Culture and Communication are crucial parts of anyone person's "make-up". We each come from different places, families, backgrounds. These each have an effect on who we are, the way we react, and the way we interpret reality around us. Language can be a huge factor in communication, not does it inhibit communicating certain things to those of different backgrounds or origins, but these very languages allows one to look at things differently. Language can even affect the way we view nature. Nature to me is flying down a ski hill, cutting across perfect glass on my slalom ski, or ripping down a canyon on my long board. However, to other culture, nature can be seen as something that is a alive and should be respected and or valued. Nature can even be seen as a daily obstacle, what to eat and drink is something that nature doesn't put forth very easily in some parts of the world.
Service Learning - I have been communicating via email with the lady in charge in SLC as to what she think would be beneficial for the refugees.
