5/5/21W07 Culture and Psychology

  Can our social culture influence our psychology? It seems that if it influences and can affect our esteem, whether of gender or capabilities, cataloging women as being the devil sex was one of the paradigms that is being removed from our current society or that men do not cry, why not? we are human beings with feelings and we can cry, laugh without determining who can and who cannot. In our Latin American culture, there is not much difference between one country and another about the differences they make between women and men or between boys and girls, but this type of behavior is changing, I can see it in adolescents, they have more extensive information. of the place, that man or woman occupies in society and they have broken many paradigms that in my adolescence limited me to do many of the activities that I would have liked to do and I am glad that this happens because there should be no difference in capacities between men and the woman and not by the race that defines us. ...

  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.
