Summary

The purpose of this summary is more or less to sum up how you feel about other people and how the culture that you are interested in regards the same type of people. This knowledge will help you avoid many misunderstandings.

This exercise was created by The Peace Corps. Feel free to add others to the list of people as well.

Instructions: In general, note the following about the types of people found in the list below:

  • how closely you are involved in that person's life and vice versa;
  • how responsible you feel for the happiness and well-being of that person and vice versa;
  • how much of your inner life, your most private thoughts and feelings, you share with that person and vice versa;
  • how much that person "means" to you.

  • Your parents
  • Your grandparents
  • Complete strangers
  • Your first cousins
  • People you've met once or twice
  • Your closest friends
  • Your brother(s)
  • Your aunts and uncles
  • Acquaintances
  • Your second cousins
  • Good friends
  • Your children
  • Your spouse
  • Your in-laws
  • Your sister(s)
