ReplyDeleteIn Morocco and some European countries (context), a way to say hello or greet someone is to give a kiss on each cheek to each other(culture). In my family, if we have already seen each other early in the day, we would give a kiss on on cheek or just a hug.

ReplyDeletein my culture its kind of like what you(Mr. pamperin) talked about. When you bump into another person its disrespect. But they don't like BOW to you. No offense but that's a bit strange... you just apologize quickly and then walk away...
ReplyDeleteania
p.s please tell me if I should add something or take something away.
In polish culture, it is VERY important to always greet the older person before you greet them. If you don't do this it is not like you will DIE or something, its just really disrespectful...
Well, in my culture, you have to wash your hands before and after you eat and when you are a child you have to ask the oldest person if you can leave the the lunch or dinner table
ReplyDeleteGabriel, I didn't really understand what you are trying to communicate. Please explain in a bit more detail.
ReplyDeleteGabriel.I.H (G.I.H)
ReplyDeleteIt refers also with people and traditions, not only the religion ! :DDD
Respond Gab !
I think that it is a thing where you can send other people to see your pictures, blogs, and video
ReplyDeleteIn My context, The culture is respect. everybody has to respect everyone by shaking hands, bowing to adults ( if you are a teenager ) and giving and recieving things by 2 hands. there is also that, when you want to give a knife to someone, you hold the blade so that the person you are giving to can get the knifes' handle without getting hurt.
ReplyDeleteI AM HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

ReplyDeletecontext: the set of circumstances or facts that surround a particular event, situation,
ReplyDeleteIn my cutler when I eat tagine i use three fingers with the bread :)
I will tell you that the American version of contexts is that there if you push someone then they will push you back and want to start a fight with you if you act like a cool kid against them or they will bully you or they might say "it's okay"
ReplyDeleteDon't worry guys !!! Be happy !!!
ReplyDeleteIn my culture we can not wear jeans to Church because you are entering the house of God not your home. My parents would get very mad if I even thought about putting on jeans to go to Church.
ReplyDeleteIn my French culture when you enter the Operas de Paris you have to have one of your best outfits and you have to show yourself very mature and polite. You sometimes are with older people and you have to act there age: all clean and perfect. I went in training before entering the Operas de Paris ( my mom was helping me to be very well behaved). If you are 7 when you go to the Operas de Paris for the first time(like I did) you have to be an angel because there are no kids that are less than 16 years old in there!
so many comments to read -.-'
ReplyDeleteI am really happy with this first set of postings, but I see that a number of us are using the example I used in class as a starting point. Here is something else to think about: In Morocco, I need to be thinking in a Moroccan cultural context because this is where I am living. What may be considered disrespectful in my American context may not be in a Moroccan context. This understanding of cultural context is vital because it allows me think about situations through a variety of different perspectives and contexts. There will always be times when I say the wrong thing; however, understanding the cultural context helps me make better choices because I am able to "put myself in the other person's shoes".
ReplyDeleteIn my culture we should attend church every Sunday. We should also say grace before eating. At church you should were nice clothes.
ReplyDeleteIn my culture, when I am a visitor at someone elses house, I should always say "salam 3likom" when I come in and "bslama, khalikom 3la khir" when I go out.

People who are muslims (context) say bismillah before they eat and hamdoulah After they eat(culture).Bismilah thanks God for the food and hamdoulah thanks the God for giving us enough food for us to feel full. We shake hands with people with our right hand as a sign of respect. When someone arrives from travel we say 3la al salama.
ReplyDeletethis is a comment to ilyass
ReplyDeletedont we say 3la al salama
to alix
ReplyDeletedo you know why there are mostly adults and not as many kids
to kim
ReplyDeletewhy dont kids (8-12) not bow to adults
they dont count as teenagers
i think that cultural context is what you do in your culture and maybe other clues about other people in other places that do the same thing
ReplyDeleteTo Adam, can you give us some more examples, I like what you wrote, but could you add more please?
ReplyDeleteEmma:
ReplyDeleteIs your culture defined by only your religion or are there other aspects of your culture that you would like to mention? Thanks!
