Everyone has different theories of what intelligence is. These theories can vary from one culture to another. There has been numerous researches on the effect of culture on human intelligence. These researchers believed that culture plays a sufficient role in learning to understand intelligence. What does culture mean to you? Culture can mean a varied of things, but in this context it is the way of life of a group of people, in which can include food, social interaction (organization) language, education, religion, ways of raising children etc. According to John Ogbu, “Culture consists of four main concepts. These concepts are customary behaviors, code, artifacts and institution. Customary behaviors focus just on the group of people such how…

Cultural relativism can be defined as the understanding that the choices one can consider morally right are those approved of by one’s culture. Cultural differences in moral beliefs don’t imply cultural relativism because nonmoral beliefs can alter the perspective of basic moral principles shared by the culture. This would imply that there are no universally set/correct moral standards. Saying that cultural differences in moral beliefs imply cultural relativism is only part of an argument, not a conclusion supported by valid premises. There is the possibility that the moral issue in question is, in fact, an objective truth, in which case the culture is purely wrong. If cultural relativism exists, and no culture can ever be wrong in their moral…
When I was a child I remember a lot about where I lived and was raised, and where I came from. You can have negative or positive influences in your environment as part of your culture and development. They do however play an important role in the development and lives of infants and toddlers. Different cultural factors can have a lifetime effect on infants and toddlers development. Culture is the beliefs, customs, arts and such of a particular society, group, place, or time. (Merriam-Webster. 2014) It can also be made of social behaviors along with non-traditional customs. A child is raised to carry on the beliefs of their culture and their parents. For example, if a parent is a social butterfly and very involved, then that child will grow being social. The more stimulating the child’s environment is the more they will learn. I have a picture from my childhood that is, in my opinion, a perfect poem (Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D. 1972):…

In the article “Seeing and Making Culture” by Bell Hooks, Bell argues that society has a wrong outlook of the poor community. Her goal is to try and change everyone’s image of these people. She successfully supports her claim by using authority (ethos) and values (pathos) to explain her claim and why she feels so strongly about this situation. According to the census,…
After studying Stan Rummel’s “Greco/Roman Cultural Matrix Overview and Values” sections, our class chose to use the virtue of pietas of the Roman Cultural Matrix to construct a personal reflection paper. I also use the primary source from course website: “Cicero on Duty” in the essay. Pietas is defined that it is “performance of responsibilities to one’s parents, ancestors, relatives, along with deities and the state.” (Stan Rummel hand out)…
Within the healthcare, clinicians very often have to encounter patients from different backgrounds, culture and ethnicities. Consequently, at times, this brings challenges and or barriers to both the patient and the health care members, which can lead to poor or negative outcomes. Over the past few years, culture sensitivity has been the focus of multiple research studies and one of the main goals to improve the quality of care.…
According to the National Collegiate Honors Council and honors program provides opportunities for measurably broader, deeper, and more complex learning-centered and learner-directed experiences for its students than are available elsewhere in the institution; these opportunities are appropriately tailored to fit the institution’s culture and mission and frequently occur within a close community of students and faculty. The Honors Program at Johnson County Community College (JCCC) was started in the 1980’s to establish a role of academic leadership for the college. The Honors Program consists of three main areas, which include Honors Program run by Anna Page (the students enroll…
I agree with your statement regarding the importance of cultural humility in terms of serving patients. The constant reflection of medical providers on their interactions with patients of different cultural backgrounds will not only benefit the patient served, but will also enhance the social development of those providing services. The preparedness of those in your major to effectively demonstrate cultural humility is of high regard. Some educational institutes should follow your major’s emphasis on cultural awareness and humility when teaching pre-professional health students. In most cases, I think that students gain lessons on and are taught cultural humility outside of their primary places of education. It would be interesting…
Cultural self awareness is essential to human existence. It is not easy for us to understand other’s culture if we ourselves are not aware of our own. It is also important when we interact with other people from other culture. Every one of us has a different culture which can be based by our own daily experiences and also depends on how the society shaped us on how to behave and act appropriately. This essay states that culture, knowledge, experience and behaviour are associated within me and the relationship between them simultaneously influenced my development as a human being. This essay explains the essence of culture, knowledge, experience and behaviour and how they are related with each other.…
The concept of modesty dates back to the early Victorian times when women would wear dresses that started with covering the neck, extending all the way down to the ground. The arms would also be covered with long sleeves. But as the fashion world has grown and changed modesty is not as important as it used to be to everyone. Believing that the body is a temple and respecting it by dressing modestly is still relevant and important to some. People of the Islamic, Mormon, Orthodox Jewish and Amish religions show modesty in their everyday life by the choice in clothing.…
The adoption of corporate social networks is something that could be beneficial, but is not the easiest thing to incorporate into your business. There are several factors that would slow, if not completely stop, the adoption of internal corporate social networks. One of these factors is the acceptance of the work force where the system is being implemented. Many of the people that work for the company may not be even willing to integrate this new system.…
