Was Lia’s life ruined by cross-cultural misunderstandings? Explain your

thoughts.    Include sources or references to support your perspective.

Respond to classmates 50 words minimum: R1:

I don’t believe that cross-cultural misunderstandings ruined .cross- cultural misunderstandings occurs when something a word, gesture, object, social context, almost anything you can think of has different meanings in two cultures. Sometimes the misunderstandings get resolved, sometimes they lead nowhere, and sometimes they can escalate to anything from love to war. Lia life suffered from seizures. The doctors an Lias family spoke different languages and were from different cultures , their view were different when it came treating a sick person. The Hmong beloved in treating the soul the doctors believed in treating the body. There was a lot of miscommunication during this time for Lias family I do that cross-cultural misunderstanding did play a role a role in it there were a lot of barrier they had to deal with that didn’t not help Lias situation.

R2:

Cultural misunderstandings happen when words, body language, eye contact, and or social standing are represented differently by people of

different cultures. For example, the Hmong acted according to their norms and values, but the others, like Lia’s doctors, did not understand the message the way it was conveyed and was interpreted differently due to cultural differences. That said, I believe Lia’s life was ruined due to the lack of cultural understanding. Many events in Lia’s life could have been prevented if the Lee family had adapted more to the American culture or if Lia’s doctors had used a reliable Hmong translator. However, through the book, we see the Lee family and Lia’s doctors struggle to understand each other to the point where child services have to interfere.
