Week 6: Oher Ways Of Seeing

Week 6 saw the first of our tutorial presentations. Interpretations of the focus questions in relation to different readings resulted in really varying presentations and 'Ways of seeing'. From the presentations I gained most insight into culturally different ways of seeing life and people, for example, culturally appropriate & inappropriate mannerisms and the way these can be confusing for someone who is not familiar with a culture or religion. Being predominately within my own culture most of the time it's a difficulty I previously would not have considered in everyday life, how exchange students are expected to know all the traits Australians live by and melt into them.
