Uni#1 My reflection

During this unit I learned about culture but it was more than just culture because I also learned how I am and what important things I have in my own culture, I learned about my cultural identity because even that was my own cultural identity I did not think about all those thing before. I also realized that we all have different culture and each culture is important.

one of the topics I really liked during this unit was culture shock because I also went through it when I arrived in this country, because it is not the same culture as my culture, and you can get confused. I learned by all activities we did in this class, for example all the documents, researches and videos, which were all didactic and I think it was the best way to learn about culture. In addition, we made a poster where I explained my own culture and my classmate also shared more about their culture.

My aha moment was when we were in the first class and the professor asked, what is culture? And I immediately thought about we all are culture because we all have different cultures and by the moment, I thought it, the professor just said, “culture is us”.

The essence of this unit was to know more about culture and how we can define culture in the world because even we all know about culture. We haven’t thought very deep about the real meaning of culture and how culture could influence in your life.

I didn’t know how your lifestyle and culture can influence you as a person, because each one has different beliefs, thoughts, goals and even we all have another way to see the life.

To conclude I think this unit was very important to know each one and each culture in this class. And we all learned about our own culture and that’s the most satisfying thing, because I didn’t think that much deep about my own culture.
