The writer recognizes when his or her personal experience and cultural background have impacted his or her writing. It is also more easier for an author to write on anything related to their own history or cultural heritage. However, if they do not identify these connections then it might come across as sounding artificial or even racist. An example is if an author writes about a character from a different culture but doesn't realize that they are being offensive so they don't change the description. Cultural sensitivity is important in writing because each person has a different view of the world and its events. If you write about something that happened in your life but didn't affect many other people then you won't be able to connect with your readers. They will see your story from only their perspective which may not be the same as yours. This can be avoided by being aware of how your background affects your perception of certain things and taking that into consideration while writing.
