5/21/19; Week 5: Response to "Cultural Differences Concerning TIME".

How can we interact in our classroom with polychronic and monochronic people? definitely being broad-minded and seeing beyond. accepting our cultural differences. As teachers we must be attentive to cultural differences, we must investigate and inform ourselves so that we can be respectful and considerate of our students.

In recent times I have learned a lot about myself and my perception of other people, and as I say it is a work in progress, every day I evolve, correct and return. I very much agree with the video about monochronic and polychronic times, certainly Latinos are like that, however, I think we must learn from our differences to achieve a symbiosis, a union. Being in contact with people from some parts of the world, I can understand and above all respect the way of thinking and being of different people. I think that to read, to be informed about the culture or the different cultures that we have around us, could lead us to avoid misunderstandings and to open our understanding to certain situations, that in our culture would be. I've learned that in certain parts of the world, if you're invited to a dinner party, it's rude to show up with something to drink, for example. Or for example in Japan, it is rude to serve yourself the drink, you should wait to have it served. If we look beyond our differences, we could harmonize and be "mopolicronic" countries.
