Cross- Cultural Continued Reflection The paper is based on the following questions asked by my advisor, Dr. Larry G.Murphy 1.Why not seek understanding of this religious-cultural practice, in this time of cross-cultural learning? 2. In what sense, or for what reason(s) do you name this people as God’s chosen? 3.

On my arrival to the U.S., I got converted as a United Methodist. The word â€Å"converted† personally is very problematic for me, if one is referring to one of the denominations within the Christian community. The fact would remain that I am a United Methodist in the U.S., and any time, I step in the territory of Pakistan, I would be an Anglican Christian. The reason being, there is no United Methodist conference, office of the Bishop or congregation in Pakistan, second, the rest of my family in Pakistan is still Anglican. So, my question is: what separates us from the other Christian as who we are called to be? I just have a different caption of my denomination. I use the Islamic salutations to greet other Muslims (Pakistanis), which does not make me Muslim in any respect. Just like covering my head at times during the Christian, Islamic prayers, Sikh and Hindu prayers, is part of my Pakistani culture, I was very open to noticing that my Jewish friends at the Hillel Center during the Rosh Hashanah service had covered their eyes with their fingers.

In social work, this learning process is an integral part of applying theory to practice.

As Lee (1962) points out, There are periods in Japanese art where the artist is either copying, or is heavily influenced by, Chinese art. At such times it can be said that Japanese art is a strong reflection of Chinese art, (p. 3). At other times, though, small differences between the arts of China and Japan are magnified to such an extent that they become fully developed and original styles, (Lee, 1962, p. 3).
