Politeness

Moving from Zimbabwe to the United States of America has opened my eyes to a number of biased stereotypical values I held. I perceived American children as children with little respect compared to African children, but now I can assuredly say that there is a story behind every behavior mostly influenced by the society or the sub-group an individual comes from. I have noticed that in most of my classes, some American students respond/talk to their professors like they are of the same age. To most…

Men should be able to dress how they want, and women should be able to speak to whomever they want without being labeled.
