The diversity of identities between cultures

In the previous lesson (in the 31st Octuber 2014), we had talk about seven themes that some of them are different between cultures, some are not. The diferences between gender identitiy, the first topic to be analysed, are some, in every country. We have Men, Women and in some cases a person who is men and women at the same time, called “afroditas”. The first dominates the second although through times the dominance became smaller. Women have gained some equality but not enough to stand the position of men in the society. The second topic was the sexual identity. The heterossexual is considered “normal” worldwide and the homossexual, the bissexual and the transgener are not equaly seen as the first, being sometimes discriminated by those who are “normal”. Another topic was the Age. There are the young ones, the adults and the seniors. For some countries like Czech Republic or Latvia the old people are respected, threaten the way that they deserve. But we get into a conclusion that the age hierarchy in Portugal its a little bit different. The adults are in the highest point in our imagine pyramid and below we have the children and the seniors, being the last, sometimes victim of abuse and despised. Racial and Ethnical identities were also a theme to discuss. There are the caucasian people, the black people, asian people, and the east folk associated to the gypcies. In general, everyone agreed that the gipsians are in the last stand, and this happens beacause, being a nomad folk, the relationships between the native locals are few. In the portuguese case, as well as western countries,  people are mainly  caucasian and black. The religious point is also an important one. In Portugal and Spain the main religion is the Catholicism or Christianism., and in Brasil we have also the Evangelist. Christianism domains and the Judaism, the Protestant, the Hinduism, and Budism follows next. The crisis of society standard was the last point to be seen. It is divided in every country by three steps: poor people, media class people and rich ones. But in Portugal now there are only two steps: the poor and the rich.

Every culture, this one influenced by the past,  covers every diversity that exists in a determinated  country. Some things are equal such as the gender identity or the Racial/Ethnical identity and some are not such as the religious identity and the class identity. Diversity is the part of change and we need to accept it.
