Why have you learned about your own culture? by Omrana

                 One of the big differences between my culture and American culture is mixing men and women students in classes. First of all, when I arrived to the US I got culture shock because their culture is different than my culture. For instance, when I started to study at GU that was difficult for me because of mixing the genders. I felt shy when I studied with men. Now, it is  easy for me because now I know about their culture. According to my brother, who had lived in the US, men and women in the US study together in the same class. As a result, he gave me evidence that American people have freedom in their culture. However, in Saudi Arabia women and men should not learn together. Additionally, people in Saudi Arabia follow what the Quran says about men and women being together. Furthermore, without doubt, I have learned that each country has different cultures. I grew up without mixing men and women, but now, I live in the US and now I have adapted to the American culture. After studying in the US I think that if my country mixed men and women in the same class, they could exchange opinions. That makes me feel happy because there maybe more equality between them. In conclusion, living in the US has taught me about my culture.
