certain stereotype or group. So as I have grown into the woman I am today, I am now satisfied with knowing that I am not wholly Korean, Kenyan, nor American—but I am all of them. In my Korean culture, I’ve learned to be ambitious and the value of education. Korea is my family and my inheritance of a colorful culture.

It is unarguable that racism has improved over the last few decades, nowadays we don’t see all the separations of cultures and colors like we used to see before. Going back a few decades we saw how people where sorted by color, we saw how there were parts of a movie theater that was only for the whites and parts that were only for the blacks.

the world and each culture has their own sayings, however, there are some sayings that are found the same in many different cultures. An, interesting saying that I found in my culture goes like that “الوقت كالسيف ان ام تقطعه قطعك” ,and that mean that time is like a sword, if you don’t cross it, it will cross you.

From a young age we were…

people belong to a culture that distinguishes them from the people that not only immediately surround them, but live vast distances away from them as well. I would like to note that not every culture is a polar opposite from another, some cultures may be very similar in their views and values which can lead to cultural growth or tension between different cultural groups. At any rate, I decided to delve deeper into understanding the differences between people and their cultures and how they are…

Any culture is not superior or inferior to others. If I got another opportunity, I will definitely avoid cultural bias, will treat her as similar as others, will help her to go up the ladder and achieve her goals. c.

That imagination leads to lot of discriminations especially…
