Cultures have their own set of norms to control acceptable behaviour. If we as fellow human beings all took the initiative to understand each other’s cultures, it might not seem that strange to us anymore and it is possible that we could help others in a way that is acceptable to the society in which we live in.

In chapter 1, Banks claims that marriage has been changed in the most recent quite a few years, developing from a social contract intended to guarantee monetary strength (or upgrade) and reproduction to something that is more relationship-based.

This change in socioeconomic status has had a major impact for many African Americans, in which the increasing diversity has created significant social and economic tensions within their ethnic community (Price et al., 2010).
