Week 2
For me culture doesn’t assume as much what is right or wrong, but rather what and why certain things have been accepted by the majority of people in a specific place or context. It isn’t always easy for me to adapt to a foreign way of living, especially when I have seen another way that I like more or feel works better. However, when one takes the whole culture into consideration, with its history and problems, it becomes easier and I find myself becoming more understanding.

Exactly! Culture is basically what everybody does, even if for some people it may seem wrong.
ReplyDeleteCulture interactions are not rigid, there is not a rule o recipe to gain undertanding, but being tolerant and receptive, as you may have the opportunity to do in different countries is a good way to interact with other cultures
