Locate each aspect of school culture in the following clip:
Socialization
Our families and culture tell us 'how to be a certain way'.
How did your family teach you about the following?
GREETING SOMEONE NEW
EYE CONTACT
PERSONAL SPACE
CLEANLINESS
HOW TO HANDLE YOUR EMOTIONS
NORMS RELATED TO GENDER
As you can see, our families influence us greatly.
It's up to our discernment to decide which of those ways of being we agree with moving forward.
"Looking glass self"=
The idea that our identities are shaped in large part by how others see and respond to us.
We are always responding to something to create a sense of self--gender or race norms; media; family; language all frame us.
How were you seen as a child or teen? In what ways was that helpful and/or limiting to your development?
What would it mean to create who we wanted to be outside some of these constructions?
Personal reflection:
We are socialized to 'show up' in particular ways at school, in our families, and online. How does this show up in your own life? If you feel you are free of this, how do you see it playing out with people you know?
Are there any ways you feel you could share even more of your authentic self? For instance, sometimes posting photos of yourself that are less flattering, or more 'real.' What kind of model could you be to help others love and accept who they are?
If everyone were just a shade braver in being 'real', what impact do you think this would have on our culture?
Surface culture norms refer to things like food, dress, crafts, dance, literature, language, celebrations, games
Deep culture norms refer to unspoken and unconscious rules. (personal space, attitude toward elders, touching, etc.)
Is there a difference between your home culture and language and that at SCU?
If yes, what are the consequences of those differences on your lived experience?
If no, what societal "advantage" might that give you?
Conformity
