During this week's MOOC talk, when the idea of worldly topics and clashing opinions, it bought me back through a long list family episodes. My family comes from two different parts of Haiti that are polar opposites when it comes their views, especially politically. So at every major family gathering, someone feels the need to bring up some current events. When that happens a whole 3 hours can be added on the event just from the heated argument that's just begun. A family who loves each other, who can disagree on the slightest opinion and begin gnawing at one another's neck the blink of an eye.
Yes, cultural views can be different across the world, but they can be different in the same country as well.
