302 Intercultural awareness by nadinee@gmx.net https://padlet.com/nadinee/at3pwg4fsli0urvm Please post your contributions here. en-us 2021-11-15 16:57:00 UTC 2026-01-19 13:04:03 UTC hello@padlet.com American stereotyping nadinee https://padlet.com/nadinee/at3pwg4fsli0urvm/wish/1891835823 Is it positive, negative, neutral? 
We never heard about these stereotypes. In our opinion the Stereotypes with the ketchup or Chewing gums are neutral. It’s positive that the Americans are very friendly and open-minded. 
 
What consequences could these types of stereotypes have in the classroom? 
We think these stereotypes don’t have an affect in the classroom. But it can help those American children to find friends in their free-time because the others know that they are open-minded. 
 
What is the effect it might have on someone who doesn't know this culture?
Probably they think that the eating habits are weird. But at the same time you can have a positive impression about the people there.

I think most of the things you discussed were very factual and realistic. But I think it is also important to remember that not all families are exactly like your host families. 

When i thought about England, the rain and the tea came also up to my mind. It's interessting how you have diffrent opinions about the tea stereotype (Alina).

Comment:
Tea and rain.. yes we totally agree with you. Also the beer. They drink beer so eary in the afternoon in their pubs. We also thought about the british people in holiday. They nearly never get a tan, they just get sunburnt. The british people are also very polite. They call everyone darling or honey.

I think some of the stereotypes you talked about are informed by how the media portraits China and how they present themselves to the greater world. I think that talking about them eating cats and dogs is rather negative but I also think that not that many people actually belive that. 

Comment from Livia, Larissa and Selina:
We think that you mentioned a lot of typical stereotypes. When we hear China we also think about the army and about the other interpretation of the human rights.

We don't really know that country and their stereotypes, so it was really knew to us. 
Those stereotypes are mostly neutral. 
One might think that those people should be very good in school, but you need to know that not everybody is good in school. The parents are in most times very strict, but not Jana's neighbours.
We think as a teacher it's very important to know those cultures/ stereotypes if you have pupils in your class. And it's also important to know the cultures when you visit those countries.

You discussed amazing stereotypes about the Walliser people. We fully agree with the mentioned points. We also thought about the apricots - they are also popular there :)
Well done! (Ladina, Corinne, Thomas & Julia)

We totally agree with the stereotype about the chinese food. In our eyes, the eat really special food, which we would never eat in Switzerland. Also we go along with the stereotype about their education system. They are really focused in reaching a high positon. ]]> 2021-11-22 08:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nadinee/at3pwg4fsli0urvm/wish/1905546023 Korean stereotypes https://padlet.com/nadinee/at3pwg4fsli0urvm/wish/1905548846 We not only talk about the stereotypes but also learn a little bit of Korean.

Nice points you've mentioned. We wouldn't know that much about Korean-Stereotypes. Who of you knows how to write in korean?

We agree with the tea stereotype. We have to say, that we both have never been in the UK, so therefore we can not say, if this stereotype is true. We also go along with the stereotype about the weather. As we said, we never have been there, so we can't really say anything about the truth. ]]> 2021-11-22 08:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nadinee/at3pwg4fsli0urvm/wish/1905551693 Comment to China https://padlet.com/nadinee/at3pwg4fsli0urvm/wish/1905554434 You mentioned lots of stereotypes, that could hurt the person or well the culture in general. It's something the media portays Asian and especially China's culture. 
 In the classroom that alslo means that the pupils can dislike someone for things like food or the asian household.

There is a part that is even correct. Like drinking lots of wine is mostly true because Wallis harvests a lot. 
 
it would be interesting to talk about the different cantons. Especially because some of them mind have already been there

Interesting. I wonder whether Swiss ideas about how Italians drive influence the way Swiss drive in Italy, causing this effect. (sorry, if that got a bit complicated!)

For a while, it was circulating in the internet that the Swiss ate dogs. There was a bit of an uproar about it, too. Food can definitely be a touchy subject- tthink ketchup on ice-cream! When I heard that, I actually felt quite insulted!

You listed some interesting steroetypes that We've also heard many of them befor. Especially the tea and weather stereotype seems to be true. Allthough when I (Johanna) was in Cambridge the weather was very nice most of the time, but I guess I just got lucky. One thing you didn't talk about is the precudice, that the British people are obsessed with the Royal Family.]]> 2021-11-25 08:49:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nadinee/at3pwg4fsli0urvm/wish/1912192510 Comment Wallis https://padlet.com/nadinee/at3pwg4fsli0urvm/wish/1912196890 We think you two listed very good and also kinda funny stereotypes about the Walliser people. I think many of the stereotypes that you talked about are true. Although people who dont live in the Wallis often exagerate a little bit  about the stereotypes.
