Cultural Norms and the emotional misunderstanding

Every culture & subculture has norms which the members grow up immersed in, so they come to be second-nature, often confused with first nature or HUMAN NATURE

Examples:

• Should kids in trouble look their parents in the eye?
• Touching vs. non-touching cultures
• Americans drive on the RIGHT side of the road, us British drive on the WRONG? Or LEFT?

How do we think of this?

• Why?
• What conversation do we have with communities to understand each other?
• Is there a need to understand one another?
