Cultural Diversity project

I learnt alot in the process of making the video about my culture while visiting the culture village and seeing how our grandparents lived it was amazing yet hard because there was no electricity, no cars it was a tough life yet they made it through . I honestly don't think i can last 1 week living their life !
And i learnt alot about other cultures by making interviews with people from all over the world who came to visit the UAE learn about it's culture . People where amazed by the UAE culture just like i was when they  told me about things unique in their culture . Overall it was an amazing experience that made me realize that there is alot about our past than what we know and i hope to experience something similar in the next years and i'm sure this is an experience i would gladly repeat ten times if necessary .

Culture and Personality in Anthropology

Read the section about Culture and Personality in Anthropology. Answer these questions about that section:-

1.       Define “Anthropology” in your own words:  The studies of culture and human history .

2.       Define “movement” in this context: The migration of people.

3.       What do you understand by “socialization of children” Give an example:  This is where your culture tells you how you raise your children.

4.       Read this sentence again and give examples of childrearing in different societies and cultures: “socialization creates personality patterns. It helps shape people’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, cultural values and norms to fit into and function as productive members in the surrounding human society. The study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.”

- We teach the child how to respect old people.

- We teach our children hospitality.

- We teach them the importance of pride and honor.

Consider “bed time” in different cultures; Some Emirati families do not have a set bed time for the children.  In most Western cultures, children often do have a specific bed time.

5.       Read this sentence again and say to what extent you agree: “all humans are the same when born, but childrearing in different societies causes deviations in behavior and personalities from each other.”

 I I agree fully with this, all children are born the same and it’s up to the parent and society to change them and may also affect the power of the person and the culture of personal.
