studies such as those we have read in this course?

And why is it that young people tend to surpass the natural Intimate Zone nowadays in such ways that are almost violation, and not the passing generation?

    Hello Patricia!

    It was a great post. I loved that phrase: "My boundary finishes when your limit starts." it is a clear demonstration of respect instead of selfishness.
    I don't have answers to your questions. Both are very profound for my little knowledge, but I just want to add that due to intercommunication around the world, there are many manners that maybe not typical from our own culture but can be seen in the young people of our countries. I think that the exchange of cultures can affect in a positive way our cultures but also in negative forms.

    Thanks for sharing!

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...
