Judgments of others and interpreta- tion of others is done according to the categories of one's own culture. Those from other cultures who behave and do things differently are per ceived as being bad mannered and wrong. Assessment ofothers and what is right or wrong often creates negative responses to those who are culturally different. Their cultures are treated as deviations from normality.
