2.How do you define your local cultural is different from foreign culture? Do youthink local and foreign cultures need to be integrated? Please provide your reasons

3.What is stereotype and prejuice? Does it exist in your local culture? Give example?

 

ANSWER:

1. Culture is very diverse, namely in terms of local culture and foreign culture. So, in my opinion, understanding foreign cultures to avoid conflict is that we must know the cultures that are applied to foreign cultures in terms of communication and behavior. Intercultural communication teaches us how to communicate with people who have different cultures from us. The reason is by studying intercultural communication, we can more easily adapt, expand relationships, add insight into other cultures and also avoid conflicts between cultures.

2. The definition of local culture with foreign culture is in terms of customs, language, religion, and of course very different. because culture is complex, abstract, and broad. In my opinion, foreign cultures do not need to be integrated because they can influence or diminish the culture of our ancestors. Therefore, we maintain our culture because in the eyes of the world, our local culture is known as a nation that upholds excellent customs.

3. Stereotypes are excessive generalizations about a person based on the characteristics that exist in their group such as race, ethnicity, or religion. Meanwhile, prejudice is a negative attitude, belief, feeling, and judgment towards a group and all members of the group. In the local culture of course there is. because between stereotypes and prejudice that exist in each person depending on their attitude. In terms of the example, there is a stereotype that Unilak students (Lancang Kuning University) are smart people, so when they meet a Unilak student, people think they tend to immediately assume that the Unilak student is a smart person. In fact, the Unilak student was not necessarily as smart as he had imagined. Stereotypes are not always negative. However, stereotypes will always be negative if they are influenced by prejudice. Therefore, stereotypes, prejudice, must be shunned from our hearts and minds. Stereotypes, prejudice are not only errors in thinking, but also the main trigger in divisions between groups.
