Sensitivity Lab 14

Words are a powerful medium. Words that we take for granted in America can be construed as vulgar or offensive to those of other cultures and languages. Certain sayings that we take for granted can have a completely different meaning in another language. In order for there not to be any confusion, we should somewhat understand a few things about the other persons culture before we write. A little common sense on our parts is helpful. The best way to keep from offending someone of another race or culture is to understand who they are and the background from which they come.
