Final Reflection

November 17 2011

This is the final reflection for our Doukhobor unit, for which we were asked some questions. some of these questions were...

What does culture now  mean to you?

Culture: The beliefs, communication, diet and education of a group of people.

How would you now describe the Doukhobors?

Douhkobors are very peaceful people and don't believe in violence. They lead very communal lives and do believe in simplicity and that food draws everybody together.


How is learning about another culture learning about your culture?

Learning about another culture makes you think more about your culture, which enables you to make connections and and realize how similar or different your culture is to the one your learning about.

Final Reflections

''What Culture means to me is a groupe of people and what they bealeve in.''

''What I have learned about the doukabours is that they are a groupe of russians people that came to canada seeking shelter.''

''The only thing that I have learned about the doukabours is that they make good borsh.''

Final Reflection

My understanding of culture now...

A community of people who are all brought together by their similar beliefs and living styles, accepting one anothers differences, thoughts and habits, also while standing on your own.

My understanding of Doukhobors now....

A community that would stick together, and believed in simplicity, only needing what you truely need; air, water, food, shelter, love, ect.. The term, bread salt and water in the Doukhobor culture was placed on the table to represent suttleness, only needing your basics to live. The Doukhobor culture was without greed and with, eachother.

Connections I can make with Doukhobors and myself....

While doing this project I feel I've gained a lot more respect for the Doukhobor culture, going from knowing nothing on the topic to discovering we have similar spiritual beliefs, growing sympathy for there harsh times, while I also feel as if I've learned more on what kind of person to be. Peace was an extreme importance in Doukhobor culture, as it will remain to me.

Final Reflection

For a final reflection in our Doukhobor projects we got prompts to write something. My class got three prompts the first was:
What is culture mean to you and how could it bring a community together?
This is what I wrote:
Culture is a way of life for a group of people. How it would bring a community together is that since they all share something it brings them together.
Our second prompt was what we thought a Doukhobor was.
Here are my thoughts:
Doukhobor's are peaceful, happy, helping, spiritual and open minded people.
Our last prompt was one that I think I was the best at.
What we thought was valuable to learning about different cultures?
Here is what I thought:
Learning about different cultures makes me think of the values and things that are important to their culture. This causes me to think of what my values are and if i have any connections to that culture.
this was my final reflection. I enjoyed learning about the Doukhobors culture and I think you would to! this blog was written by:

final reflection

Culture means to me is what represents you, My understanding of Doukhobor culture is what you believe in, I learned what bread salt and water means to them.
