12 Dimensions Critical Reflection


Part 1
D1:context formal and informal is for example wearing the right clothes that suits the place as we can't wear shorts for collage because that conceders informal.

D2:'expression" revel and conceal is showing your emotions and hiding them for example crying in front of people is revel your emotion.


D3:" destiny" directed and directive is making your own choices or letting your environment making you choose the next step in your life.

D4:"planning" time and people is choosing between one of them for example attending a meeting will you cancel it due to a reason with your friend or you will stick with time.

Part 2:
As for describing weather I agree or not for my questionnaire results. I did agree with some results and didn't with the other results, I learned how to put people in categories and how I act and react on some things I think that it was really useful to open our minds on how the world is going. I didn’t know but now I do. I can tell if people stick on time or follow people, I can tell everyone by what the 12 dimension showed me, and most importantly I know myself more now.

Part 3:

since I follow directive more not directed ill follow think is right or wrong if I feel that I have to change few things I'll do it but so far I'll stick to what I am because that is my personality and I know myself since the day I got born that I act and react on the same concept. I wouldn’t mind changing to directed but that depends on my environment if it didn’t change, as in if am still living in the UAE with the same culture nothing will change but for example if I moved outside my country for Sure I will have to Some changes.

Amish people have a limited choices and thay like to live in peace and in a simple way of living. However they thinking about things is so different than the rest people that what Make them different. They have a gun but they don't like to use it because they faith that how gave the life he is the only one have the right to take it. All Amish believe that large families are a blessing from God so they like to live together as a one group they don't like to live in individual .
Over all, I know that Amish people don't like to use cars but they use horses instead of cars even they don't have electricity in there home because they believed that it's useless and cause a problems.

Exercise 2

I personally learn towards honor and shame, reasons behind that is because we were born and raised with this culture around. I respect my family what people think about me will be effecting my family. I always want to bring honor to the ones who thought me everything and doing something bad will bring shame to them, and that is our biggest concerns. That's close to my second choice which is innocent and guilt but its individual, but i won't feel guilty more then I'll be scared to bring shame to my family. Last thing which is power and fear. I partner myself to the right people so I don't fear the people who are higher then me.
