I have learned that
culture is defined as
a system of beliefs,
attitude and
behaviour that
explain different
way of people’s life.
Cultural
expectations are
described as the
standard of living of
people. These
expectations help an
individual in guiding
their behaviour
within a society
(Smith, 2017). On
the other hand, I
have learnt that

This will help me in

These expectations
are necessary for any
individual because
they make them
responsible for their

encourage them to
improve their

promoting
awareness about
diverse culture
which in my opinion
could prevent us
from building

Behavioural

These expectations

I have gained
knowledge about
peer learning which
is defined as a
learning technique
that encourage
teamwork and
collaboration among
people to improve

(Pitts and Gross,
2017). I have learnt
that peer learning
