Analyzing your personal circle of influence is important to help understand our view of the world. We see the world through those we interact with on a daily basis. It is important to surround ourselves with a variety of backgrounds, viewpoints and life experiences. This helps us expand our view of the world and differences.
Analyzing those we view as "other" is an important question. Our own personal history, background and cultural upbringing may shape who we view as "other". Debunking these stereotypes takes great personal effort and work. This links with the first question of expanding our personal circle to allow for difference and acceptance towards others.
Analyzing our cross-cultural literature and media is not something I typically think about. However, on upon personal reflection, much of the media I consume includes characters that look similar to me. It is important to take a moment to think about how that may affect me, even implicitly.
