Vice-Chancellor of Gujarat University Neerja Gupta exposes cultural misconceptions and contests the idea that the namaz is the only thing that started the violence against international students. She stresses the value of introducing international students with regional traditions. Five pupils were hurt in the purported attack on them during namaz, and two of them were admitted to the hospital. Gujarat Police have made multiple arrests and lodged a formal complaint (FIR) against twenty-five unidentified persons. The opposition parties have criticized the state's law and order in response to the occurrence, which has drawn global censure. In addition, the Ministry of External Affairs has stepped in and promised tough punishment for the offenders. The episode highlights how important it is for educational institutions to be sensitive to cultural differences and integrate varied groups effectively in order to avoid conflicts like this. . . . . . #ViceChancellor #gujaratuniversity #neerjagupta #culturalmisconceptions #namaz #foreignstudent #attacked #ramadankareem #ahmedabad #news #monknews
Human sacrifice has no place in the vast majority of African traditions; it is a heinous act committed by those who are misinformed. Those in Africa who engage in such barbaric practices often lack education and may exploit the imagery associated with the Illuminati to deceive and extract money from gullible individuals, wrongfully claiming affiliation with the esteemed Illuminati groups. In my previous post, I clarified that the genuine Illuminati organization is dedicated to the enlightenment of the mind, encouraging the cultivation of superconsciousness and enhanced perception that can be achieved through disciplined sleep patterns — specifically, an uninterrupted eight hours each night. This quality rest is not only restorative but can lead to prophetic dreams that empower us to improve various aspects of our lives, including our economic stability. The spirituality and heightened awareness that come from opening the third eye align with the true principles of the Illuminati, devoid of any connection to human sacrifice. It is crucial to understand that a disciplined sleep regimen leading to eight hours of sleep can illuminate an individual with this superconsciousness. This enlightenment is the essence of being Illuminati, not the heinous acts some wrongfully associate with it. I also declared the fact that reading the entire Bible, all the 66 books, not less than 6 times could transform our mind and body the same as Jesus Christ. To all, may you have a peaceful and blessed night. Embrace the power of rest and let it guide you to a life of insight and prosperity. God bless you all. Amen. #IlluminatiEnlightenment #ThirdEyeAwakening #Superconsciousness #HealthySleep #PropheticDreams #SpiritualGrowth #InnerPower #WisdomThroughRest #NoToHumanSacrifice #God #AfricanTraditions #JesusChrist #CulturalMisconceptions #TruthSeekers #BlessedSleep #ManageWealthWisely #GodsPlan #PeacefulNights #GodBless #Amen

Today's my birthday and here's my cake to you, Enjoy! - "Ekaete gimme left, right and center. Omo the girl sabi d tin well well" says Sabinus the Vulcanizer. "You nor know say Calabar girls na de real woman wey God wan give persin for this life" affirms Wasiu the Mechanic. "And to get dem, very very easy, one biscuit, kai, dem don open leg" Musa states. Really? Oga Musa! you no tell me say na there you see wife. That she's great a bed doesn't make her lose. What's even the assumption that all Calabar Girls are great in bed. No, I am not insulting them but wait, what if there are some who are trying to meet up to the task. Don't go and tension somebody's daughter just because of a misconception you have, abeg! Don't create notions that would affect someone's marriage tomorrow. She's not lose neither is she a lioness. She is who she is, let her be. Stop labelling people with narratives that are not true and a fiction of what you heard, biko. e hear? #tribalisticnotions #tribalmisconceptions #tribe #culturalmisconceptions #culture #nawetinwehear #writersofinstagram
"gurr gurr, splat!" The spittle falls off her mouth like downpour of rain. "iyama" is what comes to your mind and then you boldly say inwardly "Yoruba people are dirty, kai". Really? how many have you met? 2, 3, 4 or 1? How does Iya Bayo the hair dresser's hygiene habits become that of an entire tribe? come on now! You are judging one Yoruba man cleaning his urine infested hands on his trousers, a habit of over a thousand people. Calm down Haunty! This is just an opinion that has been passed down to you and you've experienced a few times. However, do you know that there are tens of thousands of Yorubas who are meticously clean like my roommate who has to sweep the room 3 times in 20 minutes to avoid any form of sand or dirt. Huncle Iybo or calabar stop generalizing. Yoruba people are not dirty, PEOPLE CAN BE DIRTY! DIRT IS NOT PECULIAR TO JUST ONE TRIBE. Mingle with cleaner people, e hear 🙉!"

II "If her name is Eseosa or Osawese or something too long that you can't pronounce then she's a witch.." Ehnn.. Pele o, witch hunter. So, you saw the coven where they hold meetings? Is it Ring Road or new Benin Market or Ovia South East community Hall? What is it now?? where do we get all these narratives. I know that they are sometimes used to crack jokes and catch cruise but do you know people actually have these mindset about the Benin people? I have lived in Benin for the most part of 4 years and mehn, I haven't met or seen a single witch (or maybe I am not looking hard enough, according to the witch hunters 😂😂). Yes, maybe witches exist but not just in Edo State or fixated to "BINI GIRLS". The devil's agents love the whole world. Scriptures say he moves to and fro, So 'waka about' go come stay for only EDO?? come now! Let's change these narratives. Don't allude labels to people that aren't theirs! People have lost business opportunities, job offerings and even admissons because of wrong labels and generalizations. Let's change the narrative! 📷: EPP Photography #nawetinwehear #culturalmisconceptions #culture #stopthelabels #writersofinstagram #explorepage
When I moved to Kosova 7 years ago my head was full of all sorts of things I’d been “taught” about the country and people. After about 2 months I decided that I should forget everything I’d learned and start again by getting to know the people and culture for myself. That’s my advice for anyone considering living in another culture… forget the books and advice from other people and just immerse yourself in it fully, the results will be better. #expatlife #crossculturalcommunication #crosscturalmarriage #culture #language #culturalmisconceptions #hangoutwiththelocals #hangwiththelocals #immerseyourself #kosova #kosovo
Cultural misconceptions can lead to communication fails when interacting with people from other countries, but they can be easily overcome with the correct team by your side. — Las ideas erróneas que puedan tenerse sobre la cultura de otros países con los que tengamos relación pueden llevar a fallas en la comunicación, pero estas pueden resolverse teniendo al equipo correcto de personas a tu lado. — Si l’on a des idées fausses sur la culture des pays avec lesquels on interagit, ça pourrait devenir en problèmes de communication avec eux. Heureusement, on peux tout résoudre en travaillant avec l’équipe correct des personnes. #5demayo #culturalmisconceptions #communicationfails #comunicaciónexperta #consejosdecomunicación

Teachers/Parents, the goal is to be more accessible & approachable to your students/kids. Don’t be proud that they’re ‘scared’ of you! Nothing good comes out of it. Fear is forced whereas respect is earned. The cultural misconception that if children fear you, respect will come naturally is absolute nonsense. #knowthedifference #respectvsfear #respect #fear #culturalmisconceptions #misconceptions #teaching #parenting #parentingtips #teacher #teachersofinstagram #inspire #lovenotfear #fearisntrespect #youearnrespect #respectyourkids #teachersandparents #beapproachable #educators #educatorlife #educator #students #teacherstudentrelationship #teacherstudent #parentingblogger #goodparenting @classful.official @bored_teachers @teachforindia @teachable @teacherskind @tchr2tchr
Ultra-Independence is a trauma response as quoted by @RisingWoman How does our culture reward having ‘no needs?’ Why is the person who professes their worth rather than prove it through actions trusted to be in leadership? And how does this play into gender roles in the workplace? Women given leadership roles that were traditionally given to men now are allowed an incredibly small range of expression so they are perceived as ‘stable’ and ‘strong.’ This video explores cultural and interpersonal dynamics in the roles of the ultra independent and ‘the rescuer’(a generalizing label used for the sole purpose of illuminating a pattern of behavior in this video). Independence as a trauma response is often not addressed because it is reinforced by societal misconceptions of strength and vulnerability. It also short circuits healthy boundaries and a healthy cycle of mutually empowering giving and receiving. . . . . #independence #interpersonal relationships #selflove #culturalmisconceptions #confidence #vulnerability #having needs #responsibility #womensupportingwomen #humanity #curiousity #questioneverything #alwayslearning #traumahealing #traumaresponse #selfsoothe

Pic: @dr.nadiasadiq A misconception in many cultures/religions sees them labelling a lot of mental illnesses as spiritual issues such as Jinn, black magic eye, curses, evil eye etc. This is harmful to sufferers because it means that they’re illnesses are not treated properly and instead they are sent to religious/cultural figures to be ‘cured’ which can actually end up having the wrong effect and make things worse. A lot of this is to do with the lack of Mental Health education in these communities and the fact that Mental Health itself is such a taboo topic, especially with the older generation. Raising MH awareness is important for all of us because almost everyone knows someone who suffers from bad MH. Personally, I think it’s the responsibility of those educated to teach those that aren’t. Posting about it, talking about it, writing about it, anything that raises awareness we should do! #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthineducation #taboo #jinn #blackmagic #evileye #culturalmisconceptions #religion #raiseawareness #mentalhealth #depression #ocd #trauma #substanceabuse #bpd #anxiety #ed #recovery #therapy #counseling #southasianmentalhealth #blackmentalhealth #muslimmentalhealth
A German girl with a Russian name met her Chinese-Indian husband in Dubai after living in Manchester, England, The Hague, The Netherlands, and Zurich, Switzerland. Is that multicultural enough for you? 😅 Along the way, Tatjana of @craving_expat_life has encountered her fair share of cultural stereotypes and misconceptions, both about her home country of Germany and about the country she's living in. From learning how to respond to uncomfortable comments about Hitler to informing people that India does have running water, Tatjana's expat life and career in tourism has given her a crash course in how to handle these situations, and we're lucky enough that she is now sharing her perspective and experiences with us.

Clock starts now. Signs are turned, lights are on, doors are unlocked. Westerners are used to perceiving time as money. But that isn't true for every culture and their individuals. "Individuals operating on clock time are careful to be punctual and expect the same of others. Those on event time are more spontaneous in beginning and ending events and, as a result, tend to be less punctual and more understanding when others are less punctual". --- 📞(919)228-9982 📧[email protected] --- #BilingualConnections #waiting #CulturalBroker #Time #CulturalMisconceptions #punctuality #Skills #SoftSkills #AccesibleLanguages #ForeignLanguageFirm #ForeignLanguageClasses #Interpretation #Translation #ProfessionalDevelopment #WomanOwned #FamilyOperated #CommunityLanguageServices #CorporationLanguageServices #MinorityOwnedBusiness --- "Our mission is to help people use language to enhance their careers and improve their quality of life".

“Healthy is an outfit that looks different on everybody”. Just a reminder today to step away from our cultures misconception that healthy means external beauty. A certain size. A certain shape. A certain skin tone. The list goes on and on. Maybe you’re in a season where your health is not where you desire, and despite your efforts it seems bent on staying that way. Remember that there is a loving, kind, gracious God who holds you in his hands. Give your troubles to him, for his burden is light. One day we’re going to turn these sin-ridden bodies in for eternal glory! I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to that day!!! ☺️✨
Pete Allison and Katie Kubis have just returned from participating in the @outwardboundoman Connecting Cultures Course. Pete led activities and moderated discussions. Some of the topics included #values, #leadership , #culturalmisconceptions -- #stereotypes , #extremism , and what we can do to make an #impact on the world. 19 young female representatives participated in the course representing 16 different countries. It was an incredible experience learning from the other girls about their cultures and beliefs. "I have never been surrounded by so many young women dedicated to making the world a better and more accepting place. Truly an unforgettable and inspirational experience." - Katie Kubis
: When I was a kid I was told being “gifted”, “bright”, “genius”, etc. was a great and valued boon. As I grew up, however, I quickly learned that that’s tend to usually feel so only if you do what they want, don’t ask the wrong questions, and they find you more useful than irritating. Life may have been different if I’d a clinical Asperger’s/Autism diagnosis when I was a child, but alas, I was just an overtalkative, distracted, overly energetic kid that asked too many damn questions and didn’t seem to notice he was pissing off several adults and other kids. I didn’t center in particular topics but went after everything: various sciences, music, theatre, athletics, other arts and humanities. Jack of all trades, master of none to most folks means unsuccessful at any. I just dug and still dig learning for its own sake. Not all geniuses are pop culture rock stars, wealthy inventors, and Nobel Laureates. Some of us are just the everyday variety. #actuallyautistic #culturalmisconceptions

“A nuanced comprehension of world history is a necessary intellectual tool for anyone who desires to be an effective member of society in the twenty-first century. Without it, one is doomed to a life of ignorant insularity. Seven Myths of Africa in World History is but the most recent example of David’s work to bring to students, teachers, and the general public alike his valuable insights into the history that we share as members of the human community.” - Al Andrea. . .
