Difference!!

3. What should we do when we are confronted with other cultures?

         This is a rather simple question in my opinion. When we are confronted with other cultures it is actually natural to detest and debate upon whether or not the culture is acceptable. Yet to be honest I would debate and consider my thoughts as well. When we look upon different cultures the first person who would come to my mind would be Don Richardson because he is the first man ever to embrace and convert a whole society into Christianity by understanding and taking time.

            At first I thought Mr. Richardson was completely insane to enter a cannibalistic culture. How he did not die was a complete mystery. When a certain deity different from the bible had faced him of whom he believes I would figure that he would lose, but suddenly his victory over the people of which the Sawi culture had believed in had, had a change of heart. Surprisingly after this experience of which the Sawi had faced multiple minds had turned making Mr. Richardson trustworthy. His faith had been tested, yet his own culture developed by one of holy grace truly shown during that particular moment.

            That’s another thing about Culture. Not only can we embrace and open our arms to different cultures, but also we can share our own, new to those who do not understand it. Once they understand it a change of heart may be possible, but it is not guaranteed. Like all cultures it is difficult to accept one another, which is why global peace does not exist today. It will never exist; since cultures keep changing peace becomes harder and more difficult to accept.

            But what can we do? We can try as a unit as one, to accept all cultures beneficial to the world’s society, but if we fail to succeed and we fail to understand, than we shouldn’t even bother confronting them.
