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...

TIME IS OVER?

  It has been fascinating to learn about the Monochronic and Polychronic way of managing the time. If the Americans, especially the North Americans are monochronic; In that case, no wonder their famous saying, "Time is money" means that despite putting apart the family, business people would fulfill their duties according to the already set up schedule. On the other hand, most countries are supposed to be polychronic, especially the South's Americans, or the Latins in general. There is also a saying, "get fun today because you will die tomorrow." In this manner, their idiosyncrasy makes them procrastinate things to do, or change appointments for another, without having respect if, in this shift of schedule, they could hurt or make somebody loses their precious monocratic time. Even though Latin people are a little less responsible with their compromises, it is worthwhile that they would always be aside their family and friends. However, it somehow turns ...

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...
 Is the Great American Teacher Dead? Teachers worldwide might be facing a sort of death because the world is, in part, dying as well. I refer to the actual times, where the ghost of death, desolation, loneliness, and lack of hope fill the spirits of millions of people. COVIT 19 has closed theaters, museums, stadiums, institutions, and schools.  Now they teach through a screen, all day sitting, looking at their students without felling the worm closeness. I am a heart teacher, as every mother is.  But I have also worked as a teacher.  It is not only a lovely demanding profession but an especial mission that deserves the most attention and care because we are responsible for making the students learn whatever is necessary to accomplish this relevant part of life, that are the basis of the future. But I am a student as well.  I think that teachers have to have unique tactics, knowledge, gift, background, and capacitation.  They have to prepare exciting and enj...

To blog or not to blog

I should answer, "that is the question," it would sound perfect.  But it isn't right, yet it is not a matter of a profound question that deals with the existence of the being.  Nor Hamlet's question. Never the less it is a valid doubt because to write a blog, there must be a real purpose so it can reach souls in need of an answer or in need to express themselves departing from someone else thoughts as a way to take inside perspectives and ideas.  To Blog If I started writing a blog, I would begin by asking my self: what is inside me that I can share with others in such a way that I can get answers, inquires, commentaries, and any kind of replies that will show that my words were interesting, that I made somebody ponder about my stories, consider about their lives maybe, or just had a negative impact that deserved to have responses in that way. Not to blog On the other hand, if I do not write a blog, I will keep my feelings, experiences, advice, and fantasy just for my...
