Better Understand the vast implications of cultural differences is one of the things humanity still needs to do. International relations (politics) will get better from it. Overall, less misunderstandings, less fears of others, and the world will be be a better place. Thanks to people like you, we'll get there !

You live in a windmill and wear wooden shoes. . . I believe we need to get all the stereotypes out on the table. I once told my international students I was of Italian descent and a mature Chinese student said, "Oh, so you belong to the Mafia!" I immediately began to roar with laughter and judging by the embarrassed look on his face, I think he was serious! This became a teachable moment about stereotypes: "All [blank: plural noun] are [blank: adjective]". I surprised myself with my ability to find humor in this situation. Humor can alleviate tension in intercultural exchanges.

I guess just as I would assume from your name a father who either is himself or descends from Spanish speakers, possibly in Latin America and perhaps an English or American mother.
@ldmartinez02 Жыл бұрын
@@stevencooke6451 Your assumption is closer to the truth. I took my husband's surname but most people believe that one of my parents is from Latin America. I do not necessarily stand out as the stereotypical "big" US American. On the other hand, another woman who married into the culture jokes about how they call "Lois Santiago" in the doctor's office and don't expect to see a 6-foot tall blonde!

Our intentionally planned Humor doesn't really work in most cultures. Our humor means irony. Irony demolishes social hierachy and is therefore seen as scary by most cultures who are absolute on respecting order. It's a very Anglo American Dutch Danish thing to do to use such humor in daily life to turn the table as a nation of traders to get his way while doing a business. Instead we usually perceive others as having humor which never was intended to in their minds For example, Japanese crazy surreal entertainment and trying to escape from reality is often seen as the ironic thing in our philosophy and therefore perceived by us as Japanese WTF Humor. Which never was intended to in their mind to be seen as humor. It looks rebellious what the Japanese did so American or British people thought this fits in their own perspectives as absurd or countering.

You lost my interest when you stated, "there is nothing good or bad about culture, only differences." That's the same logical error that allows for the Hitler's of the world to rise without potent opposition and for destructive health practices in superstitious tribes to remain because they are part of cultural "tradition."
