- Misperception
- Definition of
cultural
Misperception:
not paying
attention to the
things that
aren’t
important to
me/us.
- What’s our
perception of the
world: we
discriminate our
people more than
people from other
countries
- Which are
our
perceptual
patterns:
stereotype
and judge
people
- How our perceptual
patterns could become a
barrier: because of what
we say on the last
question we are allowed
ourselves to go with the
flow with the stereotypes
without even getting to
know them
- Misinterpretation
- Examples of how
categorize: By polarizing
physical condition, our
aparience,
social-economic level,
skin color, religion,
discapacities, sexual
orientation and country
- Stereotypes: our own,
those that we make: "if he
wears glasses, he is a
nerd", "if he wears a suit,
he is an office worker", "if
she is wearing a short
skirt, she has a relaxed
moral"
- Uses of stereotypes
- Good: A job
interview,
going out with
your parents
in law.
- Bad: running
when you see a
cholo, when a
girl cuts her hair
as a man and
everybody
assumes she is a
lesbian.
- Self
awarness
- Who we are culturally:
it´s like we were a 50/50
country because half of
the country very very
inclusive and the other
half is very prejudiced
- Mexican Values:
nacionality, family
bonded, party
people, happy
- Characteristics we
associate with
mexicans:
mustaches, tacos,
hats, nopales
- How do we project
similarity: on time of crisis
it´s when we project
ourselves as a country, we
project that there is no you
or me, it´s just a big "we"
- Misevaluation
- What it´s
misevaluation:
judging something or
someone in a wrong way
- How do we misevaluate:
when we make prejudices
when we don´t have the
whole information about a
topic.
- Risks of misevaluation: getting into
a conflict with someone else, having
wrong information `cause you
don´t get involved correctly with
the other culture
- How do we avoid
misevaluation: by informing
ourselves about the diversity
and traditions of the cultures
and ethnic groups among us
