1. INTRODUCTION TO CULTURE

1. WHAT IS CULTURE?
Culture: Quite broad: not all culture is purely definitive. Can be generalized. The lines between cultures quite gray.

Cont.

Every culture may have its own culture. Culture: a set of practices followed by a group of people

Things to Keep in Mind

When someone is culturally different, they are not bad just because they are different. People are not automatically the same and cannot be lumped together. You cannot judge an individual based on the bad you hear about their religion/nationality in the media. While levels of education may vary within different cultures, natural levels of intelligence do not.

2. COMMON ASPECTS OF CULTURE

Race

The color of ones skin. In many parts of the world, one race dominates the population.

Society has a tendency to judge people based on their race.

Religion

Ones spiritual beliefs and practices. Can be a major cause of friction in the relationships between different people. Proper tolerance to get along with others.

Social Class

All throughout the world, wealth levels of people vary. Tendency for people of differing social classes to remain separate from one another and not interact. A person with less money is not a bad person just because they have less.

Language

The world is filled with thousand of languages. When two people have intersecting paths, but do not speak a common language, this can be extremely frustrating.

Language barriers is not anyones fault.

3. CULTURAL TOLERANCE AND EXAMPLES

What is Cultural Tolerance ?

A disposition to allow freedom of choice and behavior, no matter what the color or creed of other people is. Cultural & religious diversity has for a long time been a matter of lived reality in many societies and their educational systems.

Examples of Cultural Tolerance

Our nation as a whole is majority Muslim in our beliefs, but we also allow citizens to practice other religions such as Christian, Buddhism, etc. so we have a cultural tolerance for different religious beliefs.

Suggestions:

Cultural tolerance: The field of education is crucial if future generations are to develop strategies for living together in a context of religious and cultural diversity, where attitudes of tolerance, respect, openness, and readiness to learn from difference are honored.

4. CULTURAL DIALOGUE AND EXAMPLES

What is dialogue ?

Based on the language, di means two or more people (through or across)

Dialogue means that conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or movie

What is cultural dialogue ?

A process that involves open interactions between individuals from different cultural backgrounds, with the objective of understanding each others worldview. A process that involves open interactions between individuals from different cultural backgrounds, with the objective of understanding each others worldview

Intercultural Dialogue
Gives people a chance to understand the origin of their differences, but also appreciate the similarities they share. An important step in overcoming the boundaries that separate people and groups. Dialogue: only one element of a puzzle: One needs to go beyond dialogue and take concrete actions that reflect understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity.

Example of Cultural dialogue

When someone communicate with another people with different background of culture. Those people have to know the way of another culture communicate even language, behavior, ethics, etc.

Cultural Tolerance and Dialogue

To go beyond a mere tolerance of the other and

can involve creative abilities that convert

challenges and insights into innovation processes and into new forms of expression.

Shared space: processes take place can be

located outside of physical spaces, situated in the media or in a virtual environment.

Another example of cultural tolerance and dialogue

Since every conversation is a cross-cultural dialogue: find ways to talk across differences in ways that promote understanding as opposed to deeper layers of confusion. intended to slow down the flurry of assumptions that occur when talking about the stories and truths that shape our lives. The goal of todays learning community is to ensure that everyone can engage with and grow from our interactions.

5. CONSIDERATION POINT OF CULTURAL TOLERANCE

There are 3 elements of tolerance:

Permitting or Allowing
Rejecting the Others Perception The Process of Respecting Others

Permitting or Allowing

According to Webster's

New World Dictionary, Second College Edition, the word tolerate means to
allow or to permit, to recognize and respect others' beliefs and practices without sharing them, to bear or put up with someone or something not necessarily liked.

Rejecting the Other Perception

The view that no person's ideas are any better or truer than another's is irrational and absurd. To argue that some views are false, immoral, or just plain silly does not violate any meaningful standard of tolerance

The Process of Respecting Others

Tolerance of persons, what might be called "civility," can be equated with the word "respect. This is the classical definition of tolerance: the freedom to express one's ideas without fear of reprisal. We may strongly disagree with their ideas and against them in the public square, but we still show respect for the persons in spite of the differences.

6. WHY INTERCULTURAL DIALOGUE MUST NOT BE UNDERESTIMATED ?

Intercultural dialogue contributes to political, social, cultural, economic integration and the cohesion of culturally diverse societies.

Intercultural Manner and Purpose

It aims to develop a deeper understanding of

diverse worldviews and practices, to increase

cooperation and participation (or the freedom to make choices), and to promote tolerance and respect for the other.
