Question 5

We live in a variety kind of lifeform in this universe. We as a dominace

creature rule this earth as if will take many kind of action in building a
relationship in the ecosystem. Even among ourselves, a homo sapien we are
diverse and different from each other significantly in culture. Moreover the skin
color also play a big different for some particular people.
First thing we must try to understand each culture by simply learning it.
You may learn many things from a person about their culture simply by asking,
but you may also learn from other sources once you have opened that door.
Books, the internet, and international fairs and exhibitions are all excellent
places to learn many things about other cultures. Formal classes on language,
culture, and religions of others are also a good option for those who have time
and money to do so.However, one should always make sure to ask a person's
race and ethnic background before doing any research so that they do not
mistake Jamaican for African or Chinese for Japanese.(1)
Each ethnic has their own distinct by others. Their characteristic often
related with their own behaviour. They will easily being prejudge by a silly
simile. Examples like the african always being prejudice by assuming they are
harsh and criminal. The hispanic people know as low achievement and stupid
and the chinese as a greedy leecher. he second way get along with people of
diverse backgrounds is to not prejudge people and their situation. This means
when you first see someone, don't be so quick to say something bad about the
person. Don't dislike someone just because you had one bad experience with that
nationality in the past. We must learn that different people do different things.(2)
If you want to get along with other people in different culture, you just
start it with getting it once. Choose a new friend other than your culture and
start learning their culture. You must reflect their differences with yours. Once
you have made the decision to make friends with people different from yourself,
you can go ahead and make friends with them in much the same way as with
anyone else. You may need to take more time, and you may need to be more
persistent. You may need to reach out and take the initiative more than you are
used to. People who have been mistreated by society may take more time to trust
you than people who haven't. Don't let people discourage you. There are good
reasons why people have built up defenses, but it is not impossible to overcome
them and make a connection. The effort is totally worth it. You can try to put
yourself in their shoes if happen that they are the minorities in your community.
By experience it with your own life eventually you will gain more understanding
towards unity.
Finally it is easy to forget that the basis of any relationship is caring.
Everyone wants to care and be cared about. Caring about people is what makes a
relationship real. Don't let your awkwardness around cultural differences get in
the way of caring about people.
