hi ,professor ,i think respect is the premise for anybody to communicate with others ,no matter who u talk to or ,friends or strangers ,it's just the most important .Everybody want and should be respected by people around him .In other words ,religion which is a part of some people should be valued and respected .you have to watch out for ur words and behaviour .Actually ,i have a Senegalese friend who visited me last weekend ,i know Most people in Senegal believe in Islam in which eating pork is not allowaed ,so i asked him and that's true ,he does't eat it daily .So i told my dad and mom not to prepare pork on the table .i think religion belief is a part of culture ,we everybody should respect the cultural diversity ,so religion belief should be respected incredibly !
