In this unit, I learned about the four characteristics of culture. First, it’s passed from one generation to the next through the process of inculturation. Second, culture is shared, for examples, the most members of a given culture share many basic, beliefs and attitudes. Third, culture is symbolically expressed and transmitted. One of the most important symbolic systems that every one of us beings depends upon is language. Finally, culture is adaptive. I also learned about some of the important terms, I know what are culture shock, ethnocentrism, and cultural relativism. I learned the three type of iceberg model of culture, technical, formal and informal, I know the rules for each of them by given examples.
Before each class we had, we have to read on our own about the chapter we are going to talk about and learn in class, so first, I learn how to read textbook better, not just high lights the words I don’t know or the important text, I learned how to surmised one paragraph and write down the important things. In class, we did a lot of group discussion, this leads us on how we think and talk. From doing group discussion, I know a lot about different classmate’s idea about how they think about culture, because we are all from different culture. I think this is a great way to study, since everyone has different view. After the group discussion, I learned from the teacher and start to seek about each of the term related about myself, for examples, my own culture identity and the culture shock I had, by knowing and finding better on my cultural identity, the first project is the cultural identity poster, and this is the first time for me to use glogster, I learned a lot of different culture from my classmates and had a chance to know them better now.
When I was learning about culture shock, the four reactions, which are the honey moon, culture shock, adjustment and acceptance is exactly happening on me, this is a aha moment for me, I think about it and it is makes sense with unexpected clarity. I think my bumper sticker would be “I am on the way of finding my culture identity and knowing who am I”. I thing I learned how to use is glogster, this is a very great tool and useful tool for me, also is very easy to use.

My Unit Reflection
In this unit, I learned about the four characteristics of culture. First, it’s passed from one generation to the next through the process of inculturation.
