Cross-cultural communication with Leyah

I realized I was bicultural as well as bilingual from this session. I have never tghought about it before, but I feel very comfortable with an English speeaking culture just as much as I am in my Egyptian one. I can make friends, explore, ask around, meet new people, discover local details about a place, just as I can im my home town. I personally like people and enjoy getting to know new individuals all over the world.

Aleza Greene's session

This session was very interesting and helpful to find out about the disabilities act in the history of the U.S.  This was informative and made us know more about how documented these rules are, which help ensure that all people disabilities have a similar opportunity in life as any body else. though all the rules mentioned were very clear and assured us that all the buildings have elevators and ramps, in Cairo the buildings can be very historic and not designed for an elevator. Nonetheless, it is a social norm in Egypt to help anybody with a physical disabilty without thinking. Therefore, I guess that a strong well-rooted social norm of helping people out can be as  strong as any political rule that ensures that here.
