07/06/2018 Jessica Hernandez Never thought and connect culture by psychology, around my life, psychology subtly affect.     In Mexico, when a baby born, the family give a gift, red bracelet (with a little eye). The culture said that the red bracelet brings some kind of protection for the baby, in spite of the people don´t bring evil eyes to the baby. I don´t believe in this culture-psychology,  but many babies carry the bracelet., the thing that I believe is as a mother, parents we wish the best for our children.   I identify one culture and psychology similar to Us - Mexico - Italian and maybe others countries, is the racism think that one is better than other is pride´s racism. By the next video, Doll test (2), you can watch how children have the psychology as part of their life although not is the real. Not all know to identify those abilities.    In Mexico are native people, but many times the n...

05/06/2018 Jessica Hernandez   In Mexico, some manners are to express gratitude or bad feelings, rudeness, but I focus on gratitude manners. For example, if you are driving and through your trip, you desire to give the step for other driver or people walking, you move your hand side by side, like the next video, and duck your head and give thanks or say thank you with your hand. Then I was drivin in Provo, Utah wity my sister, and a gentleman gives me a step, so I as a gratitude person I did my manners, but he got angry. It that moment I did not why then my sister told me that my manners do not work in that city. So, I learned that each place has their culture-manners. Another example,   In China,Taiwan,   and much of the Far East, belching is considered a compliment to the chef and a sign that you have eaten well and enjoyed your meal. You ca not do it in Mexico, looks rude and is embarrasing.   Now, about in the classro...

05/06/2018 Jessica Hernandez All the world is full of cultures.     Each country has own culture and there is enrichment. As a future teacher in TESOL, I know that in the classroom I will have different students with their own culture, their culture will be their identity.     I really do not know if cross-culture would affect the relationship between students-partners-teacher, but something that I learned in this week is that even ones have own culture, I can learn from their student's cultures.     Even in my country, taking the same tongue mother and share the same traditions, exist cross-culture, for example, my family and me were living in Xalapa, Veracruz and we moved to Cancun, Quintana Roo. The same tradition is to wear a uniform in the high school, but the difference was wearing the uniform because, in Xalapa, girls wear a skirt and men pants but in Cancun all the students wear short. If you wear ...

In my country, we have a proverb: people we see, hearts we can´t see. Recall this words, teach me that has a connection with attribution. Depending on which part we are, in or outside the situation, attribution exist. One day a get late to the gathering, my clothes were wet, so I wasn´t available but I decided to go and take my class. My partners were looking rare, and it was embarrassing. When the class finish, one partner asked me what happened to me, and told her that when I was driven, my son poured water on me because he was trying to open his battle. Then she sa...

31/05/2018 Jessica Hernandez      Through this week, we are leaning  Individualism and collectivism; some countries are more collectivism, for example, Mexico. I desire to discuss this topic with a different idea or way; in my life, I have been living in individualism and collectivism.just like a baby born, through the life learned to be self-reliance, the baby crawls, walks, and then runs, growing step by step. Depending completing from his/her parents, but at the same, the things that learned is converting an individual person.  All my child and my young life I depend on my parents and family, but when I was 18 years, for the society I´m an adult, and the responsibilities came as an adult. The society demands me a being more responsible in a home, in school and in job; and many things I should do it alone, being an individualism person but at the same a collectivism person when I coexist with my family. This picture show in yellow are countries...

29/05/2018 Jessica Hernandez    In Wikipedia Emotional expressions "are those expressions in people while talking observably verbal and nonverbal behaviors are that communicate an internal emotional or affective state"(1). In other words, for me means people while talking use with them verbal and non-verbal words, feelings and body movement.    Is interesting how the humans communicated according to their culture. Even in the country are a different expression and means the same but in others words, for example, in the North of Mexico, Monterrey the people say ¡este niño se chifla! translate: this boy is whistle! in the center of Mexico, Puebla say ¡este niño se emberricho! translate: this boy is tantrum! and the real meaning is the boy or the child throws a tantrum because is angry for something that he wants.     Brother Ivers said, "Emotional expressivity is one of the things that are more easily ...
