Culture and Psychology

Culture and psychology are closely linked. We can see different varieties of cultures around the world, we can see their different ways of dressing, traditions, but something that we can not see but appreciate is their way of thinking, that is, their psychology.

I live in a place where their beliefs are varied, it depends on the place, there are ways to see a real man or a real woman. There are very peculiar things like they can not sell salt at night because it is bad luck. In short, everything depends on where you are.

I remember that from a young age my parents taught me to respect the earth, they always told me  "pachamama" that means mother earth would take care of me if I am respectful and do not hurt her. In fact our gods were the hills (Apus) and mother earth (pachamama) and we had little knowledge of our heavenly father. Well, that was my cultural psychology.

Today, I still have in my mind the psychology with which I have grown, maybe it was difficult for me to adapt to a new way of thinking, but I feel that I have developed my mind and my spirit in a good way.

We can not judge the psychology of different cultures, as well as the story told by brother Ivers of the iguanas. It is very special to have cultural experiences. And in a classroom TESOL should be motivated to discover different cultures and psychologies.
