Sometimes within Asian cultures they are taught to make friends and respect older people. Therefore they might think that by doing these things, it is his understanding that he is making friends like this. Although it is important for the teacher to talk to the parents. The teacher can explain to the student what individual work is, and also to make sure that the student is ok and adjusting well to this classroom setting.

It is important to note that most people consider beliefs to be subjective. This means that a specific belief can be true to one person and not to the next. This involves relativism, which means that the truth of something depends on each person’s individual opinion. However, some people speak against relativism, claiming that for a belief/truth to be true, it must be true in any situation and to any person.

An example of a belief is a religious belief. A specified religious belief could be the belief in an afterlife, like the Christian belief of heaven, hell and purgatory.

Cultural norms are the fixed behavior patterns for members of a cultural group. While members of a culture may share the larger norms of their society, the importance and intensity these norms are held may vary within culture itself. These variations are based off of socioeconomics, generational, gender, and/or ethnic differences.

Culture norms so pervade thought and action that the few individuals recognize the assumptions governing their behavior, and because so much cultural knowledge is subconsious, people rarely notice that thru interept and talk about events differently than do people in other cultures until they are confronted with a culture different of their own.

Formal norms, called mores, govern culturally and socially sanctioned behavior and incur special penalties or censure when they are violated.

Folkway is a loosely enforced norm that involves common customs, practices, and procedures that ensure smooth social interaction and acceptance

Values are the beliefs that people hold within a culture.

Cultural values are are the core principles and ideals upon which an entire community exists. This is made up of several parts: customs, which are traditions and rituals; values which are beliefs; and culture, which is all of a group's guiding values.

Some examples of values in my culture (American) are:
independence, individualism, and equality.

Many of my Brazilians students seem to swallow the ending of some words. Why does

this happen, and how can I correct this?
- English is not their language and it is hard for them to speak it. Some ways I can correct this is by continuous work with language and telling them to try again when they have made a mistake.

We think that pulling those students aside to do a small group activity to work on pronunciation would benefit them without make them feel embarrassed in front of the class. We think this would be effective and help them in an area they need help in.

The teacher should get a second opinion from another teacher and if both see a problem with the way the student is dressed, the teacher should set up a conference with a parent/guardian present to address the issue.

I don't think that I would tell her that she is dressing "inappropriately," but I would get a second opinion from another female teacher on how to approach the situation. If there is a dress code that she must adhere to, we would have to enforce it.

I can tell from my Brazilian students' behavior that I have clearly offended him, but I

don’t know exactly how. Is there something I should know about Hispanic culture to

communicate better with him? How do you say “I am sorry” in Spanish?
- Yes, the student background and not necessarily their culture, because it may be different from what we think we know.
- "lo siento mucho mijo"

# data[].attributes.body
We would do an extra lesson in class on inclusion and kindness to others even if they are new or are struggling with something different. We also thought that communicating to other teachers that you think showing your students that you care is really important.

Why are many of my Brazilian students having trouble making friends with students

from other cultures, especially native English speakers?

- Pair up students randomly
