Cultural Identify-Wrap up

This unit, I had learned about different country’s life style of culture. I had understand culture mean is not a really bid and different thing. It is just every other countries people are doing same thing in the different ways or their traditional ways. We called this CULTURE. Also, one of the important things I had learned is respect others’ culture and explain more each other. If we don’t, we never understand and communicate. After that, we would express our emotion correctly.

Hi everyone?
I am from Mongolia. My country boarded between Russian and China. I just want to say my country is totally independent country because a lot of people thought Mongolia is one of the Chinese's country. Actually it is NOT. We have 4 different seasons which is the fall, winter, spring and summer. Traditional food called "Buuz and Khuushuur" which is Dumplings and fried meat dumplings.

We are living in a changing world and these changes have led to adopt different cultures in order to adapt our lives to the environment.
We are immersed in a salad bowl where different cultures are mixing every day, but the most important is despite we are living in another country we have to maintain our values and traditions, and if is necessary we can share our traditions with another cultures.
I understood  why people always wants to be with similar people but it’s a mistake because we don’t see opportunities we could lose in our lives because sometimes we don’t share with another cultures and we are immersed in a connected world.

Cultural Identity Wrap-up

Before I learn this unit on Cultural Identity, I have seen many culture fusion cases. However, I didn’t know that is the culture fusion. After this class, I have found out that our world become more and more alike. Such as counters, food and movies. Nowadays, we are knowing more things from other countries.  Also, we are combining our own culture and others’ culture together. For example, movies, songs, believes. In fact, some of the good hobbies and customs will fuse in our culture. By the way, cultural can not fuse if it without understanding. Understanding others and express ourselves it is a way to keep the cultural diversity.

Before I started this class I thought America is a liberal and free country that is different from all over the world. But after reaching some experience and studying more about America with the discussions in this class, I find out that it is not true. People in America are freely choosing from the list of the federal and state government that provide for them. Choosing something not in the list is considered criminal. That’s not freedom of choice, that’s state control of people`s lives.

And also in America still is discrimination between different races that doesn’t look like that. A small amount of people are rich and rest of them are poor and day by day are getting more and more poor. So unfortunately there is no utopia all over the world. 

Cultural Identity Wrap-up

     After this Culture Identity Unit, I have learned a lot about other culture that I have never known. I learned that people would like to live with others whom are basically like themselves. Religion, lifestyle, education, economy. People thing that it is more comfortable to live with them and it is more easier. But why people live others whom are not like them in other to learn new things and new culture just like our class, people are from different countries and have different culture. We are all interested in different culture.

Cultural Identity Wrap-up

     In the unit of Cultural Identity I had learned many things that had changed the way I understan another cultures. after reading the chapters I had learned that we don't have make distinctions in between cultures, instead of that we have to share ideas and became with new ways of living in peace and harmony. Also I had learned that we don't have to  put stereotypes on people by the way they look because nobody has to be punished just because some people  of their countries had done bad things. everybody has a value and we have to respect that if we want to be respect for somebody else. Another thing that I had achieved in this unit is that the more we interact with people from around the world the more we are enriching our knowledge.
