Introduction to Cross-Cultural Psychology Alice F. Brown Psy 450 May 21, 2013 Shally Vaid Introduction to Cross-Cultural Psychology Culture is defined as a set of attitudes, behaviors, and symbols that are shared by a group of people and passed down from generation to generation (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). Cultural psychology is about finding links that are meaningful between a culture and how an individual thinks who lives in the same culture (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). How an individual internalizes his or her culture is the basis of cultural psychology. Cross-cultural psychology is the study of cultures in a comparative and critical method by psychologists. Cross-cultural psychologists are interested in the similarities and differences in all cultures.
He noticed the Net was having a much stronger influence over him than his PC ever had (324). Carr does not say if it is positive or negative that the Net was having such a strong influence on him. Like it or not, the Web has made such an impact on society that Carr concludes, “What’s clear though, is that for society as a whole the Net has become, in just twenty years since the software programmer Tim Berners- Lee wrote the code for the World Wide Web, the communication and information medium of choice… by choice or necessity, we’ve embraced the Net’s uniquely rapid-fire mode of collecting and dispensing information” (318). It does not matter if one uses the Web as a want or need, the Web has become the communication and information medium of choice. Carr discusses the disadvantages and advantages, but feels ambivalent and does not feel strongly for or against the Web.

Although the theories of Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, and Kohlberg are relatively abstract, we had to find ways to put them into practice in our teaching. I believe this unit also addressed the same TPEs as the second part of Unit one, going from theory to practice and synthesizing our knowledge about students in general to guide our specific teaching practices. The second part of this unit involved learning how socially developed ways of thinking about race can inform teaching. This learning was specifically related to TPE 11, “Social Environment,” in which teacher candidates must create a positive learning environment including fairness, respect, and caring. During Unit 3, the class explored students with exceptional needs, such as students with learning disabilities who have an IEP.
Remember, most myths have two functions: 1. Explain how something was created or why it is the way it is. 2. Teach us a life lesson (Have a theme). Think back to the myths we have read in class as an example of what a good myth does.
First, we would like present the accepted definition of sociology, and then relate it to our lives. Sociology, according to Henslin, is the scientific study of society and human behavior. With this definition of sociology, we can now relate it to our own lives. Many people, including ourselves have been brought up and raised with a certain set of values. This upbringing is called our culture.
