Without a good understanding of culture, the educator can develop inappropriate stereotypes about other cultures. Stereotypes are attitudes and beliefs about other people based on their race, culture, or some other characteristic, and they are often inaccurate (Hilton & von Hippel, 1996). In some cases, these stereotypes and other ways of typecasting people can be harmful because it makes entire groups of people appear unequal (Ewen & Ewen, 2006). There are, however, ways in which educators can let go of these kinds of biases and stereotypes and handle their jobs better by avoiding preconceived notions of their students. For me, the preconceived ideas I hold are mostly about race and culture. These are a product of the way I was raised. I try not to allow them to get in the way of being open to people, but sometimes I find myself...
When people have preconceived ideas about the quality or ability of another person, they might not be as encouraging to that person as they should be (Ewen & Ewen, 2006). As an educator, I want to make sure I am treating all students equally and encouraging them all equally, as opposed to assuming that a particular student cannot do something (or do it as well or as quickly) because of the culture they come from or the race they belong to.

It is important to recognize the many different areas within adult education, and what type of students these areas attract. Ultimately, for the adult education department to be successful, it must attract a wide variety of students, and keep at least some of those students coming back to continue their education in order to be successful.

Indeed the Germans, the French, and the rest looked back to an antiquity in which their ancestors had been subjugated by the legions. Nothing is more remarkable therefore than the rapid and irrevocable penetration of Italian ideas and practices among the "barbarians," as the Italian writers referred to them, some of whom were currently invading the peninsula." (Wiener, 124) it's also important to note that influence of antique classicism
It needs to be well understood because just like knowledge, ingorance cannot be talked about without basing on some individual or group. It should therfore be negotiated soically because it is socially constructed. Ignorance is treated indiscriminately and unitary whereby terms like uncertainity, ambiguity and vagueness are considered synonymous by most writing on disaster.Turner together with several other writers in the fields of disasters and hazards refer to about
Cultural Analysis Activity 1 - Discuss the two societal cultures that you will use to develop your GLOBE Paper. Why these two? I will discuss the Germanic and Latin European Cultures. Each of these divergent cultural paradigms has had a strong effect upon globalism in the 21st century based on hundreds of years of influence in Europe and the New World as far back as the 1600s, and perhaps before.
