Concluding Essay
1. Introduction
Culture is an essential element in the society because it explains human intellectual accomplishments.

According to my first essay, culture describes individuals' social habits, views, interests, and language.

However, the most interesting element of culture is that it makes people feel like they are different from

others although sometimes they can harmonize these differences to work as a team (Diehl et al. 28).

The key areas I chose to write about are cultural self-awareness and enculturation of Chinese culture.
2. Thing Number One
A) CULTURAL METACOGNITION (Module 6: Part 1: Cultural Self-Awareness, section subtitled

Metacognition). This concept enables people to understand their cultural background.

B) This concept largely discusses individuals' ability to think about their cultural values, habits,

assumptions and communications patterns. For example, in my first essay, I expressed the Chinese

cultural assumptions, values, and beliefs (Diehl et al. 28). To a larger extent, this conception assists

persons to learn how their cultural practices can relate to the traditions of others, and most importantly

influence the lives of these individuals' positively. For this reason, I used this approach to learning

about the American culture while at the same time teach my friends about the Chinese culture.
C) This concept significantly added value to my essay in the fact that it enabled me to

comprehend reasons why some cultural adaptations are difficult to embrace as opposed to others.

Accordingly, I was able to understand why people from different cultures hold particular views about

other individuals' lifestyle. In my first essay, I used this approach to explain difficulties that individuals'

experience when interacting with people from different cultures.

3. Thing Number Two

A) ENCULTURATION (Module 3: Part 1: "Definitions of Culture," section subtitled Summary of

Some Key Traits of Culture"). This approach explains why culture is a complicated term to understand

because it encompasses many things.

B) The concept of enculturation defines culture as a discipline that is learned through socialization, and

not a biological process. However, this conception also agrees that people wherewithal to have culture

is somehow biological because it is transmitted from one generation to the other (Maister et al. 16).

Notably, enculturation promotes values and experiences that empower individuals to adapt to different

cultures without many problems.

C) This concept significantly improved the quality of my first paper in many ways. Using this

concept, I was able to learn how to fit in the American culture. For example, I learned how people

behave when intermingling with individuals speaking a different language or worshipping in a specific

way. Enculturation supported me to understand the American culture where I learned what is right or

bad to avoid conflicts and splintering of friendships. In my first article, I was able to cognize my traits

and abilities to interact with different people.

4. Conclusion
The course majorly aimed at equipping learners with necessary skills that would enable them to live

with people from different cultural groups peacefully and positively. In this viewpoint, this course

played a critical role in my life since I successfully established healthy relationships with my American

folks (Maister et al. 16). The course materials consisted of many insights that made my learning easier

and interesting; thus, enabling me to attain my academic goals. Correspondingly, this course helped

individuals to learn new things that can make them lead a productive life in the future. Moreover,

persons can be able to appreciate and respect one another cultural beliefs and practices.
