About This Quote

A foolish mind would not raise an eyebrow when things are done diff erently in a foreign culture. An educated mind would try to understand the meaning of it all. George Bernard Shaw said, "A foolish mind would not raise an eyebrow when things are done diff erently in a foreign culture." When we travel to a foreign country, we might be surprised at how they conduct themselves. It is easy to assume that people from a different country do things differently from us.

However, it is usually our ignorance that leads us to this conclusion. In truth, there are no differences in how people from other cultures behave. We tend to believe that they think differently because of their dress or language or food or something else related to their culture.

This assumption is largely false.
