    Throughout the entire semester I have learned a lot about diversity and treating people who may be different than you with respect and realizing they are just like us, they just do things a little different. Every country and culture has different sets of cultural norms of behavior. We had many readings from the textbook and the movies we watched that helped me develop a better understanding of other peoples cultures. My favorite movie was; The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. The reading, Too Many Bananas, was my favorite reading from the text that we read and discussed. We also did many things physically that connected with Neumann and the Franciscan traditions. We visited the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia’s home that is located on Neumann’s campus, and we all did our service hours with the community’s events throughout the tri-state area.…
