Questions (choose only one)

Do you believe America has become a culture that is suspicious of resilience and emotional reserve? Why or why not? (p123)
It takes a willful blindness to believe that other cultures lack a meaningful framework for understanding the human response to trauma. We pathologize their reactions. We say: “You don’t know how to live in this situation.” We take their cultural narratives away from them and impose ours. It’s a terrible example of dehumanizing people. (p107) If this statement is true, how do you think this can be avoided when we provide humanitarian aid to people in other countries?
