In my college classes, I spend time on multicultural communications and the importance of being aware of how different cultures view things. I always learn something new myself as well. This quarter one of my students told me that in many parts of Asia, red ink is viewed as a death threat. I assured everyone I wasn’t issuing any death threats . . .
For more information on cultural issues and education, check out this paper published for a Canadian conference on understanding Asian students at http://www.catesol.org/Kuwahara.pdf
