Know Thyself – Session 1 questions for reflection

1.       Think of one of the cultural analogies outlined in the video, such as the iceberg analogy…what are some of the things that are ‘hidden’ in your own culture (beliefs, values, worldview)? And how have these affected you whilst living in a culture outside of your own?

2.       Can you share  examples when your perspective has been misunderstood or misinterpreted? Why did this occur?

3.       Can you relate to the individual vs collective perspective outlined in the video? Do you think this has impacted you when living in a different culture to your own?

4.       Using the cultural map, think about the general culture base that your “home” culture is in? (Guilt, Shame or Fear) How has this impacted how you relate to those who have been living in a culture outside of your own?

5.       (Go Deeper question) Can you share specific instances when any of these cultural aspects have led to you being challenged in the way you are able to share your faith?
