Teaching Culture in ...

Analyze the importance of themes of culture according to the following situations.

1. Give a copy of the Facts, Attitudes, Behaviors handout to the learner
2. Ask them create a model connecting Facts, Attitudes and Behaviors in another culture or country.
3. Discuss this model and how it compares with your own understanding of your culture.

• The objective of this activity is not to stereotype others or attach inflexible labels to individuals from the culture in question. Rather, the purpose is for learners to reflect on the fact that shared cultural values, attitudes and behaviors do not develop in a vacuum, but instead are closely related to the environment in which cultures exist.
