When you venture out into the world, you will come into contact with people of various origins and lifestyles. Culture is frequently referred to as the guiding principles that shape people's behavior. Culture is a broad term that encompasses beliefs, values, customs, and behaviors and can be viewed as our "way of being." ]]> 2022-11-11 08:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379924209 zjromaraog https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379927198 2022-11-11 08:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379927198 feblopez https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379928974 Always make an effort to be sensitive to cultural differences while avoiding potentially offending references in your messages or discussions unless you are positively confident of your audience/s' reaction.]]> 2022-11-11 08:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379928974 zjromaraog https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379931251 If you find yourself dining with Ethiopians, you might be in for a surprise.

This helps people with different cultural backgrounds to relate well. Cultural sensitivity helps a person understand how the receiver may interpret their words. Hence, one can know how to communicate effectively and avoid words that can cause misunderstanding.]]> 2022-11-11 08:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379933308 zjromaraog https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379942545 ZEIREEN JADEE ROMARAOG:
I was playing a multiplayer video game, and it was on a Tokyo (Japan) server. I was a bit surprised because the Japanese people immediately greeted one another with "Onegaishimasu" as soon as the match started. They were so polite, and it shows that they wanted to play just for fun, even though the game we were on was competitive. On the other hand, when I play on our local servers, I usually get either toxic or quiet players. I might be playing on the Tokyo server again, and I don't mind getting a low ping if I'd get to play with those kinds of people again.]]> 2022-11-11 09:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379942545 feblopez https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379942676 Cultural sensitivity is the observation of similarities and differences among people's cultures without putting a positive or negative spin on them. Understanding how differences and similarities in people affect their behaviors, beliefs, and values is necessary for cultural sensitivity. This makes it possible for someone to modify their conduct such that it is on par with those from a different culture.]]> 2022-11-11 09:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379942676 zjromaraog https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379953391 The Japanese slurp their noodles rather than using a fork or spoon to eat them. Obviously, eating noodles in this manner generates more noise. They make slurping noises while eating noodles is a sign of enjoyment in Japan. Some people believe that slurping noodles improves their flavor.]]> 2022-11-11 09:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379953391 feblopez https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379954388 FERNAN ERICK LOPEZ:
My cousin is half-Italian and she has been living in Italy for most of her life. However, in these past few years (until now), she has been staying here in the Philippines. I noticed whenever she was talking to her mother, they tend to really express their emotions (e.g., speaking louder when they are angry) even in public. As for we Filipinos, we somehow always try to prevent acquiring public attention whenever we are arguing with somebody. Compared to us, Italians frequently express their feelings honestly and speak emphatically to make their points. They frequently assume their conversation partner will be as honest, making it difficult for them to detect understatements.]]> 2022-11-11 09:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379954388 zjromaraog https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379959539 "Tara, kain!" or "Kain tayo!" means "Let's eat!" You will often hear this in the Philippines when they see you while they're eating. It can mean that you're significant to them. It is not only a common courtesy, but it also invites people to enjoy the moment.]]> 2022-11-11 09:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379959539 feblopez https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379967084 In India, a head wobble/bobble can have a variety of different meanings. Most frequently it means yes, or is used to indicate understanding. The meaning of the head wobble depends on the context of the conversation or encounter. When the head is tilted slightly from left to right in quick motion, this also means yes. When they slightly dip their head and duck their chin quickly about three or four times, it means they are showing their gratitude.]]> 2022-11-11 09:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2379967084 zjromaraog https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2380076263 2022-11-11 11:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2380076263 zjromaraog https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2380077300 2022-11-11 11:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2380077300 zjromaraog https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2380077618 2022-11-11 11:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2380077618 zjromaraog https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2380077801 2022-11-11 11:31:11 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2380077801 jnsagdeppa https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2380085742 JUAN NIÑO AGDEPPA:
I had the chance to experience cultural diversity when I was 14 years old. In summer, we came to my family's hometown on a small island called Bisucay. The people there are amicable and welcoming. They always ensure everyone is having a good time and gets along well. It is a peaceful place where everyone knows their neighbors and cares about each other. Their main religion is Roman Catholicism, but there are also many Muslims living there as well. I was studying at Seminario de San Jose at that time, and during that time, I learned to be more respectful towards others based on their culture, beliefs, and values.]]> 2022-11-11 11:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/feblopez/h0vr264g4wb5iht1/wish/2380085742
