Apply what you’ve learned, and recognize it in your lives
I want students to take course material out of the classroom – see how psychology lives and breathes in their daily lives. To accomplish that, I encourage everyone to use the course hashtag #ubcpsyc307 to tweet about how you see cultural psychology operating in real life. I will occasionally compile tweets from members of the class and discuss them in class. Here are some examples from previous years!
@UBCDrBenCh can we apply the approaches of dealing with culture (i.e. colour-blind and multicultural approach) to the notion of gender? I wonder if we would see the same outcomes that were associated with ethnic minorities if we were to look at gendered minorities #ubcpsyc307 https://t.co/x7kj0nzJZA

@UBCDrBenCh Hofstede's dimensions just came up on my marketing textbook, was able to jump over the section thanks to #ubcpsyc307. Also, shame to Patricia the academic counsellor, who said psychology had nothing to do with marketing (her name wasn't Patricia, just dramatic effect)

You have taken Cultural Psych when you can tell a BBC Earth nature documentary that the monkeys don't take up to 8yrs to successfully "imitate" the use of a hammer & anvil, they take 8yrs to "emulate" it.@UBCDrBenCh #ubcpsyc307 pic.twitter.com/b2hE6a7hIQ
