20.01.2022 5 Cultural Literacy Hacks helping you to understand others, fast! In developing your own cultural self-awareness, ask yourself these questions: -- What influenced your own cultural identity?... -- What values and beliefs do you hold and why? Understanding your own cultural wiring is the first step to understanding that others have different values and beliefs and believe in them as much as you believe in yours. Here’s how to be more culturally literate: 1.) Learn to appreciate and value diverse views. Quit deciding views that differ from yours are wrong. Instead, just accept that they are different and even try to understand other persons point of view. 2.) Avoid imposing your own values. Once you become aware of cultural differences, you may find that the cultural norms of some groups make you uncomfortable. When this happens it’s important to resist the urge to judge. Try making a conscious effort to understand the other persons perspective. 3.) Resist stereotyping. Avoid all stereotypes whether "negative" or "positive." Statements such as "blondes are dumb" or "Asians are good at math" will never be true of all individuals within that population. Plus, there will always be those outside of that cultural group who also fit that statement. Stereotypes are unreliable and untrue. 4.) Learn what you can. Reading about or talking to members of another culture -- or visiting a another cultures celebration is a great way to grow your knowledge, understanding and overall acceptance. 5.) Accept your own naïveté. Cultural literacy may mean you need to let yourself off the hook for your own mistakes and ignorance. Don't dwell on them. Instead, shake them off and decide to learn from them.

04.01.2022 Khaleed, is a teenager who was born in Algeria but moved to Australia when he was nine. He describes his experience of coming to Australia. When my parents told me we were moving to Australia, I didn’t really know what life had in store for me. ... I was a nine year old born in Algiers, the capital of Algeria, I enjoyed playing football, swimming and playing tennis. I had a few questions in my mind which school will I go to? What about friends? My tennis coach and my grandfather, who was and still is my mentor. I touched down in Australia in December 2012 with my folks and younger brother, Ahsad. The initial couple of days were loaded with new disclosures and difficulties. I didn't get the food I was used to, and my parents were bustling us around searching for a house, finding a school, and the rest. I missed Algiers big time in my first month of being here. However, I gradually began to see that Australia was a beautiful nation. My happiest moment came when my folks enlisted me into swimming and tennis classes I took off from where I left it back in Algeria. From that point on, life moved rapidly when school started, I saw that I was among other kids like me, from various nations India, China, England, Middle East all proudly calling themselves Australians. In a couple of months, my grandparents came to visit us, and they disclosed to me something I had not realised that I had gotten a peculiar sounding Aussie accent. I adore being in Australia. It’s given me new friends, some really nice sporting facilities and a very beautiful city to live in.
