Perception is very important in regards to how we think about other people and groups. In this case it is like and iceberg. With an iceberg you can see what is above the water but the real mass is below and unseen. As you say it is creating a general image with incomplete information and an absence of understanding of individual circumstances.<br /> <br />Chris HelinskyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-45249432098171262162015-08-21T13:53:01.084-04:002015-08-21T13:53:01.084-04:00Great!

For further discussion on the latter, please click on my name in this specific posting.<br /> Mr. Jan Peczkishttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001OVGS1Y/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-48957454642822619652015-08-15T21:43:21.612-04:002015-08-15T21:43:21.612-04:00Thanks Danusha for running the discussion.
I kno...Thanks Danusha for running the discussion. <br /><br />I know Polish-Jewish relations are your area of professional interest. It's a worthwhile topic, and you've done a lot to bring parties together.<br /><br />But are Polish-Jewish relations any worse than any other relations when groups with different backgrounds come into contact ? As your presentation pointed out, Jews come from a history of 4000 years. Poles have their own history, and reasons to be proud of it. I know many other examples when nations with different backgrounds are forced to share the same geographical space. <br /><br />My native Transylvania is a case in point, where different people live together for centuries. Their relations are not without traps and pitfalls, but the relative isolation behind the mountains has also forged people together to some extent.<br /><br />Would be interesting to see a comparative analysis of various such tense relationships. My gut feeling is that the tension depends on the amount of different history. If the cultures coming into contact are very different, then the friction can be higher.<br /><br />Are Polish-German relations much better ? Are Jewish-Ukrainean relations much better ? Polish-Russian ? Jewish-Lithuanian ? On and on it goes. I had catarthic fun, when a Cambodian-born colleague explained how much the peoples of Indo-China hate each other.<br /><br />With the Polish-Jewish relationship, it may not be all bad. I saw religious Jews still dressing the way Polish nobility dressed in the 1500s when Jews were invited to live in a tolerant Poland. I tasted cucumbers prepared the Polish way, by traditional Jews. I know today's Poland carries memories of Jewish custom. <br /><br />Interaction can be positive as well. There is always something to learn from each other, whether it comes from short-wave radio or the mother's milk.
