Throughout history, different races and ethnic groups have differentiated from each other through culture.
People define culture from the way a society behaves to what a society can produce.
When people of one culture are introduced to people of another culture, their views on each other s society and their own society alter. Some, through extended exposure, accept and begin to understand the other culture. Others, respond with negativity and ignorance, and never really see the other point of view. People tend to separate themselves from each other because they are incapable of accepting another culture. It was hard for Rowlandson to accept the way the Indians ate and lived.
