Some may begrudge a colleague for doing a task a certain way because they think it is wrong but in another culture it is considered acceptable . Our life experiences have most likely affected the way we think about people and we all have our own personal like and dislikes too .All this can have a significant effect on how we think of things. It is unlikely that we can
Ethnicity defines those individuals who share common cultural characteristics that set them apart to other social groups in a society. Their cultural behaviour is usually distinctively different to that of other social groups. One way in which peer groups may shape the formation of ethnic identity is by an individuals need to win the approval of peers. People want to ‘fit in’ and therefore in order to do this they conform to peer group pressure. If an individual wanted to join a Catholic group of people they might have to dress in a certain way or behave in a certain way, e.g wearing the cross and going to church, to win the approval of the group.
Culture can affect practice of anti-discrimination though there being miscommunication though different ideas of body language that's in a person's culture, for example there's different ways of saying hello in cultures. Culture can also cause discriminatory practice though language barriers, this may cause problems though their not being a translator, the doctors or social workers can be discriminatory in the way of not getting someone to communicate or though not asking the patient what they want for their treatment e.g. whether they need
So how can we avoid this behavior if and when we recognize it as such? First we need to identify all the components Prejudice is usually a negative incorrect unjustified attitude or prejudgment directed towards someone based on personal views of a particular social group or groups. Someone that’s prejudice towards others may not act according to their beliefs, but still may not discriminate against them. One line of logic that is used is to justify ones prejudice and stereotypes is to justify the system used; by using social inequalities, they legitimizing beliefs, attitudes and myths. By placing emphasizing a lower-status groups weakness, according to their weaknesses and flaws, they justify those that are in a higher status maintaining the status quo and in doing so allowing the higher status individual to feel secure in their position.
Catholicism: Its Meaning, Identity and Culture Fr.M.Peter Amaladoss, Arul Anandar College, Karumathur. Catholics are often seen to be just a little odd. They worship saints and statues; they have pictures of saints in the stained-glass windows of their often garish churches; they wear medals and carry rosaries that are superstitious charms; they obey a foreigner in Rome; they don’t think for themselves but do what their bishops and priests tell them to; they are clannish; they are morally lax, given to drinking and dancing; they think theirs is the only true church; there is so much superstition mixed into their beliefs and practices that sometimes they seem barely Christian, and so on and so forth. In the midst of such thoughts and opinions, there arise certain questions, and the following are some with which this essay deals: Why have this large international institution, the Catholic Church, in the first place? Why have popes and cardinals and Jesuits and Dominicans and Franciscans?
1.4 Describe how own values belief systems and experiences may affect working practice Own values, belies systems and experiences may affect working practice as you may follow your own beliefs which are different to others and could cause conflict you may have a different religion to a service user and things you may think are fine could be very offensive to them your experiences may make it difficult if you disagree with work policies and procedures provided. 2.1 Explain how people may react and respond to receiving constructive feedback People may react in different ways to constructive feedback, some people may take it on board and use it to improve better practice where as other may take offence and feel they are being
Sociology is useful because it gives us another way of understanding society and why people behave in which they behave. If it were not for sociology, we would have only psychology for understanding why people act the way that they do. We would not be able to notice that impoverished and lower class people act differently from people who are not poor. We would only be able to look at individual reasons for behavior; we would also not be able to understand the impact that various institutions have on society because we would not think about them. We would not be able to think about the impact of many people going to church, or of having a high divorce rate.
Going against the majority might lead to exclusion or rejection from the group. This is called normative social influence. Another type of social influence is informational social influence, it is based on our desire to be right. We conform because we don’t know what the correct way to behave is. In this situation, we look to others for information about how to behave.
If we judge and label someone by appearance, we probably can’t learn special characteristics about someone because we don’t know about their belief and personality in appearance. Some people just hide their emotion and seldom express themselves by a verbal communication. Therefore, the “Squiggling game” is a good form of communication to allow us to know someone without judgment more. 250 words Additional material: Gordon Allport Prejudice jeopardizes to learn special characteristics about someone. As a result, we should find different ways to reduce prejudice.
Lastly, Cultural Relativists often argue that it is mere arrogance for us to judge the conduct of other societies, and that we should adopt an attitude of tolerance toward the practices of other cultures. Although it may be a display of arrogance to judge the conduct of other societies, it is sometimes necessary to do so and convey disagreement when the situation arises. Given these revised interpretations of the 5 claims commonly made by Cultural Relativists, individuals and cultures ought to be guided by a revised philosophy known as Centralized Cultural Relativism, where societies may have different moral codes, but they all inherit certain properties from a parent code, which is influenced by factors including human biology, physiology, and what is necessary for a society to
