Culture - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Indian people often are very prideful to their country and the culture surrounding it, however, I feel that while many immigrants often feel prideful to their nation, many feel safer in the nation they immigrated to and often don't come back.
    - - Indian people are often seen as academically smart people, but that's generally due to the culture surrounding education, especially with many Indians being 1st generation immigrants who have lived through the struggles of poverty, and as a result want their children to have a better life than them.
    - - Indians are often considered "smelly" people due to the type of food we eat, and as a result, we often get discrrimminated upon due to th food we eat and the smell associated with that. I personally have not experienced any major discrimmination, but its important to note that it exists and it still happens today.
- - - - Very Hardworking As A Result Of Poor Socioeconomic Status
      - Academically Focused; "Art" Majors Often Are Frowned Upon Compared to Academic Fields
    - - Men>Women
      - While women are allowed to get jobs with little social outrage, men are often pushed into jobs more frequently than women
      - While sentiments about women being inferior to men are slowly decreasing over time, some men still believe that men are superior to women
    - - Christianity (although some are Hindus); Minority in India, only seen in Southern India for the most part
    - - Malayalam
        
        Spoken primarily in southern India, mainly in the state of Kerala
        
        Personally I don't speak it, but I at least undderstand it, and wish to learn how to speak it when I have more time to do so
      - English
        
        Most of the younger generation who were borh here spaek English, including me, and it is often used as the language of choice when talking to younger Indian people in the US
    - - High Expectations For Children
        
        Because Indian society focuses more on academics rather than artistic careers, children are expected to have high grades and do good in every subject.While there is some sympathy for students that aren't great in academics, students are expected to learn these topics and make sure to get good grades or they're frowned upon in society.
      - Arranged Marriages
        
        While it isn't as common in Indian society, especially in immigrant communities, arranged marriages still happen in India mainly due to tradition, parents wanting to control who their child will marry, or for a payout.
        
        In our line of descendents, arranged marriages were very common, and due to these marriages often being done by the parents, and because our family has been in India unitl our parents came to the US in 2003, all of our descendents are exclusively Indian, and as a result I am 100% Indian
      - Guilt Tripping Family Members
        
        Guilt tripping is very common in Indian culture, expecially with immigrant families. Indian parents often feel that because they have experiencedd more struggle than their children, that their children should do what they said because of all the hardship they had to go through in order to support their family.
      - Knowing All The Indians That Live Nearby You
        
        This is very common with many people of different ethnicities in America, but often Indians try to find other Indians in their community due to them wanting to feel "at home." I personally know a lot of people from my church, but I haven't been able to meet up with up with a lot of Indians outside of my church
      - Knowing all of your living family, including aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.
        
        Indians are very connected in terms of their family, and as a result, most Indian families have met most, if not all, of their living blood related family at least once
- - - - My friend groups have promoted a culture of wellness, whether physically or mentally, where we are able to talk about our struggles in society that we may not be able to talk about anywhere else
    - - My friend groups have llowed me to learn about other cultures, whether ehtic or otherwise, that in it of itself has become its own "meta culture" within these friend groups
  - - - Leadership
        
        JROTC has always focused on a hierarchy with upper classman with leadership capabilities being at the top, and lower classmen who might not be as experienced. I'd say about 70% of the organization is student run, which means that there is very little instruction coming from actual adults.
      - Academics
        
        While Academics isn't focused on nearly as much as leadership, there are plenty of acaddemic teams dedicated to winning competitions nationally.
      - Integrity
        
        Integrity is also another important aspect of JROTC, as youu expected to be honest when doing things that are against the rules.
      - Community Service
        
        Finally Community service is very impoortant to JROTC culture, as going to community service events and doing things in general that help the community are mandatory if you want a leadership position.
    - - Tight knit community
        
        I feel that Key Club can be considered a way to get closer o people in your school, as the club is very open and actively promotes meeting new people and building a community.
      - Community Service
        
        I feel that Key Club can also be seen as a way to gain community service hours for those who might not be able to find way to get hours, as they regularly host community service events which also help to serve building a bond between those in the club.
      - Promoting ideals for the club
        
        An important aspect of Key Club is promoting the ideals of the club, while also having a fun time with the other members of the club.
    - - Leadership skills
        
        Finance Club was my first club leadership experience, and it helped me get to understand how to create a culture witin a club
    - - Working together to help younger students with their assignments
        
        As I member of Tutors of Tomorrow, my job is to look for students online who need help with subjects they might struggle with
  - - - Through my religion, I have been able to learn more about how people think due to the way they approach religion
      - Mindfulness
        
        Religion has taught me to be mindful of everything that I do, and that I should forgive others for their actions while asking other to be forgiving of me
