   Extractions: Bert Hamminga Identifying culture groups version date 990923 Goto: Questions People differ. That's a hard one for economics theories and teachers of economics. The type of thing you can write, say, and believe and teach are general things: Consumers are.... A business is.... If everything differs completely from everything else, teaching is impossible. There's nothing to do but to start a long march along all these different things to study them all, give them a name and save them by individual name in your files. Fortunately, in discussing differences , people usually feel they succeed in agreeing on a common language to talk about them. When the different things are very "similar", in most respects, like different pieces on a chess board, there will be little trouble. But when you compare things that seem "totally different", like cultures, severe conceptual (language, communication) problems are bound to occur. That is why studying culture differences is the typical business of "philosophical" minds. As people know who had contacts with other cultures, as soon as you talk about something more abstract than food and housing, it is very difficult to understand what others try to explain about themselves, and to make yourself clear to the others. You desperately look for "common words", but every time you want to say something, you realize the other person may well not understand. This course is about culture differences , and how culture differences lead to differences in attitude towards all those things relevant to business: work, leisure, saving, investment, making a contracts or agreements, such as paying, delivering, lending, borrowing.

   Extractions: Culture, Communication and Language Now that your "cultural eye" has been sharpened, let us look at how culture influences students' language skills and their learning of standard English, the language of education. The concept of communicative competence (Hymes, 1962), based on one's knowledge of the rules of language structure and language use within a given culture, will be useful. A major responsibility of teachers at all grade levels is to teach the language and communication skills needed for academic success, and for career and social mobility. Many students come from cultures which use different, though valid, communication and language systems from what is considered "normal" in the classroom. The study of sociolinguistics can help us understand different systems as a means of improving the quality of our instruction in language and the communication arts. Sociolinguistics Sociolinguists examine social and cultural influences on language behavior. Among the most important concepts to emerge are those relating to dialects and language standards.

Native Languages of the Americas: Cherokee (Tsalagi) Language: Cherokeemore properly spelled Tsalagiis an Iroquoian language with an innovative written syllabary invented by a Cherokee scholar. Tsalagi is spoken by about 22,000 people, primarily in Oklahoma and North Carolina. Though it is one of the healthier Indian languages of North America and the one in which the most literature being published, Tsalagi is still in imperiled condition because of government policies as late as the fifties which enforced the removal of Cherokee children from Tsalagi-speaking homes, reducing the number of young Cherokees being raised bilingually from 75% to less than 5% today. People: 'Cherokee' is Creek for 'people with another language'. (It's really amazing how white settlers always managed to learn some other tribe's name for any group of Indians. They learned the Creek word for Cherokee, but not the Creek word for themselves.) Anyway, our original name for ourselves was Aniyunwiya, but Cherokee is fine too (though we say it Tsalagithere's no R in our language). There are about 350,000 Cherokee people today, primarily in Oklahoma and North Carolina. History: The best-known episode in Cherokee history was also the worst the Trail of Tears, the forced relocation of the Cherokee people from their ancestral home in the southeast to Oklahoma. The Cherokee had been one of the most acculturated of Indian societiesan urban, Christian, agricultural, largely intermarried people who supported the United States against other tribes. In the end this was all for nothing. Though some prominent Americans, such as Davy Crockett and Daniel Webster, spoke against Removal, and though the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional, President Andrew Jackson, declaring "Justice Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it," sent in the army.
