Observation Of John To Little Italy

266 Words2 Pages

For my culture’s observation I took John to Little Italy, which I thought was the most Italian area I would think of. I enjoyed the fact that John was relying on me to know where to go and what to do. We walked around Little Italy for a while and I pointed out the Italian people from the tourist, because like the museum Little Italy was filled with people of all different ethnic backgrounds. What I liked most about being observed was the interest that John took in learning about my culture. I also liked the fact that I was the one holding the knowledge and it was my job to teach John what I knew. At first being observed was a little weird, because the person is relying on you, but that soon passed because things with John aren’t awkward at all. …show more content…

I believe the part that really showed John the Italian culture was the visual affect of Italian’s pride. He was very curious about the Italian flag colors being painted almost everywhere in Little Italy. As an Italian pride in our culture is a very important thing and I liked how John was so interested in it. Being a “research subject” was a very fulfilling experience. I think it helped me appreciate my culture much more. Taking someone from another culture to view your culture makes you realize that certain aspects of your culture are so different and people of other cultures enjoy it. I hope that John felt the same way after I viewed his

Fat acceptance: A basic primer Critique essay Cynara Geissler’s article “Fat Acceptance: A Basic Primer” was first published in Geez Magazine in 2013. Geissler addresses a lot of issues about fat acceptance and how it is affecting our society and people’s attitudes towards over-weight people. One of the reasons why Geissler thinks that is because many health industries now days have a slogan “Thinner is better” and that makes over-weight people seem lazy or just not willing to put the effort to become better. Most importantly Geissler mentions that health industries and causing people to make a negative attitude towards overweight people which can be seen.

Gauman Poma, speech provides a long analogy to her point that perspective can change our understanding of culture. Gauman Poma wrote a letter as an Andean citizen to his Spanish King.

I thought it was interesting how far the diseases had spread and how greatly it impacted the native Americans as a society. It was interesting how the diseases spread farther then the Europeans had even gone, through being spread from native to native. Personally, the illustrations used in the video to demonstrate the spread of the diseases was quite informative and entertaining, and helped clearly show how they spread. I also thought it was fascinating that when they landed at Plymouth, they used the ghost towns left by civilizations who had died out from the diseases; and that many civilizations that shared the same fate were lost to

Without the knowledge of what culture is and does, we as a society would be lost. In the essay, “An Indian Father’s Plea” by Robert Lake, the author takes to explain to his audience that your culture can greatly impact your perspective of others. For example, when the teacher Wind-Wolf a slow learner, the father writes a letter explaining why wind-wolf is not, but in fact the opposite. The author said “If you ask him how many months there are in a year he will probably tell you 13. He will respond this way not because he does not know how to count, but because he was taught by our traditional people.”

As you can tell from the videos, without knowing anything at the beginning, it is impossible to understand what other cultures are, but I also felt that it is also impractical to overcome all of these 6 stumbling blocks of intercultural communication. For example, if you don’t assume something, you become anxious and that navigates us to another issue that she mentioned, which was stress. The misinterpretations of nonverbal communication are something that is linked with assumption. All of these issues are big issues that prevent us from communicating fully. However I believe there is something more important to us, for example like how fully interested we are in cultures, how optimistic we are to this subject, how much we realize that there are ubiquitous cultural conflicts to cultures in the world.
