I have grown up in a society that only teaches hate towards what is foreign. However, my family always thought a different way than everybody else ever did. And I am happy that this is true. Because if it wasn't this way, I would be just as short minded as many people I know.
All I ever read by American writers only portrayed Castro as a hungry dictator. But have you ever read a newspaper article from Spain adressing Fidel Castro? If you do, then you will see a diiferent side of the story than what you are used to.
No one should just believe what is printed on a piece of paper. The media is biased. I encourage everyone to be open ot other ideas and try to understand a culture, society and its history before judging its present.
