When speaking to someone from another culture my conversations do differ. How much depends on how new to my culture this other person is or the reason that I am talking to this person. With all these conversations they are generally full of questions and driven by curiosity. The conversation will be full of questions like, “What is the reason for this....?” or “Does everyone from your background participate in activities like this...?” I want to know as much as I can so that I am a more informed friend or acquaintance. This is especially true if it is a culture I don't know much about. I feel bad sometimes because I don't want then to feel as if they are a specimen I am examining.
