Apprehending Foreign Culture

Thesis Statement

My trip to the land Gandhi is based on the story of the writer who has visited India and inspired with the culture. The time at which the trip has been conducted was the time of Montgomery boycott was on the peak in the country. At this time period Luther King was insulted, beaten and arrested by police officers. The various cultures are not separate watertight, but cleverly recovers in the commercial sector by acting together and by rubbing much more than Europe. It is not only through his films and television series, or his music that Europeans and audiences worldwide with bulimia eat, that American culture is different.

My trip to the land Gandhi is based stranger who paid his bail. But soon after, a black woman exalted as smear campaigns against the pastor had convinced that it was a Communist, he planted a steel letter opener into his chest.

King explained in “Stride toward Freedom: Prior to reading Gandhi, I had concluded that the ethics of Jesus might be effective in relationships between individuals”. The philosophy of 'turn the other cheek' philosophy and 'love your enemies' felt that they were the only valid, when individuals were in conflict with other individuals. When ethnic groups and nations were in conflict a more realistic approach seemed necessary. But after reading Gandhi, I saw how I was totally wrong.
