Finally, it touches on cultural diversity, managing diversity, and includes a case study on Disney expanding to Hong Kong.
This document provides a historical overview of the development of geography as a field of study. It describes contributions from ancient Greek philosophers who first classified the world into climatic regions. It discusses the work of Roman geographers like Strabo and Ptolemy who built upon these concepts and created early maps. During the Middle Ages, Muslim geographers advanced techniques like triangulation and created detailed maps. In modern times, geography grew as a science with debates between environmental determinism and possibilism perspectives on human-environment relationships.
In broad terms, cultural geography examines the cultural values, practices, discursive and material expressions and artefacts of people, the cultural diversity and plurality of society.
It also emphasizes on how cultures are distributed over space, how places and identities are produced, how people make sense of places and build senses of place, and how people produce and communicate knowledge and meaning.

When two or more people come together with a shared purpose, they form a culture with written and unwritten rules for behavior. Cultural environments provide standards people must adapt to, and cultures are constantly changing and adapting to internal and external forces. Multiculturalism refers to the coexistence of diverse cultures including racial, religious, or cultural groups manifested in behaviors, values, thinking styles, and communication styles. Multicultural education aims to create equal opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds by transforming schools and helping students develop positive attitudes toward different groups.
Here are some key concepts about the growth of language shown through the development of the English language:
- Languages evolve and change over time as they come into contact with other languages and cultures through things like migration, trade, conquest, etc. Old English was transformed into Middle English by Norman French influences after the Norman conquest.
- Languages diffuse from their origin as their speakers migrate and settle new lands, spreading the language with them. English diffused from Britain to its colonies around the world.
- A language may take on new prestige and importance based on political, economic or cultural factors. As the British Empire grew, so did the global influence and spread of English.
- The core vocabulary and grammar of a language remains intact
Identity is derived from our family, gender, culture, ethnicity, and socialization processes. Cultural identity refers to a shared system of symbolic behaviors meaningful to a group. An individual's identity is shaped by their culture, as culture informs their worldview. Culture starts affecting us from birth, as the language we hear most becomes our mother tongue and shapes how we develop and communicate. As we grow up according to our country, region, and neighborhood's rules and traditions, we develop lasting cultural beliefs and values. Climate also impacts culture by influencing clothing, crops, animals, and housing in different areas. Culture shapes personality by influencing how we learn, live, and behave. Culture defines our evolutionary identity and gives our lives meaning by helping us
Migration and Types of Migrations involving World migration PatternSadia Rahat
1. Migration involves the movement of people across boundaries and is one of three components of population change, along with births and deaths. It is difficult to measure, model, and forecast compared to fertility and mortality.
2. Migrations can be internal within a country or region, or international across country borders. They can be voluntary or involuntary, and people who migrate are either immigrants or emigrants depending on their departure and destination points.
3. Migrations are selective based on factors like age, sex, family size, occupation, race, and education level. Young adults tend to migrate more than other age groups for jobs, while married people migrate less than unmarried people. Men also tend to migrate more than women.

This document discusses the relationship between culture and language. It defines culture as the distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of a society or social group. Language is seen as a fundamental part of culture from philosophical, communicative and pragmatic points of view. As the world becomes more globalized, learning about culture through language is becoming a central part of language education. Teaching foreign languages using elements of the target culture, such as British culture, helps develop cultural awareness, intercultural skills, empathy and tolerance. Real-life cultural artifacts like music, food, clothing and texts can be incorporated into language lessons.
This document provides an overview of transactional analysis (TA), a model developed by Eric Berne for understanding human interaction and communication. [1] TA posits that people have three ego states - Parent, Adult, and Child - and that interactions, or "transactions", between two people involve messages moving between their different ego states. [2] Transactions can be complementary, crossed, or ulterior. TA is used for behavioral, social, historical, and phenomenological diagnosis and has applications in organizational development to improve communication, relationships, and personal growth.
Language both reflects and creates culture through linguistic practices that generate meaning. It serves several cultural functions, including shaping cultural worldviews and cognitive processes, directing attention to important social realities, fostering group identity, and enabling social change. While language reinforces cultural norms, it also allows for code-switching and the flexible expression of new meanings over time. Overall, the document discusses the close relationship between language and culture, and how language socializes individuals and transmits cultural values.

Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society. Key aspects studied include languages in contact, language variation, and language and gender. [1] Language varies based on social factors like gender, age, social class, and ethnicity. [2] Men and women tend to use language differently, with women generally using more questions, self-disclosure, and minimal responses while men tend toward verbal aggression and changing conversation topics. [3] The study of language variation according to social factors provides insights into membership in social groups and cultural norms.

Abraham Maslow was a psychologist born in 1908 in Brooklyn, New York to Jewish immigrant parents from Russia. He had a difficult childhood experiencing anti-Semitism and abuse from his parents. Maslow went on to earn his PhD from the University of Wisconsin and taught at several universities. He is best known for proposing the hierarchy of needs, which suggests humans must satisfy basic physiological and safety needs before pursuing higher needs for love, esteem, and self-actualization. Maslow studied exceptional individuals to develop his theories of human motivation and behavior. His hierarchy of needs theory remains influential in psychology and its applications in education aim to meet students' fundamental needs for learning.
The document discusses different theories of learning including behaviorism, constructivism, and definitions of learning. Behaviorism views learning as changes in observable behavior due to stimuli and reinforcement. Constructivism sees learning as an active process where learners construct knowledge based on their experiences. The document contrasts traditional classrooms with constructivist classrooms, noting differences in how students and teachers approach learning.
Mutual tolerance of multiculturalism is important to prevent misconceptions between cultural groups and exacerbating tensions. While some countries like Canada, Australia and Malaysia officially promote multiculturalism, Germany has found that attempts to build a multicultural society have failed. Overcoming challenges like ethnocentrism, dominant ideologies and cultural arrogance can help societies achieve multiculturalism and its benefits, like economic gains from international trade and greater global understanding. Education is key to developing multicultural awareness and appreciation of differences.

The report was released in 2010 and examines how cultural diversity is impacted by globalization. It recommends governments and organizations promote cultural diversity through supporting intercultural dialogue, developing intercultural competencies, and ensuring cultural diversity is considered in all policy areas like education, languages, media, and development. The report suggests a dynamic approach to cultural diversity that recognizes individuals and groups may have multiple, multidimensional identities.
Culture is learned behavior and norms that are transmitted between generations in human societies. It includes material objects, skills, knowledge, values, attitudes, and languages. Culture is varied between different human groups, adaptive over time, and passed down from older to younger generations through social learning and institutions like family and schools. Understanding culture can contribute to effective teaching and help with human development and innovation.

Project APRCH (Agency in the Preservation of Refugee Cultural Heritage) asks refugees to speak in their own voice (agency) about how they wish to document (record for posterity), perpetuate (ongoing practice/survival) and disseminate (make accessible) their cultural heritage. By using a “scholarship of dialogue” approach, we seek to be culturally competent in this endeavor.

The importance of preserving intangible cultural heritage in combating the negative consequences of Globalisation.
“The bulk of the world’s current problems stem from a detachment from traditional cultures. This culture, knowledge and experience must be protected at all costs. It is the only hope for sustainability of cultural identity while allowing modern development.” UNESCO 2009
We share cultural expressions that have been passed from one generation to another. Safeguarding living heritage is vital to sustaining a community’s innate creativity and sense of identity.
An understanding of the intangible cultural heritage of different communities helps with intercultural dialogue, and encourages mutual respect for other ways of life. The importance of intangible cultural heritage is not the cultural manifestation itself but rather the wealth of knowledge and skills that is transmitted through it from one generation to the next.
The global wealth of traditions has become one of the principal motivations for travel, with tourists seeking to engage with new cultures and experience the global variety of performing arts, handicrafts, rituals, cuisines and interpretations of nature and the universe.
Fostering the responsible use of this living heritage for tourism purposes can provide new employment opportunities, help alleviate poverty, curb rural flight migration among the young and marginally employed, and nurture a sense of pride among communities.

This document provides an overview of multicultural educational perspectives across 5 topics:
1) Definitions of culture from sociological, anthropological, and other lenses. Culture includes shared beliefs, traditions, and goals of a group.
2) The importance of not mistaking ethnicity for exceptionality, as behaviors considered abnormal in one culture may be normal in another.
3) Key aspects of multicultural and bilingual education including culturally appropriate instruction, assessment, and addressing disproportionate representation in special education.
4) Examining how one thinks about culture, including the origins of mankind in Africa and how cultures developed based on factors like environment, beliefs, and politics.

The document discusses the history and development of pop culture in the Philippines from ancient times to today. It traces how the concept of popular culture emerged in the 19th century and became associated with mass media and consumerism after World War II. It describes key aspects of Filipino culture, including its blend of Eastern and Western influences and emphasis on family. It also examines concepts like pakikisama and utang na loob that shape Filipino social interactions. In conclusion, it outlines various economic and social benefits of culture, such as improved learning, health, community cohesion, and economic opportunities in tourism and job creation.
This document discusses key concepts related to multicultural education from multiple perspectives. It begins by defining culture from traditional, sociological, anthropological, and romanticist views. It also discusses the components of culture including subculture, counterculture, and dominant culture. The document then examines the topics of ethnicity versus exceptionality, noting how one group's norms may be seen as exceptional in another culture. It outlines important aspects of multicultural and bilingual education such as addressing disproportionality, using students' cultural strengths in instruction, and ensuring culturally-appropriate assessment. The document emphasizes that effective multicultural education allows students to take pride in their own cultures while also developing understanding and appreciation of differences.
The document discusses the objectives of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue in 2008. The goals were to promote intercultural dialogue, highlight its benefits for a diverse society, and make citizens, especially youth, sensitive to developing open and respectful European citizenship. It also aimed to emphasize different cultures' contributions to the shared European heritage. The document notes that intercultural dialogue is important for policies on education, youth, culture, and more. It argues this poses challenges for education systems traditionally focused on forming a common national culture. School curricula must reflect diversity and cultures' contributions while still supporting political unity.
The document discusses the decline of cultural diversity globally. It defines cultural diversity as encompassing factors like age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, class, abilities, origin, location, politics, size, and appearance that influence human experiences. Some indicators of decline are the loss of languages, with half spoken by few people and one disappearing every two weeks, due to issues like globalization, politics, economics, and language attitudes. Causes mentioned include large companies threatening diversity and traditional cultures through patents. Implications involve loss of identity and knowledge, while ethics perspectives presented support diversity and cultural rights. Suggested solutions center around education, understanding, protecting smaller languages, and empowering policies.

Whose Culture, Whose Creative City. A paper given by Paul Long of the AHRC-funded Cultural Intermediation project at the Royal Geographical Society annual conference in August 2014.
This document discusses cultural diversity and culture. It defines culture as a way of life that expresses meanings and values through institutions and behavior. Diversity is defined as both variety, where all people are unique, and difference, where specific groups differ from dominant groups. Cultural diversity refers to the variety of human societies and cultures globally and locally. The importance of cultural diversity is that it provides exchange, innovation, and creativity for humanity. Issues related to cultural diversity include stereotypes, lack of familiarity between cultures, and tensions between diversity and group cohesion. The document provides suggestions for addressing diversity such as planning for it upfront, improving communication, and adjusting management techniques. Steps to strengthen diversity include developing networks, forums, training, and celebrating

Migrations and the Net: new virtual spaces to build a cultural identityeLearning Papers
Author: Linda J. Castañeda, Paz Prendes, Francisco Martínez-Sánchez.
This paper presents some of the reflections, projects and results around the topics of multiculturalism and migration attained by the Educational Technology Research Group at the University of Murcia, some of them integrated in the Interuniversity Cooperation programmes promoted by the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation (AECI).
Developing cultural dexterity leads to cultural competence. Cultural competence — the ability to work effectively across a variety of cultures — begins as a conversation among people who see the world differently.
Developing dexterity with diversity does not just happen. We need social and educational experiences plus reflection on the experience to go beyond reliance on stereotypes. The Universal Declaration makes it clear that each individual must acknowledge not only “otherness” in all its forms, but also the plurality of his or her own identity, within societies that are themselves plural.
Understanding diversity embraces acceptance, respect, and empathy. It means we understand that each individual is unique and multi-faceted. This means understanding each other despite our differences. This is the most important dialogue we can have in the Boardrooms and University classrooms around the world.
This document discusses multicultural education and defines key concepts. It begins by defining culture and explaining that culture is learned and transmitted between generations. It then discusses two models of multicultural societies: the melting pot perspective of assimilation, and the salad bowl perspective of pluralism. The melting pot perspective expects minority groups to abandon their cultures and integrate fully into the dominant culture. However, this can suppress diversity and inequality. The salad bowl perspective recognizes cultural pluralism and diversity as strengths in a society. The document argues for expanding multicultural education beyond a sole focus on equity to also include democratic values, cultural pluralism, and global interdependence.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
Health informatics has huge employment potential and provides a big business opportunity for the healthcare industry. A big pool of trained health informatics manpower can lead to product & service innovations on a global scale in India.

3. CULTURE
The word "culture" derives from a French term,
which in turn derives from the Latin ”Colere," which
means to tend to the earth and grow, or cultivation
and nurture.
Basically culture is the characteristics and knowledge
of a particular group of people, defined by
everything from language, religion, cuisine, social
habits, music and arts.

4. CULTURAL INTEGRATION
• Cultural integration is a form of cultural exchange in which one group assumes
the beliefs, practices and rituals of another group without sacrificing the
characteristics of its own culture
OR
• Integrating cultures usually refer to several cultures coming together to form a
new, multicultural society and each culture keeps its character, features and
values

5. CULTURAL GLOBALIZATION VS CULTURAL
INTEGRATION
• Cultural globalization includes the interaction and integration of people,
companies and governments of different nations
• It is driven by an increased interconnection among countries in areas of
economics, politics and culture, as well as international trade and investments
• Cultural integration is an affiliated part of cultural globalization
• Mcdonalds was once an American favorite, now it is a global enterprise with
31,000 locations worldwide with locations in Kuwait, Egypt, and Malta

6. CULTURAL INTEGRATION
• Recent example in Durham region of Canada, is the practice of scattering the
ashes of the deceased in streams and rivers as part of the Hindu religion
• A designated place in Pickering on lake Ontario (at the end of Frisco road) has
been set aside to accommodate this practice
61/14/2017
7. ADVANTAGES OF CULTURAL INTEGRATION
• Promotes humanistic values
• Improves productivity and profitability
• Helps to create a pool of talent
• Exchange of innovative ideas
• Other benefits of diversity
71/14/2017
8. CULTURAL ASSIMILATION
• Assimilation requires the absorption of minority
cultures into the majority culture,
monocultural, even a monofaith, society.
• Burqa ban in France- ’We created a monster
(Agnès de Féo a sociologist and filmmaker )
• It both encouraged “Islamophobia” as well as
given Muslim extremists more cause to feel the
need to rise up against the French state
• 137 French women fighting in the middle east,
including 45 teenagers

9. CULTURAL SHOCK
A multifaceted experience resulting from numerous stressors occurring in contact
with a different culture.
Mostly occurs for immigrant groups (e.g., foreign students and refugees [Dodge,
1990]
Reasons might be:
a. Previous experience with other cultures
b. The degree of difference in one's own and the host culture;
c. The degree of preparation;
d. Social support networks;
e. Individual psychological characteristics (Furnham & Bochner, 1986) 91/14/2017
11. ADJUSTMENT CHALLENGES
OF MIGRANTS
Language barrier (seeking jobs, business,
communication)
Religion barrier - Young girls in Finland have
been found to live in fear of religiously
motivated honor violence
Education barrier
The statistics on the right side shows that
Turks are the worst integrated group in the
context of German language skills
comparing to the South-West Europeans,
Former Yugoslavians and Ethnic Germans.

12. RECOMMENDATIONS
• Despite all the conflicting values and cultural differences; it is important for the
migrants origin and host countries’ citizens to accept and tolerate each other
• There should be respect for the practices, beliefs and values of every culture
• Host country should give a better support to immigrants and include them as a
part of the society by replacing the negative public perceptions with positive
ones that sees immigrants as contributors to multiculturalism
• Politicians and society can work together to create a desired model of
multicultural society
• Media can play a vital role in constructing awareness for cultural integration
