This week in Sociology we talked about different cultures and how they are unique from what we are used to. You could tell in class whenever Mr. Salituro provided an example from each culture, every student's reaction was like, "What?! That's so weird". Well, this is normal because we just aren't used to doing that because that's not the way we view it. One example in class was when we saw what the toilets looked like in Japan. Everyone asked, "How are you supposed to use that thing?" and Mr. Salituro replied it in a baseball catcher's position. I think everyone can agree that it looked really awkward assuming the American way of going to the bathroom. This week we also read a story about time perception in different countries compared to America. In Brazil, people view time as if it's not a real thing. In Brazil, being late is usual and nobody is ever early. I view it this way, in Brazil being late is being on time no matter the time. In America, we view time as something very important to our country because we run everything based off time unlike some countries. Put it this way, if I Brazil, I wouldn't survive because I find myself always on time and I dislike it very much when people are late when I have to rely on them. You wouldn't be able to do that in Brazil. All in all, this week we learned about Culture Shock, Cultural Relativity, and Ethnocentrism.
