Everything you always wanted to know about culture | Saba Safdar | TEDxGuelphU

Ойын-сауық

SABA F. SAFDAR is an Iranian-born Canadian-educated Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Guelph in Ontario. She moved to Canada in the 1980s after the Islamic revolution in Iran. She completed herundergraduate honours degree at McMaster University in Hamilton and her MA and PhD at York University in Toronto.
Professor Safdar is the Director of the Centre for Cross-Cultural Research at the University of Guelph where she and her students conduct research that lies broadly within the area of cross-cultural psychology. Her research primarily examines the wide range of factors that could help to understand adaptation processes of immigrants. She studies the influence of the psychological resilience of immigrants, of their beliefs and strategies, and of their ethnic and national identities on their adaptation in a new society. In addition to her research on immigration, she is interested in examining the academic, psychological, and social adaptation processes among international students. She currently studies the relation between the expression of identity and attitudes toward clothing (both ethnic and conventional fashion) among second generation immigrants in Canada.

    Another interpretation of the cartoon is that he is saying to the others "who wants to celebrate MY breakthrough" when in fact everyone has been a part of that team. So the joke is that he is being so damn individualistic he has overlooked the contribution of the people who he's speaking to.

    I've noticed that there is a cultural difference regarding humor. Between the east coast and west coast of America. I recently moved to the west coast and my humor is considered offensive or they can't interpret it. While on the east or Midwest I get a laugh out of an individual even close to tears of joy.

No wonder the spiritual healer who has transcended much of what is material would be reluctant carrying such a huge pizza! :) Anyway, your presentation sheds lights to my ongoing question about how a Canadian or American psychologist would avoid creating war in a migrant family when the psychologist's perception or interpretation of the migrant's cultural symbols yield incorrect responses in the consulting room....

    Interesting. How much of a part does governmental spending, specifically matching funds, and do such incentives work to change or support culture? Do the incentives stop at some point? I am reminded of farming and ranching subsidies, some of which are dependent on matching funding. As the main complaint with farmers or ranchers typically come from climatic setting and not weather (as the ag complaints closely resemble those of centuries or millennia past --- climate doesn't change and weather does), I suspect that governmental funding in this regard are in fact charities; many would or do claim otherwise. But those claims are old hat, too.

    I think an individual society could become collective where prejudice, stereotyping, national perception and orientalism is concerned. In other words. People from individual culture could insult someone not from their own if something goes wrong. For example not queuing properly at the supermarket, disintegrated from the host society, dressed differently, having an accent or even looking differently etc.... You know the rest.

    Like Saba Safdar, I also have an Associates degree. That means I know someone who has a degree. Ha hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . . No but seriously, humour is an art form. It is one of the word arts, like poetry, short story, rant, song lyrics, novel, etc. . I would like to know how someone could get a degree in her field and at the same time have no idea about what are the "word arts". That's a lot like a person who is 'tone deaf' getting a degree in music. . . Seriously.

    According to Canadian law, what is the rudest thing that one person can say to another person? . . Hint: There is a law against this type of utterance and you will be put in jail if you do speak this most rudest thing. . . Guess. . . Come on guess. . . Do you give up? . . Of course, I'm talking about uttering death threats. Our culture has decided that uttering death threats is so rude that it is the biggest word crime you can commit. . . That is official. . . . Now open a quran and see how many times the believer is commanded to kill, commit murder. . . That's not funny.

    Try the Bible, HINT: there are far more. I’ve read both many times... the Quran is not considered the word god in the way the Bible is... it’s the prophet Mohammed’s teachings over time- hence why there are so many sects of Islam. The Quran doesn’t offer threats of violence and actually consider alll killing out of of war an abomination and never te killing of children.

    I am not sure I am in just one category. I am a combination of them. Stereotyping people can be dangerous. We aren't a science experiment. We are people with various feelings, experiences, and interests. I see a possibility of abuse here. You are honorable, but dating sites want to make money. I am sure you mean well, but this might be about manipulating science. Certainly research more, but you admitted you could be wrong about some of it.
