Understanding how we think and what we value are pretty easy things for us to understand. As an American, I know that there are things that I do and say that have become part of my culture. My cultural context in this situation is what I expect to happen during situations based on my experiences. During my travels, I have begun to understand other cultural contexts which have assisted me in becoming a better communicator.
Here are a list of questions I want you to answer:
Here are a list of questions I want you to answer:
- What are some examples of things you would never want your friends to do in the presence of their parents? Why? Are these rules written down or does everyone just know it?
- What are some examples of things you would never want your parents to do when they were in the presence of your friends? Why? Are these rules written down or does everyone just know it?
- When everyone knows a rule that is not written down, we call that a “social norm”. List 3 “social norms” using your culture as a context (think about the social norms of school, home, family trips, sleep-overs, etc.).

ReplyDelete1. I would want that they won't talk too much, talk so loud, be destructive, being unkind etc. These are not rules that are written down but it's the normal basics rules.
2. I would want my parents to never EVER ask questions about how is "Jung Woo" Or anything about me. I also want them to just not ask any random questions. These are just what i expect from them
3. I will Think about it
Jung Woo, good start, is there any way for you elaborate on any these thoughts so they are more specific and less general.
ReplyDeleteWhy are your parents not allowed to ask you questions?
I mean like ask my friends how "I" am
ReplyDelete1. Some examples is that I don't want my friends to say inapropriate words in front of my parents. I also don't like when my friends get shy in front of my parents and don't be rude. These are rules that are written down.
ReplyDelete2. I wouldn't like my parents to get mad at me for any reason in front of my dear friends because I feel embarassed and some "friends" start teasing me about that. I also don't like when a friend and I want to plan something (either if it is half day or a Wednesday), and my parents say no, because after that friend will get mad at me since his/her parent said yes, and we won't be friends at all. These rules everyone knows them.
3. (1) Never be with someone mean at school (2) Always come at time from your friend's house (3) Have snack, watch TV, and then DO YOUR HOMEWORK, when you get to home.
By the way, alonsobarca is my psuedo or whatever they call it, I am Ilyass El-Jirari.
Ilyass, thanks for sharing. I like your pseudo name. Would you say that your friends being shy in front of your parents is an unwritten rule that you have or a rule that your parents have as well? And, when you go to a friend's house, are shy in front of their parents? I look forward to your reply!
