Week 2 reflection


This week we studied the culture difference.  We separated into two groups to act the Alpha Culture and the Beta culture. In Alpha culture, we need to touch when we are Chatting . Shake hand is considered as insulting .Beside this, there exist a big hierarchy between male and female. The king is the most powerful in this Culture. Beta culture is very different. They more focus on the trading card. Most of the communication in Beta culture is due to the trading. Since their The culture is quite different, during the observation, they cannot understand what is going on at another culture. It is a very funny ways to learn the culture. From this simple activity, we know that cultural diversity causes enormous problems in communication. The rules and the ways to communicate will restrict the foreigner. We also get some similar experience after we come to US such as the language , the lifestyle. I hope we can explore more about the US culture during this semester.
