Students' Questions 2.0 ~ Module 1

"I experience cultural biases often. I have an accent, and can mispronounce  words, or phrases, and I believe this often leads to other people thinking that I am less competent, or intelligent. I know that I am not alone, as I hear other first generation immigrants expressing the same frustration. It can be hurtful.  That often leads to reinforcements of double cultural biases, as in order to protect their identity, the ones being judged, lean to their own cultural biases, and isolate themselves in groups of people from the same culture. I hope this course will bring more understanding, and also respect to other cultures, and also highlights the benefits of different thinking styles and backgrounds."
