CULTURAL SUICIDE

It is funny enough to note that for every culture that exists in the world, there comes a point where it makes an inward turn it chokes itself of the emerging ideas, the new dreams and the motivations and finally perishes. This is what is referred to as the cultural suicide. Our societies have seen suicide as a symptom of madness and helplessness. The cultural suicide has been a question of the thought. The meaning of the word suicide has made a big impression on most of us. Though most of the people might be scared of the words as they appear painful, but this is not the case as in the the skillful teacher. The culture suicide sends its signals that at time are tenebrous and they run throughout the whole human world as the signals are received by the market, it throws them away, or at times brightens them and later seduces whomever it can (Naroll et al 1970) . These major issues and challenges are handled by the the skilful teacher . The book The skillful teacher provides the steps that are refreshing from the preoccupations to view the human relations that are mostly can be taken as a play that is always present between the learner and the teacher and between the learners themselves. For a couple of time the community has been wondering of how to bring and educate a child well in the present world especially how to combine different groups of students from various cultures and be taught a common unit. It has been a nigh mare with the diversion in the culture and the education systems and the Modernity. The effects of cultural suicide are diverse. Evidence accumulated during the last few decades have proved that suicide may be subjected to the social issues. One has to maintain the respect and the teacher-student distance. He very carefully illustrates how different cultures should be handled in order to maintain the cultures. Different people from different backgrounds should be handled differently. The trust that exists between the student and the teacher should be developed, the teacher and the student responsibilities in the class be well defined. The method/technique of passing the knowledge should also be appropriate as per the students level of understanding and the culture. This is what it means to be a good and successful teacher (Leach 2006). The author of The skillful teacher explains the various methods that can be used to educate students and what it takes to be a good teacher. A perfect culture should exist between the student and the teacher. This creates a free atmosphere between the two groups. It is one thing to be broadminded of a persons conviction, faith, and views as long as those others are respected of ones creed and philosophy in return. Respect as a two way traffic. When we are attacked by others with deferent beliefs, it takes tolerance tom the cultural suicidal degree. This is through the denial that comes to us about how others do hate us regardless of the respect that we have given them. Lack of this good culture causes a defective educational system. The skilful teacher in explains the challenges that are faced by the two groups. Students at times do make great steps in recovering and actively using the knowledge that they got previously and the practices in the progression of overcoming coercion. It then becomes very difficult to merge students from different cultures under one common tie. They all have different cultures hence they vary in their reasoning, acts and even their reasoning differs. As they are passed from one different level to the other there is a slow change and drop of the previous characters and thoughts, as they tend to think almost at the same level and drop their previous cultures hence culture suicide. Cultural suicide has many side effects such as it raises a host of conceptual, theological and even the psychological queries. It does not come out clear why a culture behaves suicidal It is through the system that our cultures are dying hence cultural suicide. Reference List Naroll, R. Cohen, R.
