This week in class we talked a lot about differences between cultures. For instance, how something that is normal in our society can be completely rude and disrespectful in another culture. Its kinda cool if you really sit and just htink about how distant countries are from eachother can really effect how different their cultures are. Even just within the state of illinois, not many miles apart, are the suberbs of chicago. Even these tiny distances between each of the suberbs create pretty large differences with the people in each suberb. For instance, there are stereotypes for many of the schools in our area. Buffalo Grove high school is said to be less wealthy while the Stevenson kids are spoiled brats who have "Mcdonalds" in their school. Its insane how these two schools are literally in the SAME area! and yet they have completely different images and reputations, when in reality, the people at BGHS are just normal people like us...
