1. Give an example of a current event or a moment in history that triggered a shift in culture. What was it about that moment or event that gave it the power to change the culture? Apply the socio-cultural learning model to analyze the situation, and discuss any particular individuals who influenced the culture toward change. How did the change unfold? 2. Reflect on an experience when you interacted with someone from another nation, ethnicity, religious affiliation, or political affiliation and you detected deep, underlying assumptions that were different from your own. Describe that interaction. Through what clues did the individual's deep, underlying assumptions become apparent to you? How did you react? In retrospect, what does that experience reveal to you about your own deeply held assumptions? 3. Give an example of a founder who has had a major impact on the culture of the organization that he or she founded. This example may be the founder of your current or past organization, or it may be a famous individual who founded an organization. Discuss the values and behaviors of the founder. How have those values and behaviors become embedded within the organization culture? Is the founder currently involved with the organization, or when was the founder last involved? Who was the founder's successor for leading the organization, and why do you think that individual was selected? If the founder is still involved with the organization, discuss whom you think might be a possible successor and why that individual may be considered. These are just Discussion Boards 250 words, no reference. .

Social innovation and the webs of culture - Frances Westley

Nesta

Frances Westley examines how culture can both enable and constrain social innovation. She discusses the work of Tostan, which facilitated dialogue to empower communities in Senegal and end female genital cutting. Westley also analyzes how religion can be a barrier or opportunity for change, using the example of funeral ritual changes in Java. Finally, she explores how creating cultures of resilience and using art can catalyze radical social transformation by empowering marginalized voices.

Yang Yu RE: Week 2 question COLLAPSE Top of Form National identity is a person's identity or sense of belonging to one state or to one nation (Ashmore et al., 2001), while the organizational identity is defined as a sets of defined as a set of statements that organization members perceive to be central, distinctive, and enduring to their organization. (Albert & Whetten, 1985) When we enter into an organization, we will encounter the culture in an organization which affected by a great mixture of individuals personalities and behaviors which are governed by codes of conduct, moral values, faith, ethnicity, etc. Inevitably, our own cultures, shaped by the behaviors, faith, values and cultures of our own nations, will have glitches with the diverse cultures within the organization. Meanwhile, as a member of the organization, our cultures will be molded and influenced by the daily contact with its members and the organization as a whole. Our subculture will derive from the diversity of the members of organization and Before I studied in an American university, I was born and grown up in a culture which champion the collectivism. Compared with its counterparts, American university embraces individualism and gives more attention to minorities. For instance, educational resources and opportunities are more equitably distributed, and all students, including minorities and students with disabilities. As a foreign student, I could utilize various academic support resources to facilitate my study and I can feel the respect to my individual preference in the class and daily life. In China, we got used to adapting to the value and rules of the whole group, and we are seldom concerned about the individual value or habit. Individuals tend to find common values and goals as particularly salient �Schwartz, 1990). Under this ongoing impact on my value and behaviors, I empathize with those who holds different opinions and am more willing to take care of those minor groups. Bottom of Form Zihan Ren RE: Week 2 question COLLAPSE Top of Form A research from the discursive tradition define organizational identity as ‘an ongoing conversation or dance between [internal] organizational culture and [external] organizational images’ and present a model of it based on four interrelated processes (mirroring, reflecting, expressing, impressing). (Hatch and Schultz 2002, p. 991). National identity is a person's identity or sense of belonging to one state or to one nation. (Ashmore, Jussim and Wilder, 2001). It is represented by a distinct tradition, culture and language. Compared to national identity organizational identity is more unstable and changeable. Conversely, national identity is more enduring as is it obtained through a person’s education and influence from childhood. For example, I used to have a colleague who had been doing clerical work in a company dealing with paperworks. But for some reason, he switched to a sales job. He was not very talktive before he ...

1) Examine the difference between material and nonmaterial culture i.docx

karisariddell

1) Examine the difference between material and nonmaterial culture in your world. Identify ten objects that are part of your regular cultural experience. For each, then identify what aspects of nonmaterial culture (values and beliefs) that these objects represent. What has this exercise revealed to you about your culture? 2) Do you feel that feelings of ethnocentricity or xenocentricity are more prevalent in U.S. culture? Why do you believe this? What issues or events might inform this? 3) What do you think of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis? Do you agree or disagree with it? Cite examples or research to support your point of view. 4) How do you think your culture would exist if there were no such thing as a social “norm”? Do you think chaos would ensue or relative peace could be kept? Explain. 5) Identify several examples of popular culture and describe how they inform larger culture. How prevalent is the effect of these examples in your everyday life? 6) Consider some of the specific issues or concerns of your generation. Are any ideas countercultural? What subcultures have emerged from your generation? How have the issues of your generation expressed themselves culturally? How has your generation made its mark on society’s collective culture? 7) What are some examples of cultural lag that are present in your life? Do you think technology affects culture positively or negatively? Explain. 8) Consider a current social trend that you have witnessed, perhaps situated around family, education, transportation, or finances. For example, many veterans of the Armed Forces, after completing tours of duty in the Middle East, are returning to college rather than entering jobs as veterans as previous generations did. Choose a sociological approach—functionalism, conflict theory, or symbolic interactionism—to describe, explain, and analyze the social issue you choose. Afterward, determine why you chose the approach you did. Does it suit your own way of thinking? Or did it offer the best method to illuminate the social issue? answer these questions ???? .

Shelly Harrell

(1) The document discusses incorporating contextual, sociopolitical, and culture-based cues into mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies. It proposes a framework called "psychoecocultural flexibility" which emphasizes understanding the person in the context of their environment and culture. (2) The framework focuses on the ongoing transactions between a person's psychological processes, their socioecological environment, and their sociocultural patterns. It also outlines six processes for applying this framework, such as "Staying Woke" to contact the present moment with full awareness of one's experience in context. (3) The document argues that acceptance-based therapies need to engage more directly with issues like social injustice, oppression, and

This document discusses the relationship between freedom, morality, and culture. It first establishes that freedom forms the basis of moral acts according to Kant, with good acts increasing freedom and bad acts reducing it. It then explores the concepts of freedom and free will. While freedom allows acting without restraint, rules are still needed to exercise freedom safely. The document also distinguishes between human acts which are intentional and subject to morality, and involuntary acts. Finally, it examines how culture influences moral development, noting cultures shape beliefs and behaviors. It advocates understanding different cultures on their own terms using cultural relativism rather than judging them based on one's own standards.

Culture and Cultural Changes.pptx

RhitchAishaAsuncion

Culture can be defined in many ways but generally refers to the shared beliefs, values, customs, and artifacts of a group of people. Culture is learned and transmitted between generations through enculturation and influences how people think and behave. There are material and non-material aspects of culture, including tangible objects as well as intangible elements like values, beliefs, norms, language, and symbols. Culture is dynamic and evolves over time through cultural transmission and education, as well as contact between cultures through processes like acculturation and assimilation. Overall, culture plays an essential role in human societies by shaping our perceptions and providing structure, meaning, and a sense of identity.

Discussion 2 The Impact of DiversityUnderstanding the impac

huttenangela

Discussion 2: The Impact of Diversity Understanding the impact of diversity on an individual’s cognitive, physical, and social-emotional developmental processes requires an examination of a multitude of characteristics, including gender, race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, etc. In addition, behavior within a group is important to examine, along with the similarities and differences of behaviors and attitudes across groups. The goal of understanding the impact of diversity is not to determine whether one group is inferior to another, but to gain an appreciation of the breadth and depth of variability in human behavior. Cross-cultural investigation allows for the testing of theoretical concepts and predictions to evaluate their generalizability (Jensen, 2012). Another outcome of studying the results of cross-cultural research is that, as a psychology professional, you will be better equipped to empathize with and advocate for those you will be serving. For this Discussion, you will explore how diversity shapes and influences cognitive and social-emotional developmental processes. To prepare for this Discussion: Review and consider the same fictional human character from your Discussion 1 for this week. Also, consider only the cognitive and social-emotional developmental processes and how diversity * shapes and influences these processes. *Diversity includes but is not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, culture, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, etc. It is not the same as adversity , which refers to a difficulty or tragedy in one’s life. Think about the kinds of attitudes and behaviors that might be generated from someone who grew up in a collectivist society, which is common in Asian cultures, compared to the attitudes of someone who grew up in an individualistic society, such as that found in the United States. By Day 4 Post a 1- to 2-sentence description of the fictional human character (i.e., cartoon character, film/TV character, virtual character) you selected. Then, explain how diversity might shape and influence his/her cognitive and social-emotional developmental processes. Be specific in your post and provide examples. Use your Learning Resources and/or other scholarly sources to support your post. Use proper APA format and citations to support your post. ...

Shaping Interpretations of Reality

University of Calgary, School of Creative and Performing Arts

The document discusses several cultural value dimensions that shape perceptions of reality. It defines perception and how culture influences it. Beliefs form the basis of values, which then inform attitudes and behaviors. The dominant U.S. cultural patterns discussed are individualism, equal opportunity, science/technology, work/play identity, and competitive nature. Hofstede's cultural value dimensions of individualism/collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, and masculinity/femininity are also summarized. Finally, the concepts of high-context vs low-context communication and the importance of "face" in collectivist cultures are briefly covered.

The Changing Cultural Landscape

Savi Singh

Adjusting to a new culture presents many challenges. Culture is shaped by both macro influences common to large groups as well as micro influences from smaller groups. When migrating to a new place, one must find a balance between holding onto their original culture while adapting to the new cultural environment. This can be difficult and cause identity transformations, value conflicts, and frustration as old norms no longer apply. Critical thinking and communicating with others from one's original culture can help in understanding and adjusting to the new cultural reality over time, despite inner conflicts that will be regularly faced. Ultimately, cultural experiences shape who we are and will continue to do so as we learn to embrace both similarities and differences between cultures.

Chapter 5 PowerPoint

pourettejones

This chapter discusses how culture shapes perceptions of reality through values and beliefs. It defines perception as how people make sense of their world, which is influenced by the symbols and ideas learned from their culture. Cultural values then arise from shared beliefs about what is considered true, right, or good. The chapter outlines several theories about cultural value dimensions, such as individualism versus collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, and concepts of time and human nature. It also discusses how communication styles can vary between high- and low-context cultures.

Discussion 1 Cultural Influences of Social PolicyCultures, .docx

charlieppalmer35273

Discussion 1: Cultural Influences of Social Policy Cultures, regardless of where they are or how long ago they existed, share a few common characteristics. Among these characteristics is a structure to care for their children and to socialize them in the culture. Children are taught, both directly and indirectly, the values of the culture, their role in the culture, and the expectations the culture has for them. Children absorb the rules, dynamics, and values, which they will later pass these on to subsequent generations. As a social worker, you will deal with families from different cultural backgrounds. Understanding the cultural background of the families you work with will help you to effectively intervene and advocate for policies that support their needs. How prepared are you to identify and advocate for social policies that are just and support families from all cultures? For this Discussion , review this week’s resources, including the Hernandez Family’s case. Consider how cultural considerations might affect child welfare policy. Then, think about what your responsibilities, as a social worker, might be in supporting the Hernandez family in addressing their child welfare needs through the accessibility of services.

Discussion 1 Emotional ExpressionEach culture has its own norms.docx

elinoraudley582231

Discussion 1: Emotional Expression Each culture has its own norms, attitudes, and beliefs that can impact how emotions are displayed. While researchers have discovered universality of emotions and facial expressions among cultures, the display and intensity of these emotions, facial expressions, and attributions differ across cultures. For example, in the Amish culture, members do not readily weep in the event of death because of the way they view death in the life cycle. Consider how the display of emotions is expressed in various cultures and how it may impact various aspects of their lives. For this Discussion, use your Final Project culture of interest and select another culture of interest to you. Think about the emotional expressions that you might observe in the two cultures during rites of passage, such as births, wedding ceremonies, and funerals. In addition, consider the similarities and differences of the expressions of the emotions that you might observe. With these thoughts in mind: a brief description of the two cultures you selected. Then describe how each culture typically expresses two emotions (e.g., happiness, sadness, fear, and anger). Finally explain how these cultures influence the expression of these emotions. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature. Reference: Matsumoto, D. (2001). Culture and emotion. In D. Matsumoto (Ed.), The handbook of culture and psychology (pp. 171–194). New York, NY: Oxford University Press. 2. Perception of Time The perception of time varies among cultures. Some cultures operate on actual clock time while others are event-centered. Event-centered time is less structured than clock time and focuses only on current events and circumstances. For example, in Africa, time is flexible, and it is based on events in the past, present, and the future. Time is perceived through the life of the individual and the tribe. (Shiraev & Levy, 2010) How might your culture’s perception of time impact your life? The cultural influence on time is not limited to differences in minutes and seconds. This perception might also affect behavior and attitudes if a culture is short-, middle-, or long-time oriented. Studies suggest there is a correlation between time and lifestyle, such as the pace of life, health, and happiness. Consider the importance of the scholar-practitioner understanding a client or research populations’ perception of time to in terms of appointments, business organization, and risky health behaviors. For this Discussion, consider your own ideas about time and how culture might influence the perception of time. Use your Final Project culture of interest and select another culture with a differing time orientation. An explanation of how culture might influence the perception of time. Provide an example from two cultures and explain how each culture differs in its members’ perception of time. Support your responses with references to the Learning Resources. .

Cultural sensitivity awareness

Ahmed Faied, CMA

Cultural sensitivity and awareness involve understanding cultural differences without making judgments of one culture being better than another. Developing cultural awareness requires becoming aware of one's own biases while valuing diversity, building respectful friendships to foster understanding, acquiring knowledge through classes and experiences with other cultures, and recognizing differences within cultures rather than assuming all members of a group are the same.
