Tolerance.

Being confronted with all these new culture, from England, India, Australia etc, we cannot avoid to talk about tolerance.
 Sometimes we are so used to what we know and what we are told to be good and bad, normal or weird, that when something new is shown to us we react negatively.
I think that is important for us to learn new things and about new cultures. there may be things that we wont agree with, but there will also be interesting things that are not common in our society. as we talk in class about indian and japanese healthy eating culture, the importance of taking care of our body. something that we as occidentals dont give much attention to.
  Asian cultures are older than ours, full of knowledge, where everything has a reason to be. opposed to us that use to copy others instead of build our own identity and culture or looking deeper in our roots.
  In the other hand is also important to filter and get to know the reasons of why they to what they do, the way they do, before star judging and refusing the possibility of learning  from this great cultures.indian culture video
