Cross Culture The Lewis Model, By Richard D. Lewis

In Communications Between Cultures individualism and collectivism are described by researchers as “self-orientation versus collective orientation as one of the basic pattern variables that determine human action.” These differences can be found in family life, school, and workplace

6. Identify the two most important items that you learned about yourself and your health?

Immediately, I continued to the next part of the Self-assessment section, values. The three options I most valued were altruism/helping society, creativity, and helping others. These values emphasize results I have found in previous sections. I truly value being someone who helps others and

When C.S. Lewis wrote "That Hideous Strength", the characters Mark and Jane show their differences when it came to values and morals. Even though culture can be educational, in today's society it has effects when it comes to the learned behaviors. I will show comparisons and contrast when it comes to my culture and the culture that is portrayed in the book. Cultural behaviors shape who we are and what we stand for. In the text I gathered Jane to be restricted and resentful while Mark on the other hand has many friends, but always seems to fall short when communicating with other fellows at Bracton College.

In reviewing your personal and professional values, what surprised you, and what helped you affirm your beliefs?

An attitude are the long lasting beliefs, feelings, and behavioral responses towards social objects such as other people or issues (Attitudes and Behavior, n.d.). Attitudes can either be positive or negative.

The CLAS standards are essential to ensure the competence of others well-being. It is important that healthcare providers are aware of the 14 standards because not only does it improve quality in transcultural health, it gives the healthcare provider a chance to appropriately connect with their patients. The CLAS standards is connected to cultural competence because they both are making sure that the healthcare provider meets the needs of their patients. The Provider should be able to make an appropriate decision by communicating with their patient no matter their race, beliefs, tradition and the language they speak. It is fact that when you practice and become aware of culture values it allows patient satisfaction. If the provider is not culturally

When I first learned my culture I was afraid that I would not be able to remember the guidelines and make mistakes. As I took notes on my new culture I realized that with practice it was easy to adapt to with the entire class learning it together and having instructions. When first going into the other culture(Alpha) I thought it would be easy, figuring they spoke English and spoke of men so highly. While I easily understood the main principles I lost focus on the small foundations of their culture and lost the value of what they believe in. When going into their culture another time the realization hit me that our communication was diverse in all matters. Communicating with the Alpha culture was difficult and I had to realize that what I thought was acceptable to talk about, was instead extremely rude. Such as talking about women was rude when speaking of men was important. Communicating with my own culture was easy and I did not offend them because I was “raised” on the values of the

Describe two things you learned about yourself (personal values, beliefs, behaviors, or norms), in light of your Lewis cultural category survey results (linear-active, multi-active, or reactive).

Complete my.blog 3.1 (45), my.blog 3.2 (36), my.blog 3.3 (53). What did you discover about your value orientation that you did not know before?

Culture, we all have grown up knowing one, or at times more than one, kind of culture. Everyone has different beliefs and ways of doing things and this usually has to do with our culture and the way we have been raised and brought up. This type of psychology looks into these many different cultures and studies how they affect us as humans and our development, mental processes, and behavior.

Cross cultural psychology and cultural psychology are two fields of psychology that are often confused. Cross-cultural psychology and cultural psychology have many similarities and they differ in a few areas. Cross-cultural psychology is a comparative field of psychology that studies the cultural effects on human psychology. A cross-cultural study draws its conclusions from at least two samples of at least two different cultures and compares them in order to examine underlying reasons for diversity between the cultures, as well as the universals that each culture shares with another. Cultural psychology seeks to find the meaningful links between a culture and the psychology of the individuals living within that culture. Cultural psychology's main message is that human behavior is only meaningful when you're studying the behavior of individuals within the particular sociocultural, or in the culture in which the behavior occurs. The comparisons that cross-cultural psychology makes about each culture must begin with cultural studies.

The general study of humans and their ways of life is called Anthropology. Anthropology have four classic subdivisions: Cultural (or socio-cultural) Anthropology, Archaeology, Linguistics Anthropology and Biological (or physical) Anthropology. He or she who typically had some training in each of these four classic subdivisions in fact, have connected them to one another within a large field anthropology study. Moreover, he or she can use the theoretical knowledge and findings of anthropology to solve real-world problems surrounding human beings or human customs. Anthropologist has an idea that the beliefs and practices of a culture should be understood within the context that particular culture’s background, history and current events surrounding it called Cultural relativism. The main objective of this final research paper is examining my own culture from etic (i.e. outsider’s) perspective and another culture from emic (i.e. insider’s) perspective to clearly show my personal understanding of cultural relativism. Specifically, I will examine the rites of passage in African American girls/women lived reality and effects of the intersectional race, class and gender oppression in America coupled with discussing Japanese different rituals comparison to American outlook into death and the afterlife. All in all, rites of passage are done differently and makes a difference in its own society.

There is a lot of stuff in life that helps shape you into the person you become. This could be the area you grew up in, the schools you went to, the family that raised you, or the activities you participated in. While external influences are not everything, you can grow up in a bad situation to be a good person and vice versa, it would be naive to say they do not play a role. The people I am going to choose as cultural influences for me are my grandfather, my stepfather and my mother. There are much more, but these are three people who played a large role in my development.

Culture and ideologies shape relationships, in which both define to whom one associates with. The question arises about which has more influence in international relations. Is it cultural factors such as customs, language or societal norms or political polices and philosophy. In 1996 Samuel P.Huntington published “The Clash of Civilizations” which the author gave a geo political theory that cultural differences between civilizations rather than ideological differences would be the primary source of global conflict in the post-cold war. This essay will focuses on the argument in Huntington’s book about how it presents the world, the problem and the proposal for a solution.
