The Queen's Garden
I felt award playing a role of a submissive man in the country X. however, it was not hard for me to play such role as it illustrated somewhat my personality. I was sure giving those Americans hard time to figuring out how to get the permission for the Queen’s garden. It was because of not making eyes contact since Americans evaluated the content of a conversation through people’s eyes. Further, my limit of English words hindered further my communication. From my perspective, a better approach was to ask about the country X’s culture and how people interact with one another. Then, it would be best to ask what the role of men and women in the society, for it’s different between community. From there, we’d use feasible approach for both side without causing any uncomfortable feelings between parties.

This was a interesting simulation. I was the native people and the tourist did not pick up on any of the signs we were giving for them to understand our culture. They kept on making the same mistakes over and over again. It was interesting that the males stayed home while the females went to work.Also the female had 2 husband. Do not think I would be to comfortable sharing my wife. Would all three sleep in the same bed?
ReplyDeleteI think that just goes back to the whole polygamy/polygyny thing. But I HAVE enjoyed that each of our simulations brings an entirely new aspect of cultural differences but still allows us to work on the same issues.
