Racism(reflaction 3)

Racism is spread in the world in different shapes from a long time, for myself I had felt that feeling and lived it. scenes I was a kid I have traveled so much in Ireland and the US because of my father studying, my father was very strict in his religion he had a kind of a large beard which is a something most American heat he sometimes had trouble in the university because of it his teacher he heated him because of his beard and sometimes he told my father that you want enter the class until you shave it but my father ignored him .before three years there was a meeting for Boston university in Dubai and I went with my father and he so the same teacher and I so how he respected my father now that’s because my father didn’t change because teacher wanted but he kept the same as he is and I think the doctor knew not to judge people the way they look. another experiment was when I was in Boston me and my father used to go to the masjid and sometimes my father used to where a kandora and one day we were walking to the masjid and there were people calling my father names but I saw my father  just not paying attention to them and when we were heading back home I asked my father why didn’t you do anything about them he told me that god says in the holy Quran “and when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply back with mild words of gentleness”. this is my experiment in racism in general and now I know why we should treat all people the same.

Culture and Personality in Anthropology

Read the section about Culture and Personality in Anthropology. Answer these questions about that section:-

1.       Define “Anthropology” in your own words.  The study of humankind, in particular.

2.       Define “movement” in this context. An act of changing physical location or position or of having this changed.

3.       What do you understand by “socialization of children” Give an example

4.       Read this sentence again and give examples of childrearing in different societies and cultures: “socialization creates personality patterns. It helps shape people’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, cultural values and norms to fit into and function as productive members in the surrounding human society. The study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.”

5.       Read this sentence again and say to what extent you agree: “all humans are the same when born, but childrearing in different societies causes deviations in behavior and personalities from each other.”

6.       Reflect on the reading above. Can you see a link between your culture and your personality? Think about that in relation to your own culture first, and then think about personality and culture in a different society. Reflect. Give examples.
