The world is full of countries and these are enriched with many cultures and socities that have an own life and, of course, many customs. These customs make us different between each other. And the differences frequently create misunderstandings. We tend to judge people without serious criterion. We talk to talk. So, in this opportunity, I want to expose a reflection about this false assumptions that we make about others.
American culture is judged by opinion instead of facts. They are well known for their punctuality, so we suppose that they are gridded people but we do not take the time to know them deeply. I have had the chance of sharing some experiences with Language Assistants who have been excellent people, very appreciative that deserve all good from us. They have taught me some customs, celebrations and traits about their culture. This has encouraged me to visit USA someday. When we interact with others, we can change our standpoints of the world.
Another misconception that could be taken in account is what people think about colombian people. It is assumed, in many parts of the world, that colombian people are dishonest and crafty, but we know indeed that we are special, humble, hardworking, and sensitive people. This kind of thoughts has destroyed our image in other countries. Generalization is always a mistake. Not all human beings are the way we think. Each person has a different story, amd this story takes place and time somewhere. We have to be aware of this. We should bear in mind these lifetimes can help us to build another view of the cultures and their societies. Therefore, the main suggestion is AVOID BIAS.
When we avoid bias, we are free to communicate and interact with others without obstacles because we do not have anything in our mind that can spoil the new relationships.
So, let's avoid bias and live paceful with others.
Today say YES to know others and invite them to build your life.
