Additional Quotes
Readers anticipate that a significant element of every story will be additional exposure to the ways of the Ojibwe. The truth is that I enjoy this aspect of the work.

Ability Quotes

Australia Quotes

Even nations that do not celebrate Christmas can't help but be caught up in the collective spirit of their neighbors, as twinkling lights dot the landscape and carols fill the air. It's an inspiring time of the year.

Citizens Quotes

Advice Quotes
One of the things that put me off writing for a while was that piece of advice everybody gives new writers: 'Write what you know.' Nobody would ever want to read about my boring life! But I do know a lot of things about different societies' cultures and mythologies. The way people were and are.

America Quotes
Muslims were seen as a threat to religious values and survival. The difference between the Muslim-world and America is viewed as a clash of cultures by many. What's missing is empathy.

African Quotes
I am South African by birth, but because of my father's job, our family traveled a lot. While living in places like Africa and Australia, we visited indigenous peoples. From the beginning, I carried a camera to document the beauty and wonder of these far-flung countries. I also realized many of these cultures were faced with issues I could not ignore. I understood at a very early age, things were not like they were represented in travel magazines.

Allow Quotes

We see great cultural diversity and large numbers of cultures per unit area in regions of the world in which the environment is really rich.

Affinity Quotes
I think there's an affinity with the Irish and black culture in many ways. I think tap emerged from Irish dancing when we came over with our hard shoes. Blacks watched it and developed it with hands and body and made it a different thing. There are many ways in how the cultures cross each other.

Across Quotes
Sudan has been an experiment that resonated across Africa: if we, the largest country on the continent, reaching from the Sahara to the Congo, bridging religions, cultures and a multitude of ethnicities, were able to construct a prosperous and peaceful state from our diverse citizenry, so too could the rest of Africa.

Business Quotes
I was in Japan in 2000 and it is an experience you just don't forget. The host people were extraordinary. You get to see so much of the various cultures and you stay in homes wherever you go. There are vocational days when people get to see business operations in that country. Someone (in the field of journalism) would go to see printing operations and things of that nature. Each person would see something from their own field.
-
Blind Quotes
To me, the remarkable thing is it's pretty much unanimous the way blind people have been perceived in all cultures and for millennia. The first is, if they can't see, they must be stupid. The second one is, and this is a very old one, that blindness is such a terrible thing that it must be a curse from God for some evil that you committed.

Assertive Quotes
The promiscuity of men in both these cultures is generally more acceptable. The thinking is that's OK for men to have side dishes. And that puts women at risk because many of these men don't use condoms. The two cultures are similar because there is a need for female empowerment so women can be assertive in their negotiating skills to get men to use condoms and be tested.
-
Awareness Quotes
There is a difference between cultures - of course there is - but it is much less obvious with younger generations and much less important when people are bilingual or educated.The 'them and us' stuff no longer applies. It is having not just awareness about different cultures but the way we speak in English.

America Quotes
Even though we all speak English here in America, you all speak a very different language. So it's really enjoyable for me to work at home. It's more cathartic, I suppose. To work in America or other places is more about curiosity, because I'm dealing with cultures and sensibilities that I don't really know.
