Reaction to the Barna text

I agree with Barna's point that it is important to understand different culture. We are now living in global world, and have many chances to experience those differences. However, through the class discussion, my mind changed a little. I still think it is good opportunity to learn and accept different culture, but people must select only the cultural behavior or customs that will prosper in their culture. The most difficult part is the balance of keeping their culture’s identity and accepting it of other culture. Recently, the globalization has become increasing, so I think everyone should examine the way to keep their peculiar culture.

Barna’s text made me notice the types of obstacles in having relation with different culture’s people, but also made me think how I should deal with those difficulties individually.

Therefore, in my opinion, her text is good to read and very useful!
