    The survey asked respondents in more than 80 different countries to identify kinds of people they would not want as neighbors. Some respondents, picking from a list, chose "people of a different race." The more frequently that people in a given country say they don't want neighbors from other races, the economists reasoned, the less racially tolerant you could call that society.

  • How do the instructors teach culture so that their adult students have more than a linguistic understanding of English? The subsequent question problematizes the first: How do the teachers decide what aspects of American culture should be taught and how do students react to these decisions?

  • authority figures
  • Students don't want the teacher to get embarrassed when a teacher can't answer a student's question.
  • Although students easily conceive of a teacher as an authority figure who corrects their mistakes all the time, teachers should note that correcting mistakes frequently can also increase the level of anxiety and discourage students' participation in group work.
  • a whole class discussion is somewhat intimidating to students
  • Gender also plays an important role.  Age related tensions are less prominent among women.  In fact, younger women will be more comfortable being grouped with other older women than with other men
  • In the process of shifting the center from a teacher to students by encouraging discussion, students may perceive that a teacher is not knowledgeable enough to lead the class or feel that they cannot learn from peers
