Unfortunately we were not able to video link with Russia this week due to weather. So instead we had a discussion about our in groups and out groups. In class we had an example of a person who worked at a desk job where they could decorate the area they had in the office. On her desk she had a picture of a bible verse and other people in the office believe she was othering herself from the others. We had a class discussion on if we believed she was othering herself. I personally believe that she was not because she has the right to believe was she wants and other people have the choice of how they react to it.
Also according to the readings, they were about trying in fit in with other cultures. There was a time when I was on a missions trip with my church, we went to Nicaragua for ten days. It was very hard to try and fit in with another culture and become like them because everywhere around the world has their own cultures and what they believe. I think that if you show that if you are making a strong effort to fit in the people of that certain culture will respect you.
This picture is showing that people from different cultures should respect the cultures of others.
