Cultural Paradigms

                                Cultural Paradigms






Traveling through different parts of my country allowed me to know their customs, traditions, and social behavior. Each town I visited had its social norms or customs that had to be respected. Some seemed out of place to me because they were not allowed to go beyond what they had already achieved. I lived in a neighborhood that surrounded him with many paradigms, my father always said "The one who was born to be fat even if they wrap him up", or "some are born with stars and others with stars" when I asked him for an explanation of his sayings, they did not leave me convinced is it possible that we will never get out of our economic condition? Or if I was born with few academic skills, would I not be successful?
they were paradigms that they brought from their ancestors.
 When I knew the gospel of Jesus Christ, I was still very young, I still received instructions that encouraged me to achieve all the things I wanted if they were good, such as education, develop talents that allow me to be self-sufficient and achieve success through hard work, that each of we as children of God has divine intelligence to be able to be people of positive influence.
Paradigms as established norms for coexistence in a society can be good, but when it is in charge of limiting our progress, it is no longer good, there it is time to break paradigms.
We should not allow any act of not valuing our person, whether we are men, women, or children, race, color, or social condition because if we do it not only affects us but for future generations.

    The culture phrases determine some behaviors and they create some barriers to achieve some goals and some phrases are unpolite and in Mexico, we had one phrase "Aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda" the meaning for this expressions is very rude and unpolite because it means if your ugly no matter what you wear you still ugly. The gospel brings us the opportunity to change these expressions to have a positive influence on others.

      we have the opportunity to change these paradigms from our home to the community around us and start a new society as Sion free from everything that affects the growth of a person: negative phrases, racial, social or gender discrimination.

    Hi. This kind of paradigm that limits us from achieving something beyond what we are now should be eradicated because it could affect our perception of our present and future. It is a barrier and hindrance to pursue our goals. I think they should consider at looking at a different perspective and look for something that would encourage success.

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...
