QUESTION 1 1.1. According to Leland et al. (2013), we
need to understand that texts often embrace cultural
ideas and, therefore, we should be sensitive to the ideas
associated with specific cultures when reading. How can
being sensitive to the cultural context of a text help
readers avoid misunderstandings or misinterpretations of
its themes and characters? (5 marks)
Being sensitive to the cultural context of a text allows readers to better understand the
perspectives, beliefs, and values that shape the characters and themes within the story. Here’s
how it helps avoid misunderstandings or misinterpretations:
1. Cultural Norms and Practices: Understanding the cultural context helps readers
recognize behaviors, traditions, and customs that may otherwise seem unusual or
confusing. This prevents misjudging characters' actions based on unfamiliar norms.
2. Language and Symbolism: Cultural awareness helps readers interpret symbols, idioms,
and metaphors correctly, as these may carry specific meanings within certain cultural
frameworks.
3. Historical and Social Background: Readers can appreciate the social or historical
events influencing the characters’ decisions and the plot's development, which might be
misunderstood without cultural insight.
4. Moral and Ethical Standards: Being aware of different moral codes or ethical systems
helps avoid imposing one's own cultural standards on the text, leading to a fairer
interpretation of the characters' actions.
5. Avoiding Stereotypes: Cultural sensitivity allows readers to move beyond stereotypes or
simplistic interpretations, leading to a more nuanced understanding of complex characters
and themes.
This understanding fosters a deeper connection to the text and a more accurate interpretation.
