Cultural Self-Assessment Using the Purnell Model
Overview, Inhabited Localities, and Topography
How strongly do you believe in the value of education? Who in your life is responsible for instilling this value? Do you consider yourself to be a more linear/sequential learner or a random-patterned learner?
I have adapted the beliefs and regard of both my parents towards education because I believe that there are many opportunities available for people who pursue learning. This does not only apply to degrees from prestigious universities but to learning and education as a whole. I can say that I am a linear learner because I like things in order, which I have learned from my parents. I have adhered to these because I believe that it is the right thing to do, which will benefit me in the long run.
Communication
What is your dominant language? Do you have difficulty understanding other dialects of your dominant language? Have you traveled abroad where you had difficulty understanding the dialect or accent? What other languages besides your dominant language do you speak?
My dominant language and the only language that I am fluent with is English, and I do not find other dialects difficult to understand. When traveling abroad, the English language is common. However, there are difficulties encountered with trying to understand various accents.
Family roles and organization
How would you classify the decision-making process in your family—patriarchal, matriarchal,
or egalitarian? Does it vary by what decision has to be made? Are gender roles prescribed in your family? Who makes the decisions about health and health care?
The decision-making in the family is very patriarchal, and I can say it is very traditional. My household still adheres to gender roles, such as household chores being the woman's responsibility in the house. Still, when it comes to health care decisions, both genders participate in equal decision-making. I do not adhere to gender roles because I believe that it is the duty of everyone, regardless of gender, to maintain cleanliness and order in the household.
Workforce Issues
How timely are you in reporting to work? Do you see people in the workforce who do not report to work on time? What problems does it cause if they are not on time? What would you do as a supervisor to encourage people to report to work on time?
I am always on time or even early, especially during formal gatherings and work meetings, because I highly value the time of others. Others are always late, and it causes delays on the agenda for that day, affecting the lives of other people who are participating, so it is never a good thing to be late. I will abide by the supervisor's rules, and I will support it because it is the right thing to do so everyone will be productive and efficient. I adhere to this because being on time is a sign of showing respect towards other people's time (Constantino et al., 2018).
