Question

Name a cultural group that is not your own? What is your attitude towards that group? What do the findings from this activity tell you? What surprised you about your thoughts about this culture?

Answer 1

• Cultural Group- Hispanic Culture
• Attitude towards the group- This a vibrant culture with maximum focus on education. They give a lot of respect to their ethics. Most of the Hispanic people are bilingual. There native language is an essential part of their lives. They live with the notion of enthnocentricism. There world majorly revolves around their family. I feel that these people are very family and relationship oriented and their traditions are the most important for them.
• Findings- While doing this activity, I realised that each of the culture is more or less the same. Each one of us gives a lot of importance to the family and near and dear ones. No matter which culture we belong to, we all have a pinch or more of ethnocentricism and are always dying to prove that our culture is the best.
• Surprising element- After doing this activity, the thing that surprised me the most is the fact that we all are so different yet so similar. Despite all the ethical, religious and language barriers, we all love the people around us and respect and preserve our traditions in one or the other way. Despite all these boundaries, at the end of the day, we all wish for peace and harmony.
