It’s when the people see that his culture is better than any other cultures.

Therefore, it may effect to other counters.

Write your answer on the lines below.   The cat ( Bucky ) is upset because the man was watching a program about other cultures. It’s clearly shown that the dog refuses the idea of preserving other cultures. He also believes that his culture is the best and he won’t need to learn about the other cultures.

 

  3. Looking at the cartoon characters.

 

Imagine them in social situations. What kind of people would (would n’t) they associate with? What kind of events (movies, shows) would (would n’t) they prefer to go? Think of other situations.

 

Describe Bucky

In my opinion the cat ( Bucky ) will not going to work with people who are different from his own culture because he thinks that his culture is the best and there is no more to learn about. It seems that the cat will exclude the historical shows and visiting places in which the exhibition of other cultures is taking place as well.

 

 

 

Describe the man talking with Bucky. Let’s call him Tom

 Tom has especially thought which he is respecting other cultures without focus on the negative and positive behavior which accept they own culture. And he has ease way to deal with other people in other societies and it depends on the metal of the man.
