What can you learn from other cultures?

Answer 1

love humanity !.

Answer 2

I work with cuisine/cooking. Learning another cultures' cusine and cooking techniques is such an easy and positive experience! You may not speak the "dialect" but there is something positive when you recognize that you speak a common language: cooking and eating ! I think everyone enjoys sharing their food "culture" with others!

So what do you learn from anothers culture? You see where you have similarities, where the other has an idea worth looking into, and finally respect for the differences between you. On the whole: a positive adventure!

Answer 3

I spent 10 years in the Navy and I visited over 12 different countries. The number one thing I learned is that as different as people are they have just as much in common. Every where I went I saw people that worked hard to provide a home to their families. They cared and love one another regardless of what particular word they used to describe it. The governments were different, the cultures strange, customs and holidays all unique, but at the heart of all the different people I saw people that just wanted to make a living and a life for their families.

I also learned that even though we may consider our way of life to be the right way, it doesn’t work for everyone, so we have extend these people the right to choose how they wish to live and we need to learn to be a bit more open and tolerant to people around the world. Even if they are not as accepting to our way of life.

Answer 4

Customs, values and more..........

A white American teacher went to teach on a native American Indian reservation, and came up against a stone wall.

She found that whenever she asked an open question in class, none of the kids / students would raise their hands ready to answer. No one would tell her why, especially as she made the answers so easy that she knew they knew the answers!

She assumed it was some sort of hostility towards her, or teenage rebellion or plain bloody mindedness..... until another teacher explained it to her.

The tribes people were very proud and protective of each other. So, if you knew the answer and raised your hand, you risked embarrassing those who might not the answer ~ by showing up them in their ignorance through the simple raising of a hand.

Ok. Now turn it around. What might other cultures learn from knowing you? (what is there useful, respectful, honourable or noble even, that you can teach others?)

Sash.
