1 - Describe any cultural incident in which you have been involved, either at home with foreigners or abroad. What was the cause, a misunderstanding of deep or surface culture? Yours or theirs? Was ethnocentrism on your part or theirs the cause? Was a solution reached? What was the lesson that was learned?
2 - What can you do to prepare for the culture you´re going to teach in before you leave your home country? Consider ideas such as language, food, cultural habits, and history.3 - Research aspects of ethnocentrism. How does this relate to the question of dealing with cross-cultural problems? How does this relate to knowing who we are in a world of many uncertainties and complexities. |
