"People are people no matter what country, no matter what color, religion or kind. Here on the earth we are beutiful people with caring hearts and mind." I would like to start my writing with a pleasant song which me and my US friend sang while I was here once to perform with her.After reading the article I suddenely remembered that song, because I do believe that although there are various Intercultural Communication stumbling blocks" among the various people all around the world, if we think as one human being the world will be beatiful than this.But when I read the article I felt myself that I too have the experience about the " Tendency to Evaluate".
Before I come to BU I have been worked with kids in Albany so I had the experience about what they normally talk. But although I knew that the US is a free country and the young generation is very independent, sometimes I feel myself embarrassed hearing the things what they talk. As an Asian woman I never talk about sex with my adults. When I work in the costume shop I hear the students talking very openely about their personnel lives without caring about who is around. And at the same time "dating" is a new word for me according to my personnel life. I feel myself ashamed about hearing these things and most of the time it's very dificult for me to face to those moments. But, I know there are various values in various countries they have according to their cultures. So I try my best to respect for their values by sometimes hiding myself into the shell.

certainly I'm agree with your blog. Nowadays, we are living in a society that is very "open minded" and are not taking care about what do need to be discuss in private. Many people today doesn't care about keep this just for them. Is very impressive to see how this is different across the world or among different societies. In my country it's pretty similar but according to many scholars in the middle east it is quite different. Our society is in constant changing and we have to prepare ourselves to many other changes.
