centric tendencies

Blog: We all have ethnocentric tendencies. Give an example of some you have heard or seen with friends or media. 

An example can be what we talk about written Hebrew as reading "backward." Why not just say "from right to left" or "in the opposite direction from English."

Blog Question: Am I a global citizen? Why or why not? Give an example of someone in your life who exemplifies the qualities of a global citizen.  

I think i am a global citizen because i am here in the U.S.A. doing an exchange, and is the best way to learn about another culture. I have friends who create a big group and collect clothes and food to donate to people who need it and they did a lots of travels to poor countries and help the people.

Stereotyped

Blog: Have you personally felt stereotyped (age, gender, looks) How did you feel? Did/do you defend yourself? How could you do so?  Do you stereotype others? Where does it come from? How do we change how we react away from our automatic responses and our new Global Citizen perspective? Is it possible to change human nature bias? 

Yes, i have ever felt stereotyped and i didn't feel good, i defend myself and explained the other person that he or she is wrong.

I have stereotyped others, i am not sure why, maybe because all the people say that. I think is possible to change the human nature bias.
