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.

''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:

Culture

My Understanding of culture is the belifs of a community and how the share and do the belifs.

My understanding of Doukhobors culture now is that they belive in they religens and they love being together and sharing.

How is learning about another culture valuable: Its valuable becasue some people think the only their religens are important, but when you get to know another culture it gets you thinking about other, how they act and what their religen is.

Thanks for reading my post :) hope u like it !.

To me...
    Culture is different ways of life for different groups of people and each individual group of people have their own way to do stuff and have different beliefs.

    Doukhobors are very peacful people and have many beliefs that they cherish.

    Learning about another culture helps you learn about yourself because if you both enjoy something they might now something  about it that you dont know about it and mabey later on you could use that info. Learning can also help you grow.

My Final Reflection

To me culture is about differences, beliefs, diet, history, music, art, inventions and location.

At the moment my understanding of the doukhobors is almost the same as before but a bit more expanded because I didn't know that some doukhobor children were forced to go to school. I already knew about their woodworking, beliefs,  food, bread salt & water and sewing.

Some connections of mine are the fact that I am of doukhobor ancestory, that my дедушка ( grandpa) does alot of woodworking and that my бабушка ( grandma) cooks alot of doukhobor food.

That they wanted a nice peacful life to not go to war and to not get forced to go anywhere and to not have to risk their life.

• They all had their own way to live.

Families are really nice and have the same needs my family is doukhobor and we are all same some in some diffrent way.

Final Reflection

                                           WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT CULTURE NOW?

Culture means to me now is that, family, friendship and coming

together as one. In a culture people look out for eachother, share

their beliefs as one,and grow friendships. Also I think being who you are in a culture and not pretending who others are.

What is your Understanding of Doukhobors now?

My experience was interesting, and also sort of sad. Being taken away from

their parents and not knowing if they were alive or how they were. Also I learnt

that Douhobors were good at sharing stories and songs, also they were good at cooking and they would all have dinner in a hall and socialize.

What Connections Can You Make Between Your Culture and Your Family Culture?

Scottish people are good at sharing stories and songs and the Scots also enjoy sharing their beliefs and food.

Thank You!

final reflection

WHAT I THINK CULTURE IS!

Culture is beliefs all kinds of beliefs. I also think culture is where people share ideas and when they will have a different life. Culture will be a good thing in our lives if you belive that it is a good thing. Culture is where people share all kinds of beliefs. Beliefs is what makes you yourself.

WHAT IS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF A DOUKHOBOR!

My understanding of doukhobors is that they are the same people as us, but they get treated more meanly. They should get treated the same as us. I dont think we would like it if we got treated meanly and they got treated all nice with respect, we would not like it so why would we treat them like that.

WHAT ARE SOME CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CULTURE AND DOUKHOBORS!

Culture is all kinds of belifes, and doukhobors are people who belive in belifes. Doukhobors love to share all kinds of belifes. Doukhobors belive so they stay with it and they will share what they can with each other.
