How do we see other cultures? What do we think when we see people who are different? We don't like things we don't understand. This is where discrimination and racism come from. We should learn more about different cultures!
I came across a very interesting video about Russia. What comes into your mind when you think about Russian people and country itself? Tanks, bears, and vodka. Unfortunately, it is not the way you imagine but people stereotype without having any background knowledge. Here's an example:
Yes, winters are cold! Yes, people drink! Although, they don't drink all the time :) We don't have bears running around and no tanks on the streets. What a disappointment... :)
Ps) the bear stole my vodka)))
