1. What cultural or social values, beliefs, etc., do we share with the society or culture in which the text was written? Why have they endured?
I think all people can relate to being courteous, aware, and understanding of offending someone especially when it comes to their race. That is something people are very touchy about in today's world and I think we can all relate.
2. What cultural or social values, beliefs, etc., do we not share? Why not?
I don't believe that we can necessarily say that we don't share any values that the article is talking about.
3. If the text is written in a culture distant or different from our own, what social values, beliefs, etc., connect to or reflect our own culture? What social values,beliefs, etc., can we not see in our own culture?
I believe that is it a pretty common social value/standard to be wary of the things you say and do so that you do not offend another person.
4. If the text is written in our culture but in a different historical time, how have social values, beliefs, etc., developed or changed over time?
I think if it was written in a different time period, more specifically the past, people might not care as much about the issue. It is not a bold statement to say that people are more racially wary than the past.
