Response to the Three Stages of Cultural 'Defiance'

I am irritated and it is more important than anything. Unfortunately, this is the culture of the Third World countries. In the Dominican Republic, we thought of two such examples. The Dominican Republic is on Hispaniola Island. This island is shared with Haiti. As a result, you will find many Haitian people there. Most Haitians are very poor, and you often see they start begging with their children on the street. Usually, when they get close to my car, I even turn my head and I do not see them.

Through time, through culture, the most important thing for people is land. Although the connection between the world's industrial society and the land is weakening, colonial countries continue to exert pressure to separate indigenous peoples from their land but still exist in indigenous culture. This connection is the core of what we call biological diversity. There are various violent ways in the history of land theft, but as Bernard Nietschmann points out, colonization usually begins by drawing land. The political boundaries established by colonial forces often do not reflect the natural or cultural boundaries in the true sense without the consent of indigenous peoples. They are imaginary lines superimposed on the land by people who have little knowledge about the land.

In the 2007 paper "Cultural Significance of Silence in Japanese Communication", Taki Sugiyama Lebra revealed the four aspects of silence: truth, social discretion, embarrassment, and contempt. The first three dimensions help maintain a positive relationship, but the last dimension has a negative meaning. Students are asked to close their smartphone and leave others. This article reflects the experience including the historical point of view. What is the sense of silence? What if I can not access my smartphone continuously? How is our lifestyle different from pre-modern lifestyle?

Racism centrality: An easy way to imagine the three stages of ethnocentrism is the attitude towards cultural differences. People in a negative stage deny the existence of cultural differences and minimize those who are in the stage of defense and then the differences decrease. . Rejection: People of the rejection phase do not recognize cultural differences. They are completely ethnic-centered as they believe in the correct ethnic attitudes (they), and those with different behavior do not know much better. At this stage, people tend to believe that they are "right" and others think that they are "confused," implying the value system to other people. Because they refuse to accept it, they are not threatened by cultural differences. Generally, people who are subject to cultural denial do not believe in the empirical grounds of other cultures, as they do not have wide contact with people different from their own.
