In the previous lessen we talked about the term "allochtoon" it defines itself as: not born on this ground. Were this ground can be interpretated as country,city, area, .... Schinkle thinks the following about this in combination with 'our society'. We see our society as perfect. Everybody who is not perfect doesn't belong to our society. This results in a for ever perfect society although we have criminals living amongst us. Though we don't see them as a part of our perfect society. Allochtonen are also excluded from this society, though we blame them for not adapting.
I think we can't speak no more about 'our society' if we want allochtonen to be part of our society. I' dont believe that an allochtoon can adapt 100%, this means he will keep some of his values and norms. If we wan't to live amongst each other i think we should speal about a new society. Consisting multiple cultures were non should be seen superior.
The reason we see one culture being superior above another could be explained with the theory of Edward Thomas Hall. He speaks about high and low context culteres. Where a high context culture has more 'logical rituals', for example putting of your head before entering a building. Though sometimes we see these 'logical rituals' not at all from a logic perspective. For example praying. Praying, i believe, belongs to a high context cultere. Were praying is almost unexplaineble at the view of an atheist. I believe, following Edward Thomas Hall, this is where one culture could feel superior to another because they simpley do not understand the other culture.
