W07 Blog: Cross-Cultural Students in the Classroom (06/02/ 2022)

 

Brother Ivers said, “And so, be aware. Whenever a student is from a different place or ethnic group or something does anything weird, you have to give them the benefit of the doubt. Even though you may be interpreting it negatively, it may not be meant negatively. There’s a principle that you need to understand when you go into teaching in the diverse country in which we live.”

Culture can be different but the respect must be the same. Sometimes the cultures are very different. Brother Ivers couldn’t be more accurate. Is important to give the benefit of the doubt in the cultures. As human beings we are competitive and we compare of culture, food and language with others and call our culture the best culture and denigrate the other cultures. We have to learn to respect others cultures and learn the most that we can from them
