Affect

As I was doing some interviews I spoke to many Latinos, and they recognize the fact that their way of being is indeed different from white cultures within the United States. They refer to their personalities as loud and vivacious at times, and it seems not to bother them because from their perspective white people are boring. The fact that they are able to admit there is a difference is quite something in contrast to the very popular views that we are all essentially the same. I agree with this as far as we are all human beings, but there are certainly many things that make us different and affect is one of them. Being different "together" as one of my previous reading stated is not necessary something that is bad. Why is it such a good thing to highlight people's likeness as a good sign when, but highlighting their differences something that is looked down upon. Of course the answer is evident, but I think that if we are to take a lot of the traits that makes us different that may help us more that the futile attempts to assimilate. There are many proven draw backs to this, assimilation has been proven to be a key component of may people's success and sometimes highlighting differences in this world do not turn out for the best, but maybe at some point in the future this will chance and cases were being contrary to the norm will be seen in a good light.
