Week 07: Cross-Cultural Students

In any room there are always different cultures that come together. These cultures can be very similar or drastically different. These differences in the dynamic of a room can be because of differences in public expression. In a classroom there is a difference in respect for their teacher.

Different cultures have ways of expressing themselves. Asian cultures are more reserved when talking in class and out in public. When found in a classroom they may not comment as much compared to European cultures. You can also see the many Latino cultures are very expressive and will talk and comment on almost everything anywhere they are.

In the Asian culture there is a huge respect for their teachers. In your classroom you may see them not commenting as much or finding the behavior of other students disrespectful. They respect teachers highly enough to not even debate what they have said. In America there are many times were in the classroom you are reminded to raise your hand and follow the rules. There are also times where debating the teacher is appropriate and not seen as disrespectful.

Over all a classroom can be full of different persecutions on how students and teacher should react and due to differences in expression.
