The Right Way to Approach Culture (Assign. 13) Viviana Ortiz

First and foremost, we must understand that throughout the world there are different cultures. Many people fail to understand this which leads to racism and the most idiotic comments one could make. When you are not sure what someone's background is, the best thing to do, is point and ask. The question for the most effect should be phrased as "You have tan skin, you are Mexican right?" Your observation of their skin tone will make them feel more understood. But anyway, back to background.
There are many cultures, but 3 dominant groupings of people. It will be much easier this way and then it is harder to offend people when there is less to know.
1. Americans
2. Chinese (to the right of us)
3. Mexicans (below us)
Make sure you can identify each group with their characteristics.  Anyone who has a closed eye shape, will be put in the Chinese group. Anyone with tan skin, will be placed in the Mexican group. If you hear someone speaking in a foreign language, guess which culture they are from! It's a fun game!
As our world become becomes divided by the stereotypes placed about groups of people, these are the facts to break the cultural barrier. Push through.
