Cultural based questions for my college course

Phoenix AZ

Description

Hey there, I'm currently taking a cultural communications course, and this week we must interview someone from a different cultural background than our own, (per the instructor, a non-Western culture). I was hoping that someone would be willing to answer a few questions for me :) They are listed below. Thank you in advance, What do you identify as the most important or distinct practices of your culture? How are gender roles addressed in your culture? How is social power, authority, or social roles in a hierarchy expressed in your culture? In class, we learned that in “honor-oriented societies,” worth comes from one’s role or group membership and in “justice-oriented societies,” worth comes from what one does or doesn’t do. What is the role of honor/shame in your culture? Are honor/pride and dishonor/shame important concepts in your culture?
