Reading through Transcommunality, it was a difficult text for me to understand the first time I read through the text. I understood that constant change and acceptance towards one another is a clear and helpful way to understand, agree and accept one another. In order to be understand our extremely diverse society, acceptance is key to all. Childs provided a huge example of the disagreements were the Native Americans. The "cultural erosion and terriosm" (pg.17) towards the change of religion for Native Americans, many saw them as traders and wanted to fight against them. Eventually through many hard understandings, acceptance and trust, many groups began to accept one another. I also understood that transcommunitly is not only of "ethnicity, race, class and gender" (pg. 21) but also many other diverse aspects in order to accept on another. It takes "tremendous discipline and courage" (pg 21) to not act out with anger, hate or grudges when someone or others don't believe on what you believe.
Questions:
1. How do we teach transcommunitly to generations to come?
