The Paper: Interview the person you chose about your differences with the goal of learning more about their point of view. Remember that you're not here to argue with someone or convince them that they're wrong; your goal is to learn about a different perspective so that you can be empathetic to them. Consider asking your interviewee questions like these: What co-cultures do you identify with? How have those co-cultures changed your life or worldview? What worries you (either globally or locally)? What do you want people to know about the co-culture you represent? Are there any stereotypes about your co-culture that you would like to address?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I choose to interview one of my brother's teachers.

And I am going to use the questions attached.

What co-cultures do you identify with?

I identify with African Americans and Hispanic people. I really like to hang out with them. They are more open and amicable. I have historic ties with African American heritage, although I am white.

How have those co-cultures changed your life or worldview?

I have learned that through understanding the history and background of people, you can really know so much more about who they are and how they think and act.

I think the most important thing that I have learned is that there is much more of what my parents and acquaintances have taught me.  That people out there are doing good and successful things that I was taught.

And because I do things differently than others, this doesn't mean that I am right and they wrong, or vice versa. We are simply different.

What worries you (either globally or locally)?

The hate people are expressing these days. This wrong perspective of if you do not think like me you are wrong and therefore, you are my enemy. I think that is hurting us so much.

What do you want people to know about the co-culture you represent?

That everybody has very good things to share. It is just a matter of being open and be willing to listen to what others have to say. We have to give us a chance to acknowledge that I can share and help others as others can share and help me. It is called collaboration instead of competition.

Are there any stereotypes about your co-culture that you would like to address?
