Activity 4.2: Cultural Values & Communication (Part 2)

For this activity you will switch roles and reflect upon appropriate responses from another cultural perspective. If you wrote as Ahmed’s friend in Activity 2.1, it’s now your turn to write as Brian’s friend. If you role played as Brian’s friend, you will play the role of Ahmed’s friend. What questions do you have about your friend’s comments? What cultural values, behaviors or personal preferences are evident? Do you agree with your friend? Why or why not?
