Around page 106 in Chapter Four, our text discusses four things to keep in mind when exploring cultural differences. The third item suggests, trying to “decrease the social distance between you and those about whom you know little, if anything.” Do a bit of research, and write a paragraph about Bogardus’s scale of acceptance. What are his principle assumptions about about how we connect or distance as humans? And, how does his scale work? In a second paragraph apply that theory in your own life. Where do you tend to social distance? Realistically, what could you do, even small steps, to bridge that gap that we all have, and specifically where/what might that look like in next steps for you?
