Task 1Question 1
Question 2
I met a white friend called “Michael” in high school. Michael’s family lives in America, but
has to keep their presence in South Africa for a number of reasons. There was a time
where Michael invited me to his home. I was excited that I was going to meet Michael’s
family. On the Friday afternoon, just after going home from school – I travelled to Michael’s
home. As soon as I arrived at Michael’s home, I rang the bell at the gate for Michael to
come open for me. When I got into the house, I greeted everybody in the room and they all
gave me a warm welcome. I then tucked my hands in my pocket while waiting for Michael
to wash the dishes, and talking to him at the same time. His mother felt disrespected and
started yelling at Michael to teach me the house rules. We eventually had dinner and
Michael called my parents to come fetch me. Before leaving, I approached Michael’s
mother and apologised for breaking their house rules. She explained to me that she was
raised in Germany where her family was strict with such protocol.
Question 3
Yes, after having dinner with Michael and his family, I approached his mother to ask for
forgiveness and we resolved our misunderstanding. She explained to me why she reacts
the way she does. She told me a story of how she was raised in Germany and that her
family was strict in various scenarios. I then told her that my culture forces us to respect
people in their homes, regardless of how we feel.
Question 4
a) Peers:
In my culture, formal greeting to peers is not major. However, informal greeting such as
“hello” is okay when meeting peers or friends. This shows that you are aware of their
presence and that appreciate and respect their presence. It would be disrespectful, or
inflict hate when you do not greet, which would commonly result in them having to
reconsider your friendship or relationship with them.
b) Parents:
According to Zulu culture, children are not supposed to look at their parents straight in the
eyes. Children are not allowed to talk back during argument. Children are not allowed to
stand around when adults are talking, they should sit down or kneel down.
c) Elders:
