Lesson 4

I liked the photographic story, showing that especially when we travel it is our responsibility to inform ourselves about what is considered to be rude in that country. Because if we don’t, we might go around offending people all the time, which will affect the way these people see people from our country and their attitude towards them. We can’t forget that everywhere we go we represent not only ourselves, but a whole culture.
As teachers I think it means that we have to find out who our students are- do they all have the same backgrounds and beliefs? We should make an effort to find out, not only in order to not offend them, but also to be able to choose topics that are meaningful and interesting to them.
