A person of personality can formulate ideals, but only a person of character can achieve them.
To try and explain culture lets use a metaphor. Let’s use Google Map and a Mind map.The Google map geographic one represents the internal maps people have of their cultural landscape, knowing that "the map is NOT the territory" that reality is always vastly more complex than our mental representation of it.
The other is a mind-map, which depicts the network of associative links in our minds knowledge triggered by a single word, for example, or the feelings and meanings we associate with a particular behaviour. These associations are partly personal, partly collective. Culture in this metaphor is the map of a group's shared meanings and connections.
General question that I would like all of us to consider, as people of varying cultures and ethnicities, how are we different and how are we alike?
How do culture and ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, disability, background and environment, shapes our identities and personalities on equality issues?
Race or Ethnicity.
Question for you:
- What the differences between these?
- How are we using Social capital?
- What is going on with Social mobility?
What do you think?
