5/28/21 Personal Space Differences

 


Personal space, how valuable it is to know the limits to which we can access in our relationship with others. Because they are unique beings without replication, the private space is unique too. Whatever our culture, I believe that all human beings feel the need to have their private space, a moment just for you, this is also part of independence.

It would be a perfect world if we kept the social distance, we would avoid misunderstandings and bad experiences, we understand well that the proximity to the intimate area is reserved for the closest family, and as far as you feel calm because if we feel that the proximity makes us uncomfortable then maintain distance.

I do not agree with the excess number of passengers on buses or trains and I believe that countries that allow that should regulate transport conditions, I have always been one of the people who avoid traveling on buses that do not consider the appropriate space between passengers and This happens in my country too and you cannot ask that they don´t be near  you because there are impolite people who say "take a taxi if you are so uncomfortable", how can we solve this lack of respect for personal space? In these times of pandemic, I think we have learned a little more to keep our social distance in the way of health, but this should remain there we can inform why we should be respectful of the personal space of others.

2/6/21 w07 Cross-Cultural Students in the Classroom

  Having Cross-Cultural Students in the Classroom is a challenge for the future TESOL teacher because he must develop a work plan to achieve a good student environment. He will have to consider Asian students with their high respect for teachers, their low expressiveness, and their little participation due to their cultural paradigms. African American students with their active participation and high expressiveness, American whites tend to be less expressive, Hispanics with their high tolerance for expressiveness. Don't let the teacher be surprised if an American student enters the classroom late without apologizing or if African Americans talk too much or if Asians just want to participate all of this is part of cultural behaviors. Professor Ivers said: We live in an egalitarian society, supposedly. Now, is it really egalitarian? Before God we are all equal, we all have the same opportunities and rights, we are all subject to the law. With these precepts we must act before the cro...

5/22/21 Culture Miscommunication

To communicate correctly with the world that surrounds us, even with the closest people, we have to know the way they communicate and that does not imply the language, but the attitudes, gestures, idioms, behavior, customs, and traditions. I want to include this comparative paragraph on how to interpret and understand different cultures. The tip of the iceberg, or the smallest portion that is visible on the surface of the water, presents visible or identifiable components of culture, such as food, clothing, language, dance, arts, etc. These visible components tend to be easily understood at face value. Beneath the surface is the most fundamental and often misunderstood components of culture, such as interpretations, core, and moral values, forms of communication, and assumptions. All of these concepts that lie beneath the surface of the iceberg are complicated and rarely change easily or frequently, making them more difficult for someone outside of the "inner" group to unders...

6/4/21 W07 Differences in Manners

I remember when I was a child the effort you make to follow the rules and good behavior inside and outside the home, I remember saying hello shaking hands I always confused about which hand to greet, and sometimes I did it with my left hand and my mother always remembered me with "The right girl!" And it was unforgivable if he did not greet the elders, well I think that in all cultures good and bad manners are cultivated and what for my culture is good for other cultures will be bad. . Belching If I ever have to be in China or Taiwan, it would be terrible for me to have lunch with them because erupting at the table is a bad way is unpleasant, in my country doing it is a sign of bad manners, rude. Exposing Your Palms While in my country to greet by waving the palms of the hands is a sign of kindness and friendship and it is a habit in Greece it is extremely offensive, if I ever visit Greece I will take it into account I do not want to be offensive.  No Tipping! It's okay y...
