Way to learn different things from Others.

We watch a movie A Bronx Tale it was great movie ever I watched in my Life. I learn lot of things from this movie was that how we raised up withing different groups and learn different things from them just like C did in movie. When he was young he used to hang out with his friends, everyday go with his father in bus, school etc. But where he was living there were lot of crime happen around him and he used to watch this crimes. He met a mobster Sonny and Sonny influence him a lot and taught him lot of good things. C learn lot of things from Sonny, his friends, and parents. This shows us that this is related to generalization like how you raised around gang members? You grown up like that, you do that stuff what you see or happen around you. One day when C's friends died that day he learn a good lesson from them and he try to listen his parents after Sonny got died. As we thinking about C, I will tell you that in India I used to grown up in good Neighbour hood and well educated people live around my house. So, people generalized that I am going to a good guy or like that. But it does not happen all the time. You may be got bad influence by others outside then around your neighbors. There also problem about race like when C goes to black neighbour hood they tried to get out of him from there. But we can not judge people by their race or their community. We have to treat all people same us others.

Also, I was reading about article A Gang Leader for a Day, it was very nice to read and learn about Sudhir Venkatesh's story like how he interact with black people and ask about their black culture and how they feel about it. When he went to the black apartment it was very risky to learn about their culture and what they might do? Because we don't know them and it might got any problem. Also, they all are gang members and hard to interact with them in one day. We might have to join them for few days see what they were doing and try to learn their culture, their views about different things. He was to hang out with that gang members and try to learn about them from being with them. Also, it was very hard to find a something about groups or people. However, when I was in India I have to go to different people house to take surveys it was very hard, and weird because I was taking survey about giving people samples about different food and convince them to buy. Also, ask them for how it is taste and what can I change to make it better. So, this is kind of hard to find somethings when we do something new. It is not easy to achieve or get something.
