It has a white wine base sauce, mixed in with fresh tomatoes and garlic; the shrimp are seared in a skillet with garlic, butter and lemon adding an extra tanginess to the dish (Samuda, P.M., Cook, R.A., Cook, & Fitzory, 1998).

It also shows, since the writer is a Confucianist, that some did not believe that the ideologies could coexist or be mutually accepted. The notion that anything foreign isn’t trustworthy or applicable to Chinese life suggests that China believed it was the center of the universe and was superior to surrounding nations. The author’s point of view must be taken into account, however; Han Yu, being a Confucian scholar, likely spent long hours examining Confucian text and was unfamiliar to ideas that contradicted those beliefs. Therefore, he might not be open to receiving new ideas.

A simple sentence sparks not only conversations, but also friendship. For me, that sentence was, "Hey, I heard you speak Chinese." This meager attempt to start a conversation sparked an enduring friendship with Brock, a co-worker at the grocery store where I worked part-time. Our friendship helped me overcome debilitating anxiety that made most social interactions stressful as opposed to enjoyable. My anxiety stemmed from nearly all social interactions.
Lily Wong, in her article about food, entitled “Eating the Hyphen,” states, “Perhaps this combination (ketchup and dumplings) has something to do with the fact that since both my parents grew up in the States, we’ve embraced many American traditions while abandoning or significantly modifying many Chinese ones” (95). Wong expresses how being a Chinese American has affected her life in a positive way. Wong eats some of her food Americanized, with ketchup, but also eats food that the majority of American’s would not touch (i.e. jellyfish and sea cucumber). Comparatively, Wong eats dumplings (which derive from the Chinese culture) with a fork, knife, and ketchup (which are all culturally American).

During this semester, I gained a lot of skills and knowledge about interpersonal relations. As a human being, as a member of the "global village", everyone need to communicate with others. It is important to learn how to communicate well and how to build a healthy and positive interpersonal relationship with others.

A culture, by definition, is a set of shared beliefs within a society; learning how to interact with people from different cultures is important in order to communicate and work with each other. It helps us become understanding of one another and widens our perspective of what the world has to offer. To be able to cross cultural communicate with others, the first step is to be aware that every culture is complex and has its differences. While traveling to new countries and trying to understand each other, there is a large possibility of miscommunication, which can come in the form of misinterpreting messages or body language; therefore, it is crucial to keep an open mind whilst communicating. There are multitudes of factors in various cultures that play a role in decision making, so being aware of the expectations that are influenced by someone’s culture will help you understand their choices.
