I Movie Final Project

I have had trouble figuring out what to do for my I movie. Having time to think about it and speaking to different people, I realized why dont I do something about my culture. Growing up around the Middle-Eastern culture, my mom cooked a lot of arabic food. Both my grandmothers are amazing cooks, and they both have a passion for it. They put so much love into food. Not all people appreciate different cultures, but I do. It is such a pretty thing. Everyone is raised differently and everyone is raised on eating different foods not matter where you are from. I love trying new things. Everything is made with love since it is made by hand.

A few weeks ago in my Art Appreciation class, five Saudi-Arabian Muslim students came and spoke with  us about the beauty of art, and their culture. They brought in food, and they taught the class how to write in arabic. I was so shocked to see how many students were involved, but I was also shocked to see the students that were being disrespectful to them. They speak little English, so it was hard enough to communicate to the class. They took the time to make food and bring it in. They also took the time to present to us and I can imagine how hard it was for them.  I really enjoyed listening to them because I could relate to some of the things they were saying. I wish that everyone gave people respect about their culture.  We are all adults now. We are in college, we are no longer in high school. Everyone is different. The different cultures and languages are so fascinating. Try something new, that you have never tried before. Eat something you have never aten before, and try to speak a language you have never spoken before. Put yourself in their shoes. They are just like us, learning new things. Imagine if you went to another country and couldn't speak or undersand their language. It would be very hard and frustrating but also a learning experience. If you really think about it, it would be a struggle for you to adapt in a new culture just like it's a struggle for them to adapt to ours. My point is to try something new, and be open to other people's cultures. You will learn something you have never learned before.
