You Smile, I Smile :]

All of a sudden I found myself thinking sociologically when I left class Thursday. I could not stop thinking about how different some cultures really are and how we really have to understand other cultures in order to communicate with them and to show respect. For example, in the American culture it is socially acceptable for women to wear very little clothing in the appropriate weather conditions. It is acceptable for woman to show themselves in bikinis and it is appropriate for women to show their faces. In other cultures like Indian cultures women have to hide themselves in dark clothing and can show very little of themselves. Most of the time those women can only show their eyes. This is a perfect example of totally different cultures!
