Cultural Norms Across Borders

Write about cultural practices different from your own that you have experienced or learned about.

Globalization has allowed for a cross-pollination of cultural norms, traditions, and practices. Reflect on your understanding and experiences of cultural practices that differ from your own. You could ponder questions such as: How did you feel when first encountering these practices? Have your opinions changed over time? What has this knowledge added to your understanding of the world? The aim here is to promote empathy, tolerance, and broad-mindedness.
