Thinking
1. Do you think it’s necessary for Peter to learn about Indian customs
before he goes to India? Why or why not?
Yes, it’s necessary. Learning Indian customs helps Peter avoid mistakes and embarrassment. It can also help him communicate better with locals and have a better relationship with them.
2. Why is it important to learn about other countries’ customs? What
does “respecting cultural differences” mean to you?
Learning about other customs helps us avoid misunderstanding and trouble when communicating with foreigners.
It means accepting different countries have different traditions, and we should be polite and friendly to people from other cultures.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do!
Each culture is beautiful,
and all beauties can coexist beautifully.

美美与共
