While engaging in an online course as part of the requirements for my Teachers for Global Classrooms fellowship, someone posted the following video as part of a discussion about being empathetic about cultural differences. I was very impressed and wanted to include it here so I wouldn't forget it. Although I can't remember the person who recommended it, I'm sure she was an English teacher who used it in conjunction with the novel, Things Fall Apart.
The moral is, we all have our prejudices and 'blindspots' and perhaps should be a bit more willing to actually listen to others and find out their story. We might be amazed. And humbled.
