Did you ever think someone was scary (恐怖的)because they looked different or ate strange food? Well, they might think the same about you! One of the things we all need to do is to celebrate variety.We shouldn’t think badly of people from other cultures because they behave differently from us.

Sometimes we treat people from other countries unfairly, because one person from that culture did something bad.Well, has your class ever been punished just because a few kids were causing trouble? Has your whole family ever been blamed for something your little sister did? It doesn’t seem fair, does it? It’s just equally unfair to blame a whole culture for what two or three people have done.

So here are some things that you can do to help yourself understand other cultures:

①Find common ground!

Just remember that even though some people look different on the outside, that doesn’t change how they are on the inside.They still have the exact same feelings!

②________________

Because someone from another culture has been mean to you, you decide to avoid everyone from that culture.Well think about it.Why are you blaming them for something they didn’t have anything to do with? Put yourself in their shoes.How would you feel? Putting yourself inside someone else’s head can be a very powerful way to understand WHY they are acting the way they are.

③Try to make friends with people from other cultures!

You could ask them about their culture, or what it is like in their country, if they can remember, or if they have ever lived there.Try foods from their culture, or ask them about words in their language.You might be surprised at how interesting other cultures can be! You can join great discussion groups, participate in projects, and have lots of fun doing new things.

④Be aware that you’ve judged other people

If you know what you have done, it helps to make things better.Pay attention to what you think about other people.It helps.
