Provide your own personal definition of culture…
I would define culture as the knowledge, beliefs, behaviors, and social interactions that are acquired and passed down from one generation to another. It contains various aspects such as language, art, music, literature, food, clothing, rituals, and social norms. Culture plays a significant role in shaping our perspectives, attitudes, and interactions, providing us with a framework to understand and interpret the world around us. Name at least three cultural groups to which you belong that you feel comfortable sharing based on your
personal definition of culture…
Baptist Christian:
African American:
Southern:
Develop at least two to three rules for this course to ensure you feel safe as culture is examined.
When discussing culture, I feel it is essential to engage in respectful and open-minded communication. Such as avoiding stereotypes, do not generalizing or making assumptions about individuals or entire cultural groups based on limited knowledge or stereotypes. Each person is unique, and cultural groups are diverse within themselves. Avoiding derogatory terms, offensive jokes, and language that perpetuates stereotypes or discrimination. Respecting privacy and confidentiality is also important when
discussing personal experiences and cultural backgrounds. Embrace cultural diversity, we all should recognize and appreciate the diversity of cultures and the contributions they make to society and understand that no culture is superior or inferior to another.
Encouraging constructive feedback and dialogue that fosters growth and understanding is another important aspect. Emphasize the value of providing feedback respectfully, focusing on ideas and perspectives rather than attacking individuals personally. This helps create a supportive learning environment where we all feel comfortable expressing our thoughts and receiving feedback without feeling attacked or discouraged.
Respect personal boundaries, I think it’s important that we recognize that not everyone is comfortable discussing their culture or personal experiences. I feel it’s important to be considerate and respectful of other's boundaries.
