https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5 What plays a part in this part of Indian Caste culture? Religion, politics, topography, climate, or history? Perhaps even a combination. en-us 2016-12-11 19:16:23 UTC 2016-12-14 07:57:31 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Optimplaces.png ichew https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143012107 2016-12-11 19:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143012107 ichew https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143014994 2016-12-11 20:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143014994 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143076397 Religion is a big sector that plays a part of the Indian Caste Culture in different ways. In World Religions last year we learned about the caste system in Hinduism. Also, its part of history and social structure due to the caste system existing in the past. Finally, social structure because the caste system is part of ones society. For example the "untouchables" are a downgrade in the social class ]]> 2016-12-12 10:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143076397 chrissaleh15 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143076511 I believe that both history and topography play a huge role in the caste system. History because it's a part of Indian past that these untouchables are the way they are. Hence why people identify them by their last names. Nothing can change the way people view them due to the actions of their ancestors. And also topography because their location plays a huge role as well to their actions. Only a certain area doesn't have toilets which causes them to deficate in the streets hence why that area is the way it is. You could also say that they have short time past and present oriented because they live day to day and survive by the day and look at the future less]]> 2016-12-12 10:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143076511 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143076780 According to the 6 determinants of culture, I think that the first one can be social structure. Since ever, the population in India is divided and there is an enormous gap between each group in the social hierarchy. It can be a combination between history and social structure. However, religion and climate can play a role as well. Due to their religion, they are not treated equally. For instance, for the untouchables, they arent and will never be treated equally and this is why they pee on the streets. However, in contrast to the upper class, they arent clean as well so it has to do with culture and what they inherit. Furthermore, it has been going on and still going on so history will keep repeating itself. Education can be a factor as well because of Indians were fairly educated, they would not behave this way and would not create inequity in their society. I think its a combination of all factors and they are somehow interconnected. ]]> 2016-12-12 10:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143076780 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143077284 I think Indian culture is the way it is because of religion, in the video they said that the class caste system is based on the system of class division that Buddhism created. Many Indians are Buddhists because the Muslims went to Pakistan. But now it is a thing of history because of how long people have been dividing the classes

Religion, climate, and history play a part in the Indian Caste culture. Hinduism is India, and India is Hinduism. The reason why India has a unique culture is because most of its population consists of Hindus. Secondly, the climate and topography have a role in cultute, as India is more of a farming, rural country; it's not a high-end city like New York. I would say that India has a low PDI, since they lack equality. The poor are not treated equally, and even the women struggle in the Indian society.]]> 2016-12-12 10:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143077285 ichew https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143077361 Religion plays a huge role in the Indian culture as it said in the video that the caste system in India was created by Buddhism. The Indian population is majorly consumed by religion. Religion is the reason why people are not treated equally and there are social structures dividing the different classes of the people.]]> 2016-12-12 10:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143077361 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143077566 India is a diverse culture. There are varities of religions in India such as hindusim, Islam and christianity. Eighty four percent of the population are hindu, thirteen percent of the population are muslims, which make the amount of Christians three percent. Politics is part of the Indian Caste Culture based on the traditions known as The Great Tradition and The Little Tradition. The Great Tradition is known for the higher forms of Hindusim and The Little Tradition is known for the lowest form of the culture.   The climate known in India is tropical monsoon, this means the reversal of the winds during the year. Religion divides the country by three categories and are different. Overall the culture is divided between the rich people and the poor people. ]]> 2016-12-12 10:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143077566 habiba_allam6464 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143077583 I think the caste culture in India is a cocktail of many cultural dimensions including, Power Distance Index and religious aspects. The reason behind that is that the "untouchables" were tasked with cleaning  crap and that in India is seen as a huge cultural gap. In hinduism there is cultural gap for example, Brahmin(considered to be high on the social scale, priests) all the way to
Sudras(lowest on the scale, peasants and servants).]]> 2016-12-12 10:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143077583 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143077906 The technique for separation and isolation between the Indian individuals is utilized seriously. The untouchables are normally picked in light of the fact that they have acquired a particular occupation that is identified with matter, which supports the possibility of separating individuals. Notwithstanding the social structure, there is a psychological barrier that is made by the general public that infers the possibility of isolation between the Indian individuals. It can be social structure because the groups are not treated fairly. Religion divided them, this is why there is inequality.]]> 2016-12-12 10:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143077906 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143078179 Religion is one of the main factors in Indian culture. They have many types of religions, such as: Hinduism, Islam and christianity. Around eighty four percent of the population are hindu, thirteen percent of the population are muslims. Also, culture plays a huge role in the way that India's culture is created because of there clothing. Religion is why people are not treated equally. There are social structures dividing the different classes of the people.]]> 2016-12-12 11:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143078179 mohamed16013 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143078198 Religon plays a big role in India, that is what the Caste system is based on. I also view it as social structure since in Egypt its similar the only difference is here in Egypt it is based on money, if you have money you have more power.

I believe that religion plays a big part of the caste culture because Hinduism classes people in 4 different classes which dates back centuries ago. It separates priests from warriors, nobles from business owners, and servants which are considered as the lower class. The second factor that plays a part in the Indian cast culture is power distance index. The "untouchables" are considered as lesser people in Indian society and are not given equal powers as other Indians. ]]> 2016-12-12 11:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143078398 msayed199723 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143078641 Religion and History play a crucial part in the Indian caste culture. Indians are very religious people. The main religions present in India are Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity. The religions help in the development of a strong infrastructure of Indian culture.

The Indian history created a picture for Indians to follow, because it was written by the English, however due to religion, Indians tried to balance out the hierarchy and make it fair. ]]> 2016-12-12 11:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143079024 seifhazemdakroury10 https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143079107 Social structure is the most crucial Since , the population in India is divided and there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor . The discremination is probably due to the history of the culture and how they have treated the poor for a long time.]]> 2016-12-12 11:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143079107 jannahpotter https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143079706 Almost all the cultural determinants play a huge part in caste culture in India. For example the high PDI for example plays the biggest part as it places exactly 6 levels of society in which everyone must be sorted into there is no such things as a classless person. The only type of member of the indian society that might be considered classless would be an untouchable and even that person is placed in their place in the hierarchy and they can't get out of it. since the indian society is a very collectivist society too that also means that they are mostly grouped under one ideology and almost the entire society agrees that untouchables are well- untouchables. the higher classes remain where they are on the scale and so do the lower classes- including the so called classless untouchables. the Power distance ]]> 2016-12-12 11:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143079706 bodzillatv https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143080710 One of the big reasons on why India's culture is how it is, is because of the social hierarchy that hasn't been changed or evolved in the past 2000 years in India. Religion and their beliefs is a big factor when it comes to how they treat one another, for example the untouchables are basically cursed for the rest of their lives because the pyramid doesn't even recognize them as part of society, the people of India see them as a lesser form of their people. The caste hierarchy consists of priests, below them are kings & warriors, then businessmen, below them are servants, the untouchables are so neglected that they are not even in the pyramid, and because of their history and religious beliefs is the main reason for why they are placed so low on the pyramid.]]> 2016-12-12 11:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ichew/bbb4ma_culture5/wish/143080710
