Reflection

Create a reflection about the movie Outsourced using the PowerPoint I give you. Show that you really understand the above cultural concepts.

1. As soon as Todd arrives, he experiences the discomfort of being disoriented in a
strange new place. What happens at the airport?  He struggled trying to walk through the huge crowed at the airport, which was an abnormal scene for him. Then he got annoyed by all the taxi drivers around him, who were fighting over him

2. When a friendly traveler helps him get on the train, what does he tell him to do? He advised him to jump into the train


3. When he gets on the train, he cannot find an empty seat. How is this problem
solved for him? How might this be a cultural solution? The young kid offered him his seat and then sat in his lap, because of the high population in india people are used to such a solution such as sharing seats, standing and squeezing in the train cabins.

4. As any exchange student, he has a lot of experiences trying new food. His first
encounter is with an iced drink. What happens? He got stomach ache, and got sick because of the polluted water used in the iced drink.

5. First encounters with a culture can be shocking – Todd sees crowded streets with
cows, noise, and a man urinating in the street. But how does his host describe the
city? “Bombay is terrible, but here it’s very clean”

6. Even though the host Puro speaks English, Todd uses American slang a lot
without thinking. So as not to insult Puro, what does he say the meaning of
Schmuck is?  That means like a nice guy

7. Todd wants to check in to a hotel. But Puro insists he comes to a boarding house.
What is the reason he gives Todd? That he will feel lonely if he stays by himself in the hotel.

8. As soon as they meet, Aunti Ji starts asking very intimate questions that
Americans who have just met would never ask. What kind of things does she ask?
What does your father do, are you married, what’s your salary, do you have a girlfriend? Why did you break up?

9. During his first conversation with Aunti Ji he makes two big mistakes. What are
they? He ate with his left hand which considered not clean in india and he placed the same hand he ate with back in the food

10. The Golden Rule says do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That
means his Indian hosts and friends are trying to make him comfortable the way
they would be comfortable. How does this apply when the servant is preparing
tea for Todd? She poured the tea for him and even put sugar just the way they do.

I did a research about one muscling country. The result was japan. I found out that a high score (masculine) on this dimension indicates that the society will be driven by competition, achievement and success, with success being defined by the winner or best in field – a value system that starts in school and continues throughout organizational behavior.

 In the past few weeks I worked with group for filming a short movie about Emarati culture.

It is the first time for me to experience this. It was so exciting to talk in front of the camera and asking people about their culture.

Firstly, I was shocked in how would I do it and from where would I start because it was my first time to do a video.

Secondly, I started to ask my group and collecting the needed information, so we choose to ask our grandfathers and learn from their old experience.

Finally, when we started shooting our film and asking tourists about how they found our culture. Also, we learned about their culture. I enjoyed the conversation with the tourists and it was new experience for me. Now I am really happy for working with my group and live this experience.

1. Define “Anthropology” in your own words. Knowledge of humankind    

2. What do you understand by “socialization of children” Give an example How we raise our children in a good society, for example: take the child view to figure his behavior.                 

3.       Read this sentence again and give examples of childrearing in different societies and cultures: “socialization creates personality patterns the study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.”

Consider “sitting together” in different cultures;  

Some Emirati families do not sit with their kids, in most Western cultures, children have families that sit with them and chat many different subjects together.


4.       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.”
