Comment on Kumaravadivelu(2008), chapter 2

The chapter was short and easy-read. One personal concern is that, when I was reading the page on "U-shaped cultural behavior of multi-cultural child", I thought to myself that I would have to give a lot of caution to care of my baby. She would face this heterogeniety of life if she grows up in America, as her ethnic identity is Asian.

Another thing in my mind is, everything is relative - my culture can be viewed through the lens of other culture, and vice versa. Let me tell you a wisdom phrase in Korea - 他山之石- the meaning is "let another's shipwreck be your seamark".

This chapter is also about "reality". I look forward to what is ahead of us during the journey of Introduction of TESOL. I'd like to know the "reality".
