I freaking love snow. Just saying. I went sledding today for
the first time and it was SO much fun!! :)
Okay so this past week we've been talking about different
cultures and diversity. I’m not going to give all the facts about that though,
because something really stuck out to me and I really just want to make that as
my point this weekend. It is important to learn about other cultures and become
familiar with them, but there are some things that we need to be cautious about
when we do. Sometimes after learning a lot about a culture people can become
narrow minded and start to not see the individuals just see the culture. We have
to be careful about stereotypes. I’m sure everyone has been the victim of a
stereotype at some point in their life, weather it was for their race, culture,
religion, or whatever else it was for. We all know that it is not a good
feeling to be seen as a group rather than an individual person. When we learn
about different cultures it can help to get a basic understanding of maybe the
background of a person, just do not lose sight of who they are and their
individual traits.
And I’ll step off the soapbox now.. I just really liked that
angle of the conversation. I think it is important and want to make sure to get
it out there. :)
Happy Saturday! Have a great week!
