Contact Zones And Culture

The two main contact zones that I see in Burlington are Church Street, and classrooms at the college. When you go down to church street, there are many different types of people with different backgrounds. Whenever I walk down Church Street, I always see someone that catches my eye. I cant help but wonder what experiences this person has had and how their life may differ from mine. Also, since a lot of tourists come to visit, it only adds to the diversity. Its similar with the classroom. Most students are in that room for similar reasons, but they all come from different backgrounds with different experiences and opinions. Contacts zones are great especially when referring to a classroom because it enables the students to hear opinions from everyone. This can only help deepen a persons understanding about something, and shed light on a new perspective that has not been heard before.
