Teachings and beliefs in every ethnic group and I believe the shape the way in which we live or look at the world. The world goes round the way it does mostly because of how people live and how they treat each other. I tend to believe that every person is a replica of where they come from. I have 2 teachings that have carried me for most of my life. The first one being able to respect elders everywhere I go, regardless of how they look or their enthic group. Respecting elders has made it easy for me because I normally just recieve advise from elders I do not even know because maybe I had just greeted them respectfully and end up having a meaningful conversation with them. According to Devisch (2011)' The knowledge or knowing generated from such emotional and intersubjective encounters is co-produced in compassionate communal action.' The second one would be being kind to others. I think this teaching has made me aware that kindness really goes a long, more especially if you do not know what the next person might b e going through at that particular time and it might that you tend to make them feel better after being kind to them. 

There are too many teachings that I carry every single day of my life and honestly, I have become a better person and viewed a bit more differently after instilling those teachings in my own life.
