The document discusses cultural pluralism as a challenge for universities in Nigeria to foster dialogue and understanding. It notes that Nigeria has over 400 ethnic groups and two major religions, creating cultural complexity that is sometimes exploited and causes social conflicts. These conflicts negatively impact the university system by intensifying competition between ethnic groups for control over university resources and management. However, the Nigerian constitution and policies aim to promote equity and national unity in higher education through principles like federal character. The document argues that Nigerian universities still manage to contribute to dialogue despite challenges, through policies governing admission diversity and equitable resource allocation.

1. Why Study Inequality?
Feedback from past students doing this course indicates that they learned a great deal about the impact of ‘development’ on people’s lives and that they gained deeper insights into some current global issues. Not surprisingly, however, they also found that studying inequality can also be somewhat depressing. Why, then, do we persist in teaching this topic? Taylor (1992:20) has conveniently provided me with two very good reasons:
1 He argues that ‘...global inequalities are going to become the most important political issue in the world in the wake of the demise of the Cold War’.
2 Taylor goes on to say that ‘...understanding global inequalities is a key stage in the process of overcoming them’.
Taylor’s first point has proved prescient. From the revelations of the Global Financial Crisis and the Occupy movement to the release of documentaries such as Inequality forAll(Kornbluth,2013), and the publication of top-selling books on inequality includingWilkinson and Pickett’s (2010) The Spirit Leveland Piketty’s (2014) Capital in theTwenty-first Century, discussionsof inequality have become highly prominent in globalpolitics. New Zealand has not been exempt from this, with the publication of the book Inequality: A New Zealand Crisis(Rashbrooke,2013) and a steady stream of comm ...
chapter 2 Globalization and Cultural and Multicultural Literacies.pptxChristineMaeCalfofor
Is the process of interaction and integration between people, business entities, governments, and cultures from other nations, driven by international trade and investment and support by information technology (Levin Institute, 2017).
Globalization has led to increased economic, political, and cultural interdependence between nations. It has expanded the flow of people, ideas, and culture worldwide. In the Philippines, globalization has both positive and negative economic impacts, and has increased cultural exchange. However, it also poses challenges to developing cultural and multicultural literacy. Cultural literacy involves understanding the signs and symbols of a given culture, while multicultural literacy enables respectful communication between diverse cultures. Teaching these concepts in the Philippines faces difficulties in deciding which cultures to include and dealing with issues like conflicting identity groups and persistent discrimination.
This document discusses regional imbalances and inequalities in Nigeria. It identifies several key causes of the imbalances, including uneven distribution of natural resources across regions, different climates and physical conditions, and policies under British colonial rule that developed some regions more than others. The consequences of these imbalances include problems like urbanization, income inequality, poverty and food shortages. The document recommends remedies such as special government policies, rural development programs, and industrial development across Nigeria to reduce these regional disparities.
The document discusses 6 reasons for studying intercultural communication:
1. The self-awareness imperative - it increases awareness of one's own culture and reduces ethnocentrism.
2. The demographic imperative - the US population is becoming more diverse racially and ethnically.
3. The economic imperative - globalization means many products are made internationally so understanding different business cultures is important for economic success.
4. The technological imperative - technology increases contact with different cultures but also risks increasing divides between those who do and do not have access.
5. The peace imperative - understanding between cultures can help reduce conflict and tensions.
6. The ethical imperative - it is important to understand different cultural approaches
This document analyzes the issue of state creation in Nigeria and whether it has effectively resolved ethnic conflicts. It discusses how agitation for new states has occurred since the colonial period due to minority ethnic groups feeling marginalized. While many new states have been created since independence, the document aims to evaluate whether this has actually reduced conflicts or increased fractionalization of ethnic groups. The authors conducted a secondary source literature review and analysis to examine the mythology and reality of state creation in conflict resolution in Nigeria. They found that state creation has not resolved ethnic conflicts and has instead led to further division of ethnic groups. The government is suggested to promote true democracy and unity among Nigeria's diverse ethnicities.

This document provides an overview of imperialism in Ethiopia in the 20th century. It notes that Ethiopia resisted Italian colonization efforts, making it the only African country to avoid European colonization. However, imperialism still impacted Ethiopia through opening up more jobs, businesses, and education opportunities. It benefited the Western world economically but had negative effects in Africa. Imperialism helped develop infrastructure like roads but also caused the deaths of many great Ethiopian rulers and wars over border issues that helped shape modern-day Ethiopia. The country remains ethnically diverse with the largest groups being the Oromo and Amhara peoples.
Violent traditional gender practices and implications for nation building pro...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a research paper about violent traditional gender practices in Nigeria and their implications for nation building. Some key practices discussed include purdah (locking women in the home), almajiri (street begging by boys), poor girls' education, early/forced marriage, and pushing boys into business at a young age. The paper argues that these practices promote gender-based violence and negatively impact national development. It calls for increased education for both genders and government policies to promote gender re-orientation through community programs, laws, and discussions to achieve sustainable development.
Policy Debates and Indigenous Education: The Trialectic of Language, Culture,...Che-Wei Lee
In this chapter, we explore several policy debate topics associated with indigenous education with a focus on the issues of indigenous languages, cultures, and identity. Highly political by nature, the terms indigeneity and indigenous rights are central to most policy debates with direct implications on social justice issues, human rights, and education in general. Besides examining global indigenous declarations that directly influence indigenous education, we also examine policy debate issues within five country contexts—in China, Mexico, Taiwan, Uganda, and the United States. We use the term indigenous genocide to account for any former, current, or future government policy that intentionally causes the assimilation of indigenous peoples into the dominant national culture. Examples are given in the five case countries of how indigenous genocide can lead to the genocide of indigenous peoples’ languages, cultures, and/or identities. The chapter concludes by highlighting the central role indigenous education can play in being able to curb or reverse indigenous genocidal policies. Crucial to reversing anti-indigenous policies is the involvement and empowerment of indigenous peoples in every facet of the policy planning and implementation processes.
Nonverbal communication differences for CMST 101wright115617
This document discusses differences in nonverbal communication between cultures, genders, and ages. It begins with an introduction explaining how miscommunication can occur due to differences in nonverbal cues. It then outlines nine building blocks of nonverbal communication. The document is then divided into three sections discussing cultural differences, gender differences, and age differences. For cultural differences, it provides examples of differences between Eastern and Western cultures. For gender differences, it outlines ways men and women differ in their nonverbal communication styles. For age differences, it discusses how nonverbal skills develop in children and differences in how generations respond to marketing. The conclusion states that miscommunication can occur due to these factors and society can work to overcome barriers through understanding differences.

This document discusses cultural pluralism as a challenge for universities in Nigeria to foster dialogue and understanding. It notes that Nigeria has over 400 ethnic groups and two major religions, creating cultural complexity. This diversity has been politicized by elites and fueled conflicts over resources. The university system is intensely contested by ethnic groups seeking control and benefits. Appointing vice chancellors is especially controversial. However, the document argues that Nigerian universities still contribute to promoting dialogue despite these challenges, and that higher education has an important role to play in managing diversity through open communication across groups.

This document provides an abstract for a study that investigated the causes of conflicts between Hausa and Yoruba ethnic groups in Mile 12 Market in Lagos, Nigeria between 1999-2014, as well as the peacebuilding initiatives implemented following hostilities. The study found the major causes of conflicts included disputes over resources, incompatible value systems, poor communication, and impatience. Post-conflict initiatives to build peace included reorganizing the market, education and training programs, interfaith cooperation, security provisions, consociational leadership, and elections. However, ongoing challenges to peacebuilding were also identified, including sanitation issues, housing problems, commercialization of conflict resolution, and lack of social amenities.

This document provides an overview on gender and indigenous peoples. It discusses how indigenous women face multiple forms of discrimination and challenges to enjoying their human rights fully. They experience higher rates of poverty and violence. However, indigenous women have advocated for their rights at the local, national, and international levels, including being leaders in the negotiations of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Applying a gender perspective to issues facing indigenous peoples is important to understand their differentiated needs and experiences. It can help reduce disparities between indigenous men and women in areas like access to resources and participation in development initiatives.

This week I have chosen to discuss common heat sources identified by the NFPA in being common causes of ignition in home fires. The NFPA published the
Home Structure Fires
report in October of 2019 that outlines these fires and supports the conclusions with data from 2018. The following heat sources were listed as common denominators in home structure fires:
Cooking
Heating
Electrical distribution and lighting
Intentional
Smoking materials
Home fires are responsible for seventy-nine percent of fire fatalities and seventy-three percent of fire injuries (Ahrens, 2019). These ignition sources have proven to be the most prevalent forms of starting these types of fires. In addition, it was reported that most fire fatalities were males over the age of 55 (Ahrens, 2019). These fires are generally occurring in the colder months between November and March during the hours of 5 PM to 8 PM when, “… many people are coming home from work, are preparing dinner, or are engaging in other household activities” (Ahrens, 2019).
These ignition sources are common in many households. Cooking fires can vary greatly from stove tops, ovens, grease, toasters, empty coffee pots on heaters, tea pots, etc. Smoking materials, however, are isolated to pipes, cigarettes, and their associated equipment (lighters, matches, etc.). Heating sources, just like cooking fires, have several different ignition source types to include furnaces, stoves (pellet, gas, oil, etc.), chimney ignition, etc. Electrical distribution and lighting malfunctions or surges caused roughly 7 percent of home structure fires and accounted for ten percent of residential deaths (Ahrens, 2019). Lastly, intentionally set residential fires accounted huge amounts of property loss and resulted in 380 fatalities, sixty four percent were linked to suicide (Ahrens, 2019).
It is critical that during home fire safety visits and non-emergent medical calls that fire departments take the time to address these matters with their citizens. Most fire deaths occurred while victims were asleep, are physically disabled (mostly geriatric), or impaired by alcohol or drugs (Ahrens, 2019). These fires are preventable and should be addressed in the public setting when appropriate.

1. In some places, technology has reached the point where a trial could be conducted by a teleconference. The defendant could be left at the local jail and could watch the entire trial on a monitor. The state would not be forced to transport him back and forth every day and would save considerable money in transport and security costs. Is this a good idea? Is this idea Constitutional? Why or why not?
2. In civil trials, the witnesses are usually deposed before trial. Attorneys for both sides are present at the deposition and ask all the questions that they wish. Wouldn’t this be a good idea for criminal trials as well? Witnesses could simply testify through their written depositions or even by videotaped depositions and not be forced to appear at trial. Are there any problems with this scenario?
3. Defendants with the financial resources can hire private investigators and others to help investigate the jury and witnesses. Poorer defendants do not have that option. Does this contribute to lopsided justice where the rich get better justice than the poor?

Besides examining global indigenous declarations that directly influence indigenous education, we also examine policy debate issues within five country contexts—in China, Mexico, Taiwan, Uganda, and the United States. We use the term indigenous genocide to account for any former, current, or future government policy that intentionally causes the assimilation of indigenous peoples into the dominant national culture. Examples are given in the five case countries of how indigenous genocide can lead to the genocide of indigenous peoples’ languages, cultures, and/or identities. The chapter concludes by highlighting the central role indigenous education can play in being able to curb or reverse indigenous genocidal policies. Crucial to reversing anti-indigenous policies is the involvement and empowerment of indigenous peoples in every facet of the policy planning and implementation processes.

This document discusses cultural pluralism as a challenge for universities in Nigeria to foster dialogue and understanding. It notes that Nigeria has over 400 ethnic groups and two major religions, creating cultural complexity. This diversity has been politicized by elites and fueled conflicts over resources. The university system is intensely contested by ethnic groups seeking control and benefits. Appointing vice chancellors is especially controversial. However, the document argues that Nigerian universities still contribute to promoting dialogue despite these challenges, and that higher education has an important role to play in managing diversity through open communication across groups.

This document provides an abstract for a study that investigated the causes of conflicts between Hausa and Yoruba ethnic groups in Mile 12 Market in Lagos, Nigeria between 1999-2014, as well as the peacebuilding initiatives implemented following hostilities. The study found the major causes of conflicts included disputes over resources, incompatible value systems, poor communication, and impatience. Post-conflict initiatives to build peace included reorganizing the market, education and training programs, interfaith cooperation, security provisions, consociational leadership, and elections. However, ongoing challenges to peacebuilding were also identified, including sanitation issues, housing problems, commercialization of conflict resolution, and lack of social amenities.

This document provides an overview on gender and indigenous peoples. It discusses how indigenous women face multiple forms of discrimination and challenges to enjoying their human rights fully. They experience higher rates of poverty and violence. However, indigenous women have advocated for their rights at the local, national, and international levels, including being leaders in the negotiations of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Applying a gender perspective to issues facing indigenous peoples is important to understand their differentiated needs and experiences. It can help reduce disparities between indigenous men and women in areas like access to resources and participation in development initiatives.

#1
This week I have chosen to discuss common heat sources identified by the NFPA in being common causes of ignition in home fires. The NFPA published the
Home Structure Fires
report in October of 2019 that outlines these fires and supports the conclusions with data from 2018. The following heat sources were listed as common denominators in home structure fires:
Cooking
Heating
Electrical distribution and lighting
Intentional
Smoking materials
Home fires are responsible for seventy-nine percent of fire fatalities and seventy-three percent of fire injuries (Ahrens, 2019). These ignition sources have proven to be the most prevalent forms of starting these types of fires. In addition, it was reported that most fire fatalities were males over the age of 55 (Ahrens, 2019). These fires are generally occurring in the colder months between November and March during the hours of 5 PM to 8 PM when, “… many people are coming home from work, are preparing dinner, or are engaging in other household activities” (Ahrens, 2019).
These ignition sources are common in many households. Cooking fires can vary greatly from stove tops, ovens, grease, toasters, empty coffee pots on heaters, tea pots, etc. Smoking materials, however, are isolated to pipes, cigarettes, and their associated equipment (lighters, matches, etc.). Heating sources, just like cooking fires, have several different ignition source types to include furnaces, stoves (pellet, gas, oil, etc.), chimney ignition, etc. Electrical distribution and lighting malfunctions or surges caused roughly 7 percent of home structure fires and accounted for ten percent of residential deaths (Ahrens, 2019). Lastly, intentionally set residential fires accounted huge amounts of property loss and resulted in 380 fatalities, sixty four percent were linked to suicide (Ahrens, 2019).
It is critical that during home fire safety visits and non-emergent medical calls that fire departments take the time to address these matters with their citizens. Most fire deaths occurred while victims were asleep, are physically disabled (mostly geriatric), or impaired by alcohol or drugs (Ahrens, 2019). These fires are preventable and should be addressed in the public setting when appropriate.

The state would not be forced to transport him back and forth every day and would save considerable money in transport and security costs. Is this a good idea? Is this idea Constitutional? Why or why not?
2. In civil trials, the witnesses are usually deposed before trial. Attorneys for both sides are present at the deposition and ask all the questions that they wish.

Are there any problems with this scenario?

Nigeria
History of Nigeria: The first evidence of humans living in what
is now known as Nigeria, dates back to about 9000 BCE. The
oldest evidence found was a part of a society called the Nok
culture. The evidence found was primarily made of terra-cotta
figurines that were found by miners in the early 1930’s. Before
the British took control over Nigeria in the late 19th century,
4. there were many kingdoms ranging in size that had emerged
there. Several wars including the Yoruba, and the Sokota jihad,
heightened the desire of slave trade while Britain was trying to
end it. Prior, slaves had been traded for European goods such as
guns, but while Britain was actively trying to end the slave
trade, they began to trade more oils, specifically palm oil and
natural resources. The trade of palm oil made the slave trade
worsen because slaves were responsible inthe prouction of the
oil. By the 1870’s, the trade in Nigeria was making money, and
French companies noticed. During this time, a British
businessman bought out the French competitors and began the
Royal Niger Company. With the success over these territories,
the area’s name was changed to the Protectorate of Nigeria and
was governed by Sir Fredrick Lugard. British rule established a
lot of new things by law in Nigeria in regards to religion,
education, and language. Nigeria gained independence on
October 1, 1960, and became a republic in 1963. A midwest
region was created in 1963, dividing the Western region into 3
states. Throughout the 1980’s-1990’s, there was a military
regime and eventually the country practices a representative
democratic republic, where executive power is all in the
government. (Ajayi, & Kirk-Greene, 2019).
Communication styles: Nigeria has 300 extremely diverse
ethnic groups with their own communication styles. The most
uniformly used language is English, although Igbo, Hausa, and
Yoruba are the most dominant indiginous languages. People in
Nigeria like to use titles over first names, such as: Uncle, Sir,
Boss, Auntie, Chief, etc. Within business meetings, Nigerians
tend to include personal topics such as hobbies, and family in
order to create warmth and comfort in conversation. Lastly,
Nigerians tend to have long, timely handshakes, and a sign of
rush, is disrespectful. (Warburton, 2017).
Beliefs: In Nigeria, there are three different types of marriages:
Religious, Civil, and Traditional. Religious marriages take
5. place in a church or mosque. A Christian man is allowed one
wife, but a Muslim man is allowed four wives. A Civil marriage
take place in a government facility, and men are allowed only
one wife. Lastly, a Traditional wedding is taken place in the
wife’s home, and follows the customs of the ethnic group of the
couple. In Nigeria it is estimated that 50% of the population is
Muslim, 40% is Christian and 10% is independent. There are
tensions that have led to many deaths between Muslims and
Christians in Nigeria. (Urry, 2010).
Society Structure: According to the United Nations
Development Programs, there has been a huge progression of
gender equality in Nigeria. The main growth has been in
education. There are now far more educated women then there
used to be. In certain parts of Nigeria, gender equality is not
valued and women are not getting jobs they are qualified for,
and are also prone to sexual violence. With more women in
public office, the gap will grow smalled and smaller.
(Yengayenge, 2019). Children are appreciated and represent
future and often influence marriages. Young boys around the
ages of 4-5, are expected to help their fathers in the fields,
while young girls are expected to help their mothers with
household duties. There are many ethnic groups in Nigeria, each
bordering ethno-religious lines. In the north the predominant
ethnicity is Hausa-Fulani. Islam is important to their identity
and their culture is patriarchal. In southeast Nigeria, Igbo is the
most predominant ethnicity. Contrasting from the north, Igbo is
known to be decentralized and non-hierarchical. (“Ethnicity in
Nigeria”, 2007). The current president is Muhammadu Buhari,
who was elected in 2015 and is the 15th President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. (Urry, 2010).
Reasons for Code and Ethical Behavior:
5 Major Do’s for tourists:
6. Dress casually but modest (no short shorts, or revealing clothes
of any kind). (Topetta, 2019)
Elongate hand shakes and be welcoming with a smile (Topetta,
2019)
Bow down to elders, Respect for elders is crucial (Topetta,
2019)
When invited into a home, bring gifts for the children (nuts,
fruit, etc.) (Topetta, 2019)
Say that the gift is from a woman if you are a man giving the
gift (mother, sister, any female relative). (“DOs and DONTs,
2011).
Value Orientation:
The way one dresses falls under the Past Relation to Time. This
portion focuses on past traditions and the respect of ancestors.
Therefore, dressing modest is a tradition that Nigerians follow
and expect of outsiders for the respect of the past.
Elongating hand shakes falls under the High Context portion.
This portion highlights non verbal communication and how
others are expected to know and sense the behavior, therefore
stating that one is supposed to be aware of this cultural
behavior.
Respecting elders falls under the Linear portion of the Human
Relationships. This portion highlights obedience and respect of
authority. Therefore stating that it is crucial in Nigeria to
respect authority and elders.
Bringing gifts to a Nigerians home is part of the Activity
Orientation. This portion focuses on assessing people or
7. tangible objects, in order to predict behaviors. Therefore, by
following this cultural norm, in which is bringing an object, one
can assess this and predict good behavior.
By mentioning that the gift was from a woman, this is comes
from the Masculinity portion of Activity orientation. This
portion focuses on gender inequalities, differentiated sex roles,
and is poessessions oriented.
5 Major Don'ts for tourists:
Do not use your left hand at ALL, it is considered dirty. No
shaking hands with the left hand, no greeting with the left hand,
nothing. (“DOs and DONTs, 2011).
Do not use a facial expression that does not show empathy,
Nigerians appreciate strong facial expressions to express
interest. (“DOs and DONTs, 2011).
Do not hold eye contact, can be seen as intrusive and
overpowering. (“DOs and DONTs, 2011).
Do not try to wear Nigerian clothes. Nigerians believe other
nationalities look pathetic and too try hard when they do. (“DOs
and DONTs, 2011).
Do not criticize Nigerians, but do not be too polite, because
they take that as a weakness. (“DOs and DONTs, 2011).
Value Orientation:
Using the left hand falls under the Universalism portion of
Human Nature. This is because this is a universal, standardized
rule that everyone is expected to follow whether from Nigeria,
or visiting.
8. Facial expressions fall under the Particularism portion of
Human Nature. This is because situationally, the expressions
will be different. Nigerians expect some sort of reactions while
in conversation which depends on interactions.
Eye contact falls under the High Context portion. This is
because it is a non verbal communication that everybody in
Nigeria is expected to follow circumstantially.
Not being able to wear Nigerian clothes as a tourist stems from
the Collateral portion of Human relationships. This portion
recognizes group consensus and harmony. Therefore if someone
outside of the culture comes in and immerse themselves in
physical Nigerian culture, Nigerians would know that it is an
embarrassment for the tourists thus the tourists would be
shunned from an entire group.
Being cautious of what to say in Nigeria and making sure one is
not too stern or polite, this falls under the Expressive portion of
Human relationships. This portion focuses on social interactions
and how they are valued in order to get along. Therefore, one
will be self aware in order to not be made a fool of, or
disrespectful, by talking and creating a relationship with a
Nigerian.

Cultural Write Up - Italy Making Acquaintances Diff. &
Similarities
COLLAPSE
Historical Background
Italy became a nation-state in 1861, when the city states of the
peninsula along with Sardinia and Sicily were all united under
King Victor Emmanuel. Parliamentary government ended in the
10. early 1920’s when Benito Mussolini established a faciast
dictatorship. In 1946 a democratic monarchy replaced the
dictatorship, and an economic revival followed. Italy has been
the forefront of the European economic and political
unification, joining the European Monetary Union in 1999.
Ongoing problems in Italy include; illegal immigration,
organized crime and corruption, high unemployment, and low
incomes in southern italy compared to northern Italy (“Italy
Country Profile”, 2020)
Communication Style
Typically Italians tend to be social, expressive and animated.
Italians also tend to be loud and it is safe to expect interruptions
while speaking. They also tend to be eloquent in the way they
speak. Silence during a conversation is rare and silence tends to
make italians uncomfortable (Aguliar, 2013). Italians are also
famous for their non-verbal communication style. They often
greet friends with a tight hug or a kiss on either cheek. You can
also find them greeting people with a hand shake, nod, slap on
the back or a smile (“Italian non-verbal greetings,” 2018).
Beliefs
71.4% of Italians are Christian. Making Christianity the
dominant religion and the majority of the country being of
Catholic denomination. The Catholic church accounts for 93%
of Christians in Italy (“The Religious Demographics of Italy,
2019”). The family is a very important aspect in the beliefs of
Italians. The family provides emotional and economic support.
Parents typically have authority over the children. There is also
a lot of respect shown towards elderly. Families tend to have a
patriarchal head, and more traditional values. However, some
non conservative family values are accepted. (“Cultural Atlas,
2020”).
11. Society Structure
In 2019 it was reported that the population of Italy was
estimated to be 59 million people. The ethnic group that
dominates the country is Italian (includes small clusters of
German-, French-, and Slovene-Italians in the north and
Albanian-Italians and Greek-Italians in the south). The
government is a Republic. Italian is the official language of
Italy and 93% of the population speak the regional dialect. The
family is the center of the social structure and they are typically
nuclear families. The family provides both emotional and
economic stability (“Italy-Language, Culture, Customs, and
Etiquette”, 2019).
Reasons for Codes of Cultural Behavior
Five Major “Do’s” for Tourists:
1. When meeting someone, try to use phrases like “Buon
Giorno” or “Buona Sera” as these are appropriate when talking
to a stranger (“Ten Do’s and Don’ts of Italian Travel Etiquette,”
2018).
2. Italian locals do appreciate when you try to speak Italian so
it's important to learn some basic phrases before you travel
(“Ten Do’s and Don’ts of Italian Travel Etiquette,” 2018).
3. Italian culture is much more conservative in comparison to
American culture. It is important to cover your shoulders and
knees. Especially if travel plans include exploring any of the
many churches in Italy as you may not be permitted to enter if
you are not dressed modestly (“Seven Do’s and Don’ts When
Traveling in Italy,” 2012).
4. To wish someone good morning or good evening Italians will
kiss both friends and strangers on either cheek (“A Guide to
12. Italy,” 2019).
5. You should introduce yourself before asking to speak with
someone on the telephone (“Social Customs in Italy,” 2010).
Value Orientation for Major Cultural Do’s
“Human Relationships” appropriately matches the first “Do” on
the list because, by appropriately and respectfully greeting
someone while in the host country will make for the start of
healthy relationship or at least a cordial interaction.
“Human Nature” appropriately matches the second “Do” on the
list because, by speaking the hosts language tourists are
showing an initiative to interact with someone from a different
country. This promotes universalism.
“Relation to Time” appropriately matches the third “Do” on the
list because, Italians live a very conservative and traditional
way of life that pays tribute to the past. Although this may not
match the values of other cultures, it shows respect to the host
country.
“Relation to Nature” appropriately matches the fourth “Do” on
the list because this is an outward depiction of harmony.
“Activity Orientation” appropriately matches the fifth and final
“Do” on the list because, Although quite formal, it shows that
you as a tourist are immersing yourself in the cultural activities
and values of the host country.
Five Major “Don'ts” for Tourists:
1. One thing that seems to be a big pet peeve for Italian locals
is when tourists block walkways. While either walking side by
side, or walking slow and stopping to look at the sites. The
13. streets are notoriously narrow, and it can be difficult for the
locals to live their daily lives with so many tourists visiting all
year round (“Seven Do’s and Don’ts When Traveling in Italy,”
2012).
2. Never eat or drink while inside the churches (“A Guide to
Italy,” 2019).
3. It is considered rude if you refuse a “top off” of wine during
a meal (“A Guide to Italy,” 2019).
4. Do not seat yourself while visiting the local restaurants. It is
important to wait for your hostess (“A Guide to Italy,” 2019).
5. Do not insult your host or hostess. As a tourist you may be
excused but, you most likely won't be invited again (“A Guide
to Italy,” 2019).
Value Orientation for Major Cultural Don’ts
“Activity Orientation” appropriately matches the first “Don’t”
on the list because, this directly correlates with doing, and
being. It is important as tourists to be aware that you are in the
host country and things are different.
“Relation to time” appropriately matches the second “Don’t” on
the list because, The church and religion is a big part of Italian
history and it is important to Italians that everyone, including
tourists uphold a certain degree of decorum and respect when
inside the churches.
“Human Nature” appropriately matches the third “Don’t” on the
list because, Although not even thought about in other cultures,
the Italians see this as rude. So, when visiting it is important to
immerse oneself into the host culture as much as one is
comfortable with to avoid culture shock.
14. “Relation to Nature” appropriately matches the fourth “Don’t”
on the list because, it is important not to subjugate the
host/hostess when visiting another country. Especially Italy as
it is an important value of theirs for the host/hostess to have a
certain level of control in a situation pertaining to guests.
“Human Relationships” appropriately matches the fifth and final
“Don’t” on the list because, just like in many cultures it is
important to respect the person who is serving you.
