cultural sensitivity

culturally insensitive
Having a picture of a woman in the kitchen and claiming it as our heritage is insensitive to the woman population. Certain people believe that the kitchen is where the woman belongs and this picture is just enforcing this. After the huge fight that woman activists had over their rights I believe that this is a turn back in time and could effect the way woman are treated in the future. Even when joked about this topic has a serious note behind it and having images like this is not helping.

culturally sensitive
This picture immediately brings to mind the NZ student culture but while many would think this culturally insensitive it is not. The fact that we as students drink so much coffee shows how much work we do and how much time and effort we put into it. The fact that we need coffee just shows we push the boundaries of normal sleeping habits so that need we need more help to keep going. Not a mental issue, merely our body not keeping up with our ambitions of having immediate success.
