Why do some people want to limit cultural contact and spread ideas?

Answer 1

because they are afraid of whats foreign to them. because they fear finding out that someone else has better practices, standards and ideas than they do.

Answer 2

Put together a scrapbook with you and her throughout the years. Go to the Scrapbook section of a craft store, and there are lots of different scrapbooks out there, some are very simple that you just put the pictures in little slots, some are predone pages that you just put the pictures on the page, and then maybe write something about the pictures. You are pressed for time So I would suggest something really simple. I would go for a pocketed scrapbook- where there are pockets to put the pictures, you can also buy journal boxes or photo mounting paper - if you want to personalize it and write some special messages to her. Just write it on the slip of paper and stick it in the pocket. If you tell the gals at the craft store what you want to do, they can give you some great ideas too. Edit** Also I noticed at Walgreens they have all kinds of gift cards- they even have some for US airways and Hyatt and Best Western- you could get her gift cards for travel- that may be a little out of the budget though (would be for me).
