Well, one way I have grown academically over the last few months, is that having this upper level Psychology class really made me determined to get the course work done and not just throw anything together it prepared me for my writing and reading skills. This upper level course will. This upper level course will help me in my future because, I will learn how theories are applied to the world and, how different cultures believe in what they were brought up on. Now I have the understanding of cultural diversity and, how it relates in our society today.  I have grown a lot by taking this course writing wise and studying wise.  No my attitudes have not changed about Cross- Cultural Psychology, It will help in my future in many ways when I’m out in my career on the field working with people from all over the world with different backgrounds.  One thing I gained from the course objectives is that I develop greater understanding of people from other cultures and skills for successfully interacting with them. If I took this class again, I would pre- read the chapters before I study for them to better understand the material. One skill that I gained from this class, is that understanding from different parts of the world and critical thinking about different research materials.I want to be able to apply to skills in the real world and, show people that i’m educated and well diverse on this topic.  Now, I better understand research and theories.
