Red Sari chapter 7 Context

Last week we saw the film " First Ladies' Detective Agerncy" which is set in Botswana and gives a picture of the way of life in an African context.

As you answered in your questions there are big differences between living in Africa and Sweden.

But what is it like living in 2 cultures at the same time?

That is the problem for the young woman in "Red Sari" whose family is from Sri Lanka but who is living in a big city in England.

What would you do if you moved to another country? Would you keep all the Swedish traditions or try to live as close as you can to the new culture?

In New York you have China Town and little Italy. 
In Los Angeles you have the East Side where over 91% of the population are latino!

Read the story about Amanthi. Where do think Andrew comes from?

What would you have done in the situation? Would you have followed your mother's wishes or followed your own?

Now do a wordlist!

There are many people in Sweden who come from other cultures. We have many of them in our school.
What do you know about their background and culture?
How would they dress and behave if they were in the country of their birth?
