and cultural differences divide each individual in a multicultural society like America. America is a cultural melting pot that exposes a person to many cultures other than their own that they would not otherwise. Knowledge alone is not enough to shape our multicultural society like America. Therefore, I believe that learning about other cultures and religious are the best way to gain more knowledge around the world and make people get closer to each other. In response to a story “Being a…

Milstein is saddened that his son won’t get to experience the culture that he strongly identifies with (Reinking et al 152), while Mistry’s parents want to remove him from their Indian culture for Mistry’s own good (Reinking et al 156).

Growing up in the hardly diverse city of Richmond was not easy for a Chinese girl. Phrases like “All Asians look alike”, “All Asians can’t drive,” and “All Asians eat dogs,” became ingrained in my mind. Images of kids pulling the corner of their eyes while singing “Ling Ling” or “Ching Chong” became a video stuck on replay in my subconscious.

Society/pg.145- people who share a culture and society. In the video you can see what type of society the dharvi slum residents have compared to the people in the surrounding city.
