Cultural diversity and Cultural shock

Cultural diversity and Cultural shock

Variety of behavior found among the people within or far apart from the nation can be termed as cultural diversity. The way they live till the way they think varies, within the one from next culture. It can be seen within the community, where the people from around the world lives and the way of thinking varies from us. It is one of the great aspects of life too in which we can learn about other cultures and learn the way they see. It not only helps to learn but also helps in building the great relationship within them because we will start to know many more about them. It can be seen that the thing which are seen as good in one culture are resembled as bad in the next culture. Due to these people having variety of minds doing same work gives good results because they think in their way to accomplish and variety of ways can be chosen.

I want to start from my own country as I have seen cultural diversity many more in it. Having the land of about 147,181 km it consists of people of different cultural groups and ethnicity. Each of them follow their own and have their own aspects. Our country was termed as the garden consisting of various color flowers within it. In which various color flowers referred to the people of different culture and ethnic group living under the same roof. As I am Hindu, we have our own culture which does not match with next religions. Each one has their own saying and their own god. We put Tika in our religion whereas Christian culture doesn't. We have more than thousand god but in many culture they have only one god. In our culture anyone are allowed to go to the Temple. In Muslim community, girls are not permitted to go to the mosque and schools too. They think that it is sin and ask girls to cover their faces and body with Burkhas so that only her husband and the family members can see her face. It is the diversity too because it does not happen in our Hindu Community. In our culture people are asked to attend the education by going apart from their parents and homes but the case might not be the same in next culture. We put red tika in our forehead but the one following Buddhism put white tika in their ceremony whereas the one following Christianity does not put tika. Each one have their own believe and thinkings.The way we marry are not as the way they marry in the next culture. They have different beliefs that they need to follow during that and each one thinks that their one's are great than that of other.

If we see within the world then it can be seen clearly. The one following the same religion too does not have the same culture. Most of the part of the world are Christian and we can find the diversity within them too because the one from Europe feeling towards one thing does not match with the American as they have variety among them and tends to show that the community in which they are raised are right. If we observe in our class, we can find that the people of the Hispanic culture say how are you by kissing on the chicks whereas if we do so in ours culture, then it is regarded as the bad behavior because you are permitted to kiss the only your lovers. If we see in terms of Muslim culture then it varies within them because they too have Sunni culture following their own beliefs and traditions.

We can see cultural shock if we travel around the world. It varies according to the country and the people. People and its surrounding determines the quality of education in that country. When I was here I was shock to see the education style of this country. We never imagined in the dream that I would get such a chance to study in this kind of education system because it was different and effective than that of ours .We had the same system of education that had been running from the past 100 years in which only theoretical knowledge was considered as education. We were asked to give the final paper and the result was decided according to the grade obtain in the final paper. The value of attendance and group activities was not given any priority. One who was talented was only looked as the student and given priority and the one who felt hard to understand were considered as the student with least value and importance. The practical education here is very effective. The main thing that I like about here is that the grading is based upon the overall activities. Every student are seen equal and everyone are given priority. And it was the one of the cultural shock that I feel here.

So, Cultural diversity is one of the factor that can be seen everywhere but the difference is only that it has different forms. There are many forms in each diversity but we have to follow the best one which would benefit us as well as for the whole human creature not the blind believes which will harm the Universe. Doing so there is the possibility of survival as there was the theory “struggle for existence”. We need to adjust in any kind of environment and eat the things available there then only we can know properly about them and start to think in their way. So it would be easy to establish the great bond among them and us.
