    Why are MOST people are so self-fish?

    I don't believe this is anything new. People have always been this way. But in the past - I'm talking very long ago - people mostly lived in small communities, villages, and towns where everyone knew mostly everyone. They formed a community of people who said hello to each other in passing. In...

    How do i tolerate other cultures?

    How can I tolerate other cultures that are against my values? You're not forced to live it. How can I tolerate a culture that allow the men to stone a woman to death because she showed her ankles? This happened in my country (but she was accused of adultery) and it was a huge scandal in our...

    lool Same here. My friends would ask me to dances, you should have seen the shock on their faces when they saw me dance.

    Have you ever wished that other cultures could understand the black culture?
