Culture ID


I learned in this unit that everyone has his own Cultural Identity. When someone decides to live in another country, they normally bring and try keeping his original culture with them. People are extremely stereotype with foreign people want to live in their country. I think the most important thing is keep your culture in your family. Teach every generation about your family costumes. I read an essay in the class about a girl who has a Middle East last name Ali. She and her family is victim of stereotype just because of their last name. She was born in United States. She considers herself an American girl. No matter what she does, every time when a teacher calls her in the school, all of her friends think she is a crazy religious girl and an H-bomb that will explode the school any time. We have a lot to learn with another culture. I like live in a salad bowl country.
