Heart of Darkness Part 2

Response to Camila Nieto

I agree with Camila, that we all think of another country with what we hear. However, I believe it's only because we are scared of what's outside of our own world. I know a lot of people who haven't even left their own neighborhood (this is back in Texas) and only believed the stereotypes of places I have been to or have lived in. While I do think that this is terrible, I do think that this is only a defense mechanism. Maybe we shouldn't blame people for being this way, or maybe we should teach people better. I do not think that this mentality that we have of other countries is our fault, but more of societies fault.
