4/ Cultural Bias: Perceptions of the Holocaust vary greatly across countries due to different historical and educational contexts. For example, in Germany and Austria, where the history of the Holocaust is taught intensively, knowledge of the events and perceptions of the risk of recurrence are certainly different from those in other countries, such as the United States or Romania. #CulturalBias #HistoricalContext

Today, I'm taking a mandatory course at work on cultural bias.I learned the important distinction between stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination.
-Stereotyping is how we THINK;
-Prejudice us how we FEEL;
-Discrimination is how we BEHAVE.
Thank you to the Canada School of Public Service 🍁 for teaching me this valuable lesson.

I reread it every few years. The first two sections are the best. If you like it, I recommend following it with American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America by Colin Woodard
To counter the white-centric bias in both, I recommend also reading some of the People's History books like An African American and Latinx History of the United States by Paul Ortiz.
