　　Did you ever think someone was scary (可怕的) because they looked different or ate strange food? Well, they might think the same about you! One of the things we all need to do is to celebrate variety. We shouldn't think badly of people from other cultures because they are different from our own.

　　Sometimes we judge people from other countries unfairly, because one person from that culture did something bad. Well, has your class ever been punished just because a few kids were causing trouble? Has your whole family ever been blamed for something your little sister did? It doesn't seem fair, does it? It's just as unfair to blame a whole culture for what two or three people do.

　　So here are some things that you can do to help yourself understand other cultures.

　　1．Find common ground! Remember that even though some people look different on the outside, it doesn't change what they look on the inside. They still have the same feelings!

　　2．Don't blame everyone because of one! So let's say someone from another culture is being mean (卑劣的) and you decide to avoid everyone from that culture. Well, think about it. Why are you blaming them for something they didn't have anything to do with? Put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel? Trying to understand how a person thinks can be a very good way to understand why they are acting that way. Remember, other people may not think the same way.

　　3．Try to make friends with people from other cultures. You could ask them what they know about their culture, or what it was like in their country. Try foods from that culture, or ask them if they know any words in that language. You might be surprised at how pure other cultures can be! You can have great discussions and have lots of fun doing new things.

　　4．Know that people always judge other people. If you know what you are thinking then you can help make things easier. Pay attention to what you think about other people. It helps!
