1.INTRODUCTION 1.1Background:
For Making safe spaces cultural capability is very important necessity for making safe spaces . According to Queensland Government(2015) “Cultural capability refers to the skills, knowledge, behaviours and systems that are required to plan, support, improve and deliver services in a culturally respectful and appropriate manner”. In any environmental setting, if people behave in a positive ways then everyone feel that place is safe space. In educational setting, ”In classroom climate that allows students to feel secure enough to take risks, honestly express their views, and share and explore their knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours”(Holley & Stainer.2005)

It is a British television broadcast on BBC which was directed by Bob Spiers and written by John Cleese and Connie Booth, who also starred in the show. This chosen video clip is from the season- 2, episode- 1 and is titled as ‘communication problems’. In this video clip, a hotel where we can see a lot of guests are walking up and down coming in and going out and staff are looking busy. In this episode 5 main characters can be seen, the manager Sybil, the receptionist, Polly who often is the calmer and helpful attitude, and waiter, Manuel (Andrew Sachs),who can hardly speak English and two guests, gentle man and lady(Mrs. Richards). There are a number of strong, conflicting verbal interactions between Polly and Mrs Richards ,a guest who was a short-sighted, deaf, and aggressive. This results frustration on Polly because of an inappropriate manner by Mrs …show more content…
It involves behavior, knowledge and experience.According to Quappe & Cantatore (2005) cultural self-awareness is defined as, “…the foundation of communication and it involves the ability of standing back from ourselves and becoming aware of our cultural values, beliefs and perceptions”. In the early part of episode Polly was attending guests in that busy environment by herself and also promised Sybil that she will do and also handled Mrs Richards.” This shapes the manner we approach and manage issues to our own approach What's more may be the to start with level about cultural self-awareness” (Quappe &Cantatore,2005). When Polly was attending the gentleman, a new guest, another lady guest, Mrs Richards interrupted Polly and was asking for some changes to pay for taxi. Some behaviour for one culture is tolerable is intolerable for another culture (Quappe and Cantore,2005).So Mrs Richards might think that it is normal manner which did not seem appropriate to Polly. Mrs Richards was telling to Manuel about what should need to be done for reservation of room. Manuel was telling about CK forty which made hard to Mrs Richards to understand and complaining about her to Polly. So misinterpretation does happens when people unknown of their own attitude and do blame others.(Quappe and Cantatore, 2005) because Mrs. Richards got hearing problems too but blaming to Manual that he was not
Firstly, I will analyse, reflect on the communication skills used by Vicky a White British, female, aged 31, who was a support worker in the children’s home. Vicky’s objective was to take Lucy out in her car to the shopping mall to buy her some clothes, further Vicky’s aim was to help Lucy feel relaxed and get her mind off the situation. Furthermore, Lucy was interviewed by Jackie, who was African carribiena female aged 46 and was a social worker, the interview took place at a children’s care home.
Cultural intelligence is the capability that could give insights on how to cope with multi-cultural situations and how to engage properly in intercultural interactions. It is the individual’s ability to interact effectively in culturally diverse situations (Brislin, Worthley & Macnab, 2006). We could consider the cultural intelligence as constantly improving concept; something we can develop over time and it is not only changes through experience, but also through knowledge as well, which includes communication with other
Becoming aware of a culture supersedes the individual emotions you may experience in trying to understand how a group of people have become, through their own experience, different from the identity that you have attained from your own culture. “Cultural awareness is one being aware of their personal attitudes, beliefs, biases, and behaviors that may influence the type of care they are able to render in an environment.” (Mopraize)
The job of a teacher is never easy but we have seen how cooperative discipline and enabling students to feel capable, connected and contributing can improve classroom management and maybe even our own moods. If we create an environment of mutual respect and give our students legitimate power of voice and choice in the classroom we will see positive results in improved student behavior and student achievement. Because when our students believe that they can succeed, they will.
society. Polly is visiting a rich friend whose life is determined by fads and fashions. The society she is introduced to cares more about being popular than being good. The basis of the conflict is that Polly’s conscience rebels against the immoral entertainment offered to her, but she finds it hard to resist temptation. Throughout the story her friends, her enemies, and her acquaintances do not understand that fashion and fads do not determine morality. The conflict is developing before Polly even understands this fact herself. The day she arrives, Polly is informed of several things that she should not do by Fanny, so the girls at the stylish school Fanny attends do not think Polly is countrified. The next day, she visits the theater and finds immorality in the spectators and immodesty in the actors. This starts Polly thinking about morality, immorality, and how conforming to society in everything can generate worse results than
Safe spaces; the well intentioned concept of a location where beliefs may be spoken without negative consequences or repercussions. However, if the age old adage of “the road to hell is paved with good intentions” rings true, then safe spaces are detrimental to society. Throughout recent history, It has been exemplified how safe spaces are a detriment and this specifically evidenced through three key elements; safe spaces set unrealistic standards for the real world, safe spaces lead to the propagation and furthering of fascism, and safe spaces may lead to a bio political regime. Now despite all of the proposed benefits of safe spaces, one fact still remains blatantly clear to this day; safe space set unrealistic standards for how adult life
By creating a safe environment, students will feel more comfortable participating, collaborating, and communicating. This type of environment encourages learning and provides a more productive atmosphere for students. This safe and pleasant environment allows
For many students such as myself school is a place where we can discuss our opinions about relevant issues. Many people believe discussing controversial topics in a classroom setting can be both beneficial and harmful to students. Some people argue having those discussions in a classroom will help the students better prepare for real world situations where they will have to defend their beliefs. Other people would argue that student having discussions like that would make students feel uncomfortable and attacked. I believe having those discussions in a classroom setting can be extremely beneficial; students will be able to learn how to properly argue for and against certain topics. A classroom setting like this will also provide student with
This kind of well balanced cultural awareness help to develop the essential cultural intelligence skills that allows an individual to transfer social skills from one culture to another culture and also allows for better cross cultural respect, recognition and adaptation. In my case, my knowledge and experience of my own cultural values and the awareness of Australian culture has been very helpful to recognise and integrate the important cultural aspects of both culture. ‘Cultural intelligence is to be distinguished from other type of interactive intelligence such as emotional intelligence and social intelligence’(Brislin, Worthley and Macnab, 2006, p. 47). However it is easily argued that emotional and social intelligence could not be differentiated from cultural intelligence.
Her initial outspoken nature depicts an effortless ability for self-expression. This ease at voicing opinions is lacking within the character of Lucy Honeychurch from the outset of A Room with a View.
Cultural awareness is the recognition and awareness of the variables in one’s personality and way of life that may be influenced by their culture. Another way of putting this is the identification of their cultural identity (Fong, Catagnus, Brodhead, Quigley & Field, 2016). Culture can influence decisions, verbal behavior, behavioral patterns, education and many other aspects depending on the culture. In professional engineering, the identification of the various cultural identities is crucial to the success of many projects. For example, whilst working with Indigenous Australians, it is important for an engineer to understand that they are very spiritual people that live off the land.
Students learn more when they have a desire to learn, relaxed, active involvement, are challenged and, in an exciting environment. The next factor is the class setting where teachers, students, materials, textbooks, technologies, and social structures are all related. Focusing on the students’ confidence, independence, knowledge, understanding skills and strategies, emerging with prior experience and, critical reflection. These must be met individually but with an outdoor classroom, most can be addresses in one
Clarissa Dalloway is content with her life with Richard, is content to give her party on a beautiful June evening, but she does regret at times that she can’t “have her life over again” (10). Clarissa’s memories of Bourton, of her youth, are brought back to her vividly by just the “squeak of the hinges. . . [and] she had burst open the French windows and plunged at Bourton into the open air” (3). The very intensity of these memories are what make them so much a part of what she is– everything in life reminds her of Bourton, of Sally Seton, of Peter Walsh. Peter and Sally were her best friends as a girl, and “with the two of them. . . she s...
Cultural sensitivity occurs when people recognize and are aware that each country or various ethnic groups of people have their own set of experiences, beliefs, values, and language that affect their perceptions toward life. Addressing Cultural sensitivity permits people to comprehend that there are differences between cultures. Furthermore, having awareness in the differences between cultures permits a culturally competent person to communicate effectively with others that are outside of one’s realm. Some of the differences of Cultural sensitivity can be discovered while traveling outside of the country, such as through Cross-cultural sensitivity experiences. Likewise, a culture has its own norms and beliefs to how one should dress; how one should greet others, such as by referring to a significant individual by his or her first name or surname (comprehending which name should be stated first in foreign names); and/or what foods are permitted to eat or forbidden to eat or understanding what may offend a person (e.g. not accepting a home cooked meal). There are norms, taboos, cultural cues, and cultural etiquette standards that are significant to learning about one’s culture before exploring another country or while working with people who are from your country but who are part of another racial group. It takes time and patience to build a high level of Cultural sensitivity. Educating oneself with a culture’s psychology and its norms is significant toward achieving an increasing awareness toward Cultural sensitivity.
