Several of my classes have prepared me for working with individuals with different cultures. My food and culture class prepared me for accommodating individuals dietary needs and understanding body language. I am also glad to say I have never had conflict with another person over culture. I am always…
Culture identity is all around the world. Everywhere and anywhere many different people appear. From Chinese to hispanic, african americans to caucasians. Some might say where all the same inside, but the reality is how people represent their culture. I for one am not a genius, intelligent, oriental person you want me to be.

Is "race" being used in the proper sense? Michael Hadjiargyrou, a microbiologist and writer for Live Science, argues that it is not. He cites genetics and history in order to provide a compelling claim for the word's more careful use. The author begins by correcting the assumed idea that humans have different "races." He brings in scientific terms to back up his point, claiming "we all share a single phenotype". Furthermore, Hadjiargyrou provides an ethos argument through his career as a…

Two very broad cultures I’d like to compare with my own are Baptist Christian culture and…
