In the classes I Learned a little bit about Culture. Culture is something that is around us. All of the cultures has differents traditions, things that they do , laws and more. If you travel for another country everything will be different than your own country, so culture is learned all the time and it is not inherited. Also I learned about differents terms of culture as Culture Shock. About the culture shock is probably something that all of us realized when we moved to another country as Chicago.
Culture shock it means differences between countries,
and one example about it is the plastic bags, it commom here to pay for
per bags when you buy something at the supermarket, it is totally
different in my own country ,actually you can get many plastic bags for
free. Another term about the culture that I learned is Ethnocentrism ,
it is a feeling that lead us to think that our culture is superior than
others, something commom today, because sometimes their culture might
be stranger or maybe very different for you. Also, many cultures are
passed from one generation to another one, because they want to have the
same rules , habits . We also learned about the Iceberg culture, there
is 3 types of culture, as formal,informal and technical , and each type
has a different rule
The formal rule it likes you know the rules, but you do not know the reason. The informal, you do not know the rules and the reason , you do not know why they do it. And the last one is technical, it is like the formal , you know the rules but no the reason.
Well there are many things here in Chicago that is different in my own country , so I have to learn and adapt the American Culture. Understand the rules and the reason.
