What I learn about the movie : Necessities of life

In the movie "Necessities of life", there's a lot of lessons to understand. I learn that people can have a big judgement only depending on where you come from, how you look, what's your religion, etc. Many people reconize more themselves threw people of their communities so they are doing less effort to make it easier for the newcomer. Also, I learn how much you can feel lost when you're totally remove from your origin. Someone from anywhere else, specially not developped country, may had a lot of cultural shock. Feeling assimilation or enculturation is also a step of this trip.
