Analysis: Through our Cultural Detective packets and in-class card exercise (which was genius!) I've realized the importance of taking other cultures into consideration. When working in groups it is really important to consider that everyone comes from a different background with different values and goals. Some things are the same, some are different, - but neither are better than the other. We can all incorporate our different backgrounds together to come up with something great and creative when applying respect.
