The Self In Culture

1) Initial Response: How do you define your Self-Concept and Self-Awareness within your culture? Are you 'Ethnocentric'? What is your emotional response to outside cultures? 
In the United States, I think it is becoming more important for young women to become confident in self-awareness and concept. It is also important to be courteous of other people. I am aware of my actions, thoughts, and words in regards to other individuals. I would not define myself as ethnocentric. I don't view my culture as superior, and I definitely don't believe that my way of living is the only right way to live. Outside cultures fascinate me! I want to visit them all just to understand them better. 

        
2) Follow-up Feedback: Encouragement is am important part of discussion enhancement. Why did you choose to encourage the response of your chosen classmate? What is it about their response that made you choose them for your follow-up?
I found that Michaela also did this assignment, so I found her response to the above question. It was interesting to learn that she is very set in her religious ways, because I am not. I enjoyed reading that she is also very interested in other cultures, and she described it perfectly-it is all about curiosity!
