Hagan covered was being aware of cultural differences when it comes to the context of words. I am aware of different cultures and how it is important to understand and respect the beliefs, philosophy, ideas, etc. but I never considered that words could have different meanings in different cultures. At this point in the webcast I felt a little thoughtless because that was one thing I was not considering about cultures, and after hearing Dr. Hagan talk about it, I felt like that should have been obvious to me. In the webcast, Dr. Hagan used an example of an egg, and how eggs are used differently in the English culture vs. her own. Many people associate eggs with eating, such as scrambled eggs, however, Dr.Hagan associates eggs with rubbing them on your face in order to getting rid of bad spirits or karma because that was what her family used eggs
