Ubuntu- I am; because of you. Without the interactions of other people, we wouldn’t be so “human”. We learn to be more human through the behavior of others and understanding how we all connect despite cultural differences brings us closer to ourselves and others, we are interconnected.

interdependence; the dependence of two or more people or things on each other.(Boyd Varty, Ted Talk)
both words are strongly rooted and play a significant role in cross-culture psychology for fact that ubuntu is the way that people should treat eachother, ubuntu is a philosophy that i believe every child should be introduced to at a young age. interdependence is related to the subject because 100% of human being become interdependent with some aspect of life at one point or another.

Development niche to me was talking about how a person’s culture play a major role as well as guiding the individual in certain choices they make throughout life.

Emic and Etic.
I believe both these terms are critical to understand in order to better grasp the methodology and approach of cross cultural psychology. When researching a culture there is two points of view that it can be studied by; the emic and etic
approach. The emic (insider)approach, is when the researcher views the culture by positioning themselves within their culture of study. This allows them to observe and understand that specific cultural without bias from their own cultural background.
The etic (outsider) approach, is different because it does not involve integrating within a culture but rather observing then comparing and contrasting from previously collected data to refute or accept a claim. This leads to the possibility of misinformation because it is not personally observed data such as the emic approach may offer.

As you grow into the human service profession, you will discover the need to have a shared understanding of the language associate with the field. It is extremely important to be able to dialogue with other professionals (social workers, psychologist, supervisors, court officials, medical providers, etc.) using the terminology of the field.

To this end, we will build a Glossary of terminology each of us will add to. The idea is to not only define words but to understand how to use them in discourse.

Enter two (2) words from your reading or from the videos.

You cannot duplicate an existing entry; but you can add onto another students definition.

Each Glossary entry will include the following information:

Ø  The term, theory, phrase, event, or author.

Ø  A plain language descriptive explanation, in your own words.

Ø  A statement of how your entry is significant to the study of cross-cultural psychology.

Ø  A citation for where you located the information.
