Some things in American culture are so well known here. I am surprised to hear people talk about their love of country songs, American actors, and my favorite tv shows. But some things I cannot believe people do not know about us. For instance: women in the U.S. shave their legs. Typical college students in the U.S. do not believe in witches. Yes, I have been questioned on both of these issues.
What I have learned so far: do not maintain any assumptions- that people know something or do not know something. I am learning how to learn about people.
How fitting, now that I’m in the social sciences.
