Question

Would you agree with the statement, "when we don't understand each other's language, language identity and culture we view each other differently? In your elaboration discuss how your being exposed to different cultures expanded your world view.

Answer 1

Yes, language and culture are important elements that define our identity and differences. They determine individuals' believes, norms, and way of life; therefore, it is important to understand our differences and co-exist. Being exposed to different cultures helps develop cultural intelligence, stay positive with others and develop a common ground regardless of our cultural backgrounds.
