Cultural Post 8

[Taylor Johnson]

I watched two cultural presentations: one on transgender people in Pakistan and India, and the other on language usage in Indonesian. I thought it was really interesting that in Indonesian, there is such a complex pronouns structure. It must be difficult to know when to use which pronouns. It was also interesting to me to see how the transgender people were treated in Pakistan and India. I thought it was intriguing how they are seen as blessed and cursed at the same time.
