My Future Experience

1. what I will experience in the future How old are you? How might your age affect both what you know and your attitude towards gaining knowledge?
I`m sixteen years old. My age affects my knowledge at the point where experience is essential for knowing certain things. Especially at my age it`s said that gaining knowledge is not a top priority in life so that it might influence my will and want to gain more knowledge. But It might also depend on the circle of friends young people have.

2. What is your mother tongue? What other languages do you speak? How might your particular language (s) affect you knowledge?
As I was born in Russia my mother tongue is Russian, but after moving to Germany I grew up with German and, later, English. My speaking

What sex are you? Does your gender role affect how you see the world? Does it influence your expectations of what knowledge you should gain in your education?
I`m a girl and grew up in a household where gender roles play an important role, but my gender role doesn`t affect how I see the world, especially not my education. For me, gaining knowledge isn`t affected by it and I experienced that I can gain knowledge as good as boys or other people. The same goes with the type of knowledge I should or can gain, it doesn`t matter to me. But this is just my view, I think it depends on your personality how much gender roles influence your own expectations.

5. Have you always had enough to eat, felt safe and been able to get an education? How do you think that having these needs met –or not- affects your present

With my own experience I can suggest that religion and different spiritual worldviews do affect knowledge. When people have a specific worldview, they get to know it by researching their own religion/worldview or they explore it. And like this people might know different or the same things depending on their own worldview. Considering that all people have different believes, their knowledge might be also influenced by the people who share the same belief and way of life.

7. In this chapter we have treated some broad features of culture identified by theorists. Are any of them useful to you in picking out cultural influences upon how you see the world yourself? Do you identify yourself with a particular culture?
I grew up with the Russian culture since my heritage is Russian. And as I live in Germany I noticed some aspects in other cultures like the German culture. So, I also could see negative aspects of different cultures like prejudice. Every culture has prejudices of other cultures and it continues along of every generation. And this is why I can`t really identify myself with one particular culture, sure, I was raised the Russian way and I love my culture, but every culture offers different things. I like it to explore new cultures so I can`t identify myself with just
