Culture

This opening quote in Cultura crystallized my thoughts on cross-culture relations,

"The Greatest Distance between people is not distance but culture."

I think this sentence hits the nail on the head. I really thought in my innocence that people of different cultural backgrounds could get along. However, even though I still think this is true, I now know that it is a very complicated issue.

The most recent thing in the news discussing this ongoing conflict is a law Arizona passed that bans ethnic studies programs in high schools.
