Week 25--"Cultural Mind Expansion"

Cultural Mind Expansion:  "You can take advantage of the wide variety of cultures living in this country to learn more about cultural differences and similarities--without having to travel thousands of miles.  Spend some time with an acquaintance who grew up in another country and compare your experiences.  Are his/her attitudes and values very different from yours?  Or take an adventure to parts of town that tend to be ethnically focused, like Chinatown, Japantown, or an East Indian neighborhood.  Observe mundane things such as whether parents discipline their children in public, whether make friends touch each other, and what sorts of things are sold in the grocery store.  Culturally expand your mind as often as you can."
