Some of us have repeatedly taken for granted what our culture has to offer. Certain individuals spend too much time pretending to be something they are not and too often forget to embrace the fact they are special in their own way. Others constantly judge people because of where they come from. Many think they are better than others and discriminate upon them heavily. Society has played a huge impact on the acceptance of cultural diversity over time and influenced negative beliefs to many in order to portray the view of a perfect individual.…

Ethnicity plays a long part in the worlds history and contentiously has negative effects our society. Everyone in their culture group has some kind of viewpoint on a different culture group from theirs. Which could cause some problems for both sides getting the wrong idea on how one ethnic group acts different than the other ethnic group. The way most people see how a few, or a couple of people from the a different culture act, say in a negative way, then they my start to think that is how that ethnic group act as a whole. Though that may not be the case.…
My Own Cultural Clash All parents have high hopes for their children, they want them to become a: lawyer, doctor, engineer, or something along those lines, most adults just want their children to be successful. My career was practically chosen for me as early as the 3rd grade. I stood above everyone in the crowd, literally, I was 5’4”. I’m tall and black, so everyone had assumed I was either heavily into some kind of popular sport, but stereotypically the question I was most frequently asked is “Do you play basketball?”. What made it even worse is that my mom expected to me play basketball, in fact that’s what she would tell my whole family.…
Language and terminology develop over time in academia resulting in some words being left behind and forgotten. In anthropology, some would argue that the concept of culture has similarly run its course in the field, but they would be wrong. A weak concept of culture enables anthropologists to describe human action in ways that cannot otherwise be accounted for. Using the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) as a sample setting, it is clear to see how the weak culture concept rationalizes behaviour in ways a strong concept does not. Contrary to some opponents to culture, it expands on ideas within a society that other ideas do not.…
Culture is not defined by any one thing. It’s not a set definition and at face value it’s how the individual defines it. Culture is an intrinsic and complex umbrella term to describe habits, traits,language, food,nationality,race, and ethnicity. Culture is what holds us together and divides us from each other.…
For my ethnographic research paper I examined the culture of my roommate who is from and grew up in California. The United States is a country that is just one large melting pot for different cultures and ethnicities. It is a relatively young country compared to Europe and Asian countries but the US pulls from such a wide range of countries which brings different cultures to one large nation. I looked at what culture is like in California. With the east coast facing Europe and the west coast facing Asia it makes for subcultures to pop up around the United States.…
Cross-cultural interaction had extreme impacts on the future use of travel networks of the world, as well as future global interactions and popular culture. The greatest causes of cross-cultural interaction from 1000 to 1500 CE were religious and diplomatic pursuits, the emergence of growing commercial centers, and nomadic invasions. The impacts of the interactions included events with the environment including the Bubonic plague, which caused a lesser population, the moving of humans in search of opportunity, and the spread of crops. Economic and social impacts included the Renaissance, conscripted labor, and centralized structure in the Ming dynasty.…
Culture can mean many different things to many different people. Some people may have traditions, different recipes, or religions that they identify with. Others may categorize themselves based on where they grew up or where their ancestors are from. My family is christian and my ancestors are from Germany. However, I do not identify my culture in this way because I do not practice religion or the German culture.…
When working in the healthcare sector and dealing with patients, it is essential to understand the concept of cultural safety. Cultural safety was first introduced to primarily improve the health of Maori in Aotearoa and to ensure healthcare providers upheld the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi. Over time the meaning of cultural safety has developed to include the beliefs and various other aspects that make up a person. Bryson discusses three main concepts that are essential to understand in order to become a culturally competent healthcare worker.…
Cultural relativism may be defined as a theory that advocates the idea of subjective morality. To extrapolate, this theory entails that “different cultures have differing moral codes” and these variances are merely arbitrary. Although this is a seemingly sufficient theory, there are key issues with this school of thought. James Rachels suggests several issues with accepting cultural relativism. He criticizes cultural relativism by stating that the theory is absurd as it entails severe consequences if practiced.…
I believe that I am in the integrative awareness stage of my own cultural identity. I understand that I have my own racial/cultural identity and have developed that both by genes as well as how I was raised in my family. I know that my environment has and will continue to influence my feelings and thoughts regarding race and culture. I know that I have had to fight against some of the things that my older family members may say about different races and cultures just due to their generational differences and lack of understanding. Although when I do stop someone from saying racist things and try to get them to change their thought process.…
