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

expectations are
necessary for any
individual because they
make them responsible
for their attitude and
encourage them to

others. Cultural
expectations assist in
promoting awareness
about diverse culture
which in my opinion
could prevent us from
building prejudice later
in life. According to

I have gained
knowledge about peer
learning which is
defined as a learning
technique that
encourage teamwork
and collaboration
among people to
improve their
knowledge (Pitts and
Gross, 2017). I have
learnt that peer learning
process is considered
as a foundation to
develop team spirit
among students which
could help them in
their professional life.
This learning technique
assist people in gaining
an effective and
engaging learning

enhance their interest
which could further
improve their concepts
towards better learning.
